Taylor Swift is about to take over the world again with her highly anticipated release of TS12: The Life of a Showgirl. But how did she get here, how did we get here, and why does she even matter?
How did a young girl from Pennsylvania become the most significant, prolific storyteller of our time? Why does she captivate us to the point of madness, why does her music resonate so deeply, and how do her stories reflect our own stories?
In the first episode of the Taylor Swift 101 series, your Swiftie English teacher dives into 5 major reasons why Taylor really matters, and the answers might not be what you think.
