Episode 130 - Paper Rings 1:17:48

6天之前1:17:48

1:17:48

We simply cannot seem to get over our excitement for Taylor and Travis' engagement! So to start things off this week, we discuss what we think the wedding will look like, where and when it will be held, who will be there, and whether or not Taylor will take The Life of a Showgirl on Tour. So much to find out, and the unknown is absolutely part of the fun! Our song this week is one of those Lover songs where you can tell Taylor was really masking the anxiety and sadness she might have been feeling about her relationship with overly energetic and boppy lyrics and production. But we waste no time in getting to the root of it all. And aren't we glad that she finally found someone to marry, and with a GIANT shiny thing on her finger at that?!

1:13:18

It's a new soundtrack and we can DEFINITELY dance to this beat.....CONGRATS TAYLOR AND TRAVIS! We sat down to record this episode just moments after the news broke of their engagement. As you can imagine, chaos ensues! There is so much to discuss with Taylor Swift these days, and although we are disctracted by the epic news, we focus on the opening track of 1989. A song that Sam is not fond of, but one that Rachel really enjoys. The freedom that Taylor feels in this song is quite contagious. But we can’t help but wonder….is 2025 Taylor just as giddy about NYC now as she was when she first moved there back in 2014? Let us know what you think!

This episode was recorded before the Tayvis news! Hear our reactions in next week's episode! Until then, Rachel begins by sharing more thoughts on the New Heights podcast and the insights that gave us into Taylor's trajectory. And Sam shares some VERY EXCITING NEWS about his life! We dip into Taylor's sadness with the song of the week. However, there is hope to be found throughout this song that Sam considers to be one of his absolute favorites of all time.

Episode 127 - Question...? 1:15:54

27天之前1:15:54

1:15:54

We begin this episode with a thorough discussion about The Life of a Showgirl and what we are expecting moving forward. Will there be a lead single? And if so, which song would Taylor choose? Lots more to discuss on the upcoming TS12, so send us your thoughts so we can share them on air! Sam has been wanting to discuss "Question...?" since as long as we started this podcast. We discuss how in this song, Taylor is quite sassy, sarcastic, and perhaps a little bit angry. Naturally we're curious over who the song might be about, and we think we've come to a few conclusions. At the end, it seems that there are more questions...? than there are answers....but that's okay! Share with us your thoughts on today's episode by sending an email to swiftandswigspodcast@gmail.com.

Episode 126 - Suburban Legends 1:12:40

5 weeks之前1:12:40

1:12:40

Okay, so we recorded this episode on Monday, August 11, 2025. Mere HOURS before we received the official announcement about TS12, The Life of a Showgirl. What that means is you get to hear us freak out over the possibilities of a potential album release. What made this episode EXTRA fun, was midway through recording we learned a countdown had been placed on Taylor's website. Naturally, chaos ensued. It's great to be back after our summer break! Suburban Legends is a bit of a head scratcher for us, but nevertheless we persisted with the breakdown and the cocktail pairing of it all. Obviously we will have LOTS more thoughts on TLOAS in the coming weeks, and we are so thrilled for the ride ahead. Let us know your thoughts!

1:24:15

It's time to break down and pair cocktails to the title track of one of our favorite albums of all time....THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT!!! We start by discussing what it is that Taylor Nation is up to with these *count up* posts lately. Probably nothing...but still something to get excited about! Our new shit has Rachel introducing a totally new artist to the both of us! Sam also brings a new artist along, and Rachel is giggling the whole way through. Now for the song. Wow! So many thoughts! We deem The Tortured Poets Department an overall positive song, a refresher on this album. But self-aware Taylor throws some shade at the subject of this song. And we are left to wonder, when was this song written and for whom was it written. Let us know your thoughts!

Episode 124 - cowboy like me 1:19:55

9 weeks之前1:19:55

1:19:55

The time has finally come for us to discuss one of Sam's favorite songs, and a song that Rachel has been curious by since its release almost five years ago. We don the cowboy hats and the swindling charm for this one! But first, Rachel does a live on-air taste-testing of Squashies, Taylor Swift's supposed favorite candy. What's the consensus? Tune in to find out! Rachel really surprised Sam by choosing Justin Bieber as her new shit this week. And Sam surprised Rachel by not choosing Justin Bieber, despite his unashamed love for that artist! Cowboy Like Me tells a deeply intriguing story about two con artists that fall in love. Rachel brings a really interesting perspective that had us both wondering about the true inspiration behind this evermore track. You'll have to let us know your thoughts! There's also a poll connected to this (if you're listening on Spotify), so be sure to answer that as well!

Episode 123 - Tim McGraw 1:14:38

10 weeks之前1:14:38

1:14:38

We are FINALLY breaking down and pairing cocktails to Taylor Swift's FIRST EVER SONG ever released. This song, unlike a few others that we've discussed off the debut album, is quite meaningful and full of poignant lyrics. Its choice to be Taylor's first ever lead single was interesting, but also quite brilliant. Surprise surprise….we BOTH chose Tim McGraw (the actual artist, not the song. Confusing, we know) as our “new shit” this week. It’s classic country and sometimes that’s cringey to Sam, but he’s pretty undeniably catchy as well.

Episode 122 - So High School 1:17:17

1:17:17

Happy fourth of July from your fellow Americans! And in honor of this momentuous occasion, we have chosen one truly all-American Taylor Swift song to pair cocktails to and discuss. Boy do we love a good ol' sappy Taylor Swift love song! But So High School is way more than sappy love, it's reminiscent of a time we've all experienced, or maybe some who are currently experiencing: teenage giddiness! Taylor certainly shows that giddiness on this lovely track, whose sound we are absolutely loving and craving more of! We simply can't get enough of this song, even though Sam sometimes feels a little queesy over Tayvis and their showy relationship. For our Spotify listeners, take the poll to let us know which line of the song is better!

Yes, we did see that Taylor Swift literally performed Shake It Off at a bar in Nashiville this week!!! Why is she so obsessed with us?! In all seriousness though......wait a minute, this episode is meant to be fun! Who's talking about being serious? Just do as Taylor does and SHAKE IT OFF! We were so thrilled to FINALLY break down one of Taylor Swift's most famous songs. Let's be honest, this is one of the WORLD'S most famous songs! And yet, we both chose to make cocktails with vegetables in it?! Who are we? One thing is for certain, though this song has never been our favorite, like always, we can come around to appreciating a Taylor song for the impact that it has. Also, let's just have some fun! Shake It Off is definitely a fun song.

After all, we're only 119 episodes in to this podcast, so we're still working out the kinks....right? Do you believe us know? Or are you oh so quiet?

In today's episode, we celebrate Taylor Swift and her purchasing of her masters!!! Buckle in, because we spend the entire first half of the episode discussing this historical moment in musical history. Naturally, we were shocked and almost let down when we first discovered she may not be recoriding Reputation (Taylor's Version), but the more we understood and discussed, the happier we became for Taylor. We couldn't be more proud of her! Speaking of Reputation, it's been well over a year since we discussed a song off this iconic album...until now! This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, Taylor!

1:11:40

We're back to our clowning as we approach the American Music Awards that Taylor's team has been leaving lots of clues for us to pay attention to. We've also got an (almost) new Reputation Taylor's Version song to react to! But first, Rachel wants to know how Sam's music festival went, so Sam shares the highlights of his time becoming an indie rocker for a weekend. He's also many degrees closer to Taylor Swift after his experience meeting a few iconic musicians! Our New Shit songs had us both excited about the heartfelt moments that musicians choose to share with us in their songwriting. Speaking of heartfelt, Sam chose the song this week and it's an age-old classic story of love. And surprisingly to both of us, the song Timeless contains no drama, no doubt, and no anxiety. It's a bit cheesy at times but overall romantic and special, especially considering Sam received this song at his Eras Tour concert back in July 2023.

Did this episode cause Rachel to cry tears of sadness or tears of joy? Yes. Sam excitedly got to describe his experience attending a Swiftie Brunch in Denver. It felt like the Eras tour all over again! Then he shares some riveting information he heard regarding the legal aspect of the trademark for "Reputation (Taylor's Version). This completely changes how we feel about the announcement for the upcoming album. This episode is all about moms! And though we both agree the song discussed is quite cheesey, Rachel makes it clear how special this song is to her. The cocktails were springy, floral, and inspired by our mom. The Gilmore Girls, Jimmy Buffet, and some guy named "Steve" all make an appearance in this cheesey, sentimental, and goofy episode. Happy Mother's Day!

Rachel dressed up for this episode and is totally in her "Miami Vice" era. Sam on the other hand NEEDS a vacation. Someone take us to Florida!!! We answer a fun lil' Taylor Swift-themed questionnaire, and boy was it difficult! Send us your answers to the questionnaire too! Our new shit segment brought in some classical music and some chill indie rock vibes. Sam chose the song Florida!!! to discuss this week because he thought they could use an escape from last week's sad song. And what an escape it was! Taylor and Florence both sing about wanting to escape their lives, their pasts, their relationships, etc, and go to a place like Florida, whether that's literal or metaphorical. We all have a Florida we like to escape to and forget about our lives back home. But for Taylor, what really is home anymore?

Happy birthday to The Tortured Poets Department album! To celebrate, we begin this episode with a very fun challenge: Ranking every song off the entire TTPD + Anthology album! Sam felt self-counscious about his choices, Rachel reassured him that his opinions are valid, and together the sibs drank everytime they had the same song in the same spot! Turns out, Rachel and Sam both have the same #1 song. Can you guess which song it is? Then, the sibs delve into one of Rachel's most favorite Taylor Swift songs of all time. In fact, it's in her top 10! It's about time they tackle this one. But why did Taylor release this song AFTER the Midnights album came out. And was this the final straw for her relationship with Joe Alwyn, or just one fight that would later lead to the end of the relationship? Rachel cries and Sam tries to understand.

Even though this is Rachel's birthday episode, Sam finds a way to make it about him. Classic little brother move. How did it take us 112 episodes to finally break down one of our most favorite tracks from folklore? All we know is it was worth the wait. The spirit and lore and TWIST of it all for this song made this one of the more fun episodes we've discussed in a while. Of course, we couldn't just dive into the song right away. We had to spill some Taylor Tea.... Sam insists on going into yet another discussion about Reputation (Taylor's Version). Rachel seems to think TS12 is in the works, but Sam isn't so sure Taylor has enough inspiration to release that album yet. What do you all think? Our new shit brings Bon Iver and Billie Marten into the conversation. Sam is still on his month-long cleanse, so he brings a cocktail idea to pair with this song. Rachel, meanwhile, goes FULL IN. We reveal there's going to be a major twist in this song, but you have to wait until we get there to find out what it is (in the rare event you have no idea already). Rachel finds a way to connect Taylor's songwriting to her relationship with Joe Alwyn. Fine, we'll give it to her. Overall, we had a MARVELOUS time ruining everything this episode and we hope you enjoy!!!

The album closer to the standard edition of The Tortured Poets is one that hit us pretty hard, and evoked a lot of emotions in both of them!

In this episode, we share with you our bottom songs and our top songs of the entire discography. Let us know if you'd like us to share our entire ranking with you! And click the link below to rank the songs yourselves! The spirit of the song Clara Bow was a topic we discussed in great length for this episode. Not only about the message this song evokes, but also why it was chosen as the album closer. Taylor shows off her brilliant story telling with this song, with quite a twist at the end that makes Sam get all choked up every time he hears it.

Rachel has some VERY EXCITING NEWS to share with us at the beginning of the episode. And it has nothing to do with Taylor Swift except it has EVERYTHING to do with Taylor Swift. Have so much fun on this next adventure Rachel! Sam reveals he ranked every single song off The Tortured Poets Department, and he's encouraged Rachel to do the same to share in a future episode. We share some podcast news and discuss our thoughts on Reputation Taylor's Version (because of course). Our new shit had us paying homage to some of our favorite indie artists! Then we break down the Swift of the week and pair some much needed cocktails to this great song off the Fearlesss Taylor's Version vault. Why is this song so confusing? And was Taylor Swift inspired by her 2021 relationship with Joe Alywn when she released this? Share with us your thoughts on today's episode by sending an email to swiftandswigspodcast@gmail.com.

In this week's episode, we play some games!!! Any by games, we mean Buzzfeed quizzes for Swifties. Let's find out where we're going on vacation! But first, we had to discuss the iHeart Radio Music Awards! Is this the end of awards season? We both chose the same song to discuss for our "new shit" segment, and boy are we into it! The song we discuss this week was different than any other one we've done before. Taylor was inspired to write this song not based on events she's experienced in her own life (maybe?), but rather from reading the Hunger Games book. Sam almost falls asleep from his cocktail, and Rachel took a morbid route with hers. There aren't too many lyrics to discuss with this one, but the sounds we hear are beautiful and haunting.

Boy oh boy, we're breaking into another favorite episode. And this one shines like a brand new toy! Somehow Eminem enters the chat, and Sam definitely did not invite him. New shit!! Lizzo!! And her being the confident queen that she is!! Role Model!! Sam feels like a Gen Z for loving this new artist he's discovered! Tapping into the episode, we can't help but connect this Tortured Poets Department song to the iconic film Toy Story. Is Sam's favorite movie also Taylor's favorite movie? Probably not. We discuss which boy Taylor claims is always breaking his favorite toys, and why the metaphor of Taylor being a "sick army doll" is so important. Please let us know your thoughts on this episode and if there's anything we've missed!

We’re getting excited for an upcoming potential Taylor Swift appearance at the iHeart Radio Music Awards! Sam is adamant that he won’t be clowning for anything, but that doesn’t mean we both won’t be watching with anticipation! The episode goes off on a bit of a tangent about Taylor’s style and who exactly is behind her fashion choices. Then we discuss Travis Kelce’s potential retirement and what that may look like for us Swifties. Our New Shit segment had us both talking about the same album and artist: Lady Gaga and Mayhem! We both love this album so much and discuss our favorites from it. The song of the week has us praising and applauding Taylor for her genius! But, naturally, we dig a little deeper to reveal our theories on how this song is more than just being cheeky and revealing. Taylor Swift is a mastermind by hiding her anxious feelings about the unravelling of her relationship with Joe Alwyn. Let us know what you think about our thoughts!

Rachel has deemed this the "wackiest" episode ever, and she's not wrong. We hop around from topic to topic, with no particular order connecting them. We waste no time and get right into our "new shit," with Sam acknowledging he made a mistake by forgetting to mention Lady Gaga's upcoming album! The song of the week had us scratching our heads. What exactly is the spirit of I Think He Knows? We land on it having to do with confidence, whether that's confidence by Taylor or confidence by the subject of the song. Either way, we have a blast as always and we hope you, Swiggies, might be able to enlighten us. We just know there's a deeper meaning to this song than what appears on the surface.

We're not blushing..... YOU'RE blushing. Okay, so we're blushing a little bit. But this song just goes there! So, naturally, we do too. Maybe it's a little weird for two sibs to be talking about self love, but Taylor doesn't shy away from it so why should we? This song is SO much more than that, however. And we explore it all. But first, we discuss an upcoming plan for some future special episodes on our podcast.

This is one juicy episode! We start by exchanging Taylor Swift-themed food puns and scavenger hunt ideas. And although hilarious, Tay Tay, we're begging you, give us something to discuss! We both blow eachother's minds when we discuss our new shit. Sam gives a special shoutout, and Rachel waffles before finally settling on the new shit she was meant to discuss. Dolly Parton meets modern pop? Hell yeah! The cocktails come into play and Sam gets angry at Rachel for stealing his title. Which title is that? You'll have to listen to find out, but let's just say it has everything to do with a certain Bad Blood Eras Tour performance. Speaking of Bad Blood, the spirit is deep with this song. The lore behind this massive hit takes a while to dissect. And although we both agree the lyrics aren't particularly strong, the meaning and power behind this song signifies a massive success for Taylor. Sam loves it, Rachel feels meh. But that's what makes this smash hit song so fun!…

Happy Valentine's Day! We hope this episode brings you life, laughter, and love. Taylor certainly brings those things with the song "Today Was A Fairytale." We discuss that song in its entirety, and we drink some bubbly and princessy cocktails, but not before discussing in length ALL the details of the past week. The Grammy's were a huge highlight of our year so far. And the Superbowl, although the game was quite boring, brought lots of discussion in the form of Taylor's appearance and Kendrick Lamar's performance. Speaking of Kendrick, we're both in our rap era right now as we discuss two rap artists in the "New Shit" segment. Then we get into our cocktails and discuss the song, however this song must be discussed in its context with the film Taylor made her acting debut in: "Valentine's Day." Cringey? Yes. Induldgent?

Episode 2 of Season 3 and we are trucking along with all new guest stars. This week, we are so happy to have Sarah Langan join us for her choice of "So Long, London!" Sarah and Sam have been friends for a few years and have bonded over Taylor Swift many times over cocktails. What better guest to have on a podcast about Taylor Swift and cocktails? We take time to hear Sarah's Swiftie story and why "So Long, London" was Sarah's #1 song on Spotify last year. Thank you, Sarah (and Taylor), for sharing your vulnerabilities and speaking about the importance of recognizing your own strength within a struggling relationship. Taylor cuts deep with her lyrics in this song, and we are gratefeul she chose to share these intimate details about the downfall of her long-term relationship with Joe Alwyn. Another Track 5 in the books....what do you all think about this one? Be sure to leave your comments if listening on Spotify, or leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

We are back after a 6-week break and we are now entering season 3! Surprisingly, there wasn't too much Taylor content to catch up on, except for more potential Reputation TV clowning. Sam swears he's done clowning...but what exactly is the internet saying? And why has Taylor removed that album from her Spotify? As we approach the Grammy's, it's important we discuss new artists and songs that we are excited about. Be sure to tune into our "new shit" playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5LOn9LRJ8lnvnCbpl6fKVG?si=ee26a0c247fd45c5 We start to break down the song of the week, and we both agree that it's one of Taylor's BEST album closers of all time. Or is it the best album closer? Sam has thoughts on that. We both feel sad but uplifted when listening to this song. It's clear Taylor has been damaged from previous relationships, but nonetheless she remains positive and hopeful. We agree that it doesn't matter who Taylor is going on a date with, but rather, it's how she approaches it. And we're so proud of her. Please join us for season 3 as we introduce new guests, new traditions, and new songs, surely.…

100! Episodes! Can you believe it? Sam brought the noisemakers and decorations, Rachel brought the groans that accompany it. Just kidding.....we're both so incredibly proud of this podcast and we want to say a special THANK YOU to everyone for tuning in week after week. This podcast would never have reached 100 episodes if it weren't for you...so thank you! Of course, we had to choose *the* best song to discuss for this momentuous occasion. Rachel confesses All Too Well (10) is her most favorite Taylor Swift song - actually....her most favorite song by any artist! Sam gets emotional over the realization that they're ACTUALLY breaking down the most important and iconic song in Taylor's catalog. Cocktails were a'plenty. Sam couldn't come up with just one cocktail, so he created FOUR, which slowly get revealed throughout the lyrical analysis. Rachel matches him and comes up with all new cocktails on the spot! She's in her red wine era. This is the longest episode we've ever released, but we hope you understand the importance this song has on us as Swifties and as podcast hosts. Please let us know your thoughts on today's episode by leaving a comment on Spotify or a written review over on Apple Podcasts. We will be taking a month-long break and we look forward to returning (and beginning again).…

Episode 099 - Christmas Must Be Something More 1:08:35

1:08:35

Well, the Eras Tour is over and Taylor has left us nearly speechless. In part because we are forever in awe over how special the Eras Tour was, in other part because we are deeply shocked and surprised that Vancouver was the most regular weekend ever. Sam isn't mad that Taylor didn't announce anything, he's just upset that she knowingly led us to believe we should clown for something. Either way, we spend a good portion of this episode discussing our thoughts on what it means now that the Eras Tour has ended. Then, we dive into our Spotify Wrapped, even though nobody asked for it. Sam takes a moment to thank all of you Swiggies who have been tuning in and helping us grow this podcast over the past year....THANK YOU! The New Shit segment brings Rachel back to her nonsensical Christmas vibes, and Sam gives a classic Taylor Swift song a spin. Then the laughs begin as we delve into a song originally written and released in 2007. The lyrics are funny, confusing, and joy-filled. Although we make slight fun of Taylor, it's all from love. Cheers to the birthday boy and cheers to the birthday girl! Check out our New Shit playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5LOn9LRJ8lnvnCbpl6fKVG?si=b57325556f9445ab…

And then we tap into the ultimate Taylor-On-Tour song! How are we crying already?! The way she took the meaning of this song from her band to her producer to us…the fans…! Wow, we are beyond words. Yet we still manage to pair some delicious cocktails and find the depth behind these meaningful lyrics. Now how do you beat the mashup she’s already performed?! Tune in to find out!

This episode begins with a very sad Sam. We discuss the ending of the Eras Tour and how it's finally hitting us! What is Taylor planning for the Vancouver shows? What does her countdown mean? Rachel gets into the holiday spirit with her new shit this week. What a crazy Swiftie universe we live in where Jason Kelce and Stevie Nicks are recording songs together! The song we discuss today was so much fun getting into! The cocktails were side car and mai tai inspired. Is Taylor singing about her own life? Is she using fictional narrative to reflect her own personal journey as a “bolter?” Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Ooooooo we did it! I think we did it! We succesfully got through our second of TWO back-to-back episode recordings. Rachel tells a story of her Taylor Swift trivia performance. It wasn't very redemptive. And Sam forgets all about the significance of olives in his Olive Garden cocktail! Speaking of Olive Garden, we go on quite a tangent about why Taylor chose Olive Garden as the restaurant feature of track 6 off Evermore. Rachel has a deep theory that Este and Taylor (narrator) are the same person in this song. "Hear me out," she begs. We're listening, Rachel. This song was so fun to break down and sip cocktails to. We hope you've got one in your hand as you tune in! Check out our "new shit" playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5LOn9LRJ8lnvnCbpl6fKVG?si=2ffe87e075a543f1…

It's starting to get chilly over here at Swift and Swigs. Taylor's first ever vulnerable track 5 had us swigging and swifting over young Taylor's song-writing, and the questionable boys she fell for. But first, we react on-air to the Grammy nominations!!! Some of the nominees did not surprise us. Others certainly did! We are so excited to continue talking about the upcoming Grammys in future episodes leading to the big night on 2/2/25. The "new shit" was actually a grammy nominee and a recurring band that we love to discuss on this podcast! Sam took the easy route with his cocktail, and Rachel took an autumnal and very cold route with hers. Then we start to break down the song that made Taylor so frustrated during her teenaged years. We learn what Taylor valued in a relationship back then and we compare it to her songwriting themes of current songs. The mashup options seemed almost endless for this one!

Before discussing track 4 off of Taylor's latest album, the sibs tackle a popular theory: Debutation! Is Taylor going to release Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) and Reputation (Taylor's Version) at the same time? What are her latest outfits and surprise song choices telling us? Both sibs bring forth the same artist for the "new shit" category. Don't forget you can find our playlist of every song discussed under the new shit segment at the link above! Finally we get to discuss this amazing song that has us both staring at the sky and waving for the metaphorical UFO to beam us up into this soundscape. Jack Antonoff worked miracles with the production for this song and we waste no time discussing our thoughts on it. Taylor was very revealing in this song to her fans, and she certainly calls us out! Is it sad? Yes. Do we want to twerk? Absolutely. "Fuck it I was in love"... with this song!…

New playlist of all the "new shit" we've ever discussed on the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5LOn9LRJ8lnvnCbpl6fKVG?si=124e27a4921a46cb We were so excited to get into another Red song for this episode! But first, we discuss all the excitement of the New Orleans Eras Tour! Including the lengths that Sam went to in order for Rachel to experience the Sabrina Carpenter moment on stage. We also discuss the difficulty that is staying up late, especially for the final show of the Eras Tour in Vancouver. Sam finally secured his ticket to see Coldplay and Aunt Trish (famous Swiggie) gets a special shoutout. The new shit is James Bay (new to Rachel) and Niceboy Ed. We've also FINALLY compiled an entire playlist with every song we've ever mentioned on our "new shit" segment. We will be updating that playlist weekly along with the release of every podcast episode. The cocktails were warm and spiced (ground spices, to be exact). The discussion of the song had us debating the "ooo-ay's" of it all. Sam fathoms what the equivalent of girls spinning in brand new dresses is to men. The movie 10 Things I Hate About You makes yet another apperance. And of course, the significance of the song "Holy Ground" is discussed in full.…

And also what we expect re: Reputation Taylor's Version and the final day of the show in Vancouver. Gracie Abrams and Bon Iver are mentioned in our "new shit" segment. The song of the week tells a "breakup story" that's quite different from anything we've really heard before. Rachel explains to Sam the Gilmore Girls crossover and we both make connections from this song to various rom-coms. Also, can Taylor apply this song to her current relationship with Travis Kelce? Or do we think she can apply this song to the ending of her relationship with Joe Alwyn? She just wants to feel something!…

We bring more mocktail energy this episode before we dig into this powerful TTPD song. Rachel connects Taylor's experience to that of Chappel Roan and Britney Spears. Sam analyzes his relationship with Taylor Swift and why he loves her so much. Is it our responsibilty as fans to stand up to her? We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it!…

Stevie Nicks enters the chat and so does Coldplay, as we discuss the new shit we’ve been listening to.

Both of us bring an artist who’s opened for the Eras Tour as our new shit, but two different musicians. The song we discuss today is incredibly important in the lore behind 1989 Taylor Swift and what she was going through at the time of writing that record.

We try to play a Taylor Swift game and, although we got the end point of it all, it definitely took us a while and a lot of laughts to get there. The new shit is inspired by Beyonce and our familial connection we share with an incredible artist who's worked with her! Then we get into the cocktails which lean heavy into the puns. The song we discuss is one the most ICONIC off of TTPD and, although Taylor's been broken hearted for a lot of her life, this song serves as a reminder that she CAN do it. What is "it?" It's perfoming on the Eras Tour and being the icon that she is, of course!…
