Katie points out how the parallels of Zelda Fitzgerald's similar battles to Taylor's as a female writer, and their shared ghostwriting experiences. Sticking with the American Lit theme of Taylor's F. Scott Fitzgerald quote, the archers revisit the incredible sapphic poet that inspires Taylor's quill pen, Emily Dickinson. They compare Taylor's writing in the folklore prologue to two poems about secrets by Dickinson and find that they sing about the same skies full of secrets. Finally, they go through *all* of Taylor's lyrics about hiding, sneaking around, secrets, whispering, covering things up, and lying... Which go back to the beginning of her career.

In their LONG awaited return, The Archers explore one of the most reoccurring themes in Taylor Swift's music: f*ck the institution of marriage. First, they rave about the 2023 Grammy's and Taylor's L Word themed after party at the Chateau. Then, they rediscover and dive deeper into Taylor's passion for freedom and her Sagittarian nature to rebel, progress, and push limits in these three songs. The Archers use this season 3 premiere to celebrate Taylor's boldness for writing Speak Now, the fight or flight response of Sagittarius in Peace, and her perfect capturing of comphet, cis-heteronormativity in Midnight Rain.

Then, they discuss the hairpin drop of the week: niceboyed and the Queer essay that Taylor could be linking herself to. Before getting into their analysis of Taylor’s Track Fives, they quickly share their eagerness for Karma and the rest of the Midnights album. Taylor’s Track Fives include Cold As You, White Horse, Dear John, All Too Well, All You Had To Do Was Stay, Delicate, My Tears Ricochet, Tolerate It, and now You’re On Your Own, Kid… They unpack the invisible thread of themes of anxiety and battles, and ponder what the newest Track Five will be about.

With the approach of Midnights, we wanted to give Taylor Swift's poetry the recognition it deserves by revisiting poems she wrote as a child: A Monster In My Closet and Lindsey Claire, as well as the three poems she wrote during the reputation era: The Trick To Holding On, Why She Disappeared, and If You're Anything Like Me. Along with doing queer analysis of each poem, we discuss the reincarnation of Emily Dickinson through Taylor and her flower-decorated pages.

Rolling Stone article, the Evelyn Hugo-ness of it all, and manifestations for the Gaylor community. They read the prologue for Midnights and discuss the heartbreaking lines (i.e.: “self made cages”). They reflect on the meaning of Daylight, and the Lover album’s original title track in contrast to Midnights. Finally, they take a look at every lyric of Taylor’s about midnight(s) and nighttime in general, and dream up possibilities for the album.
