Swiftie Sessions: A Taylor Swift Podcast Swiftie Sessions

A chaotic weekend has led to this chaotic episode, in which Brianna, Paije, and Janine review the evidence presented by The Chairman herself. Taylor's surprise release of The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology gave the girls plenty to talk about. Without further ado, we hereby conduct this post mortem...

It is T-minus one week until The Tortured Poets Department changes the world forever, and this week's session is dedicated to the chaotic playlists that Taylor just launched. After discussing some of the *super messy* rumors that have recirculated about Joe and some potential infidelity, Brianna and Paije discuss their thoughts on Taylor's selections for each stage of heartbreak. They share their own picks (which they chose before Taylor even debuted these playlists!) and analyze the implications of some of the song choices on these playlists. 

With Taylor's newest album on the horizon, the girls decide to take a look back at Taylor's first self-owned album. This week's session is dedicated to the somewhat overlooked, but all too crucial, album Lover. In this episode, Brianna and Paije talk about what this album signified in Taylor's career, as well as unpack all of the "Easter eggs" that her and Joe might not have been as rock solid as fans had assumed they were.

In honor of one of Taylor's most recent, chaotic mash-ups, this week's session is dedicated to Taylor's most vulnerable song off of folklore. After a relatively short news segment, the girls take a deep dive into the cascade ocean wave blues of the song "peace." Brianna, Paije, and Janine discuss the song's (now, somewhat ironic) message and their personal connections to the song.

What do you mean Taylor is releasing a new album? What do you mean she's been working on it for two years?? What do you mean track five is called "So Long, London"??? In this week's session, the girls freak out over all the new developments that have occurred since they last recorded. In their longest episode yet, Brianna, Paije, and Janine discuss everything from the Grammys to the Super Bowl and share all of their many predictions/expectations for Taylor's newest surprise: The Tortured Poets Department. 

*This episode was recorded prior to the Grammys, so for obvious reasons, it does not include any discussion of The Tortured Poets Department announcement or the track list. Please come back in two weeks to hear our reactions and thoughts/predictions!*
This week’s session focuses on Taylor’s most famous forgiveness track. After a lengthy news segment that begins with a very intense discussion of the recent AI photos of Taylor, the girls dive into the lyrics of the song Innocent and share their thoughts on how this song has changed since its debut.
