Continuing the tracklist of my version of Taylor Swift’s latest album…
Taylor Swift’s Asylum
Track #9: ‘Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?’
Swift is angry on much of The Tortured Poets Department — at her exes, at her fans, at her rivals, at the media and the music industry. My Asylum tracklist includes a few of those songs, and none more bracing and compelling than today’s SOTD.
‘Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?’ finds Swift embracing the villain label slapped on her by the haters. If you paint me as the big bad wolf, she argues, don’t be surprised when I bite.
