Episode 105 - Guilty as Sin

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2025/02/28

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

Episode 104 - Bad Blood

2025/02/21

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

Episode 103 - Today Was A Fairytale

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2025/02/14

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

Episode 102 - So Long, London w/ Special Guest Sarah...

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2025/02/07

Episode 2 of Season 3 and we are trucking along with all new guest stars. This week, we are so happy to have Sarah Langan join us for her choice of "So Long, London!" 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

Episode 101 - Begin Again

2025/01/31

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:

Episode 100 - All Too Well (10 Minute Version)

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2024/12/20

100! Episodes! Can you believe it? Sam brought the noisemakers and decorations, Rachel brought the groans that accompany it. 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. Rachel confesses All Too Well (10) is her most favorite

Episode 099 - Christmas Must Be Something More

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

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

Turns out we’re not okay with the Eras Tour coming to an end….but wouldn’t you know, Sam got his hands on the exclusive Eras Tour Book and you better believe we dive into it! And then we tap into the ultimate Taylor-On-Tour song! How are we crying already?! The way she took the meaning of this song from her band to her producer to us…the fans…! Wow, we are beyond words. Yet we still manage to pair some delicious cocktails and find the depth behind these meaningful lyrics. Now how do you beat the

Episode 097 - The Bolter

This episode begins with a very sad Sam. We discuss the ending of the Eras Tour and how it's finally hitting us! What is Taylor planning for the Vancouver shows? What does her countdown mean? Rachel gets into the holiday spirit with her new shit this week. What a crazy Swiftie universe we live in where Jason Kelce and Stevie Nicks are recording songs together! The song we discuss today was so much fun getting into! The cocktails were side car and mai tai inspired. Is Taylor singing about her own

2024/11/22

Ooooooo we did it! I think we did it! We succesfully got through our second of TWO back-to-back episode recordings. Rachel tells a story of her Taylor Swift trivia performance. It wasn't very redemptive. And Sam forgets all about the significance of olives in his Olive Garden cocktail! Speaking of Olive Garden, we go on quite a tangent about why Taylor chose Olive Garden as the restaurant feature of track 6 off Evermore. Rachel has a deep theory that Este and Taylor (narrator) are the same person in

Episode 095 - Cold As You

It's starting to get chilly over here at Swift and Swigs. Taylor's first ever vulnerable track 5 had us swigging and swifting over young Taylor's song-writing, and the questionable boys she fell for. But first, we react on-air to the Grammy nominations!!! Some of the nominees did not surprise us. Others certainly did! We are so excited to continue talking about the upcoming Grammys in future episodes leading to the big night on 2/2/25. The "new shit" was actually a grammy nominee and a recurring

Before discussing track 4 off of Taylor's latest album, the sibs tackle a popular theory: Debutation! Is Taylor going to release Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) and Reputation (Taylor's Version) at the same time? What are her latest outfits and surprise song choices telling us?

In this week's episode, we revisit Taylor's sophomore album, Fearless! But first, we discuss the new Eras Tour Book and the changes our girl Taylor has recently made to the eras tour after her stint in Miami. And also what we expect re: Reputation Taylor's Version and the final day of the show in Vancouver. Gracie Abrams and Bon Iver are mentioned in our "new shit" segment. The song of the week tells a "breakup story" that's quite different from anything we've really heard before. Rachel explains to

Well, well, well. Taylor Swift, you have EVERY reason to be mad in this song. We hear you and we empathize with you! But first, we discuss our thoughts on the upcoming leg of the Eras Tour. Will the setlist change? Songs added/removed? Are we clowning for Reputation Taylor's Version? We inch ever closer to our 100th episode and we drop a little hint that something exciting will happen. We bring more mocktail energy this episode before we dig into this powerful TTPD song. Rachel connects Taylor's

Sam was feeling nostalgic after coming off the 89th episode, so he chose a song that documents Taylor's struggles throughout her life! The episode begins with acknowledging that we’re still in a quiet Taylor era, but at least we got some glitter freckles out of her recent appearance at the Chiefs game! Stevie Nicks enters the chat and so does Coldplay, as we discuss the new shit we’ve been listening to. Sam reveals he’s taking part in “Sober October,” so mocktails are the name of the game moving

Episode 089 - Is It Over Now?

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2024/10/04

It's our 89th episode, and that means we HAD to commemorate the occasion with a song from 1989 (Taylor's Version)! We ramble for quite a bit at the beginning, but it’s productive rambling, we swear! Both of us bring an artist who’s opened for the Eras Tour as our new shit, but two different musicians. The song we discuss today is incredibly important in the lore behind 1989 Taylor Swift and what she was going through at the time of writing that record. Harry Styles, are you still thinking about her

Episode 088 - I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

2024/09/27

Another quiet week in the Taylor Swift world means the intro to our podcast is now a game show! We try to play a Taylor Swift game and, although we got the end point of it all, it definitely took us a while and a lot of laughts to get there. The new shit is inspired by Beyonce and our familial connection we share with an incredible artist who's worked with her! Then we get into the cocktails which lean heavy into the puns. The song we discuss is one the most ICONIC off of TTPD and, although Taylor's

2024/09/20

Well, the day has finally come for the sibs to tackle a song that they collectively DO NOT enjoy. In fact, Sam goes so far as to say this is his "least favorite" Taylor Swift song of all time. Does that stop us from having a good time? Absolutely not! The Taylor Tea discussed goes into detail about what Taylor and Travis were doing (and drinking...easter egg) at the US Open. And Taylor's encouragement to research and vote in the upcoming election was inspiring and genius. Does anyone know what

Episode 086 - marjorie

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2024/09/13

This episode was recorded in our cabin purchased by our Grandmother, so what better song to choose than "marjorie!" Though it was emotional for both of us, we felt so satisfied getting to share stories of our grandmothers as we discuss the song where Taylor reflects on her own grandmother, Marjorie. The cocktails were inspired by our Granny and Grandma, and the sounds of our family cabin provided a nice backdrop. Call your grandma and tell her you love her!
