They talk about Taylor's birth chart and how it eerily resembles Emily Dickinson's, as well as how Folklore and Evermore mirror Dickinson's story and writing. Katie shares the similar queer themes of Sylvia Plath's novel, The Bell Jar, and how the storyline mirrors Taylor's Reputation era. Finally, they explain how Taylor has referenced The Scarlett Letter since Fearless, and its themes of shame, sexuality, public scrutiny, etc.
