This week, in preparation for the release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version), Kate deep dives the making of 1989. Since Kate wasn’t podcasting in 2014, she never got to do a proper review of one of her favorite TS albums, so she’s taking this opportunity to talk through the timeline of how/when it was written, her favorite songs/lyrics, and revisiting some of the voice notes and live performances. Unsurprisingly, she ends up mostly talking too much about Out of the Woods and New Romantics, but hopefully, when she goes crashing down, she comes back every time. Enjoy!

A special edition broadcast where Kate shares her celebratory (but also complicated) feelings about the contentpalooza this past week involving Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s rumored romance, along with her mixed feelings about how pop culture news and social media suddenly seem all too NFL.

This week, Kate welcomes back Sami Sage (co-founder of Betches) to the podcast to discuss a real grab bag of topics related to current and past pop culture events. They discuss lessons learned from a rewatch of early Southern Charm seasons, the shift in cultural conversation about age gaps, millennials dating to marry versus dating to date, Taylor Swift’s recent pap walks, RHONY’s new cast, the Tiktok phenomenon of “Tube girl” and the trend about the “female Roman Empire,” among other topics. Spoiler alert: they spend the last half hour or so discussing the Roy Man Empire (if you will) since Kate just watched Succession during mat leave and needs Sami’s thoughts about the show and the Roy family, and eventually, they close with a few thoughts about TS’s newly released vault track titles. Enjoy!

This week, Kate starts with some classic BTIF tangents, namely the 8 Passengers/Ruby Franke/Jodi Hildebrandt arrests and their “mental health” organization/cult, then interviews two podcast listeners about topics of their choice. First, Shea opens up about her experience getting back an NPE (not parent expected) result from an Ancestry DNA kit and her search for the truth of her identity ever since. Then, she talks with Emily to dissect the 2000s “Twee” aesthetic in all its ModCloth manic-pixie glory. Enjoy!
