In my mind, associatively or even intuitively, Sylvia Plath and Taylor Swift were always connected. Most of all through their intensity, which I could both recognize and relate to. But also because of how they represent different registers of femininity\u2014and how they both speak to these polar parts in my psyche, as I’m sure they do for many others, almost archetypally. Maggie Nelson describes Swift as someone with a “joy-giving capacity,” a figure associated with cheerful vitality and hopefulness, while Plath is framed through her “genuinely scary extremity” and darkness: “death in the shape of a woman, femininity as deadly.” So when I came across Nelson\u2019s newly released book, The Slicks: On Sylvia Plath and Taylor Swift<\/em>, I ordered it immediately.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet this connection seems almost scandalous, perhaps because literary taste so often operates by keeping certain cultural categories apart and by managing what counts as serious. Pierre Bourdieu, in Distinction<\/em>, a book about the relationship between taste, class, and cultural hierarchy, writes, \u201cThe most intolerable thing for those who regard themselves as the possessors of legitimate culture is the sacrilegious reuniting of tastes which taste dictates shall be separated.\u201d<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":false,"settings":{"fit_width":"4","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

From the late eighteenth century onward, as literary and artistic taste became increasingly bound up with bourgeois ideals of refinement and distinction in the West, emotional restraint came to signify sophistication. Overt sentiment or intensity was relegated to the realm of the na\u00efve, the feminine, the working class, and the popular. Bourdieu describes cultivated taste through \u201cthe refusal of \u2018facile\u2019 involvement and \u2018vulgar\u2019 enjoyment\u201d: to be sophisticated slowly became synonymous with remaining composed, distant, unconsumed by feeling.<\/p>\n

Recently, similar anxieties around cultural legitimacy appear in the tendency to label and dismiss women-written fantasy or \u201cromantasy\u201d as \u201csmut\u201d while granting male-authored fiction far more serious and generous interpretive frames. In a 2026 essay for The Telegraph, Claire Allfree asks if \u201cfairy smut\u201d is dumbing down literature: \u201cThe genre is booming, but critics worry that its reliance on recycled tropes and feverish prose is cheapening popular culture\u201d. Critics rarely seem to be concerned for the fate and purity of literature, however, when it comes to fantasy written by men. Sarah J. Maas\u2019s A Court of Thorns and Roses<\/em> or Rebecca Yarros\u2019s Fourth Wing<\/em> can be reduced to \u201cfairy porn,\u201d while George R. R. Martin\u2019s A Song of Ice and Fire<\/em>, or Andrzej Sapkowski\u2019s The Witcher<\/em>, is often elevated and praised for world-building.<\/p>\n

The same elements that might get women\u2019s fantasy reduced to \u201cporn\u201d are far more readily accepted in male-authored fantasy. In a patriarchal context, taste hierarchies are both classed and gendered\u2014tainted by misogyny. The separation between highbrow and lowbrow culture is often made by inherited prejudices about whose pleasure and perspective count and who deserves to be taken seriously.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":130719,"id":130719,"title":"Kitchen TEXTTT 10","filename":"Kitchen-TEXTTT-10-e1786029052873.jpeg","filesize":63750,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Kitchen-TEXTTT-10-e1786029052873.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-girl-who-wanted-to-be-god-sylvia-plath-and-taylor-swift\/kitchen-texttt-10\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"Rosemary's Baby (1968).

The book How to Suppress Women’s Writing<\/em> by Joanna Russ, published in 1983, examines the systemic societal methods and sexist rationalizations used to marginalize or belittle women’s literature. On the cover of Russ\u2019s book, we read a series of dismissals rendered in large red italics, interrupted by smaller black parenthetical excuses: \u201cShe wrote it, but she shouldn\u2019t have. (It\u2019s political, sexual, masculine, feminist.) […] She wrote it, but she isn\u2019t really an artist, and it isn\u2019t really art. (It\u2019s a thriller, a romance, a children\u2019s book. It\u2019s sci-fi!) She wrote it BUT . . .\u201d Russ acknowledges that often, male scholars’ and writers’ criticism and puzzlement are honest and adequate, but sometimes “judgment of women’s experience is truly vicious.” She mentions a young professor she met in 1970 at a cocktail party who, upon hearing that she was teaching Jane Eyre, said, “What a lousy book! It’s just a lot of female erotic fantasies.” Russ writes: “as if female erotic fantasies were per se the lowest depth to which literature could sink.”<\/p>\n

If some men can\u2019t tolerate Jane Eyre<\/em>, if even the Bront\u00eb sisters are too much or too \u201csilly\u201d and melodramatic for them, imagine what Taylor Swift would inspire. And indeed, she does. Swift’s critics repeatedly attempt to portray her as unserious, labelling her as male-centered and immature. \u201cShe just writes songs about her ex-boyfriends\u201d. \u201cI think frankly that\u2019s a very sexist angle to take,\u201d Swift mentions in a 2014 interview with Glamour. She continues by observing that Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars also write about their love lives without provoking the same objection. Reviewing The Bell Jar<\/em> for The New Yorker in 1971, Howard Moss notes: \u201cSomething girlish in its manner betrays the hand of the amateur novelist.\u201d Harold Bloom, one of the most prominent and influential literary critics in the English-speaking world, dismissed Plath\u2019s poetry as “hysterical insanity.” As Jacqueline Rose notes, \u201cNo writer more than Plath has been more clearly hystericised by the worst of a male literary tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":130720,"id":130720,"title":"Taylor text 1","filename":"Taylor-text-1-e1786029086451.webp","filesize":96000,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Taylor-text-1-e1786029086451.webp","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-girl-who-wanted-to-be-god-sylvia-plath-and-taylor-swift\/taylor-text-1\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"Black Swan (2010).

Nelson writes, \u201cNot unlike Swift, whose songs often pay homage to a male beloved, Plath often imagines herself in thrall to\u2014and\/or crushed by\u2014a male beloved, father or god. It\u2019s easy to discount this trope as retrograde, as in some sense, it is. It\u2019s also a time-worn way for women to play with power\u2014the pleasure of having it, giving it up, being beside it, stealing it, and sometimes […] possessing and wielding it at an unprecedented scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think this trope of a woman under male power and the ways this power has contaminated her sexuality can be considered retrograde to begin with. To dismiss Swift’s and Plath’s engagement with male power as retrograde implies that they have the freedom and privilege to disengage with it. That it\u2019s somehow optional. But women do not have the luxury of remaining untouched by male power\u2014of having no need to speak of it, struggle with it, desire through it, or revolt against it. Patriarchy, unfortunately, is not an outdated theme that women can somehow aesthetically transcend, but rather a structure they are still forced to inhabit.<\/p>\n

In this sense, it seems absurd to me to regard a poem like Plath\u2019s Daddy<\/em>, for example, as regressive simply because it is about a powerful man. Her father, both literally and symbolically, is described and experienced by her as a god, which, in a way, he is. And that is precisely the point. He does objectively possess a frightening amount of power. \u201cI have always been scared of you, \/ With your Luftwaffe, your gobbledygoo.\u201d In psychoanalysis, especially in Freud and Lacan, the father is never just the private, biographical father. He carries a huge symbolic charge. The father is linked to authority, prohibition, rivalry, guilt, fear, and the law\u2014the function that introduces the child into language, social order, sexual difference, sanity, and legitimacy. Father is an extremely powerful figure in the personal and collective psyche because he stands in for the entire patriarchal symbolic order.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":130745,"id":130745,"title":"IMG_2475","filename":"IMG_2475.jpg","filesize":83451,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_2475.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-girl-who-wanted-to-be-god-sylvia-plath-and-taylor-swift\/img_2475\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"Game of Thrones (2011\u20132019).

But exactly because of this, the poem\u2019s revolt becomes all the more striking: \u201cDaddy, I have had to kill you.

Plath\u2019s ambition is just as striking. \u201cI will slave and slave until I break into those slicks,\u201d she writes. The term \u201cslicks\u201d emerged in the early twentieth century to describe large-circulation magazines printed on glossy, high-quality paper, such as The New Yorker, Vogue, or Mademoiselle. The title of Maggie Nelson\u2019s book comes from Sylvia Plath\u2019s own ambition to be published in mainstream magazines, not only in literary journals. Jacqueline Rose, in her biography of Sylvia Plath, mentions that Plath was “shameless in her desire to write for the market.” She did want serious literary recognition, but she also desired fame intensely: \u201cIt is sad only to be able to mouth other poets; I want someone to mouth me.\u201d \u201cPeople did come to mouth Plath,\u201d Nelson notes, \u201clikely more than she could have ever imagined. But the fame came, famously, with and after death.\u201d<\/p>\n

After all, why should Plath not have wanted to break into the slicks? Why shouldn’t she have desired to write for the market? Why shouldn’t she have dreamed of being famous? And why should that desire be seen as compromising rather than accompanying and complementing her seriousness as a writer? “Poetry and pop music share a link to the project of fame,” Nelson writes, “since antiquity, poetry has served as a privileged place from which to praise, memorialise and promote: in short, to make famous, and to grant a form of immortality, however fantasised. […] From Homer to Shakespeare to Tennyson: the poem as compensation for death, as vehicle for preserving legacy, as consolation prize for lost or impossible love, as salve for the anxiety”.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":130722,"id":130722,"title":"Portrait of a Lady on Fire Text 8","filename":"Portrait-of-a-Lady-on-Fire-Text-8.jpeg","filesize":118728,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Portrait-of-a-Lady-on-Fire-Text-8.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-girl-who-wanted-to-be-god-sylvia-plath-and-taylor-swift\/portrait-of-a-lady-on-fire-text-8\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019).

\u201cShe had conviction of her genius, a fierce desire to manifest it, and a drive for others to receive the transmission,\u201d writes Nelson. \u201cHer aspirations were colossal.\u201d In her Letters Home, Plath writes: “I want to be free. […] I think I would like to call myself ‘The girl who wanted to be God’.” What connects Plath and Swift most of all, I think, is the colossal aspirations\u2014the appetite\u2014the \u201ctoo muchness\u201d of it. “Plath\u2019s appetite for food was legendary; she once emptied a host\u2019s refrigerator before a dinner party, but she was equally hungry for experience. She was determined to live as fully as possible\u2014to write, to travel, to cook, to draw, to love as much and as often as she could,” writes Heather Clark. In Plath\u2019s autobiographical novel The Bell Jar<\/em>, Esther, the protagonist, is interviewed by the Ladies\u2019 Day magazine and asked what she wants to be: “I said I didn\u2019t know.” “Oh, sure you know,” the photographer said. \u201cShe wants,\u201d said Jay Cee wittily, \u201cto be everything.\u201d I said, “I wanted to be a poet.”<\/p>\n

To be a poet becomes equivalent to being everything: The only way, within the limitations of the world, to at least attempt to find a grand enough form or container for your own ambitions and desires. Something totalizing enough to hold. \u201cI can scarcely think of a group of people more inclined toward grandiosity than poets,\u201d Nelson writes, \u201cwith so little earthly reward, you need exceptionally strong drive and a measure of perversity to commit your life to the genre.\u201d<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":130746,"id":130746,"title":"IMG_2476","filename":"IMG_2476.jpg","filesize":72247,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_2476.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-girl-who-wanted-to-be-god-sylvia-plath-and-taylor-swift\/img_2476-2\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"The Witcher (2019\u2013present).

For Plath, the inherent limitedness of reality was sharpened simply by the fact of being a woman. Her biographer, Heather Clark, in Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath<\/em>, reminds us that Plath “lived in a shamelessly discriminatory age when it was almost impossible for a woman to get a mortgage, loan, or credit card; when newspapers divided their employment ads between men and women (\u201cAttractive Please!\u201d).” And yet, in a world that refused to do so, she took herself extremely seriously: “She published her first poem at age eight and later vowed to become ‘The Poetess of America’. In the years that followed, Plath pursued her literary vocation with a fierce, tireless determination”.<\/p>\n

Similarly, much can be said about Taylor Swift’s fierce, tireless determination. In a 2014 interview with Time, she recalls deciding around age 10 that Nashville was where she wanted to move because that\u2019s where the careers of her musical inspirations Faith Hill and Shania Twain began. She had been \u201crelentlessly nagging, begging, and pleading\u201d with her parents to take her there. At eleven, she went down Music Row handing demo CDs to record-label receptionists.<\/p>\n

But an appetite like this is not easily permitted or forgiven when it comes to women. The hungry woman is frightening because she exposes the lie at the core of acceptable femininity, the impossible standards of womanhood. Plath wanted to be \u201ceverything\u201d; Swift built a career out of refusing to become smaller after each public punishment: \u201cThey want you to rise; they don’t want you to reign,\u201d Swift writes in one of her recent songs. In a 2019 Vogue interview with Swift, Abby Aguirre notes that rereading years of Swift coverage shows \u201chow suspect her ambition is made to seem once she acquires real power.\u201d Swift herself says that when she was younger, men in the industry saw her as a harmless \u201coverexcited young girl,\u201d but as her success grew, the tone changed.<\/p>\n

At the same time, I am aware that today, as a billionaire, Taylor Swift is no longer merely an ambitious woman subjected to misogynistic punishment. In a 2024 Guardian essay on \u201cSwiftonomics,\u201d Dorian Lynskey describes her as both an “authentic singer-songwriter and unabashed hyper-capitalist.” And of course, no individual\u2019s possession of billions becomes emancipatory simply because that individual is a woman. Yet, I think, none of this cancels the misogyny directed at her, either. The scale of her success has made her simultaneously a target of cultural projections and an unusually powerful agent of capitalist and patriarchal Systems.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":130729,"id":130729,"title":"the substance 2024 text 11","filename":"the-substance-2024-text-11-e1786029144848.jpeg","filesize":74466,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/the-substance-2024-text-11-e1786029144848.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-girl-who-wanted-to-be-god-sylvia-plath-and-taylor-swift\/the-substance-2024-text-11\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"The Substance (2024).

Still, if we look beyond social status and material power, I think there remains a more archaic terror of female sexuality, of a desiring woman. It’s not accidental, perhaps, that in many horror movies, a hungry woman is an object of terror. In an essay for Electric Literature titled There\u2019s Nothing Scarier Than a Hungry Woman<\/em>, Laura Maw writes about women’s unconstrained appetites and notes, \u201cThere is something uncomfortable and enthralling about watching a woman devour what she likes with intent.\u201d Reflecting on a scene from Rosemary\u2019s Baby <\/em>(1968) in which Rosemary eagerly and greedily eats raw steak, Maw writes that, although she was a vegetarian at the time, she woke up the next day craving steak. Later, she realized that what enchanted and fascinated her was \u201cnot so much the desire to eat steak, but the desire to be allowed to desire.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her chapter from Feminine Psychology, titled The Dread of Women<\/em>, Karen Horney argues that the idealization of women can itself be a disguised form of fear. Male \u201cglorification of women,\u201d she suggests, does not arise only from admiration but also from the \u201cdesire to conceal\u201d dread. What appears as worship, the woman as almost untouchable, can therefore function as a defence against anxiety: \u201cThere is no need for me to dread a being so wonderful, so beautiful, nay, so saintly.\u201d But the opposite gesture, the \u201cdisparagement of women,\u201d serves the same purpose: if women can be made ridiculous, childish, weak, or inferior, then there is supposedly no reason to fear them. In Horney\u2019s reading, adoration and contempt are both strategies for managing the same underlying dread.<\/p>\n

So maybe the way out of this pattern, which is still perpetuated in culture today, is not to hold women in contempt or to worship them. Maybe the way out of it is to make a more radical yet simple gesture: to take women and their art seriously.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":130739,"id":130739,"title":"imgdownloader-12f23c88","filename":"imgdownloader-12f23c88-e1786029647820.jpeg","filesize":344168,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/imgdownloader-12f23c88-e1786029647820.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-girl-who-wanted-to-be-god-sylvia-plath-and-taylor-swift\/imgdownloader-12f23c88\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"The Life of a Showgirl (2025), Image Courtesy of Universal Music.
