Taylor Swift’s “Mad Woman” was inspired by Daenerys Targaryen’s Journey in Game of Thrones? Check out the story!

When I thought I was gone Game of Thrones behind it, Taylor Swift drew me back to Westeros with her new album, Folklore. One song in particular has me convinced that it’s all about Daenerys Targaryen, aka the Mad Queen. I swear this on the old gods and the new!

Let’s dive in. After the album’s surprise release, Taylor teased characters from her songs, dropping hints like “a misfit widow who takes gleeful revenge on the town that drove her out.” Sounds familiar, right? I mean, who else fits this description better than Dany herself?

In May 2019, before the Game of Thrones series finale, Taylor confessed to being a superfan in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. She even admitted that many songs from her album Reputation drew inspiration from the fierce women of Westeros. Take the line: “I have a list of names, and yours is underlined in red” — a nod to Arya Stark that Taylor herself confirmed.

Now let’s look at the lyrics of “Mad Woman,” which are the tangible proof. The line “Does she smile or say ‘F*ck you forever’?” immediately conjured up images of Emilia Clarke’s iconic expressions. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Next question: “Does a scorpion sting when it fights back?” This line plays on the weapons used against Dany’s dragons, known as Scorpions. It’s not a direct reference yet, but it does plant some Game of Thrones imagery.

Then we got to the heavy stuff: “Every time you call me crazy, I get even crazier.” Taylor is on to something here. If you keep telling someone that he or she seems angry, guess what? They get even angrier! This echoes the feelings of characters like Tyrion Lannister, who pondered Dany’s fate and the “Targaryen madness.”

And don’t miss: “What a shame she went crazy.” That feels like a direct Tyrion quote. The frustration over Daenerys’ demise is palpable.

Now let’s talk about dragons. The lines “Now I breathe flames every time I talk” and “My guns are all shooting at your yacht” seals the deal regarding the Targaryen imagery. The “yacht” could easily refer to Euron Greyjoy’s Iron Fleet – talk about burning bridges!

Swift also shouts, “Women like to hunt witches too.” Here she slyly taps into Daenerys’ rivalry with Cersei. In her other Thrones-inspired song, “Look What You Made Me Do,” she mentions burning witches. Chance? I don’t think so!

The text ‘It is clear that the wish to have me dead has brought you together’ invites discussion about who she is addressing. You could point the finger at real-life figures like Scooter Braun, but I can see Dany’s paranoia about her enemies – Cersei, Euron, Jon and Tyrion – simmering underneath.

And we should not overlook: “I see how you climb, how you climb over people like me.” This feels like a direct nod to Jon Snow. When Dany landed in Westeros, she never expected competition from him, especially someone who would rise through the ranks so quickly.

Finally, in Game of Thrones, a monarch’s council members are known as the “master of” something. The ‘Master of Spin’ likely refers to Varys, the Master of Whispers, who famously met his fiery end at Dany’s hands.

So there you have it: Taylor Swift’s ‘Mad Woman’ clearly channels the fiery spirit of Daenerys Targaryen. With lyrical connections to Game of Thrones, it’s impossible not to see the Targaryen influence. Long live the Mad Queen!
