Connection to Taylor Swift

Part of the biographical lore Angela sometimes draws on rather than a stated inspiration. The Red era, and All Too Well in particular, is widely read by listeners against this short relationship, and the hosts acknowledge that reading where it earns its place. It stays conjecture: as Taylor puts it, the person a song is read against did not write it, she did.
