Abby is 27! X is 10!: An Unhinged Conversation About X by Ed Sheeran

Swiftlore: The Lyrics and Lore of Taylor Swift

Show Notes

Can you believe it's been 10 years since this album dropped and changed our lives? In this episode, we celebrate Abby's 27th birthday while celebrating X's, too. Abby learns that Wikipedia can't be trusted, Cat reflects on her first live performance, and both of us share how no one commits to the bit like our high school. It's a fun one, folks - even if you don't know the album, we assure you that we mostly talk about ourselves as usual🫶

Disclaimer: This album deals with heavy themes such as death, grief, and substance use. While we do not go in depth into these topics, they are mentioned. If you are especially sensitive to those subjects, feel free to come back next week! ♥️

This week, we cover two songs that bookend a love story in a surprisingly heartbreaking way: Gorgeous + Fortnight! FYI, we spend the first fifteen minutes or so talking about how Djo is coming to Rochester (!!!) and also the movie Pavements ... we promise we do stick to Taylor after that. We also have a special clip this week from the lovely Kay, host of The Swacket! We were lucky enough to be guests on her podcast a few weeks ago, and now she is returning the favor for us. Find The Swacket anywhere you stream podcasts, or give her a follow on Instagram @theswacket! PS: I cannot believe we got through this entire episode without talking about how Freakier Friday is currently in theaters, and also how in the OG Freaky Friday Lindsay Lohan's character notoriously says "YOU'RE RUINING MY LIFE-A!!" The girls that get it, get it. - Follow us on Instagram or TikTok @swiftlorepod for clips, polls, and other fun things. To join our ⁠Patreon⁠, subscribe at https://www.patreon.com/SwiftlorePodcast.
