I think this song is so underrated. It's my favorite Taylor song. She managed to translate the way they try to discredit women by calling them crazy.

@mendwithmere Год назад

YES!❤

@deborahgrabien3125 Год назад

We're actually covering it on our third record. It's an absolutely perfect song. Love the rage,

@cruzinbosco Год назад

In my opinion, this is by far one of her most important songs. It pervades every fiber of my being. Those lyrics are both powerful and honest. Every day in our society, we see this, we have it happen to us, and we do it to other women. It breaks my heart and pisses me off.

I remember during the one year anniversary of folklore someone did a ranking of the songs (I think on buzzfeed?) and they ranked mad woman last and said that it lacked staying power. I think about that a lot. I can't imagine not feeling this song deep in my gut every single time.

@mendwithmere Год назад

Last?!?!?! Deep in my gut too

@servicedogkyzanna1761 Год назад

People are very uncomfortable with angry women, lol- doncha know we are crazy?

@LaiseAyres Год назад

A guy must have written that list.

@GoldenRose116 Год назад

I always felt it was not just about Scooter and Scott but also about Kanye and Kim. Specificly about how they framed her in 2016 which brought her to a really dark place. Especially the: "And women like hunting witches too, doing your dirtiest work for you." With Kim filming and posting the edited video.

@servicedogkyzanna1761 Год назад

Kanye is just so sick in the head- he began the whole thing, then got mad at her, because he got backlash for doing it, and vowed to get even with her, and the entire thing will continue forever.

@sarahcarry4037 Год назад

Agreed, this gives Kim and Kanye vibes more than anyone else. She got them good.

@iheartlol90 9 месяцев назад

It’s so true too. Women will hate on other women when we should stand together. It’s unfortunate.

@jodihummel5433 Год назад

She made big machine… he knew exactly what Taylor’s swift could be. I really believe Scott believed taylor was done and threw her away like trash all in the name of business. Seeing taylor succeed after big machine is like seeing her start all over again and it’s beautiful to watch

@C-Iris Год назад

One of my favorites songs!!! The melody, her voice, the LYRICS are amazing!!!

@mendwithmere Год назад

Yes!!

@alyssanielsen8521 Год назад

This is probably one of my favorite Taylor Swift songs. I don't typically think of how this song relates to her life, but just kind of commentary on society. Like the "women like hunting witches too, doing your dirtiest work for you" is very apparent in society. It kind of speaks to the internalized misogyny that women have.

@mendwithmere Год назад

Yes it is!!

@Anthology_of_Holly 10 месяцев назад

Agree! Especially when she says ‘she should be mad, she should be scathing like me, but no one likes a mad woman’. The fear of being the next target is exactly how they get women to pull each other down.

@jamesyeh7106 Год назад

I love this song so much, it can be applied to men as well. I relate to it so much, I’ve been gaslit, I remember the face of pure unadulterated rage and hatred when I said “you want me to be crazy? I’ll show you crazy” when he realizes that I’m still 100% sane and not shattered beyond repair like he wanted I just laugh in his face saying “this is the result you desperately want, to have your plans backfire” lol

@mendwithmere Год назад

Hell yes. I need to be mindful that men also deal with this too!! Please know I’ll be better about this in the future. Thanks for sharing!❤

@talia3053 Год назад

I've never even thought of connecting this to the Scooter Braun situation which after you explaining it it is so clear, I love your thought process.

@emmaisinexile1987 Год назад

It’s differently about her music I feel her pain and anger 😢 I can’t imagine creating something and then when asked to own it coz I made it then not only told no but it being sold to someone else. I would be feeling everything all at once! I love how she just just write a song on how she feels 😍 sometimes I don’t have the words or don’t know how to say how something or a situation makes me feel let alone write a song She is truely a genius 😍

@servicedogkyzanna1761 Год назад

This exactly. Also, everyone should know by now that it isn't a good idea to cross Taylor, because when she really hates somebody...... Well, lets just say "Vigilante Shit" is about situations that really happened. The sad part is that the lyric about her not starting shit is also real. She has run into some really skeezy people in this industry, I'm not sure her parents really helped her put personal boundaries in place to handle things, like not dating 32 year old men when you are only 19, and things like that, or helped her in other ways they might have, water under the bridge, however, what she has learned is how to use her power now. While I think she certainly think she could benefit from therapy, who the hell do you trust if you're Taylor? If you're approaching a billion dollars, with her history, how do you know who wants to be around you to help you, or for your money or access to what you have? I wouldn't trust anyone. That said, I love both songs. When you have time, please react to "Closure". It is along the same lines. I think it is full of rage, myself, a big f-u song, but also full of hurt.

@mendwithmere Год назад

Thank you for sharing this! I’ll check closure out bc I never listened deeply to it, which im embarrassed to say

@bobbyrw1398 Год назад

I too find the lyrical link between Mad Woman and Vigilante Shit very telling. I think Taylor may have had the goods on ole Scooter and was willing to share it with Yael. IDK but certainly an interesting thought. Remember from Mastermind that she's always been cryptic and Machiavellian. And she's not one to be messed with. Her memory's long and her daggers sharp. And isn't she just a therapist's dream come true? Her mind. What a labyrinth of mystery.

@aidenrushing9841 7 месяцев назад

THANK YOU for discussing the line between actual gaslighting and suicide. I'm not saying my ex was the only reason for my last suicide attempt (9 years ago and I've fought like hell to get to the amazing place I am now), but her gaslighting was def a major force behind where I ended up. I can still hear verbatim the last phone convo before that attempt occurred. And I know both the play and movie that drove the term gaslighting. And that phone call was the last "gaslighting" straw the most def pushed me over an edge I had standing on for a hot minute (and she knew it).

@aidenrushing9841 7 месяцев назад

Also, transmen tend to get labeled similarly to cis-women. Or, in my experience at least. As a transman my ex most certainly attacked me in very similar ways to what I experienced when I presented as female. I was "horomonal" or acting like "a chick". I look back on some of those experiences and am just floored by how she (and a couple other exes) treated me as a transgender man.

@annielapierre9838 Год назад

Yes it is totally universal because again, hearing you explain and express your thoughts, I can relate to a t to this song. I've been bullied for a long time, sexualy abused for a while when I was at a young age and now I do not take shit from anybody......and what's the reaction from ppl??? They say I'm crazy !!! I'm not crazy, I'm just not taking it anymore. Big difference.

@hannahshmulsky7119 5 месяцев назад

I’m really glad you did a video on Mad Woman, it’s one of my hardcore favorite Taylor songs. To me this song is all about gaslighting and reactive abuse, including the systemic gaslighting women deal with everyday. Her horrible experience with Scott Borchetta is a perfect example of how men screw women over and expect them to take it with a smile…or else. We’re under scrutiny with every move we make, every word we say. Speaking our truth, enforcing our boundaries, these things aren’t really accepted by the mainstream culture. Taylor drops a lot of truth bombs in her lyrics, it’s one of the things I love most about her. She’s a warrior.

@allisonhunter1063 Год назад

15:09 makes so much sense. Also TS has a song called "Shake it off"... I've seen animals shake like that after something scared the shit out of them, and its like their whole bodies are on vibrate for a few minutes before they can calm down. Anyone else ever notice they go numb when they're in a rage? I wonder if its bc our brain is getting us ready for a physical fight and those who don't feel the blows can't be affected by them. Makes all the sense in the world to me.

@ellieandthetorts Год назад

My cannons all firing at your yacht lyric also has actually has another very direct reference as well as the scooter one as back when they were friends Justin Beiber Punk'd Taylor by inviting her round to his house, getting her to set off some 'special' fireworks into the ocean & making her think she burned down a nearby yacht with a wedding currently happening. Then the supposed wedding party got to shore in lifeboats & she seemed terrified & hella upset.

@mendwithmere Год назад

Omg!!!! I remember that now!! Thank you for reminding!

@ellieandthetorts Год назад

@@mendwithmere no problem!! It very possibly is a reference to both. The cannon firing being the justin side & the aiming 'at your yacht' being the scooter side.

UNDERRATED RELATABLE MASTERPIECE WBK

@Nico_lente Год назад

Great song, great analysis. You're so right (again). Just look at the way women are portrayed in the media, and not just in the tabloids. The second they raise their voice they are basically labeled as hysterical. Whether it's politicians or athletes, or indeed musicians. That double standard is horrible, i feel. A Dutch politician who was accused of being 'irritated' in a debate replied: 'If you think this is me being irritated, you should see me when I really am. Believe me, you'll know the difference' . It's just tactics to belittle an opponent, of course.

@JenniferDomitrovits-xu9df 6 месяцев назад

I agree- I think part of the reason it’s not as popular as some others because, IMO, you need to be a woman for this song to really punch you in the gut. Not that there aren’t any men who, “get it”, they are definitely out there. I just think this song is much more likely to understand what she’s saying.

Epiphany will make you cry 😢😢 i swear to god

@LJharrison91 Год назад

Omg, yaass!! I wholeheartedly believe that Epiphany is her most underrated song. It's almost as if it doesn't even exist. Which is a travesty in light of all the fervent yet gentle emotions that this song imbues. When I see comment feeds that go viral asking about things to list Taylor's songs for this-or-that, it's NEVER (or very rarely) listed. But Epiphany is so ethereal & necessary. It's hauntingly beautiful, & gut wrenchingly honest. It's written about such a specific topic at a horrid time in our world, honoring workers & the lives lost. Yet there are parts of the song that almost anyone can relate to. She is saying, "I'm here with you, fighting alongside you. You're not alone in this pain." It's a beautiful craftsmanship of specificity & broadness intertwined. She has done this without the intricate verbiage she displays in her other works. Even though that's one of the major things that makes Taylor's art unique, this song simply does not need that in order to portray its message. It is a simple yet intricate ballad, that breaks my heart but brings me comfort at the same time. I believe this song is an intrinsic track, & I wonder if she herself even realizes its lyrics should be framed. Only Taylor can do these things. Please, react to Epiphany.💜🙏🏼💜
