How Swift’s The Man is like the Gettysburg Address: They both use a type of viral pun you should be using too.

from Decoding Taylor Swift · host Joe Romm and Toni Romm

The Man is one of Taylor’s most ironically meta songs. But it also repeatedly uses one of Lincoln’s favorite literary devices: a storytelling tool that you can use too to make your content go viral. The third song on the Era’s Tour set list is Taylor’s most iconically feminist song, which inspires some hilarious rants by Toni you won’t want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices.
