Just when I thought I'd had enough of "Game of Thrones," Taylor Swift drags me back into the fantasy world of George R.R. Martin. She released her new album, folklore, last week, and one song in particular has me convinced that it is a reference to Westeros: the song "Mad Woman" actually sings about Daenerys Targaryen, aka "The Mad Queen," and I lay out the evidence here. If need be, I swear by the Old Gods and the New Gods that.

Here are all the receipts from important background information.

On Instagram before the surprise album release, Swift teased some of the characters in the new songs (opens in new tab), adding at the end, "a misfit widow who gleefully takes revenge on the town that kicked her out." Sound like the Khaleesis you know?

In May 2019, at a simpler time before the "Game of Thrones" series finale aired, Swift revealed to Entertainment Weekly (opens in new tab) that she is a superfan. Many of the well-received songs and lyrics were inspired by the women of Westeros. For example, "I got a list of names, and yours is in red underlined" refers quite directly to Arya Stark. Taylor herself says as much.

Let's get into the nitty-gritty here. It is clear that the lyrics of this song are the biggest receipts. First and foremost, the line "Does she smile, or does she mouth, "f*ck you forever."" flashes back to this Emilia Clarke expression:

And from there we see the most compelling lyrics. Here's what's next:

Do scorpions sting when they fight back?

The weapon used against Dany's dragon was called a scorpion. This is not yet a direct reference to the Targaryen, but she has already laid out the Game of Thrones image. Moving on to the next set:

Every time you call me crazy, I get crazier What about it? Every time you say I look angry, I get angrier. And there's nothing like a mad woman "It's too bad she's crazy Nobody likes a crazy woman. Over the last two seasons of "Game of Thrones," characters such as Tyrion Lannister, Varys, and Jon Snow continued to argue over whether Daenerys would succumb to "Targaryen madness" and commented on how angry she was in any given scenario They were. 'When you get mad at someone who seems mad at you, you get madder,' she said. 'It's too bad she's gone crazy,' is something Tyrion would say. Next: [spits fire every time she speaks And the "yacht" from which she fired her cannon must be Euron Greyjoy's Iron Fleet.

In the second verse, she also says that "women like to hunt witches too," which is appropriate since Denalis' most obvious enemy is Queen Cersei, and T. Swift sings about burning witches in another song inspired by "Thrones," "Look What You Made Me Do" So it's an apt description. There are more. [It's clear that he wants me dead. 27]

OK, you can argue all you want about whether these lyrics are about a real person. But Scooter Braun is sorry for this man. I choose to believe that this is about Dany's "enemies everywhere" mindset and paranoia; first about Cersei and Euron, then about Jon and Tyrion.

I see you climbing, I see you climbing Above the likes of me. The spin master has two flings

This feels like a direct reference to Jon Snow. When Daenerys arrived in Westeros, she did not expect to find many local competitors. (Jon, in particular, quickly emerged as a threat to her Iron Throne position (there is a key episode in season 3 called "The Climb," which even an idiot like me can admit is a stretch.)

Finally, in "Game of Thrones," the members of the monarch's small council are called "masters" of something, such as "coins" or "ships." Who are you referring to as the master of spin?" probably Vallis, the master of whispering.

This song is definitely about Danny and makes me reconsider many of my opinions about the generally hated finale. Let the healing process begin.
