The time has come for the final installment of the Eras Tour Post Mortem miniseries. We know, we’re sad too. But it has been four months since Taylor left the Eras stage for the final time, which has given us ample opportunity to analyze what were the highest highs and the lowest lows of the 21-month-long tour! After calling out on Instagram and scouring the web, we learned what Swifties from all over the world took away from the tour, both positive and not-so-positive. Join us as we close this chapter and reminisce on the past so we can turn our focus to the future!

Two words: Lead. Singles. But what is a lead single, you may ask? It’s typically a carefully selected track from an upcoming album designed to both lend itself to potential commercial success AND give you a taste of what’s to come from an artist. Taylor Swift has 11 albums, thus she has 11 lead singles to chat about! Some were released in advance of an album, some were released alongside an album. Some were acclaimed and beloved, some were criticized and ridiculed. In today’s episode, Dani & Olivia go through each lead single and rate it as a song, success as a lead single, and they even make their own suggestions for the lead singles that could’ve been.

In 2006, Taylor released her debut album. On that album, she gave us “Tied Together with a Smile”, a sincere and heartbreaking song about a girl who struggles to hide her pain behind a fake smile. Today, your hosts dissect this track in our very first song analysis from Debut! Taylor has given us a lot of insight into this tragic tune, so tune in as we break it all down in this installment of the ‘Mental Cages’ miniseries.

Taylor once admitted to being lost in the labyrinth of her mind- but what exactly does that mean? In today’s episode, Olivia & Dani continue the Mental Cages miniseries to break down “Labyrinth” from “Midnights.” This song - which is a divisive song amongst the Swiftie fandom - has Taylor opening up about her anxiety concerning falling in love after everything she has been through. But, as with all Taylor Swift songs, there is more to the story than what we see on the surface! Join us as we tear back the layers of this synth-filled, vibey track.

Unfortunately, our joy crumbled alongside KC’s offensive line at the Super Bowl this past Sunday. So let’s talk through our sorrows, chat about the season, and we humbly ask your forgiveness for our sadness.
