135. The Triumphant Return of Max Martin & Shellback: Pop Gods + Talking 'Showgirl' Controversies

Taylor Swift surprised the music and fandom world when she announced that TS12, ‘The Life of a Showgirl’, would be produced exclusively by Max Martin & Shellback. This dynamic pop duo worked with Taylor on albums ‘Red’ through ‘Reputation’, but they have not been seen in her discography since. But they are indisputable hitmakers, so will they take Taylor’s next album to Pop Bible status? Listen in as your hosts talk through Martin & Shellback’s iconic musical histories, including highlighting their collaborations with Taylor herself. Additionally, Dani & Olivia give their takes on the “controversies” already surrounding the new album…and its variants.
