JUST IN: Frances Osborne REBUKE Taylor Swift on her new song ‘The Bolter’ AGAINST Lady Idina Sackville….

Swift has never confirmed if “The Bolter” is directly based on Sackville. TODAY.com reached out to Swift for comment.
However, Osborne sees connections between the song’s lyrics and her great-grandmother’s biography of the same name. Swift’s lyrics describe a woman in a romance and the relief she feels from leaving them. “As she was leaving / it felt like breathing,” she sings.

Osborne believes these lyrics to be about a woman in a “perpetual relationship loop of promising beginnings and bad endings,” a path her great-grandmother was familiar with. With this song, Osborne believes Swift is “showing an empowered woman, flirting with and seducing men on her own terms.” She sees her great-grandmother reflected in the words:.

“Idina was said to be able to ‘whistle a chap off a branch.’ And this was not because she was born beautiful, she did this using her character and intelligence.” Swift seems to be criticizing the double standards applied to women who leave relationships compared to men who do the same. “Men are expected to love and leave, so why shouldn’t a woman? This is what Idina did,” Osborne says

Osborne appreciates the message of “The Bolter,” no matter who it’s about. “Swift’s message resonates with both people working out how to structure the lives ahead of them, and with an older generation who wish they had had Swift around at 25, and are determined that the women coming up behind them aren’t going to have to make the same mistakes,” Osborne shares.

“The unstoppability of Swift is an important message in itself,” Osborne continues. “From left, right and center, in front and behind, people have tried to stop her. Each time, she has managed to demonstrate life’s greatest lesson: That bad stuff happens, what matters is how you pick yourself up and get going again.”
