    90. How to Become Famous: A Look into Taylor's Fame ft. Harvard Law Professor Cass Sunstein

    Taylisteners, welcome to our first Harvard class! In today’s episode, prolific and iconic legal scholar/Harvard Law professor Cass Sunstein joins your hosts to talk about his new book, “How to Become Famous: Lost Einsteins, Forgotten Superstars, and How the Beatles Came to Be.” This book, released this week, covers the magic and madness of how people become famous- and how they don’t. Taylor Swift is a perfect case study of the mixture of luck and talent needed to be the biggest name in the world, so let’s talk about it with one of the best minds in higher education!

    89. State of Swift: What Went Down in Paris

    What if we told you she’s back…with a whole new version of The Eras Tour?! Well, kinda. Over this past weekend in Paris, Taylor debuted a revised version of the tour we’ve come to know over the past 14 months. Between cutting tracks, adding a Tortured Poets Department set, 23 new outfits, and a Tayvis PDA showcase in the City of Love(r), we had to bring you another installment of ‘State of Swift’ to bring you up to speed.

    As many of you know, there is a humanitarian crisis happening in Gaza. In our efforts to help the people of Palestine, we are highlighting the GoFundMes of several of our favorite Swiftie creators. Each week, we will be supporting a new Palestinian family in raising money to escape Rafah. We hope you join us in these lifesaving fundraisers.

    Today, we highlight Abdullah Al-Ashi and his family, sponsored by Elizabeth (aka MoonyBug on TikTok). Please support by donating here.

    Attention rap fans: do you now understand why Swifties are obsessed with analyzing Taylor's songs for tea? In today's extra credit episode, Dani walks you through the ongoing 'KenDrake' rap battle. Why, you ask? Because Taylor and her Swifties are somehow a part of the narrative, so it's probably important to understand what's going on. Hop in for the tea party!
