This is it: Taylor Swift's 'Cruel Summer' took place in 2016 when the world turned against her. #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty is the number one trend in the world.

This episode - part one of two - covers the crazy interactions between the two from 2009 to 2015, preparing you for the fallout that would ensue it 2016.

No surprise here: the 'All Too Well Short Film' won the highly coveted Video of the Year award at this year's VMAs! As we near the official end of the Red Taylor's Version Era to move into the Midnights Era, it seems like a good time to break down the short film.

Perhaps one of the most underrated songs on 1989, 'This Love' is a pop-synth-indie ballad about an on again/off again relationship. Often criticized for its simple lyrics, this song is one of 1989's most emotional deep cuts, and one of the few songs from 1989 (Taylor's Version) to be released into the world! Join us as we talk it through, lyric by lyric, finding song parallels and hidden themes.

What do 2012 and 2021 have in common? They both saw the release of the 'Red' album! But in 2012, Taylor was a heartbroken 22-year-old fresh off a devastating relationship. In 2021, Taylor was a confident 31-year-old; so confident, in fact, that she released a 30 song rerecorded album! Listen as we chat through the differences in the albums, their themes, our opinions, and the songs (and hey, one of them is even ten minutes long).

Who was the primary inspiration behind the Grammy winning '1989' album? Olivia & Dani argue that the muse for the songs was none other than Harry Styles. Taylor Swift dated Harry for a few months in 2012, but this catchy album indicates that they had an on again/off again affair that inspired some of the greatest songs of the 2010s. Hear your hosts break it all down as they kick off 'The Muses' series!

How can a person know everything at 18 but nothing at 22? This question is raised throughout the song 'Nothing New,' a folk pop song written by Taylor in 2012 and released in 2021. In this beautiful collaboration with Phoebe Bridgers, we hear confessions of a girl afraid that the world will move on from her since she is no longer a fresh face in the music scene. Olivia & Dani unbox the song line by line in this third installment of the 'Remaining Relevant' series.

Taylor Swift has shown us she is anxious about staying relevant, and the proof is in the music. In 2010, Taylor Swift closed her 'Speak Now' album with an anthem in 'Long Live.' On the surface, it is a fun song to dance to. But if you listen to the lyrics, you hear a confession from a 20-year-old who thinks her career has already peaked. In this episode, Olivia & Dani break down the first of several songs where Taylor shares her concerns about continuing to stay at the forefront of the world of music and culture.
