This week we decided to explore two of Taylor's songs about mental illness: This Is Me Trying and The Archer.

Light content warning for discussions of mental illness and addiction.

This week we covered two songs that we love that have to do with driving (and crashing): Getaway Car and Out of the Woods.

It’s our twenty-second episode, so of course we had to do some Swiftie math and cover 22 and Fifteen. This was a fun episode as we dove into what we were like at 15 and 22 and also discovered how horrifying owls are without feathers. Enjoy!

This week we wanted to talk all things Tortured Poets Department before we actually know anything about the album! Enjoy our guesses about what might be on the album. We can’t wait to find out what we’re right and wrong about!

In honor of Taylor Lautner’s birthday, we decided to cover two songs that have to do with him: Back to December and I Can See You. We love an unproblematic ex!

We are so excited to have musician Sarah Gross on the podcast this week! She has been described as “queer cowboy Taylor Swift” and has written some incredible songs (our favs are Deep End and Arizona). We talked with her about how Taylor has impacted the music industry from her unique songwriting to her ability to connect with fans to her re-recordings.

Welcome to the new podcast set! In honor of Cat’s move, we decided to do two songs about moving: Never Grow Up and Welcome to New York. We get a little weepy this week and even manage to make WTNY emo (we know, we were surprised too).

For the final episode recorded on our first podcast set, we decided to work on emptying Cat’s liquor cabinet to make it easier for her to move next week 🫶🏻 To make the drinking on theme and not just a fun Saturday night, we chose two Taylor songs that mention drinking: Nothing New and Maroon.

No one asked us to die on these hills, but honestly the view is great so why not choose here to die: It’s Nice to have a Friend and Midnight Rain.

Engineers WISH they could construct bridges as iconic and flawless as the ones in these songs: Cruel Summer and Death by a Thousand Cuts. Diving into these songs made us realize they're even more amazing that we originally thought if that was even possible. Also, please excuse our audio problems in the ten minutes or so of the episode, we had a recording issue!
