100. Mental Cages: Dear Reader

Taylearning: A Taylor Swift Podcast

25-09-2024 • 1 ora 2 minuti

Often (unfairly) overlooked and frequently (unjustly) criticized, ‘Midnights’ closer “Dear Reader” is a diaristic, confessional, and somber track that reminds its listener that, despite being full of advice, the author herself is not to be trusted. In this installment of the Mental Cages series, which doubles as Taylearning’s landmark 100th episode (!!!), Dani & Olivia break down this divisive track, chewing on every lyric to make some sense of it all. Taylor has spent the better part of two decades giving advice to millions through her lyrics, but in this song, she has herself (and the audience) wondering- is she really qualified to be a beacon of truth?

100 EPISODES!!! Thank you for being here. It’s cheesy, but we love this community and what we have built from the ground up. To celebrate and to thank you, listen all of the way through the very end of this episode- we have a surprise :)
