In honor of pride month and the three year anniversary of the song, The Archers return to Season 2 with a celebratory analysis of the high camp music video for “You Need To Calm Down”! With the help of the fellow Gaylors listed above, Katie and Madyson discuss the video’s subtle nods to lesbian country singer Chely Wright, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Girls by the 1975, and *another* stonewall reference. They discuss the meaning of queer baiting and how accusations of it might have affected the video’s final cut.

Katie & Madyson deep dive into the rabbit hole that is Taylor Swift's debut, particularly five of her biggest hits from her self-titled album. They find bait-and-switches, bearded pronouns, storytelling that mirrors folklore, religious guilt, and sapphic themes. Listen to them discover the demo lyrics for Picture To Burn and Teardrops On My Guitar, and find out that Taylor was inspired by lesbian singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge. Along with queer lyrical analysis, the archers decode cryptic lyrics that listeners were puzzled by. What's more queer than windows, wrecking plans, rhinestones, mental illness, and honey?

After meeting in person for the first time (!) and hosting a very successful Gaylor Trivia, Madyson and Katie record an episode live and in person. They use this time to delve into the treasure trove of gaylor folklore (gaylore) that is Taylor's 2017 version of emojis: Taymojis. Follow along with us at the Taymoji Wiki as we examine some of Taylor's earliest and potent hairpin drops and symbols: https://taylorswift.fandom.com/wiki/Taymojis. By the end of the episode, you'll feel as re-energized about being gay4tay as we are!

Lizzy reveals her top 10 (+3 bonus songs= 13) Taylor Swift songs, analyzing their themes of teenage girlhood, boredom, the internal v. external, and sapphic love. Katie describes how their birth charts function together as an intuitive bonfire on the beach. They admire Jack Antonoff’s work on august and consider making a gif of his smile in the long pond studio sessions, then putting it in a digital frame in their home. Finally, Lizzy goes over the 7 songs that she thinks Taylor needs to cover!

Madyson and Katie are joined by Renaissance and Sunny from The Lavender Menace Podcast, two fellow gaylor podcasters who also have a lot to say about one of Taylor Swift's most underrated albums: Reputation. Each of them do a lyrical deep dive into a song from reputation: Sunny proves why "Dress" is sapphic text, Madyson compares "Dancing With Our Hands Tied" to Taylor's themes of secrecy, Renaissance questions why Taylor doesn't see her boyfriend in "Gorgeous, and Katie's virgo moon gives a critical reading of "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things". The four gaylors share their journeys of being queer Taylor Swift fans and reflect on both sides of the Kanye fued in an attempt to contextualize TIWWCHNT, and end up theorizing that it could be about someone else.

Since this was originally a Patreon exclusive episode, we edited out all of the juicy gossip to share our thoughts on The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo with our main feed listeners (check out our Patreon to hear the full 2 hour episode!). In this episode, we go through the book and point out quotes that eerily resemble Taylor Swift and/or her public persona. We also discuss how Evelyn and Celia's relationships to the male gaze, and the expectations of women in Hollywood, were their ultimate demise. Listen to us unpack PR relationships, homophobia in Hollywood, relationship anarchy, compulsory heterosexuality, and the possibility that Taylor Swift herself had a hand in the writing of this book. 

Disclaimer: Any talk of Taylor Jenkins Reid is never intended to discredit her work or her writing! We just think it's fun to theorize that Taylor could have contributed to ghost-writing the book.

The Archers presents an auditory love letter to Taylor, from her queer fans. This is a collection of many voices and stories (including two written letters from listeners, read aloud by Katie) explaining what Taylor's music and presence has meant to us. Happy Valentine's Day and may our love last so long. <3

Gaylore Group: The Gaylor Discussion Group is happening on Sunday, February 13th at 1pm EST. Info & registration is here: patreon.com/posts/gaylore-group-is-62209896

In the second part of The Archers’ Evermore queer analysis, Katie and Madyson continue to explore the queer invisible string that connects happiness (0:00), dorothea (12:23), coney island (28:27), ivy (38:15), cowboy like me (50:15), long story short (1:03:51), marjorie (1:08:56), closure (1:12:38), evermore (1:18:07), right where you left me (1:27:14), and it’s time to go (1:37:16). They explain how dorothea connects to the folklore love triangle, and their theory that dorothea and augustine skipped prom together. Madyson connects coney island to All Too Well (10 minute version); Katie explains why hoax and right where you left me are basically the same song. And of course, the significance of invisible string and cowboy like me both being track 11.
