The time has finally come for us to discuss one of Sam's favorite songs, and a song that Rachel has been curious by since its release almost five years ago. We don the cowboy hats and the swindling charm for this one! But first, Rachel does a live on-air taste-testing of Squashies, Taylor Swift's supposed favorite candy. What's the consensus? Tune in to find out! Rachel really surprised Sam by choosing Justin Bieber as her new shit this week. And Sam surprised Rachel by not choosing

Episode 123 - Tim McGraw

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2025/07/11

We are FINALLY breaking down and pairing cocktails to Taylor Swift's FIRST EVER SONG ever released. This song, unlike a few others that we've discussed off the debut album, is quite meaningful and full of poignant lyrics. Its choice to be Taylor's first ever lead single was interesting, but also quite brilliant. Surprise surprise….we BOTH chose Tim McGraw (the actual artist, not the song. Confusing, we know) as our “new shit” this week. It’s classic country and sometimes that’s cringey to Sam, but

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2025/07/04

Happy fourth of July from your fellow Americans! And in honor of this momentuous occasion, we have chosen one truly all-American Taylor Swift song to pair cocktails to and discuss. Boy do we love a good ol' sappy Taylor Swift love song! But So High School is way more than sappy love, it's reminiscent of a time we've all experienced, or maybe some who are currently experiencing: teenage giddiness! Taylor certainly shows that giddiness on this lovely track, whose sound we are absolutely

2025/06/13

We had some techincal issues with our audio this week! Sorry for the lesser quality, but hopefully you forgive us.

2025/06/06

In today's episode, we celebrate Taylor Swift and her purchasing of her masters!!! Buckle in, because we spend the entire first half of the episode discussing this historical moment in musical history. Naturally, we were shocked and almost let down when we first discovered she may not be recoriding Reputation (Taylor's Version), but the more we understood and discussed, the happier we became for Taylor. We couldn't be more proud of her! Speaking of Reputation, it's been well over a

Even though this is Rachel's birthday episode, Sam finds a way to make it about him. Classic little brother move. How did it take us 112 episodes to finally break down one of our most favorite tracks from folklore? All we know is it was worth the wait. The spirit and lore and TWIST of it all for this song made this one of the more fun episodes we've discussed in a while. Of course, we couldn't just dive into the song right away. We had to spill some Taylor Tea.... Sam insists on going

Rachel has deemed this the "wackiest" episode ever, and she's not wrong. We hop around from topic to topic, with no particular order connecting them. We waste no time and get right into our "new shit," with Sam acknowledging he made a mistake by forgetting to mention Lady Gaga's upcoming album! The song of the week had us scratching our heads. What exactly is the spirit of I Think He Knows? We land on it having to do with confidence, whether that's confidence by
