Almost one year ago Taylor Swift released The Tortured Poets Department, an incredibly stifling, chaotic and vulnerable album. It led to an entire new era, massive changes to the Eras Tour and a total of 31 amazing new songs that explored the intense scrutiny, anger, fear, anxiety and heartbreak Taylor had experienced. A year later we’re going to be revisiting Taylor’s 11th studio album and discussing how it has cemented its place in her discography.

In this third instalment of our monthly celebration of Taylor Swift’s eleven studio albums we explore Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) track by track, discussing curious, niche, or simply fun facts for all of the standard, deluxe and vault tracks.

For Taylor Swift’s first seven albums, lead singles were pivotal in the promotion and hype leading up to the project’s release, and while her most recent bodies of work haven’t had pre-album single releases, they have all had a prominent main track used to introduce and encapsulate the mood of the entire album. But what if she hadn’t chosen those particular tracks? Which other songs could correctly entice listeners into checking out the entire album? 

As vinyl variant collecting has gotten more and more popular over the years, and the medium has slowly but surely been revived, artists have taken advantage of the fact by releasing interesting and limited versions of their albums and singles. Taylor Swift is of course no exception, from her original record store day releases, to her target exclusive red variants, and now her many colourful editions, vinyl has become a staple in many fans' collections. Today we are going to be exploring Taylor’s vinyl catalogue, from her standard editions to the rare gems.

Welcome back to the second episode of our monthly celebration of Taylor Swift’s studio albums. This month we’ll be speaking about her sophomore album, Fearless, revisiting every song from the original album, the platinum edition and the vault tracks included on Taylor’s Version. To do so we’ll be discussing interesting, curious, niche, or just fun facts for each and every track. 

Over the years Taylor Swift has curated a number of personalised playlists, either to promote other artists or simply as a way to share her favourite music at the time. But only a very short list of songs have been given a special sort of recognition by Taylor. This select group of tracks were directly called out by Taylor in her lyrics. Today we’re going to be listing all of them and revealing some interesting reactions some of the artists had to being sung about by Taylor!

Welcome to a new series in which each month on or around the 13th we’ll be celebrating one of Taylor Swift’s eleven studio albums. To do so we’ll be diving back into each album by revisiting every song and exploring some interesting, curious, niche, or simply just fun facts. In this first episode we’re going to be travelling back in time almost 20 years to celebrate Taylor’s very first album - lovingly referred to as debut.

We have finally come to the end of one of the most exciting and triumphant years for Taylor Swift. From historic award wins, to the end of the Eras Tour and even the release of a record breaking album in the midst of it all, 2024 has been an incredible year for her. As for us as fans, we were lucky enough to experience the tour first hand and enjoy all of the content released over the last twelve months. But how did this year turn out in comparison to our predictions? And what were your favourite moments? We’ll be finding out as we take a look back at our bingo card we made in January of this year as well as announcing the winners of our annual award show!

When it comes to Taylor Swift using swear words in her music, the amount of profanity she has used over time has slowly but surely grown. So much so that on one single song on The Tortured Poets Department she curses more than she had over the course of her previous 10 studio albums. For a lyricist such as Taylor, the choice of these words are very deliberate, which makes the need to produce clean versions of the same tracks very interesting as she purposefully must select words to convey a similar meaning. While this is the case for some songs, other times the alternate versions showcase extremely interesting choices that reveal a new side to the song.

To celebrate Taylor Swift’s recent Grammy nominations, this week we look into the Best New Artist Grammy curse, establishing the history behind it, deciphering the logical reasons many of these acts may have suffered, and speaking about some specific cases over the years. We’ll of course be going over Taylor’s nomination from back in the day, discussing famous cases, and finally briefly going over next year's (2025) nominees which include artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Benson Boone and RAYE among others.
