    152. The Music Behind the Muse: Joe Alwyn - folklore (2020)

    A fortnight ago, we spoke about if Taylor could ever give Joe peace in the third installment of the Joe Alwyn Muses miniseries. And in 2020, Taylor Swift shocked the world when she surprise dropped her 8th studio album, ‘folklore’. While most were shocked because the record came out of nowhere (less than a year after ‘Lover’, we might add), many Swifties were outright gagged that Taylor opened an album during the supposed Lover Era with a song about yearning for a past fling! In today’s episode, Dani & Olivia continue the Music Behind the Muse miniseries to break down each track from ‘folklore’ to look for “Joefluence.” So what do you think- how much of this fantastical album was rooted in real-life experiences from our girl? Did this album show cracks in the glass, as it were? Tune in to hear us shake it all out! Subscribe to our new Patreon for behind the scenes content, citations, videos, live streams, and more! Here is our FREE TO ALL bonus episode on Patreon, regarding Taylor’s silence on current political issues.

    You know what time it is: the return of the highly requested Joe Alwyn Muses miniseries! Sorry to keep you waiting for a few months, but Olivia & Dani are back again today to hop back into the world of ~Toe~. Taylor’s iconic transition from pop to folk with Lover to Folklore in 2020 rocked the world of pop culture, and many people credit her relationship with Joe as a catalyst for the shift. But what was really going on in their relationship at the time?

    150. Taylor Swift's 2025 Year in Review (+ 2026 Taylor Predictions!)

    Compared to 2023 and 2024, 2025 was a relatively low-key year for Taylor Swift. Isn’t it wild that a year with an album release + huge promo cycle + engagement announcement could be considered LOW KEY? And yet, it is indeed when you are stacking it against the years we have covered so far! Join us in today’s episode as we return from our midseason break to discuss a timeline of the biggest moments of Taylor’s 2025. Plus, per tradition, your hosts recap their 2025 predictions to see where they guessed correctly, and they give their 2026 Taylor predictions as well!
