When reading and analyzing Owner of a Lonely Heart, it introduced me to a unique perspective on the apparent hectic life celebrities like Taylor Swift have to live in everyday. To me, Chuck Klosterman made me feel that I knew Taylor Swift personally; instead of acknowledging her as just a celebrity within the life of fame, I acknowledged her as a normal person within everyday society. This feeling has a lot to do with how Klosterman wrote this article. His narrative esque style contributes many details, both major and minor, to fully encapture the setting and events of the interview Klosterman conducted to Taylor Swift. This detailed analysis allowed me to understand a piece of Taylor Swift’s life in fame, and how she deals with various tasks that are caused by being a popular music star.
What was also interesting when reading this article was how Klosterman intertwines Taylor Swift’s celebrity life to her personal life. He delves into the topic of loneliness, where he notes that Taylor Swift mentioning her friendships so often presents her feelings of solitude. The deeper analysis by Klosterman on the emotional aspect of Taylor’s personal life only comments on the duality of her life, and although her music and her life is combined, they are also very much separated.
