Need to get your mind off the cesspool that is the election cycle? Well, keep walkin' bud, cause tonight we're covering Taylor's rocky relationship with Donald Trump, her endorsement of Kamala Harris, and all that is celebrity endorsements of political candidates in general!

I know, I know. I'm as sick of the "It's been awhile" nonsense as however many of you there are left are. But we did get together and record a behemoth of an episode covering Taylor Swift's new (at least it was at the time) album some months ago, before I lost my laptop in a mountain of unpacked moving boxes. Thankfully, the file was intact (unless you count the cicadas that slowly but reach a fever pitch as we near the end of the pod). But yeah! Tortured Poets Department! We covered it! You should listen!

The Swifties are back at the picnic table after an unwelcome hiatus to catch up on all things Taylor Swift, including all things Travis Kelce, the right wing's obsession with her political affiliation, and finally give our hot (or room temperature, at this point) takes on thse 1989 vault tracks. We're not dead!

It's the end of 2020, so it's time for Taylor to put on her ceremonial robes and join in on the occult ritual out in the woods that banishes Covid 19 for good. That's right, it's Evermore! We've been hearing it from Jenn since we started this project; that ceaseless mantra, "wAiT TiLl YoU hEaR eVeRmOrE!" So now that we've heard it, does it land like an atom bomb like a Reputation? Or does it creep up your legs and take hold like ivy? Join us to hear our thoughts. That is, if you can tolerate us.

Before we dive into Evermore, we need to catch up on the latest T-flavored tea! This time Taylor's dating.. *record scratch* a football player?!?! Also the movie of her concert tour is out, so we're gonna talk about it.

It's 2020 and Covid is here, so Taylor's packing up her studio to go into lockdown! So when you've finished streaming Tiger King and given Blathers all the bugs you can for the museum in Animal Crossing for the day, what do you do except write a subdued gem unlike anything else in your catalog thus far? Hope you like Swedish cuisine, cause we might have Bon Iver pop in at some point this evening!

Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark? Well hopefully you stayed blind through this atrocious garbage fire of a film that Andrew Lloyd Webber found so egregious that he went out and bought a dog. Taylor Swift's got a cameo in this thing and it's.. kinda good, all things considered? So we're gonna talk about it. and there's no doin' anything aboooouuu-hoowowoo-wout it!

Tim and Alyssa went to some concerts. One was Metallica and one was Taylor Swift. Not a whole lot more you need to know. It's been so long that if you've made it this far, you're starving for content. Taylor Swift would never leave her fans hanging like this podcast has. I'll go wallow in my shame now. Stay tuned for part 2. Relasing simultaneously. It's a DOUBLE DROP

It's summertime and love is in the air, so we're covering T Swift's 2019 album, Lover! This is going to be her first record after leaving the accursed Big Machine Records *spits* Not gonna lie folks; this one was a little bit of a snoozer comin' hot off the heels of Rep, but there's some tasty nugs here. And it's Alyssa's falling in love album! Awwwww! Listen to the end for the surprise reveal of what we'll be covering next, much to Jenn's dismay.

We did something bad! But are we not sinners, all? Let's throw that vanilla ice cream in the gravel and take a big lick, cause this time Taylor's decided to be the bad guy! That's right Swifties, the kid gloves are off and our pristine queen has donned some brass knuckles to give a big ol' Fuck You to the haters. Join us for Taylor Swift's journey to the dark side. As far as we can tell, the water's just fine!
