Taylor Swift once invited fans into her actual homes to hear her albums before release — cookies baked by Taylor, Polaroids with her cats, holding her GRAMMYs. Secret Sessions were peak Swiftie lore. But after the chaos of Lover — leaks, drama, clogged toilets, and unhinged fan behavior — the sessions disappeared for good. In this episode, we revisit the rise and fall of Secret Sessions, from Tumblr-era stalking to the insanity of the Lover house party, and explain why The Life of a Showgirl will never get them. Taylor’s fame, paranoia, and the scale of her stardom in 2025 make Secret Sessions literally impossible.
