Taylor Swift‘s nod to Clara Bow on her new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department‘ has brought joy to Bow’s family, who are thrilled by the pop star’s tribute to the silent film icon.
Clara Bow, the iconic “It Girl” of the silent film era, passed away on September 27, 1965, leaving behind a legacy that has now been revived by pop sensation Taylor Swift’s tribute on her upcoming album. Bow’s great-granddaughter has been enthusiastically sharing her delight in seeing her ancestor’s memory honored in this way.
The title of one of the tracks on Taylor Swift’s forthcoming album, “Clara Bow“, is a direct and unambiguous tribute to the legendary actress, paying homage to her enduring legacy and impact on popular culture.
Brittany Grace Bell, the great-granddaughter of Clara Bow, shared her excitement and gratitude with social media about Taylor Swift’s decision to name a song after her ancestor, highlighting the enduring impact of Bow’s legacy on contemporary culture.
According to social media, Swift’s team did not reach out to the family before naming the track after Clara Bow, but the family is now open to connecting with Swift to understand the inspiration behind the tribute and to share their appreciation for the nod to their ancestor’s legacy.
Bell believes that Swift chose to pay homage to Bow because she sees parallels between their lives, with Bow being the original “It Girl” and Swift being a contemporary embodiment of that same spirit and appeal, making their connection a nod to shared qualities and a timeless essence.
It’s interesting to note that during the recent Grammys, Swift wore a necklace that bore a striking resemblance to one worn by Bow in the past, leading many to speculate that Swift’s entire outfit may have been inspired by Bow’s style, adding further evidence to the notion that Swift’s tribute to Bow was a deliberate and thoughtful nod to the actress’ enduring influence on fashion and pop culture.
According to Bell, Clara Bow would be absolutely thrilled to receive this nod from Taylor Swift, feeling honored and delighted that her legacy and spirit continue to inspire and resonate with new generations, including a pop culture icon like Swift.
