Welcome back to the yearly format. 2018 was an awkward, in-between kind of phase for Taylor Swift and her fandom. It was uncharacteristically quiet for a year of an album cycle: there were some months where she wasn’t pictured at all, and her actual public appearances beyond the Reputation Stadium Tour were few and far between. Nevertheless, we found a lot to say about it. But of course, The Snakes cover the record-breaking tour, the setlist, guest appearances, and outfits. There are a few moments of hilarity: Katy Perry’s literal olive branch, the announcement of Taylor’s starring role as Bombalurina in Cats, and her first foray into activism. It was the year of TaydemoCAT. We end this transitional period with a stormy horizon: a new record deal with Republic and Universal.

An edited version of this will be out on Swiftologist later this week – but I had to cut out all our swears, and I KNOW you guys wanna see us say serving cunt etc etc so here's the unedited video for you.

Shelley-Marie

We’re eating good today! Thank you for your service 🫶🐍

Finn

We cheered!!!!!!!!!

Sophie M

omg can’t believe i’m gonna see you guys at ur show in a couple weeks !!! thanks for always feeding us ily xxx

Joanna

I think Taylor is so neurotic she would go out of her way to learn everything about football once she realized she was into Travis. Like yeah she’s doin it for her man but I still think she’d do it all the way like the psycho that she is.. not to say Mahomes isn’t absolutely kissing ass lol. Side note: you guys look so good in this! Madeline’s eyeshadow is *chefs kiss* belissimo! And Zack is literally glowing!

Alicia

Yessss - Thank you so much!!! Seated. Ready. Let's do this!!!

Ally ❤️

Wow!!!!! 2018! I’m so excited! Thank you so much Snakes 🐍 🐍

Free roaming heirloom turkey at the lakes was truly the happiest turkey. At the end of the day, she couldn’t have been with him, bc taking him out of that environment and into a pen in New York wouldn’t have been ethical whatsoever

V

It kills me that the idea of fun for the turkey and Taylor was going to William Wordsworth’s GRAVE🤣 in the middle of nowhere🤣 that’s what ppl have to understand if they want to truly get guilty as sin?😂I don’t think either of them left the place full of vitamin D and smiling and cheering.

I am proud to say I have never been a Jennifer Lawrence fan. She’s full of shit. I had my suspicions confirmed when her clear pick me behavior had her trip and fall not ONCE but TWICE at the Oscars…bitch please. It wasn’t even cute the first time. ‘Taylor visits a falconry…’ That’s some William Bowery bs right there…thinking he’s a falcon when we all know what he is. Gobble Gobble 😘 Thanks for the food snakes🤘

the stark difference in reception from the GP between the rep tour and the eras tour is fucking crazy in retrospect. i remember walking into my office job the monday after my rep show and my boss going, "oh, was she like... good???" (side note the CEO of that job was the long-term girlfriend of one BOB LEFSETZ... i didn't know this information at the time... i no longer work there not because of that but skjgnkajdh you know) and NOW???? our dentists are going. our doctors. moms. dads. babies. senators. your cashier at CVS. my aunt. thank you for making 2018 interesting!

Monika

I think it's obvious from what you guys laid out that Perez must've had some dirt on her or didn't put out some info about her when he could've or just never really attacked her like he did the other girlies so maybe she feels sort of indebted to him in a way? Maybe he was a defender of her during the Kanye shit? she remembers those things for life lol Or maybe he told her about some of the Karlie whispers?

Sara woods

This was so fucking good! Thank you guys so much for all you do!!🖤🖤🖤

Sally Ho

Why does Zach come off so professional all the time but in all flashbacks he’s THE agent of chaos? LENA???????

Joanna

“You know what that is? Growth.”

Cynthia

Madeline's eyeshadow is so pretty! and her hair too!!

robbie williams was europe's taylor in the early 2000s, i kid you not. he was HUGE. his show at knebworth was one with the hugest crowds ever (100,000+ people if i remember correctly) and he actually wrote some cool music - at least in the beginning. i suggest watching "come undone", "rock d.j.", "no regrets", "sexed up". he was slammed for not being a "real" musician but more of an entertainer and songwriter but addressed it very openly and never pretended to be a musical genius. he eventually retired at the peak of his career due to mental struggles and addiction and moved to the states (and oh lord, he was happy no-one knew him over there, so he could take a long needed break). and yes, he started out in one of the biggest boy groups of all times - at least in europe. to this day, people in europe think that robbie was a global superstar back in the day and it is kind of weird that he was this huge thing over here and not known at all over there :-P haha, that's a lot of robbie williams talk :-P i like the video of him singing with taylor and you can tell that the crowd - even though they were younger and he was not that active anymore - knew exactly who he was. ok, my robbie talk is over 😆

CyrusNomadix

Not Swiftologist coming for Slow Hands and Every Single Album 😭 Starting to get personal y'all lol

Cynthia

Surprise songs night two in Lyon- Madeline's fav on the piano; beautiful incredibly moving performance of Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus.

maryna

how long were her shows during reputation? just wondering...

Ula Baśka

Eras Tour length - I think she made the concert so long, so that she can have room in the future for Debut by cutting down on some songs - maybe from Folklore. This helps her keep the duration of the concert the same around the world and still gives her room for change. Maybe in the future the setlist will become more balanced (except for Speak Now, cricket)

Sonya

I mean she likes the Sydney zoo a lot

Sonya

But I agree she has a runaway bride with her significant others where she starts talking like them or picking up their interests… it was kinda cool the homey side of me to see a clip of her seeing in the fortnight short clip. Heheh

Aliza Lieb

MADELINE YOUR EYESHADOW IS STUNNING omg

Courtney Erat

me being the sugarlandologist from ages 9-18 🧍‍♀️

Lacey Pinto

Anyone else pause it when they mentioned the 2018 AMA performance of I did something bad and go to YouTube and watch it before continuing the podcast? 🖤

Yuliya

Guys, love you both! But consider adding pictures, especially when discussing past visuals and outfits. It would add so much value for us ❤️

Syd

Madeline I LOVE your eyeshadow for this episode! ✨

Heather

Even the ologist gets possessed by the hand heart behavior every now and again

Nicole DeRosa

For how little Taylor gave us in 2018 - this episode was SO fascinating. 2018 feels like a lifetime ago and Madeline you are 100% correct how Rep felt so much more intimate. Interesting how this was right before the plot was lost and the aggressive Easter egging started😭 This is why EOAS is THEEEE Taylor swift podcast

Amy Versprille

I love this! I just wish I could see the photos you are referring to. I love you both! Good luck on the London show!!!

Maria

Appreciate the Ready For It love. It’s one of my favorite songs of hers.
