SwifTEA: Taylor Swift Album Announcement & New Heights Podcast Debut with TS12 “The Life of a Showgirl”

Is "The Bolter" another classic case of Taylor Swift adapting a story to her own life?

In "I Look In People's Windows", Taylor Swift continues the metaphorical exploration of "what if" that we've seen all throughout THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT.

Lacey, Ana, Nick, and Amy break down the lyrics of the song, how it connects to others across her discography, the inspiration from Emily Dickinson, and so much more!
