Week 6 post 1: Mad Woman

 “Mad Woman” by Taylor Swift 

Swift, Taylor. “Mad Woman.” Spotify. https://open.spotify.com/track/2QDyYdZyhlP2fp79KZX8Bi 

 

What did you think I'd say to that? 
Does a scorpion sting when fighting back? 
They strike to kill and you know I will(Women are expected to not fight back, but swift will) 
You know I will 
What do you sing on your drive home? 
Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?(refrences a Taylor Swift billboard located near Scott Borchetta’s house) 
Does she smile? 
Or does she mouth, "Fuck you forever"?(Taylor swift dropped the F-bomb??? For the first time ever?) 

Every time you call me crazy 
I get more crazy 
What about that? 
And when you say I seem angry 
I get more angry 

And there's nothin' like a mad woman 
What a shame she went mad 
No one likes a mad woman 
You made her like that 
And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out 
And you find something to wrap your noose around (Women are provoked and then shamed for getting mad) 
And there's nothin' like a mad woman 

Now I breathe flames each time I talk 
My cannons all firin' at your yacht 
They say, "Move on", but you know, I won't 
And women like hunting witches, too (refrences Kim K and her support of Kanye during the “Famous” incident) 
Doing your dirtiest work for you(Women who supported Scooter Braun while he remained silent) 
It's obvious that wanting me dead  
Has really brought you two together(Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun) 

Every time you call me crazy 
I get more crazy 
What about that? 
And when you say I seem angry 
I get more angry 

And there's nothin' like a mad woman 
What a shame she went mad 
No one likes a mad woman 
You made her like that 
And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out 
And you find something to wrap your noose around 
And there's nothin' like a mad woman 

I'm takin' my time 
Takin' my time 
'Cause you took everything from me(Her masters to her first 6 albums) 
Watchin' you climb 
Watchin' you climb 
Over people like me 
The master of spin 
Has a couple side flings(Scooter braun has been cheating on his wife) 
Good wives always know 
She should be mad 
Should be scathing like me(She should be mad about the cheating, mad about how he treated Swift, but no one likes a mad woman) 

But no one likes a mad woman 
What a shame she went mad 
You made her like that
