Summary

Did you know that Taylor Swift was inspired by Greek mythology when she wrote “Cassandra”? The lyricist of our generation found a way to take a story and adapt it in a way that not only applies to her, but to all women. Ana, Lacey, Amy, and Nick discuss the lyrics to “mad woman”’s sister song, and how it connects to other parts of Taylor’s discography, life, and also moments in recent societal culture.
