Swiftlore: The Lyrics and Lore of Taylor Swift

We are back with a weather themed episode! This week, we break down two songs that involve weather: Snow on the Beach + Come in with the Rain! We don't have TOO much to say about the songs, so we go on a lot of tangents. But hey, such is life. #heyjellybean #teamconrad #auroraboreanaz

Can you believe it's been one year since The Tortured Poets Department dropped? To celebrate, we talk about two songs where Taylor addresses those who have wronged her: The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived + thanK you aIMee! While we spend a lot of the episode raging, we end on a quite wholesome note about believing in yourself. So, check it out and hope you enjoy!

This week, we cover two songs that incorporate exclamation points: "Slut!" + Florida!!! As it turns out, these two have a bit more in common than punctuation. Sometimes, you just have to lean into what people say about you and run toward what sparks joy - whether that be love or a timeshare back in Destin.

Abby is sick this week (womp womp), which means it's an extra special Zoom recording! This episode, we talk about songs that consider the age old question, "should I get back with my ex?": HYGTG + The Other Side of the Door! We also provide some alternative ideas for what to throw at people's windows, and give genuinely authentic advice about the importance of telling people what you really want. Enjoy!

Well. Abby may have come up with it, but you all voted for it!

This week, we talk about two songs tangentially related (?) to the Pixar film, Ratatouille: Paris + IDSB! Honestly, we say "ratatatatatatata" a LOT less than either of us expected. Cat talks about the many injuries and illnesses she's sustained and recovered from with the power of edamame, Abby talks about her three days in Paris where she almost died multi...

WOW. We absolutely adored speaking with writer, poet, and fellow Swiftie Britton Rae! In this episode, we talk about our eras tour experiences, Taylor Swift tattoos, the power of community, the psychology behind writing/storytelling, and the time Britton almost met Taylor Swift and accidentally started a movement in a Target. Enjoy!!

Note: The audio for the intro/outro is a little strange because of a tech issue but the intervie...

It's a late night recording, folks, and you know what that means! This week, we talk about two songs that mention movies: exile + If This Was a Movie. Please forgive the chaos that ensues.

This week, we dive into two songs about a woman seducing and/or destroying men: imgonnagetyouback + Blank Space! Taylor clearly had a lot of fun writing these, and we have just as much fun breaking them down. The characters may be toxic, but ... a bop's a bop!

We're back on the deep-dive grind this week with the track fives from Debut and Reputation: Cold As You and Delicate! We talk about how much we love our animals, mourn TikTok being shut down RIGHT when Abby got back online, and discuss how this is the last episode before The Eras Tour is officially over.
