This week, we discuss two songs about contemplating second chances: I Almost Do + This Love! What are your thoughts on this topic? We'd love to know! #cephalopod

This week, we dive into two songs about a woman seducing and/or destroying men: imgonnagetyouback + Blank Space! Taylor clearly had a lot of fun writing these, and we have just as much fun breaking them down. The characters may be toxic, but ... a bop's a bop!

This week, we report from a lakeside cottage for a writer's retreat, so naturally we chose songs with themes of nature and escapism: the lakes + I Hate It Here! And, for the first time, Shakespeare joins us on the couch. Tune in to hear us talk about our unplugged weekend away as well as our thoughts on maladaptive daydreaming and Romanticism in literature. Enjoy!

Wow, we've reached the end of the year! This week, we talk about two songs that sum up our 2024s: Dear Reader (Cat) + long story short (Abby). It has been a JOURNEY, folks, and some of you have been with us the whole way! Thank you for being here 🫶 Feel free to share in the comments what song summed up YOUR year.

We're back and continuing our title track series with Red + Lover! In this episode we talk all about love, in every shade.

We're back on the deep-dive grind this week with the track fives from Debut and Reputation: Cold As You and Delicate! We talk about how much we love our animals, mourn TikTok being shut down RIGHT when Abby got back online, and discuss how this is the last episode before The Eras Tour is officially over. There's a lot of meandering, but what else is new?

We're back!!!! Wow. Can you believe it's been a month? We can't! In this episode, Cat and Abby discuss their time off. This includes their thoughts on Wicked, their trip to New York City to see Orla Gartland (featuring a special surprise guest), and how we feel about the Eras Tour coming to a close. We also open some fan mail, give a fundraiser update, and tell some random stories. But the bottom line is, we encourage all of you listening to take care of yourselves. We love you!

This week, we cover two songs that have spooky vibes: Down Bad + Haunted! In this episode, we discuss how there is nothing scarier than a breakup. Also, Speare makes an appearance, and Abby breaks her PG-13 rule. Enjoy!

CONGRATULATIONS TO CAT FOR THE RELEASE OF "DAISY, PLUCKED!"

This week, we cover two songs reminiscent of her book: Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus (which we lovingly dub "Chloe et al.") + Right Where You Left Me! These two songs are devastating heavy hitters, but we manage to throw in a few bits to cope with the pain. Enjoy!

Remember when you were in high school having cute little romantic adventures with the quarterback and doing questionable things while your friends played Grand Theft Auto? Yeah, us neither. But this week, we live vicariously through Taylor as we cover two songs presumably about Travis off of The Tortured Poets Department: So High School + The Alchemy! In the meantime, we discuss the importance of blocking, and Cat also talks more about how much she hates ET.
