Taylor Swift has just revealed that his song Paternal figure was inspired by the series, Succession.
During an appearance in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the winner of 14 Grammy Awards talked about several of her songs on her latest album, The Life of A Showgirl.
The 35 -year -old mega -stress said that the fourth issue of the album, “Father Figure”, had Succession influences and the relationship between the ruthless and fictional patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox) and his children.
“It’s like, Protected-Mentor, and the relationship between the two, right?” Swift explained and added: “And the dynamics of power and the idea that power could change and someone could betray someone, is very fun to write.”
“And this is written from the perspective of the Mentor of the Protected,” he also mentioned, while entering the inspiration of pop culture, which is a scene that belongs to the fourth season of Succession.
“I kept thinking about that Succession scene when Logan looks at his children and says: ‘I love them, but they are not serious people.’
The Lover singer mentioned that she wanted to write a song that “has that energy” by Logan telling her children: “You bit the hand that fed you.” “You don’t possess the vernacular tongue to do this,” he added.
Swift continued: “But I also feel completely identified with the perspective of the protected in many of these situations, right? I identify with the youngest, as when I hear this song, even from the perspective of the character of the father figure. That’s why I like this song so much.”
Fallon acknowledged that Blank Space singer “always finds the way” to react to fans, “Wait … Do you just say that?”
“That is entertainment,” concluded Taylor Swift.
