Show Notes

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

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. There’s major tea on the label battles she faced with 1989, how the 2013 internet hate campaign broke something in her, right on the precipice of Snakegate. It’s the last time she’s let a journalist interpret her like this, so of course we’re diving in

20 years ago, the greatest debut album of all time was ever made: Taylor Swift’s, Taylor Swift, 2006. It was a historic first step in a new leap for womankind.

In today's episode, we're Patient Zeroing in on Taylor Swift's new deluxe version of The Life of a Showgirl. It's titled "The Encore" and we sure hope that means this is the end of the road for the era...on the agenda today: is this just boring millennial pop for white women? Is the songwriting lazy?

With the addition of Showgirl: The Encore, we now have four new deluxe tracks to add into the canon of Taylor Swift songs that didn't make it to the album, but aren't one off singles or vault songs. We were inspired by Billboard's uninspired ranking of the same material, to give the Swiftie perspective on how these new songs rank compared to their sisters, while taking a walk down memory lane. Enjoy!

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. We are always keeping it real.
