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. Our Song, for example, made Taylor Swift the youngest artist ever to write and perform a #1 country song. Featuring other smash hits like Teardrops On My Guitar, Should’ve Said No, and Picture to Burn…we revisit an album we haven’t listened to in full for a long time, to share our thoughts and feelings about it, as well as provide you predictions on what will happen for the inevitable release of Debut (Taylor’s Version): the vault tracks alone, are a ki…Phone a Snake: The Encore Has Broken Your Brain

Welcome back to Phone a Snake, the world's greatest hotline, where you call in with your unpopular opinions and we roast them, agree, or debate. 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? Will The Encore hurt Taylor's legacy? Why is Debut TV getting paid dust? Cleveland is camp, and more...enjoy!We Ranked Every Taylor Swift Deluxe Song Worst to Best

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.

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.

Well, here we are again. 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.Ranking EVERY Taylor's Version Vault Track With Brutal Honesty

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 2022, all the way to becoming the most decorated artist in VMA history in 2024. What awaits us in 2026?!

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 call from Kanye West and the posting of it by Kim Kardashian, so then there’s no reputation without the snake…you see how it goes!What Everyone Missed in Taylor Swift's Grammy Interview

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 PLENTY to admire here.

MANY years before All Too Well (10 Minute Version) broke the internet, Taylor Swift spent three months dating Jake Gyllenhaal...and upon reflection, we'd argue it's the single most important relationship of her career, creatively. 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 TERRIFYING paralels to another intense 3 month situationship...so, if you've ever wondered how a short-lived 2010 romance became the emotional backbone of an entire album, the bone collectors are here with every receipt.Phone a Snake: Daughter From Music Fashion and Petal Hell

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.

GO TO https://www.patreon.com/swiftologist FOR THE FULL SHOW! This is a full segment from our sold-out live show, where we unpack one of the most fascinating and divisive pop culture moments of 2025: The Life of a Showgirl, live from Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles. Far beyond a simple album review, this is a conversation about the entire era—how the rollout unfolded, the internet discourse that shaped its reception, allegations of astroturfing, the engagement to Travis Kelce and its influence on the public narrative, the expectations placed on one of the world's biggest stars, and what this chapter might mean for what's next. AND, how it felt to experience all of this as not only swifties, but content creators.
Our live shows have always been about creating space for thoughtful criticism, nuance, and disagreement. Whether you loved The Life of a Showgirl, hated it, or are still figuring out how you feel, we hope this conversation offers a perspective that goes beyond the headlines and the algorithms.

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. 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….JOIN US ON PATREON FOR WEEKLY BONUS EPISODES: https://www.patreon.com/swiftologist

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 feels half fairytale, half corporate retreat. We get into who was there (Simone Biles, Fergie, Selena, Gigi, Eras Tour crew), who conspicuously wasn’t (Blake, Phoebe, Lorde, Lana, Ice Spice), and what that says about power, PR, and who actually wants to be folded into the Tayvis storyline. We also talk about those 20-minute vows and the room in tears, the parasocial high of watching Taylor finally get married, and the ethics of a wedding that’s also a brand activation—plus the Swifties outside MSG in a heat wave, singing to blank walls and scrambling for leftover pastries like subway RATS!

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 own work, the Kate Capshaw quote that quietly unlocks a lot of Taylor's artistic philosophy, her surprisingly direct comments about creativity in an increasingly data-driven music industry, and the emotional moment she thanked her family for betting everything on a move to Nashville.
More than an acceptance speech, this felt like Taylor taking stock of the road behind her and making a case for the legacy she hopes to leave behind.

Every month, our patrons send in their most controversial pop culture takes, and we are legally obligated to react. This month’s voicemails broke us. Topics include: whether JoJo Siwa’s “Karma” is actually better than anything KATSEYE has released (and what that says about the music industry machine behind KATSEYE and Manon), Ice Spice’s entire catalogue being for children, the “pity artist” tier list (Sabrina Carpenter, Tate McRae, Addison Rae — your words, not ours), whether Taylor Swift’s re-recordings are a scam, Olivia Rodrigo’s next era, and the great Coachella influencer crisis.

In this episode, we're back — and it gets worse. We're brutally ranking every Taylor Swift music video from the "new testament" era: Lover through The Life of a Showgirl. After spending last episode celebrating the visuals that defined her career, it's time to confront the ones that didn't. From the cosy-but-forgettable to the genuinely embarrassing, we rank them all — worst to best — and we don't hold back.
Cardigan vs. Anti-Hero. Bejeweled vs. Fortnight vs The Fate of Ophelia and Opalite. The highs, the lows, and the ones we've collectively agreed to forget.

Welcome to 2019: Part 3, the latest installment of our in depth analysis of every year of Taylor Swift’s career. This is the one where the woman they thought they had cornered gets a white shirt, embroiders every album she's about to take back onto it, and walks onto the AMA stage in front of the entire industry. There will be a notes app letter. There will be a Billboard speech about toxic male privilege and private equity. There will be a re-recording announcement that makes two very rich, very powerful men realise they have made the most expensive mistake in music history. Scooter Braun will write an open letter asking for sympathy. She ends the year in the Maldives with someone who does not deserve a vacation. Enjoy!

We’re rewinding to Taylor Swift's NYU Commencement Speech 2022 and reading it like a prophecy. At the time, it felt like a charming, self-aware victory lap. But in hindsight? It’s loaded with real easter eggs about everything that followed: the emotional architecture of Midnights, the meta-theatre of The Eras Tour, the unraveling of her long-term relationship with Joe Alwyn, and the chaotic re-entry of Matty Healy. We’re dissecting the language, the tone, the “mistakes” motif, the self-mythologizing — and asking: was Taylor already preparing us for the next era… or trying to convince herself of it?
