104. The Muses: Taylor Lautner (From the Vault) Oct 23, 2024

Show notes

We’ll admit it: we were wrong. Well, kinda. In our initial ‘The Muses: Taylor Lautner’ episode from February of 2023, we made an assumption that Taylor Squared had fallen out of touch over the years and were no longer close. To our credit, that was true at the time. However, we couldn’t have predicted that in the following months, they’d reconnect and be closer than ever! In this episode, your hosts talk through everything that has happened between Taylor Swift & Taylor Lautner since we last chatted about them, and it’s more than you may think. Join us for this wholesome, happy episode as we revisit the ‘Muses: From the Vault’ subseries! And be sure to brush up on your homework and listen to the first installation of the Taylor Squared story HERE, because we pick up right where we left off.

102. Did You Get Deja Vu? What Went Down Between Taylor Swift & Olivia Rodrigo Oct 09, 2024

Show notes

To this day, the world wonders what happened between Taylor Swift and budding pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo in 2021. Olivia, who was experiencing a meteoric rise to fame with her debut album ‘Sour’, had also publicly branded herself a lifelong Swiftie with the receipts to back her claim up. She was even called the “original Taydaughter” on the internet! So what occurred between them that made their public friendship suddenly dry up? Some people believe Taylor sued for royalties. Some people believe Olivia wanted to make a name for herself absent of Taylor. In this hot button episode, your hosts go through their hours of research so you can make your own determination about what went down between the megastars.

101. Let's Talk 1989 (OG, TV, & more!) Oct 02, 2024

Show notes

Nine years to the day after the release of ‘1989’, Taylor released it again with her Taylor’s Version of the Pop Bible! The key difference, of course, is that when Taylor opted to drop a full-blown pop record in 2014, the (pop culture) world practically stood still. With a decade-defining singles run, an abundance of critical praises, and endless good vibes, the OG album left a legacy that the Taylor’s Version built upon. Today, your hosts talk through all things about both versions of ‘1989’, all while Dani stifles her joy for her “heart album.”

100. Mental Cages: Dear Reader Sep 25, 2024

Show notes

Often (unfairly) overlooked and frequently (unjustly) criticized, ‘Midnights’ closer “Dear Reader” is a diaristic, confessional, and somber track that reminds its listener that, despite being full of advice, the author herself is not to be trusted. In this installment of the Mental Cages series, which doubles as Taylearning’s landmark 100th episode (!!!), Dani & Olivia break down this divisive track, chewing on every lyric to make some sense of it all. Taylor has spent the better part of two decades giving advice to millions through her lyrics, but in this song, she has herself (and the audience) wondering- is she really qualified to be a beacon of truth?

100 EPISODES!!! Thank you for being here. It’s cheesy, but we love this community and what we have built from the ground up. To celebrate and to thank you, listen all of the way through the very end of this episode- we have a surprise :)

99. Dissecting "Fortnight", the VMA Video of the Year - Did it Deserve the Win? Sep 18, 2024

Show notes

Taylor made history (again) last week when she won the Video Music Award (VMA) for Video of the Year with TTPD’s “Fortnight”- but many people believe she was undeserving of the iconic award. This video, which was directed by and starring Taylor herself, beat out several other strong contenders! The award is fan-voted, but there are also so many layers and interpretations to this metaphor-heavy video, so today we answer the trending question- do we think it earned the VOTY title? Tune in as we break it down, scene by scene!

98. The "Squad": Sabrina Carpenter Sep 11, 2024

Show notes

Inarguably, the friendships we make (and lose) throughout our lives impact us greatly. The same is likely true for Taylor Swift! In our NEW mini-series, The Squad, Olivia & Dani take you through Taylor’s friendships and the impact they’ve made on her life, image, and in some cases, her music. Today, we start with up-and-coming main pop girl, Sabrina Carpenter, in honor of her #1 album ‘Short n’ Sweet’. Sabrina, who has been a Taylor fan since long before her fame, now classifies Taylor as one of her best friends. In this episode, your hosts walk you through Sabrina’s journey from OG Swiftie to Disney star to major pop star- and where Taylor fits into it all.

97. Analyzing 'The Tortured Poets Department' Prologue: Why It's Essential to Understanding the Album Sep 04, 2024

Show notes

The prologue to ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ is one of the most intimate looks into Taylor’s mind we’ve ever been given. It’s the perfect appetizer to this massive album, and it has not received the attention it deserves…until now! In today’s episode, join Olivia & Dani as they go through the prologue line by line to better understand the stories Taylor tells throughout the album. With all of the context Taylor is giving us here, it’s a wonder more people aren’t talking about it- so crack open your TTPD vinyls/CD booklets, and let’s Taylearn together!

96. The Muses: Matty Healy (Part 2: The Songs Taylor Wrote About Matty) Aug 28, 2024

Show notes

Taylearning is back for Season 4, and we are better than ever! Today’s Season Premiere is a continuation of The Muses miniseries, and it also brings us further into the lore of Matty Healy. As we discuss what songs The 1975’s controversial frontman may have inspired in Taylor’s discography, we also continue to unravel the story of ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’ Taylor Swift gives us so much insight into her life and mind through her lyrics, so today, we are going to give you an in-depth analysis of how they fit into the story of her life…especially in regards to Matty. Listen to Part 1 if you have not yet- you’ll want to take that prerequisite before diving into this one!
