Shifties with Swifties

Need to get your mind off the cesspool that is the election cycle? Well, keep walkin' bud, cause tonight we're covering Taylor's rocky relationship with Donald Trump, her endorsement of Kamala Harris, and all that is celebrity endorsements of political candidates in general!

I know, I know. I'm as sick of the "It's been awhile" nonsense as however many of you there are left are. But we did get together and record a behemoth of an episode covering Taylor Swift's new (at least it was at the time) album some months ago, before I lost my laptop in a mountain of unpacked moving boxes. Thankfully, the file was intact (unless you count the cicadas that slowly but reach a fev...

The Swifties are back at the picnic table after an unwelcome hiatus to catch up on all things Taylor Swift, including all things Travis Kelce, the right wing's obsession with her political affiliation, and finally give our hot (or room temperature, at this point) takes on thse 1989 vault tracks. We're not dead!

It's the end of 2020, so it's time for Taylor to put on her ceremonial robes and join in on the occult ritual out in the woods that banishes Covid 19 for good. That's right, it's Evermore! We've been hearing it from Jenn since we started this project; that ceaseless mantra, "wAiT TiLl YoU hEaR eVeRmOrE!" So now that we've heard it, does it land like an atom bomb l...

Before we dive into Evermore, we need to catch up on the latest T-flavored tea! This time Taylor's dating.. *record scratch* a football player?!?! Also the movie of her concert tour is out, so we're gonna talk about it.

It's 2020 and Covid is here, so Taylor's packing up her studio to go into lockdown! So when you've finished streaming Tiger King and given Blathers all the bugs you can for the museum in Animal Crossing for the day, what do you do except write a subdued gem unlike anything else in your catalog thus far? Hope you like Swedish cuisine, cause we might have Bon Iver pop in at some point th...

Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark? Well hopefully you stayed blind through this atrocious garbage fire of a film that Andrew Lloyd Webber found so egregious that he went out and bought a dog. Taylor Swift's got a cameo in this thing and it's.. kinda good, all things considered? So we're gonna talk about it. and there's no doin' anything aboooouuu-hoowo...

Tim and Alyssa went to some concerts. One was Metallica and one was Taylor Swift. Not a whole lot more you need to know. It's been so long that if you've made it this far, you're starving for content. Taylor Swift would never leave her fans hanging like this podcast has. I'll go wallow in my shame now. Stay tuned for part 2. Relasing simultaneously. It's a DOUBLE DROP

It's summertime and love is in the air, so we're covering T Swift's 2019 album, Lover! This is going to be her first record after leaving the accursed Big Machine Records *spits* Not gonna lie folks; this one was a little bit of a snoozer comin' hot off the heels of Rep, but there's some tasty nugs here. And it's Alyssa's falling in love album! Awwwww! Listen to the end...

We did something bad! But are we not sinners, all? Let's throw that vanilla ice cream in the gravel and take a big lick, cause this time Taylor's decided to be the bad guy! That's right Swifties, the kid gloves are off and our pristine queen has donned some brass knuckles to give a big ol' Fuck You to the haters. Join us for Taylor Swift's journey to the dark side. As far as we...

Taylor's Version of Speak Now dropped, and we're here to speak about it! Find out what we think of the new tracks, why Fallout Boy is not a magic elixir to revive a mediocre song, and why our (and Taylor's) reverence for the "Greatest Generation" is sometimes a little misplaced.

This week we get a late start on recording our coverage of Taylor Swift's synth-pop opus, 1989. We can all relate to being plucky newcomers to the Big Apple, right? Which Sex and the City girl are you? We also discuss the diminishing returns of radio hits, and Jack Antonoff reeducating Taylor about the goings on in Europe during World War II

In this marathon of an evening, we cover the bloated mess that is Taylor Swift's 2012 album, Red (Taylor's version, of course.) The Swifties all get misty-eyed reminiscing about where WE were at 22, and we get some twisted tales regarding braces. It all culminates in an a capella song you know all too well. If you make it through this beast, then you're in it for the long haul folks..

Time for the newest dose of Tay-Lore for this latter half of May! Who the hell is Matty Healy, and is he a Nazi?? Let's speculate! Also, let's find out about this book that all these dumb-dumb Swifties spent a bunch of money on! Also, let's talk about Jen showing the Passion of the Christ to Olivia last year. Q: Who's messier; Matty or Mel Gibson? A: Definitely Mel Gibson (for now)

In a return to form for both Taylor and the Swifties, we jump into a banger of an album with a high bop to bummer ratio: 2010's Speak Now! We'll circle back to Taylor's Version when it drops in July. Until then we'll all have to hold our noses and stomach Scooter's version :(

This week on Swifty Minutes we're covering the Nashville announcement of Speak Now TV, the definition of clowning, whether or not Matt Healy looks like an ashtray, and a bunch of desperate Taylor-stans throwing their money at a non-existent book written by nobody. Tune in with us!

It's Fiesta time in SA, so we're eating chicken on a stick and bashing pinatas for Jenn's birthday. Oh, and also covering Taylor's second studio album, Fearless (Taylor's Version)! It's time to jump then fall headlong into a lengthy breakdown of a lengthy album. Hope you brought your umbrellas, because there's going to be a lot of pebbles getting thrown around, and watc...

On tonight's installment of Swifty Minutes, Jenn returns from the Houston performance of the eras tour and tells us about.. her husband's football career? Taylor dodges a costly crypto bullet with her savvy sensibilities, and Taylor's friends and fans alike throw mad shade on the last guy to get erased from her newly Blank Space.

This week the Swifties ho[p in the DeLorean and go back to the beginning, when a curly-haired little upstart wiped the first teardrops off her guitar and took Nashville-and the world-by storm. We'll find out who Drew and Corey are, what children's story traumatized a young Timmy, and why Alyssa's brothers are gross as hell.

Welcome to the first installment of Swifty Minutes, our abbreviated podcast for all things tea time and Tay-Lore related! This week we focus primarily on the breakup of Taylor and Joe Alwyn. We'll also dip our toe into the waters of some of the more bizarre corners of SwifTok.

Welcome to Shifties with Swifties! A podcast where we have a few shifties after work, and two Swifties drag an uninitiated old grump kicking and screaming through the discography of one *looks at notes* Taylor Swift! For our pilot episode, we cover the most recent album, Midnights
