Welcome back for Season 2 of Taylearning! Today, your hosts are chatting about Taylor's longest romantic relationship prior to Joe Alwyn- Calvin Harris. The pair "officially" dated from March of 2015 - June of 2016, so why aren't there more songs about him? Where was Taylor on April 29th? Why did they split? We answer all of these questions and more in this hefty season premiere episode.

This fun episode also acts as the Season One Finale- we will see you again in January of 2023!

"Polished pop perfection" was achieved in 2015 when Taylor Swift embarked on her award-winning 1989 World Tour.
