On the weekends, we don't podcast for friends, we podcast for revenge.....or something like that!

To kick things off, we share some upcoming changes coming to our podcast. Thank you Swiggies for always supporting us no matter what!!! Then, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to congratulate Taylor on being innaugurated into the Songwriters Hall of Fame! We shared our thoughts on the songs selected and which songs we would have swapped out if we were here. We'd love to hear your guys' opinions on that too!

Vigilante Shit is an interesting song to break down. Parts of it feels like Taylor slipping into her fictional story telling, while other parts of it feel pointed and directed at a specific person. Either way, this song is sexy, alluring, and chock full of tea!

We were joined this week by a loyal listener and a true Swiftie from day one: Chelsea Dexter! Chelsea shares with us her Swiftie back story and all the Taylor Swift concerts she's attended (Fearless AND Reputation AND Eras Tour? JEALOUS!!). She even gets to boast that she won Taylor Swift Trivia at her local pub! Needelss to say, Chelsea brings so much to our conversation this week about a song that she absolutely loves.

The Lake District and the poets it inspired is the perfect setting for the closing track off the folklore album. Oh but wait, it's not technically the closing track, is it? We certainly have some thoughts about that. One thing that really got us about this song was whether or not Taylor is feeling sad and melancholic, or if she was actually extending a romantic gesture towards one London Boy. Chelsea's takes on the "name dropping sleaze" Taylor sings about is particularly curious, especially when taking in consideration Taylor's performance of this song during the Long Pond Studio Sessions. There's just so much to unpack with this song and we had such a great time tackling it with Chelsea!

This song is so good! And it's a perfect transition from last week's "A Place in this World" episode. Of course, we must discuss some Taylor tea, and Rachel has a couple books she wants to talk about. Which just brings us to sharing our new year resolution for this podcast. Anyone interested in a cocktail book? The discussion begins over why New Romantics was chosen as a deluxe track instead of being placed on the standard version. But is it really that deep?

We’re back with season 4!!! And the episode starts with probably the longest chitty chat ever. There was loads to talk about with our obsession over the Stranger Things finale and all our “predicky-dicks” for Taylor Swift’s 2026. Maybe she’ll release a single? Perhaps be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame? Is the wedding imminent?! Reputation Vault Tracks? Our eyes and ears are always tuned in but we can’t help but feel at ease during a quiet time in the Swiftie world such as this. The song this week showcases the most baby Taylor and the innocence she felt at the young age of 13 when she wrote this song. Rachel is partaking in Dry January, and Sam didn’t feel comfortable making an alcoholic drink for this adolescent song. So mocktails it is! But why did Taylor choose this song to perform on her very last night of the Eras Tour? Tune in to find out!

Tears and cheers for The End of An Era, Taylor Swift's 6-episode docuseries! It's Christmas and the three year anniversary of this podcast, and as is tradition, we find themselves in the exact place where it all started: the back bedroom of their parents' Wisconsin home on December 23rd. We've watched all six episodes of the new docuseries, and we are here to end Season 3 of this podcast with our thoughts on the entire series. We loved it and are totally satisfied. Though some questions remain unanswered, new answers were provided from questions we didn't even know we had! Ultimately, we are continuously in awe by the life of our favorite showgirl, Taylor Swift.

Rachel's Xmas Sweatshirt and our Spotify Wrapped lead off this episode. We are so excited to be able to share with you how our podcast has grown this year, and which artists we were streaming the most! Hint: Rachel got a puppy this year. :) When it comes time to breaking down the 8th track (and Sam's favorite!) off The Life of a Showgirl, we can't seem to agree on whether or not Taylor is critiquing others in this song or not. But one thing we can agree on is that Taylor wants to be left the f**k alone. We think she should have what she wants, she deserves what she wants, and she should get what she wants!

The Eras Tour Docuseries is finally here! We are so excited to watch this series and learn how the Eras Tour all came together, so we put together some theories about what we think each of the six episodes will tackle. There's just simply too much to tackle and we are SO grateful that we get six whole episodes to see it!!!

We're back with another attempt at making Taylor's songs fit into the theme of Christmas! "I Look in People's Windows" is a very intriguing track off The Tortured Poets Department, and one that we both find so beautiful and curious. It's also the shortest song in Taylor's entire discography and doesn't ever include a bridge. But, Rachel ponders, perhaps the whole song itself is a bridge for the album as a whole.

We are so delighted to have our favorite Swiftie aunt join us for her THIRD appearance on our podcast! A couple years ago, Aunt Trish revealed to us during our Taylor Swift song draft (see episode 053) that she has always loved the song Midnight Rain. Curious, we wanted to know more! And because this song mentions the holidays and peppermint, we figured it would be the perfect time as we are getting into the holiday season. Trish shares why she loves this song, and together the three of us discuss all the ruminating that Taylor was doing when she wrote it. There's some talk about who this song could be about, but like a lot of songs off Midnights, we learn that it's not that simple. Does Taylor drift off to sleep at the end of this song, or does she simply resign to the fact that she's not happy and wishes she could go back to a simpler time that comes to her like a postcard?

WOW OKAYYYY!!! It’s finally time we tackle SAM’S FAVORITE SONG! Or at least, ONE OF his favorite songs. A long-time favorite and an underrated deep cut from the Reputation album, this song shows the complexity of Taylor’s 2016/2017 relationship and how it must have felt falling in love in the eyes of scrutinizing media. The beats in this one hit hard, and the cocktails flow smoothly. We hope you enjoy this one, y’all!
