In an interview with People published Wednesday (Oct. 22), Christopher Wilding - the second son of Taylor and her second husband, Michael Wilding - said that the pop star's detailed references to his mom's legacy on the song were "especially magical."

Wilding, who was born to Taylor and her second husband, Michael Wilding, told People that the references Swift made to his late mother in the song are "especially magical," and it sounds like he thinks that if the two had been able to meet, they would have gotten along.

Feelings of persecution have long driven Swift’s most powerful songwriting. But even as fans and critics dinged her latest album, her numbers continue to explode.
