Abstract

For many ordinary Americans—the ones who do not spend their days concerned with the minutia of administrative law doctrine—the biggest release of 2024 might have been international pop sensation Taylor Swift’s eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. The album’s standard edition ends with the track “Clara Bow,” which reflects on the entertainment industry’s habit of cycling through young female performers. Swift’s own experiences inform the song: she has explained how powerful record label executives would compare her to some other artist who came before her, then gratuitously disparage that woman, and then assure Swift that she is an improvement in some way or another. On and on, the cycle goes; what was once praised gets discredited and discarded to make way for something supposedly newer and better that will someday suffer the same fate.
