Swift and Swigs with Sibs

In this week's episode, we play some games!!! Any by games, we mean Buzzfeed quizzes for Swifties. Let's find out where we're going on vacation! But first, we had to discuss the iHeart Radio Music Awards! Is this the end of awards season? We both chose the same song to discuss for our "new shit" segment, and boy are we into it! The song we discuss this week was different than any other one we've d...

Boy oh boy, we're breaking into another favorite episode. And this one shines like a brand new toy! Somehow Eminem enters the chat, and Sam definitely did not invite him. New shit!! Lizzo!! And her being the confident queen that she is!! Role Model!! Sam feels like a Gen Z for loving this new artist he's discovered! Tapping into the episode, we can't help but connect this Tortured Poet...

We’re getting excited for an upcoming potential Taylor Swift appearance at the iHeart Radio Music Awards! Sam is adamant that he won’t be clowning for anything, but that doesn’t mean we both won’t be watching with anticipation! The episode goes off on a bit of a tangent about Taylor’s style and who exactly is behind her fashion choices. Then we discuss Travis Kelce’s potential retirement and what...

Rachel has deemed this the "wackiest" episode ever, and she's not wrong. We hop around from topic to topic, with no particular order connecting them. We waste no time and get right into our "new shit," with Sam acknowledging he made a mistake by forgetting to mention Lady Gaga's upcoming album! The song of the week had us scratching our heads. What exactly is the spirit...

We're not blushing..... YOU'RE blushing. Okay, so we're blushing a little bit. But this song just goes there! So, naturally, we do too. Maybe it's a little weird for two sibs to be talking about self love, but Taylor doesn't shy away from it so why should we? This song is SO much more than that, however. And we explore it all. But first, we discuss an upcoming plan for some future special episodes...

This is one juicy episode! We start by exchanging Taylor Swift-themed food puns and scavenger hunt ideas. And although hilarious, Tay Tay, we're begging you, give us something to discuss! We both blow eachother's minds when we discuss our new shit. Sam gives a special shoutout, and Rachel waffles before finally settling on the new shit she was meant to discuss. Dolly Parton meets modern po...

Happy Valentine's Day! We hope this episode brings you life, laughter, and love. Taylor certainly brings those things with the song "Today Was A Fairytale." We discuss that song in its entirety, and we drink some bubbly and princessy cocktails, but not before discussing in length ALL the details of the past week. The Grammy's were a huge highlight of our year so far. And the Superbowl, although th...

Episode 2 of Season 3 and we are trucking along with all new guest stars. This week, we are so happy to have Sarah Langan join us for her choice of "So Long, London!" Sarah and Sam have been friends for a few years and have bonded over Taylor Swift many times over cocktails. What better guest to have on a podcast about Taylor Swift and cocktails? We take time to hear Sarah's Swiftie story and why...

We are back after a 6-week break and we are now entering season 3! Surprisingly, there wasn't too much Taylor content to catch up on, except for more potential Reputation TV clowning. Sam swears he's done clowning...but what exactly is the internet saying? And why has Taylor removed that album from her Spotify? As we approach the Grammy's, it's important we discuss new artists and...

100! Episodes! Can you believe it? Sam brought the noisemakers and decorations, Rachel brought the groans that accompany it. Just kidding.....we're both so incredibly proud of this podcast and we want to say a special THANK YOU to everyone for tuning in week after week. This podcast would never have reached 100 episodes if it weren't for you...so thank you! Of course, we had to choose *the* best s...

Well, the Eras Tour is over and Taylor has left us nearly speechless. In part because we are forever in awe over how special the Eras Tour was, in other part because we are deeply shocked and surprised that Vancouver was the most regular weekend ever. Sam isn't mad that Taylor didn't announce anything, he's just upset that she knowingly led us to believe we should clown for something. Either way,...

Turns out we’re not okay with the Eras Tour coming to an end….but wouldn’t you know, Sam got his hands on the exclusive Eras Tour Book and you better believe we dive into it! And then we tap into the ultimate Taylor-On-Tour song! How are we crying already?! The way she took the meaning of this song from her band to her producer to us…the fans…! Wow, we are beyond words. Yet we still manage to pair...

This episode begins with a very sad Sam. We discuss the ending of the Eras Tour and how it's finally hitting us! What is Taylor planning for the Vancouver shows? What does her countdown mean? Rachel gets into the holiday spirit with her new shit this week. What a crazy Swiftie universe we live in where Jason Kelce and Stevie Nicks are recording songs together! The song we discuss today was so much...

Ooooooo we did it! I think we did it! We succesfully got through our second of TWO back-to-back episode recordings. Rachel tells a story of her Taylor Swift trivia performance. It wasn't very redemptive. And Sam forgets all about the significance of olives in his Olive Garden cocktail! Speaking of Olive Garden, we go on quite a tangent about why Taylor chose Olive Garden as the restaurant feature...

It's starting to get chilly over here at Swift and Swigs. Taylor's first ever vulnerable track 5 had us swigging and swifting over young Taylor's song-writing, and the questionable boys she fell for. But first, we react on-air to the Grammy nominations!!! Some of the nominees did not surprise us. Others certainly did! We are so excited to continue talking about the upcoming Grammys in future episo...

Check out our playlist for all the new shit we've discussed: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5LOn9LRJ8lnvnCbpl6fKVG?si=bcc7f5c0f0734232 We're back for another TTPD song, and a fan favorite at that! Before discussing track 4 off of Taylor's latest album, the sibs tackle a popular theory: Debutation! Is Taylor going to release Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) and Reputation (Taylor's Version) at th...

New playlist of all the "new shit" we've ever discussed on the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5LOn9LRJ8lnvnCbpl6fKVG?si=124e27a4921a46cb We were so excited to get into another Red song for this episode! But first, we discuss all the excitement of the New Orleans Eras Tour! Including the lengths that Sam went to in order for Rachel to experience the Sabrina Carpenter moment on stage. We...

In this week's episode, we revisit Taylor's sophomore album, Fearless! But first, we discuss the new Eras Tour Book and the changes our girl Taylor has recently made to the eras tour after her stint in Miami. And also what we expect re: Reputation Taylor's Version and the final day of the show in Vancouver. Gracie Abrams and Bon Iver are mentioned in our "new shit" segment. The song of the week te...

Well, well, well. Taylor Swift, you have EVERY reason to be mad in this song. We hear you and we empathize with you! But first, we discuss our thoughts on the upcoming leg of the Eras Tour. Will the setlist change? Songs added/removed? Are we clowning for Reputation Taylor's Version? We inch ever closer to our 100th episode and we drop a little hint that something exciting will happen. We bring mo...

Sam was feeling nostalgic after coming off the 89th episode, so he chose a song that documents Taylor's struggles throughout her life! The episode begins with acknowledging that we’re still in a quiet Taylor era, but at least we got some glitter freckles out of her recent appearance at the Chiefs game! Stevie Nicks enters the chat and so does Coldplay, as we discuss the new shit we’ve been listeni...

It's our 89th episode, and that means we HAD to commemorate the occasion with a song from 1989 (Taylor's Version)! We ramble for quite a bit at the beginning, but it’s productive rambling, we swear! Both of us bring an artist who’s opened for the Eras Tour as our new shit, but two different musicians. The song we discuss today is incredibly important in the lore behind 1989 Taylor Swift and what s...

Another quiet week in the Taylor Swift world means the intro to our podcast is now a game show! We try to play a Taylor Swift game and, although we got the end point of it all, it definitely took us a while and a lot of laughts to get there. The new shit is inspired by Beyonce and our familial connection we share with an incredible artist who's worked with her! Then we get into the cocktails which...

Well, the day has finally come for the sibs to tackle a song that they collectively DO NOT enjoy. In fact, Sam goes so far as to say this is his "least favorite" Taylor Swift song of all time. Does that stop us from having a good time? Absolutely not! The Taylor Tea discussed goes into detail about what Taylor and Travis were doing (and drinking...easter egg) at the US Open. And Taylor's encourage...

This episode was recorded in our cabin purchased by our Grandmother, so what better song to choose than "marjorie!" Though it was emotional for both of us, we felt so satisfied getting to share stories of our grandmothers as we discuss the song where Taylor reflects on her own grandmother, Marjorie. The cocktails were inspired by our Granny and Grandma, and the sounds of our family cabin...

Don't you worry folks, this is NOT a sad episode. In fact, it starts out rather happy and gave us an opportunity to catch up on the things that we've been wanting to discuss before Taylor rudely interrupted us with her Eras Tour performances. Rachel has an idea for Taylor to create a docu-series about the Eras Tour. Sam ties in several Creed moments that we're pretty sure only we will...
