The Last Great American Dynasty

Taylor Swift

Transposer:

Intro: Verse 1: Rebekah rode up on The afternoon train it was sunny Her saltbox house on the coast ? Ttook ?her mind off ? St. Louis Bill was the heir To ?the Standard Oil name and money And the town said "How did a middle-class divorcée do it?" The wedding was charming If a little gauche There’s only so far new money goes They picked out a home And called it "Holiday House" Their parties were tasteful If a little loud The doctor had told him to settle down It must have been her Fault his heart gave out And they said There goes the last great American dynasty Who knows if she never showed up What could’ve been There goes the maddest woman This town has ever seen She had a marvelous time Ruining everything Verse 2: Rebekah gave up on The Rhode Island set forever Flew in all her Bitch Pack Friends from the city Filled the pool with champagne And swam with the big names And blew through the money On the boys and the ballet And losing on card game bets with Dalí And they said There goes the last great American dynasty Who knows if she never showed up What could’ve been There goes the most shameless woman This town has ever seen She had a marvelous time ruining everything Bridge: They say she was seen on occasion Pacing the rocks staring Out at the midnight sea And in a feud with her neighbor She stole his dog and dyed It key lime green Fifty years is a long time Holiday House sat quietly on that beach Free of women with madness Their men and bad habits And then it was bought by me ( ) Who knows if I never showed up What could’ve been There goes the loudest woman This town has ever seen I had a marvelous time ruining everything I had a marvelous time Ruining everything A marvelous time Ruining everything A marvelous time I had a marvelous time

La chanson raconte l’histoire fascinante de Rebekah, une femme audacieuse qui a bouleversé les normes de son époque en ép épousant un héritier riche. Malgré son statut de divorcée de la classe moyenne, elle s'installe dans une grande maison au bord de la mer où elle organise des fêtes extravagantes, attirant l’attention et le mépris des habitants. À mesure qu'elle profite de la vie dans son "Holiday House", son comportement excentrique et provocateur fait d’elle une figure controversée, à la fois admirée et critiquée. Le contexte met en lumière la lutte entre l'ancienne et la nouvelle richesse, ainsi que les préjugés sociaux et les attentes de genre. Les événements de sa vie illustrent une époque où les femmes commençaient à revendiquer davantage de liberté, et la chanson explore les conséquences de cela, révélant comment sa présence a modifié le paysage de la ville et des relations interpersonnelles.
