A muse is a someone or something that serves as a source of inspiration for an artist. Swift is notorious for writing about her real-life relationships, something which she’s been ridiculed for in the past.
A muse is a someone or something that serves as a source of inspiration for an artist. Swift is notorious for writing about her real-life relationships, something which she’s been ridiculed for in the past.
Here, Swift uses the word “muse” to connect herself to the Romantic poets mentioned throughout the song – a reclamation of that criticism, which she has said “comes from a place of such sexism.”
