Swiftie Sessions with our friend Stef

Welcome to the first installment of our new series titled “Swiftie Sessions,” where we chat with other Swifties to hear about what brought them to the fandom and what Swift-related things resonate with them most. First up is Sara’s friend Stef, who is a newer Swiftie. They chat about Stef’s Swiftie origin story, her favorite songs and albums, the importance of YOYOK, honest thoughts on The Life of a Showgirl, misconceptions about Taylor, some of Stef’s favorite lyrics from “peace,” hopes for TS13 and some other fun stuff. We hope you enjoy these conversations as we fill in some time while Laura’s on maternity leave from the podcast.Chapters(0:00) Intro and welcome (6:11) Stef’s Swiftie origin story (23:36) Stef’s favorite album and songs, etc. (27:55) The song uniquely personal to Stef (31:04) Honest thoughts about Showgirl (36:12) Misconceptions about Taylor (45:03) An underrated Taylor song to defend (48:47) Adding to the Eras Tour setlist (49:38) Stef’s “10-minute version” request (50:38) Zooming in on “peace” (59:56) Hopes for TS13 (1:05:14) An artist recommendation (1:09:39) Signing offSUPPORT US ON PATREON!
