Swiftly Poding Along

Sophie and Esther discuss Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince from the album Lover - a song following two parallel storylines of a fictional high-school romance, and Taylor Swift's relationship with the current political climate. Faking pageant smiles and running through rose thorns are a few examples of images she conjures in this song. Follow us on Instagram @swiftlypodingalong

With special guest Jo, Sophie and Esther discuss 'I Think He Knows' from Taylor Swift's seventh album Lover. This entrancingly addictive song is not only a bop but also contains some beautifully intricate lyrics.  Check us out on Instagram @swiftlypodingalong

Tamara joins Esther and Sophie to talk about Track 4 from Lover: The Man. These three cover everything from incinerated parcels to implicit sexism to inexplicable releases.  Follow us on Instagram @swiftlypodingalong

Sophie and Esther discuss the title track of the album, Lover. They chat about the intricate details Taylor Swift uses in her songwriting to describe her adoration and love for... her lover. Although it is not only the song that is intricately detailed; everything from the music video to the remixes each weave a different story for the same love.

Sophie and Esther are joined by two special guests - Stan and Macy of Outline! They talk about the second track from Lover (Cruel Summer), what it’s like being a young musician and how some of these lyrics are just so confusing! Follow us on Instagram @swiftlypodingalong and Outline @outline.music

Esther and Sophie are back with a new season of Swiftly Poding Along where they look at Sophie's favourite album, Lover! I Forgot That You Existed (the first track on the album) is a delightfully savage way of moving on from the darkness of the reputation era, however, who is it about? Kanye or Calvin?

In the final episode of season 1, Esther and Sophie talk about track 13 from Fearless: Change. As this is Sophie's favourite song from the album, she talks about why it holds a place on her 'Get Psyched' playlist, and there is a dispute over the ranking! Although this is the last episode of Season 1, we will back soon with another season! Follow us on Instagram @swiftlypodingalong

This week, special guest Millie joins Sophie and Esther to talk about The Best Day; Track 12 from Fearless by Taylor Swift. After delighting in the wholesome nature of this song, they take a trip down memory lane and chat about their experiences of the 1989 World Tour back in 2015 and what it's like to have grown up as a swiftie. Follow us on Instagram @swiftlypodingalong for more updates!

After a week off, Sophie and Esther are back with Esther's favourite song from Fearless: Forever and Always! They discuss the contrast of angst and sadness (original vs piano version) and the best sassy moments whilst recording in the same room for the first time ever!  Follow us on Instagram @swiftlypodingalong
