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

In this week's episode, we play some games!!! Any by games, we mean Buzzfeed quizzes for Swifties. Let's find out where we're going on vacation! But first, we had to discuss the iHeart Radio Music Awards! Is this the end of awards season? We both chose the same song to discuss for our "new shit" segment, and boy are we into it! The song we discuss this week was different than any other one we've done before. Taylor was inspired to write this song not based on events she's experienced in her own life

We’re getting excited for an upcoming potential Taylor Swift appearance at the iHeart Radio Music Awards! Sam is adamant that he won’t be clowning for anything, but that doesn’t mean we both won’t be watching with anticipation! The episode goes off on a bit of a tangent about Taylor’s style and who exactly is behind her fashion choices. Then we discuss Travis Kelce’s potential retirement and what that may look like for us Swifties. Our New Shit segment had us both talking about the same album and

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

We're not blushing.....YOU'RE blushing. Okay, so we're blushing a little bit. But this song just goes there! So, naturally, we do too. Maybe it's a little weird for two sibs to be talking about self love, but Taylor doesn't shy away from it so why should we? This song is SO much more than that, however. And we explore it all. But first, we discuss an upcoming plan for some future special episodes on our podcast. If you have any thoughts on previous episodes that you'd like to

This is one juicy episode! We start by exchanging Taylor Swift-themed food puns and scavenger hunt ideas. And although hilarious, Tay Tay, we're begging you, give us something to discuss! We both blow eachother's minds when we discuss our new shit. Sam gives a special shoutout, and Rachel waffles before finally settling on the new shit she was meant to discuss. Dolly Parton meets modern pop? Hell yeah! The cocktails come into play and Sam gets angry at Rachel for stealing his title. Which

Happy Valentine's Day! We hope this episode brings you life, laughter, and love. Taylor certainly brings those things with the song "Today Was A Fairytale." We discuss that song in its entirety, and we drink some bubbly and princessy cocktails, but not before discussing in length ALL the details of the past week. The Grammy's were a huge highlight of our year so far. And the Superbowl, although the game was quite boring, brought lots of discussion in the form of Taylor's appearance and Kendrick

Sarah and Sam have been friends for a few years and have bonded over Taylor Swift many times over cocktails. What better guest to have on a podcast about Taylor Swift and cocktails? We take time to hear Sarah's Swiftie story and why "So Long, London" was Sarah's #1 song on Spotify last year. Thank you, Sarah (and Taylor), for sharing

We are back after a 6-week break and we are now entering season 3! Surprisingly, there wasn't too much Taylor content to catch up on, except for more potential Reputation TV clowning. Sam swears he's done clowning...but what exactly is the internet saying? And why has Taylor removed that album from her Spotify? As we approach the Grammy's, it's important we discuss new artists and songs that we are excited about. Be sure to tune into our "new shit" playlist:

Just kidding.....we're both so incredibly proud of this podcast and we want to say a special THANK YOU to everyone for tuning in week after week. This podcast would never have reached 100 episodes if it weren't for you...so thank you!Of course, we had to choose *the* best song to discuss for this momentuous occasion.

Episode 099 - Christmas Must Be Something More

2024/12/13

Well, the Eras Tour is over and Taylor has left us nearly speechless. In part because we are forever in awe over how special the Eras Tour was, in other part because we are deeply shocked and surprised that Vancouver was the most regular weekend ever. Sam isn't mad that Taylor didn't announce anything, he's just upset that she knowingly led us to believe we should clown for something. Either way, we spend a good portion of this episode discussing our thoughts on what it means now that the Eras Tour
