Taylor "la Loca" Swift.

"It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me".

"Anti-Hero" letra y música de Taylor Swift, 2022

Recientemente he estado leyendo mucho a Virginia Woolf y Sylvia Plath y me han hecho pensar más en Taylor Swift (claro, mis amigos dirían que no hay nada raro en eso, tengo algunas de sus letras tatuadas en mi piel). Pero lo que he notado ahora es la forma en que Swift decidió adelantarse a sus críticos (empoderados por una misoginia innegable) al autonombrarse como "loca" y apropiarse de la etiqueta que ha sido empleada para minimizar, abusar y hasta quemar a las mujeres desde que comenzó el mundo.

A continuación, una recopilación de todos los momentos (hasta ahora) en que Swift habla de locura, la suya y la de otras mujeres, en la letra de sus canciones:
