Place your bets: is Speak Now or 1989 going to be the next album to join the Taylor's Version squad? Taylor loves to lead us on in multiple directions to keep what's coming next a surprise, but after a year of teasing, we still don't know which of these two iconic albums is up on the roster. In this debate-style episode, hear Olivia argue for 1989 and Dani argue for Speak Now, duking it out and laying the many Easter Eggs on the table.

Today we are joined by a very special guest- Autumn from the viral TSTourTips! In this episode, we ask Autumn - a longtime Swiftie with exponential knowledge about Taylor's tours - questions everyone has on their mind leading up to 'The Eras Tour' ticket sale. How much will this cost? What are the best sections? How do you increase your chances of meeting Taylor? All of these questions (and many more!) are answered in this jam packed collaboration episode.

It's been almost two weeks since 'Midnights' was released, which means there has been a bit of time to marinate with the album and give it a proper review. Naturally, this means that it is time for Olivia & Dani to share their [current] song rankings! A lot has changed from their first listen to now, so join in as they chat about each song's ranking placement, most notable lyrics, and which of the other albums each song would end up on in an alternate reality.

Everyone has opinions on 'Midnights', and we at Taylearning are no exception. While Olivia & Dani both agree that they need time to marinate with the album more before officially ranking the songs and scoring the album, they are here today to bring you their initial feelings and analyses on TS10...and there are a lot of them!

Grab your favorite drink- it's time for the debut of the Tipsy Swifties! In this [drunk] episode, Olivia & Dani play a drinking game using previous Taylor lyrics, and they discuss what they think each song on 'Midnights' will sound like. Hear your hosts get increasingly inebriated and passionate as they chat theories, past Taylor songs, and their hopes for TS10.

"Polished pop perfection" was achieved in 2015 when Taylor Swift embarked on her award-winning 1989 World Tour. This tour - which can be viewed in full on YouTube - was two hours of some of Taylor's best vocals to date, insane choreography, and some incredibly hype energy. Hear your hosts chat through the entire tour, song by song and clip by clip, and pretend you are actually in the audience with us!

There are three types of Swifties: those who theorize, those who watch the theories, and those who ignore them. Which one are you? In this opinionated episode, Olivia & Dani chat about the lengthy history and impact of Taylor's famous Easter Egg marketing/fan communication strategy. She constantly has us clowning, and some Easter eggs are much more substantial than others. Join the conversation, including criticisms and praises of the constant theories and Easter eggs!

For a three month relationship when Taylor Swift was 19, there sure is a lot to unpack in this episode! John Mayer, the inspiration behind 'Dear John' (among other 'Speak Now' tracks), has a troubled past. In this episode, Olivia & Dani tear apart how that troubled past directly influenced a young Taylor.

This is it: Taylor Swift's 'Cruel Summer' took place in 2016 when the world turned against her. #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty is the number one trend in the world. Her public allies are few and far between. So what does she do? She channels it all into writing and performing her most vengeful (and most romantic) album yet: Reputation. In this 'part two' episode, hear Olivia & Dani talk about the Taylor vs. Kimye drama and the art it created, covering years 2016-2022.

Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs is perhaps the biggest pop culture moment of the late aughts. This moment kickstarted the wild and volatile relationship between the two, and the repercussions have been good, bad, and ugly! This episode - part one of two - covers the crazy interactions between the two from 2009 to 2015, preparing you for the fallout that would ensue it 2016.

No surprise here: the 'All Too Well Short Film' won the highly coveted Video of the Year award at this year's VMAs! As we near the official end of the Red Taylor's Version Era to move into the Midnights Era, it seems like a good time to break down the short film. In this jam-packed episode, Olivia & Dani talk the music video scenes, dialogue, Easter eggs, behind the scenes, critical responses, and more.

What else could we possibly be talking about this week? On Sunday, August 28th, Taylor Swift announced TS10 - 'Midnights'! In our most packed episode yet, hear Olivia & Dani talk theories, conspiracies, concepts, and all things 'Midnights' as we eagerly await its release on October 21st.

Where were you when you heard about the infamous 27 second breakup phone call between Taylor Swift & Joe Jonas? This ill-fated teenage romance rocked the world of pop culture during its rise and fall in 2008, and it inspired songs across three (3!) Taylor albums! In this fun episode, Olivia & Dani break down all of the details, from the break up songs to the 'Jonas Brother's Ex-Girlfriend Club' to where they are now.

Perhaps one of the most underrated songs on 1989, 'This Love' is a pop-synth-indie ballad about an on again/off again relationship. Often criticized for its simple lyrics, this song is one of 1989's most emotional deep cuts, and one of the few songs from 1989 (Taylor's Version) to be released into the world! Join us as we talk it through, lyric by lyric, finding song parallels and hidden themes.

What do 2012 and 2021 have in common? They both saw the release of the 'Red' album! But in 2012, Taylor was a heartbroken 22-year-old fresh off a devastating relationship. In 2021, Taylor was a confident 31-year-old; so confident, in fact, that she released a 30 song rerecorded album! Listen as we chat through the differences in the albums, their themes, our opinions, and the songs (and hey, one of them is even ten minutes long).

From friends to enemies to friends again, the saga of Taylor Swift vs. Katy Perry raged on for years. But would you believe this 'Bad Blood' all started with...backup dancers? Listen as we unpack one of the most well known music feuds of the 2010s, and trust us, there is a lot to unpack here!

In the final installment of the 'Remaining Relevant' series (for now!), Olivia & Dani go line by line through 'Mirrorball' from the 2020 Grammy Album of the Year, 'Folklore.' Why does Taylor keep calling herself a mirrorball, and what exactly does that even mean? The answers, as always, are in the lyrics- and in the spaces between them.

Who was the primary inspiration behind the Grammy winning '1989' album? Olivia & Dani argue that the muse for the songs was none other than Harry Styles. Taylor Swift dated Harry for a few months in 2012, but this catchy album indicates that they had an on again/off again affair that inspired some of the greatest songs of the 2010s. Hear your hosts break it all down as they kick off 'The Muses' series!

How can a person know everything at 18 but nothing at 22? This question is raised throughout the song 'Nothing New,' a folk pop song written by Taylor in 2012 and released in 2021. In this beautiful collaboration with Phoebe Bridgers, we hear confessions of a girl afraid that the world will move on from her since she is no longer a fresh face in the music scene. Olivia & Dani unbox the song line by line in this third installment of the 'Remaining Relevant' series.

Olivia & Dani met in 2020 only weeks before 'Folklore' blessed our ears. That leaves a LOT of history in the Taylorverse that needs covered to figure out how we got here! In this episode, listen to your hosts break down their personal histories with Taylor, how they met, and how we got from neither host listening to Reputation in 2017 to hosting a Taylor-themed podcast only 5 years later.
