Swiftory

Taylor Swift's music has given a voice to millions of people who've found the narrative arcs of their own lives in Swift's endlessly engaging songs. With Swiftory, two Gen X besties - Alicia, from Trashy Divorces, and Melissa, from Love Letters To... - have a whole new take on Taylor's work, exploring the music as it is, but also as the duo sees it best: as a lens into history. If Taylor's greatest gift is the universality of her experiences, join Alicia and Melissa as they follow those experiences to all the places, personalities, and eras where they lead - and share your takes along the way. As always, we want your Midnights. Reach out at swiftorypodcast@gmail.com.

    The Swiftory of Catherine Howard and Jane Boleyn

    Alicia and Melissa are back with a bonus episode this week to commemorate two significant Tudor-era murders. On February 13, 1542, Queen Catherine Howard of England, the fifth wife of King Henry VIII, was executed on Tower Green, in the Tower of London, along with her lady in waiting, Jane Boleyn, Viscountess Rochford. As our Swiftorians ponder their stories, an array of Taylor's songs come into focus: Mad Woman, Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince, Haunted, Fifteen, Long Story Short, and Guilty as Sin?, among others. Join us for a ride across the centuries and an ocean, back to the Tudor court and an out-of-control monarch! As always, we want your Midnights!

    Love Letters and Sad Songs

    In this unexpectedly solo episode, Alicia announces the four winners of the Invisible Strings book contest (congrats!), and shares some of your reflections on Taylor's All Too Well (10 Minute Version). The core of the episode centers around some neurological research pointing to why, and how, sad songs end up making us feel better. It turns out Taylor's not kidding about putting narcotics in her songs - sad songs have been shown to activate regions of the brain tied to emotional cues, processing, and regulation, which consequently flood the brain with various neurotransmitter chemicals tied to feelings of pleasure, comfort, and reward.

    All Too Well (10 Minute Version)

    This week, Alicia and Melissa wander back in time as Taylor revisits a long-ago love affair that left her feeling like a crumpled up piece of paper lying here - and they remember it all too well. From Scarf Stealer's (Jake Gyllenhaal's) apparent continuing pattern of seducing women way too young for him - which is certainly one part of this song's origin story - to the glittering emotional clarity of these lyrics, our Swiftorians drink in this phenomenal and heartbreaking story set to music.

    I Bet You Think About Me, Featuring Stevie Nicks, Fairy Godmother

    How does one even decide to own a million dollar couch? This week, Alicia and Melissa tackle I Bet You Think About Me, from 2012's Red and 2021's Red (Taylor's Version). Along the way, Jake Gyllenhaal gets a nickname (Scarf Stealer!), F. Scott Fitzgerald gets a shout out, and Stevie Nicks swoops in to play Fairy Godmother to Taylor.

    Karma

    One of Taylor's more interesting compositions is from her 2022 release, Midnights. Karma, which also served as the Eras Tour closing song, was widely expected to be a thorough takedown of the many industry figures who've wronged Mother over the years - but it turns out to instead be a canny, upbeat, and lyrically fluid praise song for all the good things that have come into Taylor's life by, as she says, keeping her side of the street clean. As Alicia says - Karma's not just a song; it's a movement, and it's a lifestyle. As always, we want your Midnights!

    Kristie Frederick Daugherty and Invisible Strings

    It's one thing to talk Taylor with friends, but what if your friends are some of the finest poets in the world? That's where professor, poet, and editor Kristie Frederick Daugherty found herself when Taylor announced The Tortured Poets Department, and she did what anyone in her position would do: She put out a call for poems, which became the exceptional new book Invisible Strings: 113 Poets respond to the songs of Taylor Swift. Alicia and Melissa were so excited to talk the poetry of Taylor Swift and the art of poetry itself with Kristie, who also shares stories of her own trips to the Eras Tour, meeting Andrea Swift, and being dazzled by the artistry of the Shakespeare of the 21st Century. Keep in touch with Kristie on the web and on Instagram, and see if your interpretation of the poems matches the poets' with the Invisible Strings Song List!
