The Twelve Caesars

Angela & Uncle Jerry reference Suetonius's The Twelve Caesars as an example of biased biographical writing — Suetonius was a senator 'very prejudicially disposed against the Caesars,' so his account cannot be taken at face value. Uncle Jerry draws the parallel to how tabloid media constructs Taylor's public persona with similar bias, which is the persona she satirizes in Blank Space.
