Swift and Swigs with Sibs

Best believe we’re excited to be back in our Midnights Era as we break down the glitter gel pen track “Bejeweled.” Both Sam and Rachel admit how unfamiliarity bred contempt with this song upon first listen but they’ve since moved it from the basement to the penthouse of their hearts. They discuss the sparkling music tones (anyone else hear Reading Rainbow?), who might be to blame for making sadnes...

In this week’s episode Rachel comes Clean when she admits peeking at the Era’s set list. Then the Sibs celebrate their 13th episode by breaking down the 13th song off 1989 album “Clean.” They spend minutes and minutes of back and forth discussing the writing process with Imogen Heap, learn what boom whackers are, and from which London boy Taylor is finally clean.

All we can say is it was enchanting to record this podcast this week as we entered our Speak Now Era for the first time breaking down “Enchanted.” Speaking of Era’s, we gushed over Era’s week and how we are trying to spend forever wondering about the set list and not see any spoilers. Then it was on to the podcast where we remain wonderstruck at this song we never listened to before the TikTok tre...

In this week’s episode Sam and Rachel begin with a discussion on the approaching Era's Tour. Sam admits being excited to finally get to say “our song this week is Our Song.” Sam and Rachel talk reeeeeeal slow as they break down their first Debut album song and discuss the meta song lyrics as well as the country and teen song tropes throughout. They agree after listening to every song on the ra...

The world moves on another day another drama drama as Sam and Rachel obsess AGAIN about the upcoming Era’s Tour. This goes on unto they finally rose up from the dead—they do it all the time—to discuss their first official Reputation era track with “Look What You Made Me Do.” Who is the “you” in this song? Well, Sam and Rachel have a list of names and one is in red, underline, but you’ll just have...

In this special episode Sam and Rachel invite their Aunt Trish, a fellow Swiggie and self proclaimed Boomer listener, onto the podcast to discuss “Evermore” from the album of the same name. Rachel made a point to remind everyone she was staring out a window at the beach while Sam and Trish were catching their death in the wildest winter. They share differing perspectives on the complicated lyrics...

In this week's episode of the podcast, the sibs get into the country side of Taylor and the vocal re-enactments are 100%. With cocktails to accompany the discussion, Rachel and Sam have plenty of thoughts about why this song wasn't on the original Red, the power moves that Taylor made, and -- oh yeah: CHRIS STAPLETON! Oh my God, they're insane, they have a podcast about you, Taylor!

Valentine week felt like the best opportunity for us to fall into this week’s Lover-ly episode discussing the song “Lover” off the album of the same name. We promise to be overdramatic and true to our love of Rihanna’s half time performance. Then all’s well that ends well when we end up discussing how happy we are that Taylor has ended up with Joe. We show this by over-using the word “sweet” and “...

Maybe Taylor’s beau doesn’t say a lot, but we sure do in this week’s episode discussing another first track song, this time “Lavender Haze” on the Midnights album. We talk our talk and go viral about the Grammy’s before getting off our chest and onto our podcast desk every lavender hazy moment that creeped up on us. We do actually give a damn what people say about our podcast so find us on social...

This week we really had fun covering "The 1." We made sure never to leave well enough alone breaking down our favorite musical moments, discussing the importance of a leading track, how the album folklore didn't quite paint by the numbers, but how we made it count. This episode was something, we hope you think so.  For any show notes, visit our website at: https://swiftandswigspod.substack.co...

Sam and Rachel are stupid to jump into the ocean of yet another sexy Swiftie song, this time with a Lover track. The road gets hard and they get lost when they’re led by blind faith as they try to make sense of the religious imagery in the song. But they still worship that saxophone.

This week’s episode has Sam with a James Dean daydream look in his eyes and Rachel in a red lip classic thing that we like. Does their analysis of their most favorite Taylor Swift song come crashing down or come back every time? We’ll let you decide. We'll share a couple of cocktails that never go out of style plus a conversation that goes round and round every musical mixology moment. For any sho...

Rachel asked Sam to pick the first song to breakdown and he chose you, Maroon. We were shaking blind and hazy trying to figure out the podcast recording kinks but we think in the end we have a real f***ing legacy of an episode to leave you with.

Welcome to Swift and Swigs with Sibs, a podcast where a brother and a sister discuss two of their favorite things: Taylor Swift and Cocktails. While nothing good starts in a getaway car, we like to think a good podcast can. In this episode you’ll learn the story of us and hopefully from the first old fashioned you’ll be cursed to come back for more!
