Taylor Swift Calls Herself the Problem in Anti-Hero (but is she?)

Join us as we dive into one of Taylor Swift's most vulnerable tracks--and it was a single? Yes, "Anti-Hero" was one of Taylor Swift's most successful singles, going #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 8 weeks. And despite its synth beat and earworm chorus, it contains some of her most sad lyrics that are filled with self-loathing.

Join Exquisite and Hannah as they talk about how Taylor internalizes the criticisms that she herself is the problem (whether in her personal life or in the public eye) and creates a banger that's actually sick with sadness. (And can you guess what other lead single carries a similar theme that also makes you want to dance?)
