Opalite’s real meaning reveals a hard truth about Taylor Swift's songs

from Decoding Taylor Swift · host Joe Romm and Toni Romm

Opalite does NOT mean what you think it does—as you’ll learn in this eye-opening episode. The #2 song in America may seem like a simple bop, but in reality, it’s a complex lyrical gem that shines a whole new light on the album. PLUS, we have a must-see interview with the brilliant Charlie Harding, a songwriter who co-hosts the award-winning hit podcast, Switched on Pop. And if you’ve ever wondered why Swift loves to work with Max Martin, Harding provides rare insight into the reclusive Swedish songwriting genius. Learn more about your ad choices.
