We Had the Best Day with Taylor Swift

We are getting a new album at midnight and we are BACK BABY.  This episode is all about our excitement for the new Taylor Swift Album that we are getting TONIGHT... so it will basically only be relevant for a few hours and after that we will be so thrilled with all the things we got wrong.

This week on the pod we are covering the only cover that Taylor Swift ever deemed to put on any of her 10 studio albums.  What is it about THIS indie alt rock song that spoke to her?  Taylor has said that she considers her songwriting the reason she has had such a long career, so perhaps that is why Untouchable was the first and last cover, but still... WHY?  Join us to ponder that existential question as well as an incredibly drawn out coverage of the Brazil Eras Tour shows.

We like the way you sound, Taylor Swift!  This week on the pod we dive into the first bonus track from Fearless.  The two of us put on our sneaky detective caps on to learn if we can deduce things about her later romances from lyrical motifs she uses in Jump then Fall.  We also FINALLY have the return of the Eras Tour so we obvioulsy had to devote time to all of the shenanigans this past weekend (think: Karma is the guy on the Chiefs).   Things mentioned in this episode  Taylor's postponed Argentina show Airlines waived change fees b/c of postponed show Mama Kelce's Superbowl jacket Taylor performing on Dancing w the Stars Travis & Jason's Podcast    https://linktr.ee/beginagainpod Music by Leila Sunier This podcast is in no way related to or endorsed by Taylor Swift, her companies, or record labels.  All opinions are our own. 

We sing Hallelujah with our sweet Tennesee Christian girlie b/c we are are leaning into this season of change!  Change was the final track off of the original release of Fearless, written about finding success in the music industry and how her life was forever changed.  I am very convinced this is one of her more explicitly religious songs so... if you're interested in that!  Join us!    Things mentioned in this episode  New Eras Tour Dates The Pan-American Highway The ACMA Performance The Walls of Jericho Music Labels Trying to ban Re-Records The Medici Family & it's patronage    https://linktr.ee/beginagainpod Music by Leila Sunier This podcast is in no way related to or endorsed by Taylor Swift, her companies, or record labels.  All opinions are our own. 

We must protect Andrea Swift at all costs!  This week's episode is all about Taylor's beloved tribute to her very best friend, her mom!  Andrea has been a guiding force in Taylor's life since she was knocking on the doors of record studios at 14 and absolutely deserves so many beautiful songs all about her.  Love love love The Best Day and love love love Andrea.   Things mentioned in this episode Matilda Fun Facts about Andrea Swift Screaming/Crying Love The Best Day Music Videos (OG) (Taylor's Version) Lady Gaga's Jazz Residency Taylor Swift becoming a Kennedy Tom Hiddleston Hearts TS    https://linktr.ee/beginagainpod Music by Leila Sunier This podcast is in no way related to or endorsed by Taylor Swift, her companies, or record labels.  All opinions are our own. 

If you were not already aware... we are less than 24 hours away from 1989 (Taylor's Version).  So we recorded a retrospective of the original era for the internet to enjoy.  We cover the original album promotion, the arrival of Tree Paine, the major players (i.e. rumored love interests)... WHO THE GIRL SQUAD WAS (!?), and more!   Things mentioned in this episode Tree Paine Taylor Swift's Grammy Speech The Girl Squad The Vogue Article recreating the Big Sur road trip    https://linktr.ee/beginagainpod Music by Leila Sunier This podcast is in no way related to or endorsed by Taylor Swift, her companies, or record labels.  All opinions are our own. 

If we've learned anything these past few months, we know that Joe Jonas still does not know how to break up with someone in person.  This week we dive into one of Taylor's more messy public breakups, as told through Forever & Always.  She really was out to get Joe Jonas with this one... she even went for him in an SNL monologue!   Things mentioned in this episode Cruel Summer #1!

Screaming and crying and listening to this pod in the rain... we're back baby!  This week we discuss the ERAS TOUR MOVIE, and also another song off of Fearless.  This song is such a bop, as long as you don't read too deeply into the lyrics... maybe that's why she has not performed it live since the original Fearless Era in 2009/2010?  Also if you want a detailed popcorn recipe, we definitely spend way too much time on it for a podcast that is definitely not about popcorn.   Things mentioned in this episode The Eras Tour Movie Sheridan's Mom's Popcorn Recipe People being A LOT at the Eras Tour Movie Taylor and Travis height difference "Seemingly Ranch" Travis' Hot One's Episode Travis being a feminist CTE (lol) Dax Shepard & JVN The Harry Styles dance    https://linktr.ee/beginagainpod Music by Leila Sunier This podcast is in no way related to or endorsed by Taylor Swift, her companies, or record labels.  All opinions are our own. 

... but we kind of ARE sorry about how behind schedule we are.  Only kind of... it's hard to keep to a schedule when you're traveling lol.  While this song is not one that the two of us think of when we remember the Fearless Era, it was a huge part of her live performance rotation in 2009.  We also discuss Justin Timberlake, dating as a mega-celebrity, and    Things mentioned in this episode Taylor Swift calling Justin Timberlake the "Frank Sinatra of our Generation" 1989 World Tour Concert Film Rhine Swimming Taylor and Taylor Lautner's podcast You're Not Sorry x Justin Timberlake Mashup You're Not Sorry x Back to December Mashup    https://linktr.ee/beginagainpod Music by Leila Sunier This podcast is in no way related to or endorsed by Taylor Swift, her companies, or record labels.  All opinions are our own. 

... and then Tell Me Why this episode is so late.  (JK I already know the answer, it's because I have been traveling in central europe and was being bad about my own deadlines).  Tell me why is such a bop, we honestly did not realize how negative the lyrics were until we were preparing for this episode lol.  Low key, being nasty in a cute fun way might be one of Taylor's greatest superpowers.  Anyways, enjoy the episode and wish me a happy birthday because I'm uploading this on my birthday.   Things mentioned in this episode The Eras Tour Movie Tell Me Why Live in Manchester Tell Me Why on the Fearless Tour Taylor & Amos Heller inear malfunction Amanda Gorman Is Taylor Swift a Poet?
