Taylor creates a narrator that many people feel like they know. When we talk about Taylor, sometimes it’s the Taylor in the song, sometimes it’s the real-life Taylor who wrote the song, sometimes there’s confusion between them, and sometimes she’s the one confused. It’s like The Divine Comedy, where we have Dante Poet (the author) and Dante Pilgrim (the narrator). Taylor Songwriter may or may not be Taylor Pilgrim, Taylor Lover, Taylor Pathological People Pleaser, Taylor Mirrorball, or Taylor Hi I’m the Problem It’s Me. She likes to keep cryptic about that.
