While pondering the symbolism of the golden boots discussed in my previous blog post, I was reminded of the Taylor Swift song "Innocent". In this song, Swift tells the audience that they are still innocent despite their prior transgressions by saying, "Who you are is not where you've been. You're still an innocent.". This coincides with Billy Pilgrim's desire for innocence and purity in his life. Although Pilgrim has seen the gruesome tragedies that encompass war, he still longs for purity. Taylor Swift musicalizes this desire present in every human.
