Fans thought that the feud between Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun was over, but it does not seem like it was. Her latest album Folklore released recently and in this album, there is a song titled Mad Woman that has got the eyes of her fans. In this song, she has used her newfound political voice to speak about one of the major injustices that women are facing right now. In this song, she expressed how women (especially celebrities) are constantly ridiculed by men, society, and other women. In the song, she expresses that words like "emotional" and "crazy" are used to mark women and how society expects women to just take whatever is thrown at them.

Here is how the song lyries go and how fans think the song means 

What did you think I'd say to that?
Does a scorpion sting when fighting back?
They strike to kill, and you know I will
You know I will
What do you sing on your drive home?
Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?
Does she smile?
Or does she mouth, "fuck you forever"?

Right at the start of the song, Taylor Swift seems to be taking shots at Scooter. In the first few lines of the song, she refers to her battle with Scooter. Taylor Swift questions him and asks him what does he have to do just be quiet, says it is not going to happen and will fight for what is right.

Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy
What about that?
And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry

And there's nothing like a mad woman

What a shame she went mad

No one likes a mad woman

You made her like that
And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out
And you find something to wrap your noose around
And there's nothing like a mad woman

After this, Taylor Swift summarizes the problems that women often go through. She does this by using the word 'crazy' which was a reaction to the man in question. The chorus then takes a deeper look into the idea of women and how they fight through insults and injury.

Now I breathe flames each time I talk
My cannons all firin' at your yacht
They say, "Move on" but you know I won't
And women like hunting witches too
Doing your dirtiest work for you
It's obvious that wanting me dead
Has really brought you two together

In this next part of the song, fans think she seems to be referencing to Scooter's wife Yael Cohen for doing his dirty work for him. Fans think that these lines are in response to Yael's Instagram post on Taylor. She then also says on how this move of her brought them together both Scooter and Yael and fans also think that it applies to Justin Bieber and Kanye West who have both taken part in the feud.

Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy
What about that?
And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry

And there's nothing like a mad woman
What a shame she went mad
No one likes a mad woman
You made her like that
And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out
And you find something to wrap your noose around
And there's nothing like a mad woman

I'm taking my time, taking my time
'Cause you took everything from me
Watching you climb, watching you climb
Over people like me
The master of spin has a couple side flings
Good wives always know
She should be mad, should be scathing like me, but

In this next part of the song, it seems like Taylor is accusing Scooter of having side flings during his marriage. She also throws shade at him yy saying that his ability to spin a situation in his favour is next to impossible. She ends the song by saying that people are responsible for the things that are happening.  

No one likes a mad woman
What a shame she went mad
You made her like that
