Clara Bow’s Family Share Their Thoughts on Taylor Swift’s Song Named for the Star: ‘Hauntingly Beautiful’ (Exclusive)

Bow’s great-granddaughters tell PEOPLE exclusively the song ‘poetically draws parallels between Clara Bow and Taylor

Following the release of The Tortured Poets Department on April 19, in which Swift sings about past heartbreak, media scrutiny and an overall intense period of her life, PEOPLE spoke exclusively with Bow’s great-granddaughters, Nicole Sisneros and Brittany Grace Bell (who are the granddaughters of Bow’s son Rex Bell Jr.) about the closing track.

Upon first listen, Sisneros explains that she instantly had “chills,” noting that the track “poetically draws parallels between Clara Bow and Taylor.”

“Both raw and amazingly talented artists,” Sisneros said, referencing the two “It” girls. “My family and I love the song and are thankful for Taylor connecting with Clara’s legacy through her songwriting.”
