In December 2020, we shared with you an article from Rolling Stone magazine in which Taylor Swift was in conversation with Paul McCartney.  She spoke of how the books she reads and the words authors use inspire the songs she writes.  She told Paul McCartney that one of her influences is Daphne du Maurier.

We have now discovered a great little piece on Tik Tok from the interview in which Taylor talks specifically about Daphne du Maurier and how Rebecca influenced her writing of the song Tolerate It.

We love that so many people of all ages are inspired by Daphne.  She means so much to such a wide demographic.
