The shot heard around the world. A highly demanded recap of the final half of Taylor Swift's most disastrous year. We begin our story in the Getaway Car, and quickly head off to the UK where the Cobra engages in some truly deranged behavior, before a whirlwind summer of romance, drama, and truly great outfits. Hiddleswift is at its peak when the walls come crashing down: Kim Kardashian's illegal, doctored recording of Taylor Swift's conversation with Kanye West, leads to the #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty and #SnakeGate. The aftershock of a public flogging reverberates throughout the year, as the Cobra wavers in her commitment to remaining unbothered. Throughout, The Snakes take a critical view of the cancelation while painting the picture of what it was like to live through it as a fan in real-time.

Chrissy

Just got done listening and you guys did not disappoint. I enjoyed every minute of it! Thank you for doing god’s work recounting 2016 💕

Alex

This was nothing short of amazing. When Zach said “you live in Australia so worry about that” my Australian self was humbled!

I've never told this to anyone before, but story time! I was super fucking depressed around summer 2016 (like close to ending it depressed) and i shit you not when I say that this drama kept me alive. It was such stupid fun that it literally made me not kill myself to wait for the tea. Damn shit, my 15 year old self was unhinged, but this literally saved my life 😳

I have a crackhead conspiracy theory that the reason Kim and Kanye came so hard for Taylor is because she was going to have a brief reality tv show. That’s why the girl squad was so public and such a specific brand, it was going to be some fake show about her and her friends, to further push her domination in this era. Sadly with snake gate and stuff the show never came through

I will always remember I was at Watch Hill the weekend before her infamous party and I will always resent myself for not going one mere week later 😂

So if we see Taylor and MH’s grandmother in pics, safe to assume Getaway Car part 2? 🤞🏼

Alex Bardi

I need to see the video of Nick Jonas!! where is it?

Jason

Little Big Town was the surprise guest in Pittsburgh on the 1989 tour and they sang "Pontoon." 8 years later and I still get mad about it! It was so funny when this song was brought up.

A Mortensen

great episode! that year was such a shit show. it was not surprising she fell off the radar for so long. how about an episode about the separation anxiety we all suffered by mama disappearing?

Ruby J

*Commence hounding Madeline about what mean thing she wanted to say about one direction when y’all were talking about I don’t wanna live forever *

gabi

where's the video format/cutting room floor excerpts? i need it 😭

RiskBat

Had to look up those pics of Taylor and Demi and LOL is all I have to say. Thank you for this masterpiece of pop culture. There is so much Taylor folklore that just did not make sense to me before finding this podcast.

A Mortensen

i love the evolution of a snake podcast, but the only problem i have is that i can't always find the outfits that you are talking about, so in the future it would be great if you could post a slideshow of the pictures you are talking about somewhere!!!

Janine

love the ep! one thing you guys touched on that i think was almost bigger for her “cancellation” was her lack of political voice at such a charged time and i definitely agree as a society we really don’t need pop stars opinions, taylor’s team should have shut down the nazi association at the very least like i still don’t get why that was allowed that to go on for so long
