    Now the Music Video is "Opalite"!

    Let's talk about the music video for "Opalite," track 3 on The Life of a Showgirl. Exquisite and Hannah discuss how Taylor Swift brilliantly captured the essence of the song and flexed her prowess as a director.

  2. "Tolerate It" Should Be Celebrated

    "Tolerate It" Should Be Celebrated

    We are back to talking Evermore (finally), and we're back with one of Taylor's most devastating songs: "Tolerate It." And you better sit down for this one. This song follows a woman who is completely overlooked by her (much older) partner, a story that has been told and retold both in literature and in Taylor's own discography. We travel to songs from "All Too Well" to "Dear John" to "Better Man" to "Bejeweled" to "High Infidelity" to "So Long London" and even "Opalite" and "Honey." Draw hearts in the byline of this episode as Exquisite and Hannah unpack a masterpiece. Want to support Exquisite on her journey to becoming a professor?

    Why Taylor Deserved to be Inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame

    Taylor Swift has been named as part of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, entering in her first year of eligibility! The Taylor Seminars wanted to congratulate her by going through the list of five songs she submitted for consideration: "All Too Well (10 Minute Version")"Love Story""Blank Space""Anti-Hero""The Last Great American Dynasty"Our hosts Exquisite & Hannah go through each song in chronological order, discussing why each song deserved its place on the list and why we think it was chosen. We loved the episode as we got to celebrate Taylor's depth and breath in songwriting & success. **Quick note: Hannah said Taylor is the youngest person to be inducted into the Songwriters HOF, but she's actually the youngest female person to be inducted.

    It's Time for Our "An End of an Era" Recap

    It's 2026, and for our first episode of the year, we're doing a special recap of "The End of an Era" docuseries on Disney+.

    Good Thing We Like the Song "CANCELLED!"

    It's time for "CANCELLED!" Track 10 on Taylor Swift's, The Life of a Showgirl. This song fully embraces theatricality as its protagonist revels in her perceived wickedness and embrace of those rejected by the public for "one single drop." While Hannah and Exquisite may not have the same opinion when it comes to how much they like the song, they both agree with how infectiously fun the performance is.

    "Wood" is Taylor at her Cocky-est (Re-upload)

    We're so happy that we've reached "Wood," Track 9 on Taylor Swift's, The Life of a Showgirl. This song combines the joy of "Opalite" and the sweetness of "Wi$h Li$t" to create an infectious song that creates innuendos that make Hannah and Exquisite cackle.
