  • UPDATED BIWEEKLY

Two songs enter. One song leaves. Each week, Kay is joined by two guests. We randomly pull two Taylor Swift songs out of a cup. We listen. We discuss. We vote on which song will move forward in the Swacket (the Swiftie Bracket). We do that again. We will keep doing that until we find the ultimate Best Taylor Swift Song.
