We start this episode by sharing our Halloween plans and costumes. Taylor Swift themed costume ideas, anyone?? Rachel's new shit is one of her all-time favorites: Brandi Carlisle! And Sam is trying to dig deep into new/upcoming artists flying under the radar. Pop boy fall maybe?As for the song of the week, it was only fitting to follow up last week's "Father Figure" discussion with the original song that shed light on how Taylor felt about the selling of her masters behind her

In today's episode, we break down a song that we both deem is one of the most important ones of Taylor's career.

We are back and ready to talk about The Life of a Showgirl, the song! Sam finds himself in the perfect setting for this song: Fabulous Las Vegas, surrounded my showgirls, sequins, feathers, and lights. And we get to have a live reaction to Taylor's big Docuseries news on this episode! We are so excited for that and can't wait to break down our thoughts when the series is released.

2025/10/16

Four days after the album came out, we decided to meet up and record our thoughts on how the album had been sitting with us. Spoiler alert: Our opinions are quite different! But we listen and we don't judge, right? Also, it just needs to be said, the four-day-in listening experience is very likely to change, so stay tuned for continued changing opinions and updates as our podcast progresses in this new era.

2025/10/10

The Life of a Showgirl is here!!! This was our first time recording a live reaction to an album and sharing it with you. It was chaotic and thrilling and we hope you feel the same giddiness with us as you did when you first heard the album. Sam dealt with some internet issues on his end, so unfortunately we didn't capture our reaction to "Cancelled!," but all the other OMG moments of this album were certainly covered. Now that our reactions are out, our next episode will be us sitting

Episode 132 - Our Predictions for The Life of a Showgirl

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2025/09/26

Naturally we're a bit unhinged in this episode because we truly don't have a clue what this album is going to sound or feel like. We're just going off vibes and hopes at this point, and it's so much fun! We could be completely off base which will only be cause for laughter once the album finally arrives. Either way, we are thrilled, excited, elated, overwhelmed, nervous, ALL THE THINGS! Share with us your thoughts on today's episode by sending an email to

Episode 131 - The Prophecy

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2025/09/19

We can't help but think about when Taylor wrote this song. Rachel believes Taylor wrote it from a perspective of a healed wound, but Sam wonders if she wrote this out of pure sadness in the moment of utter disappointment. Either way, we're so relieved to know she's out of the funk and we're grateful for this beautful song that brings all the feels.

It's a new soundtrack and we can DEFINITELY dance to this beat.....CONGRATS TAYLOR AND TRAVIS! We sat down to record this episode just moments after the news broke of their engagement. As you can imagine, chaos ensues!There is so much to discuss with Taylor Swift these days, and although we are disctracted by the epic news, we focus on the opening track of 1989. A song that Sam is not fond of, but one that Rachel really enjoys. The freedom that Taylor feels in this song is quite contagious. But we

2025/08/15

Okay, so we recorded this episode on Monday, August 11, 2025. Mere HOURS before we received the official announcement about TS12, The Life of a Showgirl. What that means is you get to hear us freak out over the possibilities of a potential album release. What made this episode EXTRA fun, was midway through recording we learned a countdown had been placed on Taylor's website. Naturally, chaos ensued.It's great to be back after our summer break! Suburban Legends is a bit of a head scratcher

12 exclamation marks just isn't enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!We present to you a very chaotic, unplanned, and unedited episode of our podcast. Obviously Taylor has MOVED and we have a new album on the way! But Sam was too busy to catch what was going on. So Rachel gets to reveal to him all that Taylor revealed on the New Heights podcast.

It's time to break down and pair cocktails to the title track of one of our favorite albums of all time....THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT!!!

The time has finally come for us to discuss one of Sam's favorite songs, and a song that Rachel has been curious by since its release almost five years ago. We don the cowboy hats and the swindling charm for this one! But first, Rachel does a live on-air taste-testing of Squashies, Taylor Swift's supposed favorite candy. What's the consensus? Tune in to find out! Rachel really surprised Sam by choosing Justin Bieber as her new shit this week. And Sam surprised Rachel by not choosing

Episode 123 - Tim McGraw

Swift and Swigs with Sibs ·

2025/07/11

We are FINALLY breaking down and pairing cocktails to Taylor Swift's FIRST EVER SONG ever released. This song, unlike a few others that we've discussed off the debut album, is quite meaningful and full of poignant lyrics. Its choice to be Taylor's first ever lead single was interesting, but also quite brilliant. Surprise surprise….we BOTH chose Tim McGraw (the actual artist, not the song. Confusing, we know) as our “new shit” this week. It’s classic country and sometimes that’s cringey to Sam, but

Happy fourth of July from your fellow Americans! And in honor of this momentuous occasion, we have chosen one truly all-American Taylor Swift song to pair cocktails to and discuss. Boy do we love a good ol' sappy Taylor Swift love song! But So High School is way more than sappy love, it's reminiscent of a time we've all experienced, or maybe some who are currently experiencing: teenage giddiness! Taylor certainly shows that giddiness on this lovely track, whose sound we are absolutely

In all seriousness though......wait a minute, this episode is meant to be fun! Who's talking about being serious? Just do as Taylor does and SHAKE IT OFF!

2025/06/13

We had some techincal issues with our audio this week! Sorry for the lesser quality, but hopefully you forgive us. After all, we're only 119 episodes in to this podcast, so we're still working out the kinks....right? Do you believe us know? Or are you oh so quiet? We found this song to be absolutely worthy of an episode, especially following Taylor Swift's purchasing of her masters last week.
