Moren ventures into a behind-the-scenes look at the artificiality often concealed in the glamorized image of Taylor Swift. She emphasizes that many elements of Swift’s “story” are carefully engineered, making it clear that these moments are sometimes deliberately staged for publicity.

This email, penned by Scott Swift, Taylor’s father, reveals a highly orchestrated effort to craft his daughter’s rise to fame. Moren reads excerpts that demonstrate how much strategic planning, management, and behind-the-scenes manipulation went into her development as a star.
