Explaining How the Taylor Swift Musical Universe is Connected

from Swiftly Spoken · host Swiftly Spoken

As we have previously mentioned, we love breaking down strange relations between Taylor’s music, and that’s exactly what we do in this week’s episode. We discuss the relations between Taylor Swift’s ten studio albums, connecting them lyrically, thematically, based on real life events, or sometimes just purely due to vibes. Starting with Red we work our way through how we view these relations between the bodies of work that come together to form one big “family tree” or musical universe. From the established sisterly connection between folklore and evermore, to the reciprocal relations between 1989 and Midnights, and even the recent unexpected link between reputation and Debut (so lovingly called debutation), we explore our current intertwined interpretation of Taylor’s music.
