It has been nearly three months since the final bow of ‘The Eras Tour,’ but we will do anything we can to make it live on. This includes the continuation of our Eras Tour Post Mortem series, in which your hosts dissect tour details! In this requested episode, Dani & Olivia go through the many outfits Taylor wore on stage during tour (including alterations and capes, she wore ~100 outfits!) to decide their favorite and least favorites for each era. They also talk fan favorites, iconic outfit moments, and their costume redesign concepts.

Taylor once admitted to being lost in the labyrinth of her mind- but what exactly does that mean? In today’s episode, Olivia & Dani continue the Mental Cages miniseries to break down “Labyrinth” from “Midnights.” This song - which is a divisive song amongst the Swiftie fandom - has Taylor opening up about her anxiety concerning falling in love after everything she has been through. But, as with all Taylor Swift songs, there is more to the story than what we see on the surface! Join us as we tear back the layers of this synth-filled, vibey track.

Let’s face it: we are all constantly on the hunt for the high we felt during The Eras Tour. The magic was felt in each city from the days leading up to a show all the way through walking out of the stadium. Lucky for us, there is someone actively working to recreate this magic- and she’s sharing it with Swifties all across North America! Joining us today is Karla, CEO of “Taylgate Takeovers,” and she is on a mission - along with her esteemed team of event planners - to host weekend-long Taylor-themed festivals in honor of The Eras Tour. Join us as we talk to Karla about what Taylgate Takeovers is, why she’s doing it, and why you might be interested in going when it comes to a city near you in 2025!

Like Taylor, we’ve spent the past 5+ months religiously following and rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs.

The simplest answer to the question “what makes an era?” is: …an album. An album cycle makes an era. But is that the whole truth? In today’s special episode, Justice - your TayIntern - guest-hosts to walk us through each intricate detail that characterizes a musical era. Join Justice, Olivia, & Dani as we cap off The Eras Tour with a lesson on the art, marketing, and groupings of all of Taylor Swift’s iconic eras that have defined her career thus far.

In October of 2011, lifelong Swiftie and Journalism student Sarah Chapelle decided to combine her passions to create the blog “Taylor Swift Style.” This blog has since amassed hundreds of thousands of followers, all of whom eagerly await for Sarah to post outfit details, prices, and even dupes of Taylor’s latest look every time she steps in front of a camera. Today, Dani & Olivia are joined by Sarah - now a New York Times best selling author - to discuss her new book, Taylor’s oxymoronic skill of marketing authenticity, and how music and fashion cannot be divorced when it comes to the iconography of a Taylor Swift Era!

With 14 Grammy Award wins and 58 nominations, it’s no secret that The Recording Academy is a fan of Taylor Swift- and she is a fan of theirs in return! But the perennial question remains: will Taylor succeed in this upcoming Grammy cycle? Today, your hosts do their best to put themselves in the shoes of a voting member of The Academy to make educated guesses about how things will shake out in each category Taylor is nominated for.

She hates it here, so she goes to secret gardens in her mind. The job of your hosts today is to find those secret gardens and take you along on the journey! In this installment of the fan fave ‘Mental Cages’ series, Olivia & Dani walk through TTPD’s “I Hate It Here”, a divisive and solemn track from ‘The Anthology’ half of the record. What does Taylor mean with the opening/closing lyric about a finance guy? What are the mid-sized city hopes and small town fears she is referencing? And what exactly was she trying to say with the controversial 1830s lyric? Tune in to find out!

Today, we revisit the “Fantasy Football” song draft miniseries to take on the most recent installment to the Taylorverse: ‘The Tortured Poets Department’! Dani is a shameful 1-3 in her song draft record, and Olivia is looking to pad her lead. Your hosts go back and forth to draft their strongest teams, but who will actually take the prize? Will Dani begin her redemption arc, or will Olivia skyrocket to 4-1? That, Taylisteners, is entirely up to you. Be sure to vote in the Spotify comments section and/or on our Instagram!

Throughout most of her long career, Taylor Swift was (in)famous for staying quiet politically. Some read this as apathy, some read it as calculating, and some went so far as to accuse her of being a secret alt-right icon. But in 2019, Taylor tore off the muzzle she had on herself and finally told the world her secret: she’s a Democrat. Her political affiliation and progressive ideology became a cornerstone of her ‘Lover’ era, and she has been open about her party alliance and voting habits ever since. However, it was a long time coming for her to emerge as ‘Miss Americana.’ The question much of the world has for Taylor is…why? In this episode, Olivia & Dani talk about the inextricable relationship between American politics and country music, the delicate dance between fame and politics, and how Taylor found her political voice over the span of twenty years.

Hey hey hey! When it comes to Eras Tour tickets, have you been gettin' down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world? Well, Catie & Marissa are here to help! In today’s special episode, Catie joins us to talk about the community she and Marissa have built that specializes in ticket reselling, scam spotting, and making a safe space in the Swiftie world online.

Listen in to hear about how to spot ticket scams in this final Eras leg, how this group is about more than just tickets, and how you can join this thriving online community (and maybe get tickets of your own!).We’ll admit it: we were wrong. Well, kinda. In our initial ‘The Muses: Taylor Lautner’ episode from February of 2023, we made an assumption that Taylor Squared had fallen out of touch over the years and were no longer close. To our credit, that was true at the time. However, we couldn’t have predicted that in the following months, they’d reconnect and be closer than ever! In this episode, your hosts talk through everything that has happened between Taylor Swift & Taylor Lautner since we last chatted about them, and it’s more than you may think. Join us for this wholesome, happy episode as we revisit the ‘Muses: From the Vault’ subseries!

To this day, the world wonders what happened between Taylor Swift and budding pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo in 2021. Olivia, who was experiencing a meteoric rise to fame with her debut album ‘Sour’, had also publicly branded herself a lifelong Swiftie with the receipts to back her claim up. She was even called the “original Taydaughter” on the internet! So what occurred between them that made their public friendship suddenly dry up? Some people believe Taylor sued for royalties. Some people believe Olivia wanted to make a name for herself absent of Taylor. In this hot button episode, your hosts go through their hours of research so you can make your own determination about what went down between the megastars.

Nine years to the day after the release of ‘1989’, Taylor released it again with her Taylor’s Version of the Pop Bible! The key difference, of course, is that when Taylor opted to drop a full-blown pop record in 2014, the (pop culture) world practically stood still. With a decade-defining singles run, an abundance of critical praises, and endless good vibes, the OG album left a legacy that the Taylor’s Version built upon. Today, your hosts talk through all things about both versions of ‘1989’, all while Dani stifles her joy for her “heart album.”
