Episodes

  1. Taylor Swift is TORTURED

    We are getting a new album at midnight and we are BACK BABY. This episode is all about our excitement for the new Taylor Swift Album that we are getting TONIGHT... so it will basically only be relevant for a few hours and after that we will be so thrilled with all the things we got wrong. Things...

  2. Taylor Swift is Untouchable

    This week on the pod we are covering the only cover that Taylor Swift ever deemed to put on any of her 10 studio albums. What is it about THIS indie alt rock song that spoke to her? Taylor has said that she considers her songwriting the reason she has had such a long career, so perhaps that is…

  3. Taylor Swift Jumped and Fell in Love

    We like the way you sound, Taylor Swift! This week on the pod we dive into the first bonus track from Fearless. The two of us put on our sneaky detective caps on to learn if we can deduce things about her later romances from lyrical motifs she uses in Jump then Fall. We also FINALLY have the…

  4. Taylor Swift has CHANGED

    We sing Hallelujah with our sweet Tennesee Christian girlie b/c we are are leaning into this season of change! Change was the final track off of the original release of Fearless, written about finding success in the music industry and how her life was forever changed. I am very convinced this is...

  5. We Had the Best Day with Taylor Swift

    We must protect Andrea Swift at all costs! This week's episode is all about Taylor's beloved tribute to her very best friend, her mom! Andrea has been a guiding force in Taylor's life since she was knocking on the doors of record studios at 14 and absolutely deserves so many beautiful songs all...

  6. Countdown to 1989 (Taylor's Version)

    If you were not already aware... we are less than 24 hours away from 1989 (Taylor's Version). So we recorded a retrospective of the original era for the internet to enjoy. We cover the original album promotion, the arrival of Tree Paine, the major players (i.e. rumored love interests)... WHO THE...

  7. Taylor Swift & Joe did not last Forever & Always

    If we've learned anything these past few months, we know that Joe Jonas still does not know how to break up with someone in person. This week we dive into one of Taylor's more messy public breakups, as told through Forever & Always. She really was out to get Joe Jonas with this one... she even…

  8. That's The Way Taylor Swift Loves Us

    Screaming and crying and listening to this pod in the rain... we're back baby! This week we discuss the ERAS TOUR MOVIE, and also another song off of Fearless. This song is such a bop, as long as you don't read too deeply into the lyrics... maybe that's why she has not performed it live since the...

  9. Taylor Swift is Not Sorry

    ... but we kind of ARE sorry about how behind schedule we are. Only kind of... it's hard to keep to a schedule when you're traveling lol. While this song is not one that the two of us think of when we remember the Fearless Era, it was a huge part of her live performance rotation in 2009. We also...

  10. Tell Me Why you love Taylor Swift

    ... and then Tell Me Why this episode is so late. (JK I already know the answer, it's because I have been traveling in central europe and was being bad about my own deadlines). Tell me why is such a bop, we honestly did not realize how negative the lyrics were until we were preparing for this...

  11. Taylor Swift wants us to Breathe (ft. Colbie Callait)

    It's never simple, never easy, but we always come back with an episode for y'all. This week we are talking about Taylor Swift's first ever collab song, Breathe (ft. Colbie Callait). For those of you who were not in the Taylor trenches with us in 2008, Colbie was IT the summer before Fearless...

  12. You Belong With Us, Taylor Swift!

    Oooooooh... it's a big one this week! You Belong With Me is ICONIC. The lyrics were FUN. The music video defined a generation. The award said music video won dominated the pop culture discussion for decades. Even Barack Obama weighed in! This is a beefy episode, so snuggle in. We even talk about...

  13. Taylor Swift rode a White Horse

    We are not princesses, this ain't a fairytale... but we have each had our time when we sobbed to White Horse on repeat... it's basically a rite of passage for all millenial swifties. White Horse was written about the same dude as Love Story just a few weeks after that seminal classic was penned -...

  14. Taylor Swift said "Hey Stephen"

    I know looks can be decieving but there is no video component to this podcast, so it does not matter. This week we are talking about Hey Stephen, which was written about one of Taylor's tourmates way back in 2008. We also touch on 1989 Taylor's Version and any speculations of an announcement that...

  15. Taylor Swift is her own Love Story

    Who needs Romeo when you have Taylor Swift? This week we are discussing arguably Taylor Swift's biggest hit, Love Story. The two of us were in english class together in 9th grade when we read Romeo and Juliet AND The Scarlett Letter and almost certanly had not discussed either book together since...

  16. Taylor Swift was once Fifteen

    Take a deep breath girl... we're going back to high school! Taylor wrote Fifteen about her freshman year at Hendersonville High School in Nashville where she met her best friend Abigail Anderson. That year she experienced her first date, her first kiss, and helped her best friend through a broken...

  17. Taylor Swift is Fearless

    It's flawless, it's really something... it's Fearless! Welcome to Season Two of Begin Again! All due respect to debut, she really went harder than either of us remembered, but we are STOKED about this new era. Fearless was Taylor's breakout album. She won ALBUM OF THE YEAR for Fearless. So...…

  18. Taylor Swift has a Perfectly Good Heart aka the Speak Now episode

    Whyyyyy would you make a 40 minute episode about A Perfectly Good Heart when you can spend 75% of it talking about Speak Now (Taylor's Version)? Spoiler Alert... that's what we did lol. We do discuss the lyric in A Perfectly Good Heart, because we are chronically committed to the bit and will be...

  19. Taylor Swift feels Invisible

    G'Day Begin Again-ers (Sheridan is in Australia and is very tired as she writes these episode notes). This week is brought to you by Taylor Swift's teenaged pining, yet again. I gotta be real I am very tired and will probably have to change these episode notes at some point. But maybe it's best…

  20. Countdown to Speak Now (Taylor's Version)!

    If you were not already aware, we are 7 days out from Speak Now (Taylor's Version). So we recorded a retrospective of the original era for the internet to enjoy. We cover the original album promotion, the major players (i.e. rumored love interests), and Speak Now World Tour. This is both of our...

    Wow - we have officially made it to Debut's bonus tracks! (also to our thirteenth episode) Can you even believe?!

  22. Taylor Swift wrote Our Song on an old napkin!

    We've heard every album, listened to the radio, waited for something to come along... but nothing is as good as Our Song! Well... that's a tad hyperbolic since there are several Taylor Swift songs that have our everlasting love and devotion, but Our Song certainly is up there! This week on the…

  23. Taylor Swift sings Mary's Song, Oh My!

    Oh My My My how we love Mary's Song! This week we discuss the Taylor/Matty break up, Taylor's pride speech in Chicago, Flavor Flav and eventually we get to Mary's Song. Taylor introduced this song as being about her neighbors in Nashville but there are some other popular interpretations of Mary's...

  24. Taylor Swift History: The Feud w. Kanye West (ft. Blair Dawson)

    We all know that the internet is where nuance goes to die... but when we met up irl for the Boston Calling Music Fest, we wanted to pick a topic that was a bit more fun, chill, and somehow ended up recording an episode on the intersectional complexities of the Taylor Swift/Kanye West feud. Joined...

  25. Taylor Swift Should've Said No!

    Well well well... how the turns tabled - Taylor Swift once said being cheated on was the craziest thing that had ever happened to her. Now she writes bangers like High Infidelity and Getaway Car about how much she loooooves cheating. It's called growth people. This week we dive into all of the...

  26. Taylor Swift's Eyes are like a Jungle (Stay Beautiful)

    Did your love of Taylor Swift lead you back to this podcast? Well you came to the right place: this week we are covering Stay Beautiful, one of Kevin's favorites off of Debut.

  27. Taylor Swift is Tied Together with a Smile

    Hold on baby, we're diving into another deep cut this week! Taylor wrote Tied Together with a Smile for a friend who was struggling with an eating disorder in high school and we discuss both that and Taylor's own public struggle with an ED so tread carefully if that kind of discussion could be...

  28. Is Taylor Swift on The Outside?

    Taylor Swift was, unequivically, not cool in high school. Which is fine, because we weren't either and look how great all three of us turned out! This week on the pod we dive into The Outside, Taylor's ballad about wanting to fit in and never knowing how or why she can't. We go on a wild ride of…

    more
  29. Taylor Swift has never known anyone as Cold as You

    Any seasoned Taylor Swift fan knows a track five is a big deal. Cold as You is the track five from before even Taylor knew how important this honor was. This week, we obviously discuss the MAJOR announcment that Speak Now (Taylor's Version) is coming! We also dive into how many of Taylor's exes...

  30. Taylor Swift finds A Place in this World

    We don't know what we want, so don't ask us. Actually, that's totally a lie, because we would die if Taylor Swift acknowledged our existence. On this week's episode, we dive into A Place in this World, the song Taylor originally wanted to name Debut after. We spend time discussing what home means...

  31. Taylor Swift shed some Teardrops on her Guitar

    Taylor's the song in the car we keep singing, we know exactly why we do. In this episode all about Teardrops on my Guitar, we talk about how Taylor Swift's depiction of romance has matured over her career, her Cancer moon, and the Lover House. We also spill some tea on what has been happening on...

  32. Tell your friends that we're obsessed with Taylor Swift (Picture to Burn)

    To state the obvious, Taylor may not have gotten her perfect fantasy, but we got this absolute banger of a song so... we're fine with it. Taylor describes Picture to Burn as the only song off of Debut that she wrote in anger and honestly, we're here for it. We discuss what it means to be an…

  33. When you think Tim McGraw, I hope you think of us

    The 1 that started it all for our queen!
