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

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

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

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?

We also discuss the difficulty that is staying up late, especially for the final show of the Eras Tour in

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

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

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

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!

Don't you worry folks, this is NOT a sad episode. In fact, it starts out rather happy and gave us an opportunity to catch up on the things that we've been wanting to discuss before Taylor rudely interrupted us with her Eras Tour performances. Rachel has an idea for Taylor to create a docu-series about the Eras Tour. Sam ties in several Creed moments that we're pretty sure only we will enjoy. We get into our "New Shit" segment with a podcast first: a podcast! Then we introduce

The moment has finally arrived for us to discuss Sam’s favorite song off TTPD!! Or should we say….Sage’s favorite song?! Taylor has broken her silence about Vienna and given us behind the scenes clips from the Eras Tour! Is this just a teaser, or will there be more footage and a potential documentary? Rachel thinks she shares the same “new shit” with her brother this week, but Sam shocks her with a new artist (yet also an Eras Tour opener like Sabrina). The cocktails were funny and a bit rogue, but

We process what we hear and develop some theories over Taylor’s upcoming plans to release (or not release) an upcoming album. Rachel cries. Then we dive into our new shit and discuss the same album, different songs. Post Malone is really doing something with his new country album! The song of the week inspired us both

Hey Swiggies, what if we told you we’re back?!!! After our three week break, we couldn’t think of a better song to continue our summer of Taylor, cocktails, and podcasting. The song “seven” is one that invoked lots of discussion, but not before we dove into ALL the Taylor Tea we’ve been wanting to catch up on over the past few weeks. We share our thoughts on Vienna, London, and Taylor’s questionable fashion sense. Then we dive into the new music we’ve been listening to as of late. Pop boy fall is

This is a rerun from June 9, 2023....Sam and Rachel don’t waste a lot of time on Taylor Tea in the beginning of this episode as they are excited to get into the lyrics of the latest streaming release of a Midnights track from the Till Dawn Edition, “Hits Different.” They both admit to first washing their hands of this song when it came out because they thought that if it was right to listen to then Taylor would have released it right away on streaming. But after careful listen they know now

Sam and Rachel discuss the fan favorite “You Belong With Me.” After passing notes back and forth about Era’s Tour Secret Songs, they discuss the influence of this song in main stream pop.
