“Mad Woman” by Taylor Swift
In “Mad Woman”, the singer tells the story of a hysterical woman who intends to fight back her critics and adversaries despite being perceived as crazy. Her use of ‘mad’ in the context of this song reveals that she is both angry, and viewed as crazy by others.
Taylor addresses the wide held view that females overreact to issues when in fact, they are only standing up for themselves and for what they believe is right. Apparently, the song is directed at her haters. These are people who have wronged her yet paint her as a lunatic for trying to get even with them. She expresses that she has exercised enough patience in the past to the point where she is now irritated and ready to attack. She notes that, it is the same people who made her evolve into this state of madness that criticize her for her defensiveness.
In the second verse, the artist makes a clear reference to how music executives, Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta wronged her. She accuses them of working closely together in the sale of her music without her due consent. She alludes to the fact that her death would give them utmost satisfaction and a huge return on the investment. The singer highlights how she felt exploited, while making it clear that this time she is not going to just forget about it and move on. She is determined to fight back even if she is labeled as crazy.
“Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy”
Summary
“Mad Woman” is based on Swift’s reactions on dealing with her dispute with Borchetta and Braun over the ownership of her music.

Je ne sais pas si c’est vrai mais mad woman devait paraître sur reputation alors je pense que la chanson fait référence à kanye west et kim kardashian car taylor swift était perçue comme une menteuse manipulatrice.
This song uses mystic symbols, metaphors and magical symbols. It is a black magic spell. Mad Woman shows ‘M’ drawing energy from below, ‘W’ from up above. Her face appears in the lawn of the woman and is a spirit of poison. ‘Scorpion, Sting and Striking’ starts the repeated use of ‘S’ meaning a blessing, or shown as three meaning a curse. It is filled with tricks: “they say move on, but you know I won’t” is a break spell she is incanting to make her determination for his destruction absolute. It is awe-inspiring to think someone can make a beautiful piece of music with so much extra hidden inside of it. Genius
