When You Think Taylor Swift whenyouthinktaylorswift

31 SONGS??? We are wealthy. Today we're diving into our overall thoughts on the album — where it fits into Taylor's larger body of work, the side effects of her prolific output over the past few years, living inside of an imperial phase, musical and lyrical redundancies, Taylor's partnerships with Jack and Aaron — and doing a track-by-track vibe check of the (first) album. Come for the hot takes, stay for the alien abduction commentary. We'll be back soon to discuss The Anthology, because there is simply TOO MUCH GROUND TO COVER.

What a week! We’re talking Grammys, TS11 announcement, and the Super Bowl. Complicated feelings about conspiracy theories and Taylor’s public image and capitalism abound. Come for the discourse, stay for our imagined versions of every track on TTPD.  

Sidebars this week: Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the self-fulfilling monster on the hill prophecy, Fox News plugging Taylor Swift as a psyop for the Pentagon and Joe Biden, whether the Super Bowl is rigged, wake up sheeple but also stay asleep sheeple, and no longer trusting Taylor’s use of punctuation.

HELLO LISTENERS and welcome back! We’re whetting your appetites with a petite overview of the happenings in Taylorland — the You’re Losing Me drop, the Eras tour film, and, of course, the couple bringing us close to monoculture. Tune in to hear our thoughts on PR and girlhood and the NFL and himbos. 



Sidebars this week: raisins, Rachel Antonoff, whether is Taylor a picky eater, the chai cookies, Gettin Bi from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Lance from The Other Two, this Taffy Brodesser-Akner piece, and closed captioning for movies.

SUMMER OF TAYLOR. Recorded on the eve of Speak Now TV, we have a little recap of our tour experience. And soon we’ll be back with our full album (and music video) review — what a time to be alive! We are rich in content!!!

Breaking breakup news!!! The #toe split — let’s get into it. 

Sidebars this week: Emily Henry, Lesley Gore, the Kravitz family, a new music video being filmed in Liverpool (??), the Barbie movie, Taylor as Christ, this TikTok, the locked Gaylor subreddit, Taylor’s selective public allyship and (infuriating, disappointing) silence on anti-trans legislation, Tree and the publicist machine, boygenius, this outfit, Taylor’s wardrobe, Jon Caramanica, and the Eras Tour setlist.

Just a little update epi! We eat some Goldfish and talk Spotify stats, tour, Amsterdam (the film, not the city), Taylor’s directorial turn, rerecording predictions, (among other things). Until our Midnights deep dive — thanks for spending your year with us! We love you! To 2023!
