We Need to Talk About the 2026 VMAs

Evolution of a Snake: The Taylor Swift Fan Podcast ·

2026/10/01

Here we are again...at the most culturally irrelevant pop culture awards show! This year's VMA was, unsurprisingly, a snooze fest. And yet it was the highest rated show in years. Go figure. We get into all the winners and snubbed divas of the evening, including: Lisa, Madonna, Slayyyter, Pink Pantheress, Zara Larsson...and of course, a review and reaction to Taylor Swift's new music video for Patient Zero. Enjoy!

Taylor Swift has released the deluxe version of The Life of a Showgirl, called The Encore, and we’re here to decode it for you. Four new tracks: Patient Zero, Pink Clouding, Cleveland!, and Babylon have entered the canon and we have thoughts about all of it: from the male-centered allegations, to the bizarre tone of…anger…and the desire to clap back at the haters, both real and imagined.

This week on Evolution of a Snake we're doing the FULL autopsy of The Diva at the VMAs. From baby yeehaw Taylor on correspondent duty in 2008 to Kanye grabbing that mic in 2009 and rewiring her entire career, the painfully passive-aggressive Innocent era in 2010, the Red bangs relaunch in 2012, the Harry Styles revenge speech in 2013, that CURSED Shake It Off performance in 2014, the Nicki Minaj feud and Bad Blood sweep in 2015, the Lover overload in 2019, hijacking the show to announce Midnights in

Every Time Taylor Swift 'Lost', She Actually Won

Evolution of a Snake: The Taylor Swift Fan Podcast ·

2026/09/10

Every pop career looks inevitable in hindsight, and Taylor Swift's more than anyone's. Except almost none of it was. In this episode, we revisit Taylor Swift’s true sliding door moments (we like to call it the butterfly effect) where one different call could’ve altered her entire legacy. The breakups, album rollouts, feuds…we address all of it! Thankfully for Taylor, nearly every terrible thing that’s happened to her has only gone on to fuel the machine she is now. There’s no snake without the phone

What Everyone Missed in Taylor Swift's Grammy Interview

We’re putting our minds together to analyze every scrap of detail and information Taylor Swift has given in this ICONIC Grammy’s interview. After a week of investigating, we’re ready to share our conclusions which are: DEBUT (TAYLOR’S VERSION) IS COMING!! And a potential, wider return to country music is most certainly on the cards.

We Were Wrong About Lover. Here’s The Reckoning.

2026/08/27

7 years ago, Taylor Swift released what we assumed was the low quality of her career: a sprawling, twinkly, bleep-blooping record with an expansive thesis statement. This is all about everything that I love…from my boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, who won’t talk to me, to my mother, to my friends, to the gays, and also one thing I really hate: the political climate. Taylor’s turn towards “activism” made for some humiliating marketing faux pas with ME!, You Need To Calm Down, and Only The Young…but there’s

This week we're reading The Power of Taylor Swift through 2026 eyes: her #THISISWHATAFEMINISTLOOKSLIKE era, 1989, and her move to New York City. This is lowkey the moment where she learned to make her life a product in a totally different way. Welcome back to TayRewind!

We rebuild the 2010 timeline: the sudden PDA, the tabloid ambush, the age-gap commentary, and the decade it took for the fallout to turn into a ten-minute song. There are also many

We opened the hotline for your most unpopular opinions on the new Gracie Abrams, Ariana Grande, and Charli XCX records, and you did not hold back. We're getting into why "gifted songwriter" might be the most overused compliment in pop right now, whether Ariana's era is giving main pop girl or giving cosplay, and the uncomfortable stat that Charli XCX got outsold by Morgan Wallen. This was a truly LOCA episode!! But the townspeople have spoken...

Welcome back to another episode of TayRewind where we dive into the lost lore of Taylor Swift’s past and recontextualize it today! In 2015, Taylor Swift sat down for one of the most revealing interviews of her career…and then never did anything like it again. This is the GQ interview where she admitted she planted a rumor about Bad Blood, told us exactly how she thinks about her career and image, and said out loud that yes, she IS calculating.

Taylor Swift got married at Madison Square Garden and, somehow, the AMC CEO became our main correspondent for the “wedding of the century.” In this episode, we piece together the night from leaks, fan videos, and unhinged eyewitnesses: the peach-draped entryway and TT logo, the fake “garden” inside an arena, Taylor walking a bridge to a Love Story string arrangement, Adam Sandler officiating and allegedly singing, Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks performing, and a thousand-person guest list that

Taylor Swift just gave the most revealing speech of her career. Naturally, we had to spend an hour talking about it. On June 11, 2026, Taylor became the youngest woman ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame at just 36 years old. Not only is it a massive career milestone, but the speech itself felt unusually personal, reflective, and intentional.This week, we're going through it line by line: why she chose Steven Spielberg to introduce her, what that choice says about the way she views her
