This episode is Part 1 (of 2??? Maybe more??).

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.

Episode 067 - Taylor Tea Time ~ The Tortured Poets...

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2024/04/12

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. Natalie tries her hand at cocktail

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

2024/03/22

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.

Get out some popcorn and listen as we go down down down into the opening track of the Lover album! We start the episode by discussing the superiorness that is Taylor mashing up songs during the Eras tour, and then we introduce a new tradition that we'll be starting after discussing each song on our episodes. Sam struggles to pronounce the word "colloquially," Rachel fathoms who the song really is about, and together they sip on cocktails and discuss the meaning behind the song that

2024/03/08

We finally hit another track 5, and a MUCH anticipated one at that! In this episode, Sam put aside his love for John Mayer and Rachel put aside her aversion to him so that they could simply listen to Taylor’s story. And wow - what a story! Full of heartfelt lyrics, emotional vocal deliveries, and quite the tea ☕️, Dear John is truly one of her best songs ever written.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/swift-and-swigs-with-sibs/message

2024/03/01

Sam and Rachel open the episode with the sports highlights of Taylor’s first superbowl win. They go back and forth asking themselves “why” or more like “how did this happen?” But alas they realize they should’ve just stuck to music, like analyzing their next track from Taylor’s debut album about making choices: “Should’ve Said No.” After cringing a bit over some of the lyrics and stage performance choices, they make interesting connections between this song and the folklore era.

Somehow we've reached 60 episodes on our podcast and it's quite hard to believe. Did you know we were trouble when you first started listening? While Rachel and Sam are still reeling and buzzing over the recent Grammy's night, Taylor is jetting off to perform her first shows of 2024 in Japan! The song for this episode, though iconic, is far from our favorite. But oh what fun it is to theorize on the subject! We break down the music video which is REQUIRED material before listening to our

Well we never saw it coming....our sister Emily (aka the other sib) is rapidly becoming a Swiftie! And although she's never listened to an episode of SSS before, she wanted to be a part of the fun this week and so chose Love Story as the song for her featured episode. Finally all three sibs have come together to share cocktails, laughs, and theories about one of Taylor Swift's most famous songs!

In the days leading up to the Super Bowl where Taylor Swift's boyfriend and his work colleagues will be performing their own version of a 2023/2024 Eras Tour, we chose a song to pump them up and get ready for the big game!

Welcome to Episode 57, where we don't quite know what to say but we're here in your speakers just wanting you to know....THIS IS US TRYING! After discussions about Rachel attending a Taylor Swift writing class, Sam being in his post-vacation glow, and the Grammy's, we touch upon some new shit (hello Barney the Dinosaur?). Then we delve into what Sam claims is "one of Taylor Swift's most meaningful songs she's ever written." There are theories about the origin and the

This podcast episode might be "weird but fucking beautiful," however our flight to get us here was not awful....thanks for asking. Snow On The Beach has Sam scratching his head over the lyrics and their meaning, while Rachel is confident in its origin being based in Taylor falling in love with Joe. We make ties to Delicate and, naturally, Janet Jackson's 2001 hit "All For You." Are we falling like snow at the beach, or snow ON the beach? You decide! --- Send in a voice

We were feeling quite Bouncy! in this episode, and we think you'll feel that way too! Anyone have any bouncy exercise balls you want to donate to us?! Somehow we tied this Fearless track to "New Year's Day" and "Gold Rush," but the bounce keeps us grounded throughout the episode. The cocktails were, let's just say, "shiney."

Just like episode 1, we pair cocktails and discuss "Getaway Car;" however, this time we go into great detail about why this is one of our most favorite Taylor Swift songs of all time! The setting: our parents' house, specifically the back bedroom where Grandma sleeps. The cocktails: well, we won't give away ALL the spoilers.... Thanks for making our first

Together, these seven Swifties gathered around a table on Christmas day with Taylor Swift cheering on the Chiefs in the background. The challenge: individually draft the ultimate Taylor Swift song list, choosing only FIVE songs that no one else has already selected for their own list.

HNY from SSS! Taylor really changes up the Reputation sound with this superior album-closing track. Spoiler alert: Rachel cries. The sibs each choose a New Year's song to discuss for their "New Shit," and they giggle over Sabrina Carpenter's innuendos. Once again, slight tension is felt in this supposed love song about Joe.
