Today, we\u2019re sharing a special episode of Into It: A Vulture Podcast with Sam Sanders about one of Kara\u2019s favorites: Taylor Swift.\n\nWhat is the meaning of Taylor Swift? She's performed damsel in distress, but represents women\u2019s empowerment. She\u2019s a confessional artist, but is careful about how much she reveals. She's an adult, but is often still viewed as the teenager she used to be. On the eve of Midnights, Sam dives into the mythos and craft of Taylor Swift with NPR music critic Ann Powers about her place in history among the likes of Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Adele, and Beyonc\xe9.\n\nWe also hear about the culture that's haunting us: Explain to us again why Bobby Cannavale's character in The Watcher wants to replace a Carrara marble countertop with butcher block? To make red sauce?\n\nTo listen to more of Into It: A Vulture Podcast with Sam Sanders, follow the show: https://podcasts.voxmedia.com/show/into-it-a-vulture-podcast-with-sam-sanders\nLearn more about your ad choices.
