Clio and Meredith discuss the figure of the page in Taylor Swift's work with reference to Bonnie Mak's How the Page Matters. They also discuss internet rankings of Taylor's songs: Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-songs-of-all-time-1224767) and "All 199 of Taylor Swift's Songs, Ranked" (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/taylor-swift-songs-ranked-rob-sheffield-201800) and Vulture's "All 179 Taylor Swift Songs, Ranked" (https://www.vulture.com/article/all-taylor-swift-songs-ranked-from-worst-to-best.html).

Meredith has a PhD in Comparative Literature and works at a writing center. If you like cats, etymology, or both, find her on Instagram at @caedmon_the_catman.
