Each Version of Taylor's Career/Fame Goals & Pitfalls [TS: Perspectives Albums 10/11/12]

 

I'm Testing out this theory that there is a song in each of the 'Multiple Taylor's Series' that talks about the same situation from each different perspective. We're remembering the physical portrayals from the Anti-Hero music video that gave us the map to Taylor's plan of introducing each persona. See my other posts about it:

Obviously not every song has a 1:1:1 match, because the tracklists are different lengths. But I thought it would be a fun exercise none-the-less, and might be enlightening. 

Here's the easiest one: 

Big Taylor's perspective on fame is shared on Midnights 

Poet Taylor's perspective on fame is shared on The Tortured Poets Department

Showgirl Taylor's perspective on fame is shared on The Life of a Showgirl

I highlighted parts of each song that I think are extra compelling.

You can see Big Taylor is traumatized but resilient in YOYOK.

Poet-Taylor is excited and resolute.

Showgirl-Taylor is jaded and cynical.

I'm working on some other ones, but they're a little bit more difficult. I'll share as I work it out. Let me know which songs YOU think go together.
