The Diction Study of Cold As You

The Swiftie and The Scholar

In this episode of The Swiftie and The Scholar, Angela and Uncle Jerry are taking it waaayyy back to 2006 with Taylor Swift’s first ever track 5, Cold As You. It might seem like a weird choice, but Angela wanted to present Uncle Jerry with some of Taylor’s earliest work so he could gain context around her growth as an artist over her entire career. 

Uncle Jerry finds a few redeeming qualities in the song, and together they explore other break-up poetry from the greats.
