Tricia’s Wednesday PD: Taylor Swift and the era of Trump

TRUMP ERA POP ART

I would pair off  TSwift with Hedda Gabler.

 

3 Best Ideas:

  1. But what IS the song of the summer? Is it Despacito, rising from obscurity, capturing the imagination of the world? Or is it this hyper-aware selfie of a song? Is the best female character on stage Hedda or Lady Macbeth?
  2. Is the only recourse of a minority group to hold those in power at gunpoint and demand respect?
  3. Pop music reflects politics = Hedda’s last piano piece reflective of the destructive nature of the gender politics of that time.
