Show Notes
A new album means we start from the beginning with our song breakdowns! Willow is first up, join Devon and Joe as we go through the context around the song, break down some literary references, lyrics that stood out, and the music behind the lyrics. We also do a dive into the music video!
We will finish our Song Breakdowns of Folklore once we get through Evermore (provided she doesn't drop another album...)
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.
