Down Bad and the Journey to TTPD
Join Exquisite & Hannah as they discuss Track 4 of The Tortured Poets Department, "Down Bad." Listen as they dissect (pun intended) the lyrics and share their analysis.
And for the second half of the podcast, the two talk about how they feel TTPD shows Taylor's attempt to reclaim her humanity and autonomy and how these have been themes she has been grappling with since the drop of Fearless.

For a Fortnight There, We Were Forever
Exquisite & Hannah analyze the first track "Fortnight." We talk about the context of the song, go through it stanza by stanza, and even leave room for interpretation--just how Taylor does throughout the album.
NOTE: Hannah thought there was a misprint in her lyrics and tried to correct them, but her corrected lyrics were wrong, so please ignore that part. We do not have the resources to edit it. Just... pretend it didn't happen.
SECOND NOTE: Sorry about all the gardening noise in the background. We tried to record at a different time... and this happened.
