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.
These three songs are about how Taylor takes control of her life, and the narrative of her brand:
Midnights' Giant Taylor tells the audience and the subject of the song she has been orchestrating all these "spontaneous" moments that propel her life and the story forward.
TTPD's Poet Taylor writes her poems earnestly, drawing on moments in her own life. But once the songs are released they take on a life of their own. The stories are shaped by the audience and the media's read on them, not necessarily Taylor's truth. She looks backward in order to write the story her fans want to see.
TLOAS' Showgirl Taylor Went from student to teacher during her career. Taylor knows exactly how to cover scandals, and how to use secrets as leverage. She learned from others how to empower her own career, and will defend it vigorously.
