    Clara Bow, Louise Brooks, Lillian Gish, Colleen Moore, Mary Pickford are the IT GIRLS of the 1920s.

      maybe so, but the term "it girl" came FROM Clara Bow because she was in a movie called: 'It'.

    i think the parallels are probably about the ending of her career and how she left the spotlight behind but we’ll see. this was the most intriguing track to me based on the names only.

      "everyone interesting already knows all the cool things I know about" 🙄
      gimme a break. everyone learns new things throughout their life. it doesn't make you superior because you already knew about a piece of history that others didn't. you had to learn about it at some point, you weren't born with the info already in your brain.
      I've always loved Clara Bow but I have a film degree and you don't see me sh*tting on new people learning about her. that's a good thing!
      I'm sure you already possess all of human knowledge though, right? there's nothing "cool" left for you to learn?
      everyone should always be learning new things, expanding their knowledge. looking down on people for not already knowing history from the silent film era is ridiculous. the average American, at the very least, has very little knowledge of early cinema.

      come on guys, way to miss the point 🤡 it's not about a specific new singer (olivia or sabrina), it's about how female artists are put on a pedestal only to be replaced for the next 'it girl' and it's a cycle.

      ​@@rebeccavliet2011 this is absolutely ridiculous it is not and never was about anyone specific artist. Taylor even says what it's about on iHeartRadio. this is about what the industry does to artists. read the lyrics, the ones that say you're a breath of fresh air are in quotes because that's what the suits in La for example are saying. it's about promising to young girls that they can be the brand new thing and comparing them to whatever popular star there is at the time.
      Taylor says that this happened to her when she was getting into the industry that they would compare her to some other popular female artist but say she was better for XYZ reason.
      y'all are literally perpetuating what she's arguing against in many of her songs. "Comparing all the girls who are killing it".
      if you even thought about a specific artist that she may be referring to at the end then you completely missed the point because she's not doing that at all.

    Clara Bow had more talent, sincerity, goodness, humility and ability in her little finger than Taylor Schwing Schwang will ever have in her lifetime. Clara Bow was a true original and Swift is just a wannabee copycat.
