Secret Session: A Taylor Swift Podcast

Latest Episodes:

#73 If This Was A Movie Jan 10, 2024

Show notes

Staying in theme with films and what we talked about in our episode about the 1, we decided to talk about If This Was A Movie. If life was a movie – a romantic one – things would be different and easier… but it isn’t. If this was a movie, he would've been the one. Life isn’t a movie, though, or maybe it’s a dramatic movie, who can tell. It’s just more complicated than that.

#72 the 1 Jan 03, 2024

Show notes

Happy New Year! We tried to resist the temptation to start the new year with the 1, but it was an iconic thing to do and so here we are. This song is about that person that exited your life, but sometimes you can’t help it but wonder what would’ve happened if they had stayed.

#71 New Year's Day Dec 28, 2023

Show notes

The year is almost over and what better occasion to talk about New Year's Day? We talked about this song and the meaning that Taylor attached to that day, but we also looked back on this year (starting from 00:17:47). We want to thank everyone who listened to our podcast this year and we hope you will stay with us in 2024! Love you 🫶🏼

#70 folklore & evermore: The Sister Albums pt. II Dec 20, 2023

Show notes

In part 2, we compared tracks 8 through 17! What do this is me trying and coney island have in common? And what about illicit affairs and ivy? We talked about the albums closers and why they perfectly wrap up their respective albums. In the end we even shared our top5 from both folklore and evermore (but not in order because we weren't emotionally ready to do that). Support us on ⁠⁠Ko-Fi⁠⁠!

Happy birthday, Taylor! 🥳🥳 It's been a while since we've talked about our favorite albums, so we thought Taylor's birthday episode could be the perfect time. We talked about the major plot points and all the subplots we can find in the sister albums, and we broke them down track to track (tracks 1-7 in the first part, and tracks 8-17 next week).

It's getting cold and we hadn't talked about Debut for a while, so we decided to talk about Cold As You! We discussed unrequited love and teenage years... and Taylor's amazing songwriting skills.

#67 Never Grow Up Nov 29, 2023

Show notes

Happy almost birthday, Noelle! As per tradition, the birthday girl gets to choose the song of her birthday week, and Noelle chose a song particularly close to her heart. Never Grow Up has defined her 23rd year alive, and so she wanted to celebrate the day before turning 24 talking about this song from Speak Now with Alice and all our listeners.

#66 All You Had To Do Was Stay Nov 22, 2023

Show notes

After discussing the meanings behind the track 5s in Taylor's discography in last week's episode, we decided to break down the track 5 from her 5th album! P.S. At the beginning of this episode we stated that we were confused by the songwriting credits of this song because there was contrasting information. We checked the 1989TV booklet and so we can now confirm that this song was written by Taylor Swift and Max Martin. Support us on ⁠⁠Ko-Fi⁠⁠!

#65 Special Session: The Track 5 Nov 15, 2023

Show notes

In Taylor’s albums, track 5 isn’t like the others. It’s personal, it’s emotional, it holds a special meaning. We talked about the different feelings explored in those songs and we discussed the best track 5 in our opinion.

Timestamps:

1. The 5 categories of Track 5s (00:06:41)

#64 Say Don't Go Nov 08, 2023

Show notes

We can't stop listening to the 1989 (Taylor's Version) vault tracks and we decided to talk about our favorite one. This one is so connected with the whole album and we had so much fun finding all the parallels and connecting all the dots!
