#58 Nothing New 27.09.2023

A song sung by both Taylor Swift and Phoebe Bridgers feels like a dream, but it’s real and it’s called Nothing New . This one is a reflective one, where Taylor opened up about being scared of the future and about the fear of losing relevance. And yes, Taylor, we still want you, 17 years after your debut. P.S. Happy Red (Taylor's Version) season! 🍂 Support us on ⁠Ko-Fi⁠ ! You can find us here:...

#57 Castles Crumbling 20.09.2023

After the one that we called “the shitty event” in last week’s episode, Taylor felt like she was losing the support of those who were once her fans. There was a lot of self doubt, accompanied by a certain level of helplessness and hopelessness. Luckily, her empire is still up and she's the Queen of our hearts. You can find our Paramore-head friend, Federica, on Instagram as @fedes_things. Than...
