Fortnight

We’re back in TTPD Land! While this is admittedly not one of our favorite tracks from the album, we still had a great time breaking down the fever dream that is this song, as well as the world Taylor has created for it. During the “Taylor Updates” section we get into the recent Grammys Museum interview and performance she did, and in our “What’s On Our Plates” section we go on a tangent about hormones and walkability. We hope you enjoy!Chapters(0:00) intro(1:34) what’s on our plates(17:55) Taylor updates(29:54) introducing the song(33:09) personal associations(38:37) folk’lore’ of the song(44:46) verse 1: they forgot to come and get me and what is “quite treason?”(52:40) chorus 1: turned into good neighbors(59:26) verse 2: the miracle move-on drug(1:05:48) chorus 2: “come and tug my sweater”(1:11:57) bridge + outro: take me to Flo-ri-da(1:19:43) musical theory analysis(1:21:52) favorite lyrics and ratings(1:24:07) this song as a recipe(1:26:15) signing offSUPPORT US ON PATREON!
