It’s Taylor Swift’s birthday, and somehow she’s the one giving us gifts. In this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we dive headfirst into the first two episodes of Taylor’s Eras Tour documentary and her revealing, hilarious, and emotionally loaded appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

We unpack everything: the overwhelming emotion behind the Eras Tour, the responsibility Taylor carries as a global icon, the heartbreak and resilience surrounding Vienna, and the quiet moments that show who she really is when the spotlight dims. From backstage tears to bonus-day generosity, from Mirrorball validation to the power of audiobooks as emotional armor — nothing is off limits.

Plus, we talk reputation rumors, surprise lyric changes, Swiftie clownery, Travis Kelce crumbs, dancer spotlights, and why Taylor’s confidence still makes people uncomfortable (and why it absolutely shouldn’t).

This episode is joyful, heavy, validating, chaotic, and deeply human — just like Taylor herself.Happy birthday, Taylor. Thanks for once again reminding us why we picked the right one.
