sapphic "it" girls: taylor swift & clara bow, a century apart

Taylor Swift released “Clara Bow” as the final song on her latest album’s anthology, The Tortured Poet’s Department. From a brief google search, you can learn that Clara Bow was a Hollywood megastar, known as the original “it girl” during the champagne-drenched golden era of the 1920s. But, Clara Bow was also a bisexual icon… that part is often erased by the history books. Is this the larger reason as to why Taylor uses Clara as inspiration? Does Taylor see herself as a Clara Bow reincarnated? Hailey digs into the life, career, & queerness of Clara Bow, and highlights the eerily similar connections between the modern it girl's (Taylor Swift) art and life to the original it girl's (Clara Bow).Join my Patreon: HERE!Buy my merch: HERE!
