Alicia and Melissa are back with a bonus episode this week to commemorate two significant Tudor-era murders. On February 13, 1542, Queen Catherine Howard of England, the fifth wife of King Henry VIII, was executed on Tower Green, in the Tower of London, along with her lady in waiting, Jane Boleyn, Viscountess Rochford.

As our Swiftorians ponder their stories, an array of Taylor's songs come into focus: Mad Woman, Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince, Haunted, Fifteen, Long Story Short, and Guilty as Sin?, among others. Join us for a ride across the centuries and an ocean, back to the Tudor court and an out-of-control monarch!
