2024/07/26

This is a rerun from April 20, 2023....After 3 weeks apart from podcasting, Sam and Rachel discover there's a lot going on at the moment in the Swift world, so they devote an entire episode to Taylor Tea Time! And at tea time everybody agrees you need to swig on tea....tea cocktails to be precise. The conversation bounces from surprise songs to Swiftie tests to Swift related artists to follow. Sam also introduces a drinking game to play during the Reputation tour show if you want to throw your

Episode 081 - You Are In Love

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2024/07/19

We start this episode off by going on a tangent about friendship bracelets and how we would reimagine the Eras Tour! Rachel has come to terms with the fact that she will (most likely) not be attending the Eras Tour again, but we come to terms with that by realizing that Taylor will certainly be going on tour again in the future. New shit is discussed and we go Norwegian and country with our musical choices. Then we finally get to talking about a mutual FAVORITE Taylor Swift song. Although You Are In

Episode 080 - Me!

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2024/07/12

Okay, say what you want about this song....it's just so silly at its core and it's honestly a whole lot of fun! That said, we certainly don't shy away from offering our fair share of criticism on the lead single off Taylor's Lover album. Sam shares a traumatic experience that he associates with "Me!". Rachel brings up the subject the song might be directed towards. Together, we discuss the puzzling fact that a male vocalist was chosen as a featured artist. Oh! And WHY was

Episode 079 - I Can See You

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2024/07/05

This is one hilarious and slightly unhinged episode! Sam finally admits he has been having recurring dreams of Taylor Swift and he's acutally sooo funny in his dreams. Rachel has an admission of her own: she claims to love Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks, yet doesn't know how to pronounce any of their songs. A fraud yet again. Why does Sam continue to bring up Justin Timberlake on this podcast? The "new shit" discussed ranges from anti-mainstream to mega-mainstream. Then we

With the first leg of the London Eras Tour behind them, the sibs have lots to discuss for the opening of this episode today. Travvy on stage! Paul McCartney! The Royal Family pictured with Prince William! Gracie Abrams! Hayley Williams! Wow....and that's all covered before the cocktails even enter the chat! The song for this episode is sweet, simple, fun, and inspired. Enjoy the best thing that's ever been yours!--- Send in a voice message:

This episode has us RUNNING WITH OUR DRESSES UNBUTTONED because it is SO GOOD! Sam spends the first part of the episode telling Rachel about his experience at the Eras Tour in Scotland. Wild boy, wild Joy!! The sibs then talk about "new shit" they're listening to. Please, please, please stick with us....we've got quite an epic Tortured Poets song to discuss. The cocktails were inspired by Sarahs and Hannahs and running with our dresses unbuttoned. Rachel gives us the spirit, Sam

Episode 076 - Daylight

2024/06/14

The sibs are together again!!! We finally got together after many months apart to record an episode in person, share cocktails, and discuss our love for Taylor. The episode was recorded early in the morning, but that didn't stop us from sipping on some "Daylight" inspired cocktails! Sam has an unpopular opinion on this song that might get him cancelled. Rachel doesn't agree but allows her little brother to "get it off his chest." We had so much fun with this episode!---

Episode 075 - Mr. Perfectly Fine

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2024/06/07

Hello Mr. Perfectly Fine listeners of this podcast! Settle in as we start this episode off with a promised discussion of the rap battle between Kendrick and Drake. It's Taylor-related, after all! Both of us unplannedly deviate away from "Pop Girl Spring" and choose two male singers for our New Shit segment. We dive into the Swift of the week, a Fearless (Taylor's Version) vault track that is most certainly not *not* a bop. The song is fun, witty, and a wee bit angry. A classic

Episode 074 - Nothing New

2024/05/31

This week's song choice was recommended to us by a loyal listener...thanks Courtney! And what a great song choice it is. The episode begins with us attempting to summarize our entire 10-minute conversation that never got recorded. There's talk of Rep TV and Debut TV and our theories on when that will happen. We discuss incredible siblings during our new shit segment. And lastly, we get into the emotional depth of Nothing New, the significance behind Taylor being 22 when she wrote it, and why

Episode 073 - Fortnight

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2024/05/24

This episode starts with Sam sharing some VERY EXCITING NEWS!!!! Let's just say there might be some Scotch whiskey making an appearance in some future cocktails... The song Fortnight is a heavy hitter and probably the most in depth the sibs have ever gone when discussing the spirit of a song. The opening track on Taylor's new album tells quite an interesting story that isn't all that clear. The music video is discussed in length and is absolutely recommended to further understand the

Disclaimer: This episode was recorded BEFORE The Tortured Poets Department was released. The outro was edited AFTER TTPD was released....we promise we're not trying to make it super confusing for everyone.This episode is GORGEOUS *ding* in all the ways. Rachel and Sam choose the same artist for their new shit. Sam struggles through sleep deprivation and pours himself a simple cocktail to cope. Did someone say Max Martin and Shellback? The laughs are plenty in this one! --- Send in a voice

Episode 071 - Paris

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2024/05/10

We had LOTS to talk about in this episode, all before we even got to the song of the week! From the Met Gala, to Charlie Puth, to the 1975, to Gracie Abrams, and of course to the Eras Tour setlist which we are predicting will certainly change for the upcoming show in Paris. Speaking of Paris, we LOVE this song! What a welcome love bop during an otherwise down moment of the whole Midnights album. But wait....is it actually a song about the love that we think it is? Maybe the song is actually terribly

Rachel and Sam are FRESH out the slammer that is Taylor's new album. What can they say....they've been imprisoned by it ever since its release! Never the less, they still have some "new shit" to share, although it's not a far cry from TTPD. Excited to add a new album into the list of songs they discuss on this podcast, the sibs are completely captivated by Fresh Out The Slammer and the tea that it spills on Taylor's emotional affair with Matty Healy. The spirit, the musical mixology, and the Taylor

This episode is Part 1 (of 2??? Maybe more??). While we both agree there is still a lot to process about Taylor's brand new album, we still wanted to get together and share our initial thoughts and reactions. Discussing everything from the sound of the album to the theme and subject matter....there's a lot to unpack here! Part 1 explores the first 15 songs and overall thoughts of the album. Part 2 will be The Anthology, aka the DOUBLE ALBUM! --- Send in a voice message:

Happy Tortured Poets release day Swiggies! We know our podcast won't be the first thing you listen to today, but come back to us and hear our analysis of Dear Reader when you're ready. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised with how we believe Taylor wrote the song to be an intentional gateway to TTPD.

This episode arrives ONE WEEK before the release of Taylor's brand new 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. Rachel and Sam sit down to discuss every single exciting theory and prediction they have about the upcoming album. But first, the sibs talk NEW SHIT, which is iconic this week given how overwhelmed they are with all the new musical releases as of late. When the time comes to discuss theories for Tortured Poets, Rachel and Sam break it down in the same way they would for a

Another exciting episode with a special guest! Natalie and Sam's friendship goes way back, but not as far as Natalie's connection to Taylor Swift's "self-titled" album (aka Debut). As an OG Swiftie, Natalie has a lot to share about how Taylor was influential in her adolescence, which brings about an interesting discussion with Sam and Rachel as the three discuss yet another fun and upbeat track from Taylor's very first studio album.

Episode 065 - Renegade

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2024/03/29

This episode marks the first time we've ever discussed a song not found on a Taylor Swift album! Of course, Renegade was still written by Taylor, however it was featured on an album by Big Red Machine in 2021. Naturally, this prompts quite the discussion as it suggests perhaps Taylor wasn't confident in sharing the story of Renegade as her own. We theorize that Renegade is a deeply personal song to Taylor about her own struggle in a relationship. With themes of anxiety, mental illness, and

In today's episode, Rachel and Sam take a wrong turn and fall down a rabbithole of theories behind Taylor's 1989 track Wonderland. The episode starts with Sam bragging about his recent trip abroad but "it has to do with Taylor Swift," he swears! Together, the sibs are still geeking out over Taylor's decision to mash up songs on the Eras tour. Sam chooses an all-green cocktail and Rachel shows up with a Stanley full of water and an idea.
