We Need to Calm Down: a Taylor Swift Podcast

Taylor Swift has released over 150 tracks, and over 55 singles, but were there any singles she should have released but didn't (duh), we take a deep dive into Taylor's history with singles, and what were her biggest snubs and oddest choices for her releases. We go album by album and discuss the biggest songs that we think should have been singles and also the songs that... we really question.

She did it.

We did it.

That's right this week we did it, we broke down the boppiest, countriest, and most danceable murder song this side of 2020. We dive into the story of the song, our impressions of it, and breakdown the music behind the tune.

It has been a hot minute since we've dived deep into a track. With Taylor news slowing down we decided to jump right back into our Evermore song breakdowns, hitting the 9th Track 5!

This week we break down the story behind tolerate it, pick out our favorite soul crushing lyrics, Devon explains the madness that is the production behind the song, and finally, Joe breaks down whether or not this song lives up to being a Track 5.

This week we jump headfirst into Fearless (Taylor's Version) and rank every song on the album (and the From the Vault songs). We peel back what made us love them, and whether or not the new versions bumped a few songs up, or took a few down.

Sorry 2021, it's 2008 now. Taylor Swift released the first of her re-recorded albums, Fearless (Taylor's Version), along with six new songs From the Vault. In this episode, we discuss the overall feel of the album, go through our reactions to each track, and update our predictions for future re-records.

We've done 50 episodes talking about nothing but Taylor Swift. We are beyond thankful for the kind words and support from everyone. To celebrate this occasion we have decided to rank our top 10 songs! So... here they are, the de facto (strictly our opinion) best songs Taylor Swift has ever recorded.

To view our top 50, be sure to check out our instagram for the full list (and give us a follow while you're there 😊).

It's time to break down track 4 on evermore, Joe's favorite song on the record (possibly ever). We go through the background of the song and our first impressions. We break down the lyrics and (between crying fits) explain how the production of the song perfectly amplifies the lyrics and evokes the emotions that make you (and us) break down crying on whole new levels.

We have been ruminating on this episode for a long time. We've polled the audience (our friends and instagram followers) and stayed up all night debating, listening, and adjusting, but we think we finally did it. Our definitive rankings of not only the songs on 'evermore', but our rankings for every song of the sister album era. We take this information to come to a single conclusion: which album is better?

Last week Taylor dropped two new announcements on us: a release date for her version of Fearless and the new Love Story (Taylor's Version) single. From new artwork, easter eggs, and 6 additional never-before-released tracks, Devon and Joe breakdown the announcement, reminisce on the Fearless era, breakdown the new version of Love Story, and make predictions for the future of the re-records.

We're back this typical Tuesday to break down the newest chapter: 'forever is the sweetest con' Taylor dropped. Normally, we might just mention the new chapter and move on... but we ran across an interesting theory that piqued our interest. This chapter details the timeline of Taylor & Joe's relationship? When a Taylor theory arises... we must go to work.

As a side note, from this episode forward, we will be releasing our episodes every other week instead of weekly. Our next episode will drop February 16th!
