In Defense of Taylor Swift's Folklore Album

Host Morgan introduces In Defense of My Fave and welcomes first-time couple guests Nicole and Michelle (met at Taylor Swift karaoke) alongside recurring guest Stef to defend Taylor Swift’s Folklore. They share their Swiftie backgrounds, where they were during the album’s surprise 2020 release, and discuss the pandemic-era pivot from Lover Fest into a surprise rollout, critical acclaim, Grammy history, collaborators (Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff, Bon Iver, and “William Bowery”/Joe Alwyn), and the Long Pond Studio Sessions. Morgan presents cultural context, industry details, and theories about song inspirations, then leads a track-by-track tier ranking with lyrical analysis, personal stories, and debate over storytelling songs and production styles. The group picks favorite bridges and songs, and Morgan reveals her math-based album scoring to see which Taylor Swift album takes the top spot.Follow the show! ⁠https://www.instagram.com/indefenseofmyfave/⁠
