Description

Taylor Swift doesn’t just write songs. She writes modern-day allegories. In this episode, we crack open “Red,” one of Swift’s most metaphor-dense tracks, to uncover why metaphors aren’t just lyrical flourishes but memory tricks that make stories unforgettable. From Maseratis on dead-end streets to falling autumn leaves, Joe and Toni explore how Swift uses metaphors to tattoo emotions onto our brains.
