Taylor Swift and Mythology
About the Project
This project seeks to explore the deep-rooted connections and ties between fans of Taylor Swift, her music, her stories woven into the music, and the idol herself. Taylor Swift’s storytelling and connection to fans is a form of contemporary mythology and meaning-making.
Taylor Swift, therefore, is a Corn Wolf. She is human, and idol, and symbol all at once. She is the music and the performer. She is the writer and the topic, and even the theme. All of these are possible, and it is because all of these are possible that she is the figure she is.
