Show Notes
What? A whole episode not about folklore? The treachery of it all. This week we decide to take a short break from talking about folklore to do an episode we’ve had requests for, breaking down and ranking Taylor’s Bonus Tracks. The girl has been busy making sure we have plenty of extra songs to devour on each of her albums (save for two… you know who you are) and it’s about time we gave them some love.
Also, per the queen herself, please take the time to ensure that you are registered to vote and check out the list of resources Taylor made here: https://taylor.lnk.to/vote.
More from We Need to Calm Down: a Taylor Swift Podcast
Taylor Swift has released over 150 tracks, and over 55 singles, but were there any singles she should have released but didn't (duh), we take a deep dive into Taylor's history with singles, and what were her biggest snubs and oddest choices for her releases. We go album by album and discuss the biggest songs that we think should have been singles and also the songs that... we really question.
It has been a hot minute since we've dived deep into a track. With Taylor news slowing down we decided to jump right back into our Evermore song breakdowns, hitting the 9th Track 5!
This week we jump headfirst into Fearless (Taylor's Version) and rank every song on the album (and the From the Vault songs). We peel back what made us love them, and whether or not the new versions bumped a few songs up, or took a few down.
Sorry 2021, it's 2008 now. Taylor Swift released the first of her re-recorded albums, Fearless (Taylor's Version), along with six new songs From the Vault. In this episode, we discuss the overall feel of the album, go through our reactions to each track, and update our predictions for future re-records.
