Exploring The SECRETS Behind The Last Great American Dynasty

In this episode we explore the backstory behind The Last Great American Dynasty, a song in which Taylor cleverly ties her life and experiences at her Rhode Island home to those of Rebekah Harkness, one of the previous owners of the grand estate. Known for her eccentricities and causing trouble, the parallels Taylor draws between herself and Rebekah are extremely fitting and touch upon how society tends to view women who choose to enjoy the marvelous times to be had, despite what others may say.
