The Feisty Heroine

Feisty Fridays: Taylor Swift’s Engagement and the Myth of the Fairytale Ending


Listen Later

The headlines called it her fairytale ending — but what does Taylor Swift’s engagement really say about how we view women’s worth?

In this Feisty Friday mini-sode of The Feisty Heroine Podcast, Rachel unpacks why society still treats engagement as the ultimate achievement for women, even for someone as wildly successful as Taylor.

✨ You’ll hear:

  • How the media frames powerful women as “complete” only when partnered.

  • The double bind successful women face in dating and relationships.

  • Why this narrative keeps so many of us stuck chasing someone else’s timeline.

  • A feisty reframe for celebrating women without reducing them to their love lives.

This isn’t about tearing down Taylor’s joy — it’s about questioning why her love story is treated as the pinnacle of her success, and what that means for the rest of us.

💡 Whether you’re single, divorced, childfree, a single mom, or partnered, this is your reminder: you are already enough.
