  • Episode 6 ā€“ an ode to taylor swift pt 2

    Loveā€™s a game, want to play? Weā€™re doing good, weā€™re on some new shi*t. And the road not taken looks real good now. ā€˜Cause karma is our boyfriend.

    We couldnā€™t keep it to just one epi, so our love and exploration of all things SWIFT continue this week. We cover:

    • love for a Monday night drink and never wasting an outfit
    • how Meag almost got stuck in a couples costume on her own
    • the songs that speak to us from Red, 1989, Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore and Midnights
    • proof Cole has been a Swiftie for at least a decade
    • good lyricism vs bad lyricism, and why it shouldnā€™t matter
    • how our fave albums were there when we each needed them
    • a moment of silence for All Too Well (the 10-minute version, obviously)
    • the song Cole canā€™t listen to on Lover without getting emotional
    • why non-Swifties should hear other artists cover her songs, or read her lyrics before they judge
    • why Folklore and Evermore are sisters (and we love them)
    • Meagā€™s deep love for Bon Iver
    • whether we each believe in fate and meant to be

    • episode 5 - an ode to taylor swift pt 1

      It's us, we're the problem. Are you ready for it? Cuz it's delicate.

      Ok ok we'll stop. This episode is all about Taylor Swift. Obviously. But we wax lyrical on:

      • why Tinx is now our best friend (!!!!!)
      • how Meagan became a cat person through actual trauma
      • why Meagan used to be embarrassed to be a Taylor swift fan
      • the fact that Taylor is a try-hard and a little bit cringe and why weā€™re here for it
      • our favourite albums and why (hint: it isnā€™t Folklore, Evermore, or Speak Now)
      • what it means to be a Swiftie in your 30s (can you be a Swiftie in your 30s?)
      • the T Swift lyrics that make us swoon
      • the most nostalgic of Taylorā€™s lyrics (ie. What ā€œNew Yearā€™s Dayā€ and ā€œAll too wellā€ have in common)
      • Coleā€™s diligent note taking and Meag's lack thereof
      • the main songs that have gotten us through heartache
      • the way Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift give us the same vibes (ā€˜drivers licenseā€™ and ā€˜our songā€™ anyone?)
