SONGS:

- HEY STEPHEN

- WHITE HORSE 

DEEP DIVE TOPIC:

A hug from Taylor Swift.

QUESTION:

A lyric in HEY STEPHEN asks, "But would they write a song for you?" The subjects of Taylor's songs have reacted a lot of different ways -- would YOU write a song for the object of your affection, not knowing what they might think/say?

SONGS:

On this episode we start the album FEARLESS. 

- FEARLESS

- FIFTEEN

DEEP DIVE TOPIC:

Deeper discussion/debate of the song FIFTEEN, and the slut-shaming and virginity myth accusations that have been levied at the song.

QUESTION:

FIFTEEN, then 22 – Taylor Swift has famously done two songs about age – and referenced specific ages in multiple other songs. What age do you want her to sing about next? Why? What would be the spirit/tone of the song?

SONGS FROM THE BEAUTIFUL EYES EP:

BEAUTIFUL EYES

I HEART ? 

UNRELEASED SONGS:

DARK BLUE TENNESSEE

DEEP DIVE TOPIC:

The music Taylor released between albums/her musical collabs.

QUESTION:

The BEAUTIFUL EYES EP was a bridge to FEARLESS. SWEETER THAN FICTION previewed 1989. THE HUNGER GAMES soundtrack came out between SPEAK NOW and RED. THIS IS WHAT YOU CAME FOR might have been a preview of what was to come next had she remained with Calvin Harris. Which "bridge" (her in-between-albums-music) do you wish she incorporated more into her albums?

SONGS:

- MARY'S SONG

- OUR SONG

- I'D LIE 

DEEP DIVE TOPIC:

We track the theme of "crushes" and how Taylor feels about them throughout the evolution of her music.

QUESTION:

This week we have two songs that have "song" in the title... one is about the love story of another couple and one is about Taylor coming up with her own relationship's song. For the question/challenge of the week, we each choose a non-Taylor Swift song and choose a Taylor Swift relationship and "dedicate" that song to the relationship. 

NOTES:

SONGS FROM OUR QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

The Killers "A Dustland Fairytale"

Ingrid Michaelson "Girls Chase Boys"

Wicked (the musical) "For Good"

Kate Nash "Nicest Thing"

Etta James "At Last"

SONGS:

- COLD AS YOU

- THE OUTSIDE

- TIED TOGETHER WITH A SMILE

- STAY BEAUTIFUL

- SHOULD'VE SAID NO 

DEEP DIVE TOPIC:

Taylor's Myspace.

QUESTION:

Everyone knows Taylor’s hit Love Story, which mashes up elements of Romeo & Juliet and The Scarlet Letter. BUT – her first literary reference actually comes on her debut album, Taylor Swift, in the song The Outside, when she sings “I tried to take the road less traveled by,” referencing Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken. So… which literary work do you want Taylor Swift to reference next?
