We are FINALLY breaking down and pairing cocktails to Taylor Swift's FIRST EVER SONG ever released. This song, unlike a few others that we've discussed off the debut album, is quite meaningful and full of poignant lyrics. Its choice to be Taylor's first ever lead single was interesting, but also quite brilliant.

Happy fourth of July from your fellow Americans! And in honor of this momentuous occasion, we have chosen one truly all-American Taylor Swift song to pair cocktails to and discuss. Boy do we love a good ol' sappy Taylor Swift love song! But So High School is way more than sappy love, it's reminiscent of a time we've all experienced, or maybe some who are currently experiencing: teenage giddiness! Taylor certainly shows that giddiness on this lovely track, whose sound we are absolutely loving and craving more of! We simply can't get enough of this song, even though Sam sometimes feels a little queesy over Tayvis and their showy relationship. For our Spotify listeners, take the poll to let us know which line of the song is better!

Yes, we did see that Taylor Swift literally performed Shake It Off at a bar in Nashiville this week!!! Why is she so obsessed with us?! In all seriousness though......wait a minute, this episode is meant to be fun! Who's talking about being serious? Just do as Taylor does and SHAKE IT OFF! We were so thrilled to FINALLY break down one of Taylor Swift's most famous songs. Let's be honest, this is one of the WORLD'S most famous songs! And yet, we both chose to make cocktails with vegetables in it?! Who are we? One thing is for certain, though this song has never been our favorite, like always, we can come around to appreciating a Taylor song for the impact that it has. Also, let's just have some fun! Shake It Off is definitely a fun song.

Happy Pride Month, Swiggies! We are celebrating by breaking down Taylor Swift's single from June 2019 preceding the Lover album.

Just a reminder that anyone of all beliefs, orientations, ethnicities, and cultural backgrounds are welcome on our podcast. Let us know which cocktails you would pair to You Need To Calm Down!

We had some techincal issues with our audio this week! Sorry for the lesser quality, but hopefully you forgive us. After all, we're only 119 episodes in to this podcast, so we're still working out the kinks....right? Do you believe us know? Or are you oh so quiet? We found this song to be absolutely worthy of an episode, especially following Taylor Swift's purchasing of her masters last week. Let us know what we missed in our breakdown of "Cassandra" by getting in touch with us below:

In today's episode, we celebrate Taylor Swift and her purchasing of her masters!!! Buckle in, because we spend the entire first half of the episode discussing this historical moment in musical history. Naturally, we were shocked and almost let down when we first discovered she may not be recoriding Reputation (Taylor's Version), but the more we understood and discussed, the happier we became for Taylor. We couldn't be more proud of her! Speaking of Reputation, it's been well over a year since we discussed a song off this iconic album...until now! This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, Taylor!

We came, we clowned, we acheived nothing. But baby Sam and Rachel had no idea what would come of the 2025 AMA's by the time of recording this episode, so they're filled with excitement and theories. Oh what fun they had.

We're back to our clowning as we approach the American Music Awards that Taylor's team has been leaving lots of clues for us to pay attention to. We've also got an (almost) new Reputation Taylor's Version song to react to! But first, Rachel wants to know how Sam's music festival went, so Sam shares the highlights of his time becoming an indie rocker for a weekend. He's also many degrees closer to Taylor Swift after his experience meeting a few iconic musicians! Our New Shit songs had us both excited about the heartfelt moments that musicians choose to share with us in their songwriting. Speaking of heartfelt, Sam chose the song this week and it's an age-old classic story of love. And surprisingly to both of us, the song Timeless contains no drama, no doubt, and no anxiety. It's a bit cheesy at times but overall romantic and special, especially considering Sam received this song at his Eras Tour concert back in July 2023.
