#63 Haunted

Secret Session: A Taylor Swift Podcast ·

2023/11/01

Happy spooky season 🎃 For our Halloween episode, we decided to talk about the song Haunted. Here Taylor finds herself in the scary (and spooky) limbo between the break down and the break up of a relationship. The end is coming, but still, something keeps her holding on to nothing.

#61 Maroon

Secret Session: A Taylor Swift Podcast ·

2023/10/18

Last week we talked about how everything inside Taylor's head used to be burning red, but today, she's able to see how it all was so much darker, more like maroon.

2023/10/11

Sometimes words aren't enough to describe what you're feeling. Sometimes we feel those red emotions, that are like a fire: they can keep you warm, but they can burn you.

#59 Blank Space

Secret Session: A Taylor Swift Podcast ·

2023/10/04

It’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) release month! And we wanted to celebrate by talking about arguably one of Taylor’s biggest songs and also one of those songs that defined our teenage years. With this one, she took the image that the media was painting of her and she played with this character in a pretty smart way. Noelle's dog wanted to talk about this song too, so you'll hear her here and there. We promise she's fine! Support us on ⁠Ko-Fi⁠! You can find us here: Instagram:

#58 Nothing New

Secret Session: A Taylor Swift Podcast ·

2023/09/27

A song sung by both Taylor Swift and Phoebe Bridgers feels like a dream, but it’s real and it’s called Nothing New. This one is a reflective one, where Taylor opened up about being scared of the future and about the fear of losing relevance. And yes, Taylor, we still want you, 17 years after your debut. P.S. Happy Red (Taylor's Version) season! 🍂 Support us on ⁠Ko-Fi⁠! You can find us here: Instagram: @secretsessionpodcast_ ⁠TikTok⁠: @secretsessionpodcast ⁠Twitter⁠:

#57 Castles Crumbling

Secret Session: A Taylor Swift Podcast ·

2023/09/20

After the one that we called “the shitty event” in last week’s episode, Taylor felt like she was losing the support of those who were once her fans. There was a lot of self doubt, accompanied by a certain level of helplessness and hopelessness. Luckily, her empire is still up and she's the Queen of our hearts.

2023/07/19

It was time to talk about a song from Fearless TV! How is this one connected to Last Kiss? Here Taylor was dealing with the breaking down of a relationship and she was angry (throwing chairs and stuff). Because he said "forever and always", but no, he didn't mean it. Support us on ⁠Ko-Fi⁠!

Taylor was kind enough to announce the European dates of The Eras Tour when we were recording this episode! We hope good Karma will be by our side when we'll try to buy the tickets.
