Wise men once said.... listening to Taylor Swift makes you smarter! Did you know that "The Albatross" was inspired by an 18th century poem? Leave it to Taylor to educate us on poetry that we never knew about! 

In this song, Taylor takes a story about how in olden times sailors saw albatross birds as signs of bad luck and misfortune, and flips the script to take the power as a woman who is often seen as an enemy. 

Nick, Ana, Amy, and Lacey discuss the lyrics, the storytelling, the inspiration, the history, the poetry... everything that goes into an outstanding Taylor Swift song on THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT.

Be honest, you've stalked your ex on some sort of digital footprint before... it's okay, even Taylor Swift does it! In this episode, Lacey, Ana, and Nick discuss the first track of The Anthology portion of THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT, "The Black Dog". 

In this song, Taylor describes the emotional turmoil that goes through her head when she thinks about her ex being out at a bar with someone else. The lyrics, the build up, the emotions, there is so much depth in this song to explore! How does this song make a clear distinction between the standard edition of the album and the "double album" also known as The Anthology? Is The Black Dog a real place? And if so, how did they react to being name dropped on the album? Let's discuss!

There's glitter on the floor after the party... and a new year means we have a new bingo board, and naturally we found a way to make it competitive... 

Nick, Ana, and Lacey make bold predictions for events and announcements that could happen in 2025 by putting together a bingo board to keep up with for the entire year! 

Are any of these predictions possible? Do you think any will come true? Or are some of them extremely far-fetched? Take a listen and let us know what you think!

In January 2024, as part of his surprise song game punishment, Nick recorded a solo episode where he made a bingo board full of predictions for the year. 

In today's episode, Nick, Ana, and Lacey, revisit the 2024 bingo board to see how many things Nick predicted correctly (and how much he got wrong!) Was he bold in some of his predictions, or just overly confident? And what did he predict exactly right? 

Take a listen and revisit this incredible year of the Taylor Swift universe with us. 

PLUS, we open up some mail from some lovely listeners!!

One of the most unique and special parts about the Eras Tour is the surprise song section… it’s the part of the show where Taylor challenges herself to play songs across her entire discography, by mashing up lyrics and choruses to make each show individually special. 

It’s also a part of the show that Swifties from across the world tune in to watch! And of course, whichever songs Taylor plays at your shows, instantly become important to you. 

Lacey, Ana, and Amy get together in this special episode to rank their favorite surprise song mashups!! (This episode doesn’t include mashups performed in Canada as it was recorded before those shows took place)

In this replay episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we have officially entered THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT!

Before we deep dive into the music and lyrics of this album, we think it’s important to understand Taylor’s epilogue, as well as the prologue by Stevie Nicks. Both passages are important elements to the album as a whole, so let’s discuss the overall themes and ideas before we dive in!

Plus, Ana has a “working thesis” on how this album ties to Taylor’s discography as a whole!

And the best part - a very sweet surprise from a fellow Swiftie to help us kick off this era, and a thoughtful gift from Lacey’s sister!
