keatonzee Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I've been listening to "The Tortured Poets Department" and i've heard people say that the last verse in "Clara Bow" is about Olivia. so I want to know what you guys think? "You look like Taylor Swift In this light, we're loving it You've got edge, she never did The future's bright, dazzling" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawx23 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 People were saying Sabrina but it seems absurd she'd write an entire song given their relatively featureless dynamic tbh. The Olivia tea makes more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swissman Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) I don't think so. This is actually the only song's lyrics I read as I am a fan of Clara Bow (and was reading to make sure the references to her were correct/not objectifying her, only to find only ONE reference of her in the entire song lol, but that's another story). I interpreted this line as just Taylor aligning herself with Clara and Stevie as the next generation of an archetype others will be compared to. The lines show that while she can be held up as this symbol of success or beauty, the person comparing will also add in their own little shade and unnecessary comparative remarks (having more edge than her). I suppose Olivia fits into that, as she's come after her and has been compared to her (and some people then rate them against each other) but it doesn't feel like it's aimed at Olivia alone, at all, unless I'm missing some words here that have meaning to their situation. It just feels like a way to wrap up the song from the far past, the near past and then the present/future. Edited April 19 by swissman 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raphy23 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Clearly about Carly Rae Jepsen. She's doing Taylor's sound but better and Taylor isn't having it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawx23 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Also: Stevie Nicks is famously GOAT Rock and Roll - more Olivia's kind of music than any other famous pop girl right now This is her from 1977, Wiki photo. Olivia vibes tbh Edited April 19 by hawx23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
