Maddie J.

Please discuss your favorite holiday music!!

Sophie Kimble

What do you think is the best genre/ aesthetic / theme Taylor should go for in her next album? Where do we go from the top of the world…

Joey

1. Everything wrong with Kim Kardashian (you touched on it in the Time POTY ep but I wanna hear you rant more) 2. I still want the tea with what happened with MIMBC/CBC 🫣

Christian

Rearrange the tracklist of Chappell Roan's album!

Kai Bishop

Happy holidays Snakes! 🐍 1. Do you think Taylor will ever own her original recordings? 2. What will be the best and worst re-record on rep? 3. Akin to the episode before Thanksgiving, What are your favorite/most special/important holiday traditions?

Sarah Walker

suggesting: can we have some tea on some of the unhinged shit you see on SwiftTok? OR i’ve seen a bit of discourse on how track 9s are “better” than track 5s - a snake ranking of track 9s?

GERARD

What do You think ts 11 will be, more of the same or a complete switch? Also do you really feel Travis is endgame as the whole world thinks an engagement is imminent?

Leslie

Something I've wanted to hear you guys talk about for a while is Taylor's tendency toward revisionist history or embellishment. Things like "Nobody physically saw me for a year," or when one of the big talking points on the 1989 press circuit was "I have a strict policy of never naming names in my songs." What are your favorite examples of this, why she does it, times you thought it was effective, times it backfired, etc.

Donna Aldrich

What are your favorite times Taylor's songs have been used in movies and TV shows? White Horse on Grey's Andnatomy is so classic, and recently I loved how The Bear used Love Story in the episode "Forks"

Belen

Must discuss the side part developing story 👀 ranking/discussing Taylor’s bangs/hair evolution and predictions of future hairology

Forty2times

I keep seeing all these weirdos stanning Joe bc they fell in love w him thru T's music. I never understood the allure bc there were snippets that made him (even in Rep) seem like a moody, pretentious f#ckboy that made her chase him, was ok w being her side piece, made her feel like a bad person at times & what bothers me the most strangely enough: he's been the "next big thing" for years bc he takes no risks. He's titties out for nothing. All his roles make him look good but he's forgettable. There's no cringe, no flavor, in even his early stuff. Even Robert Pattinson sparkled ✨️ & hated it in order to get his career traction. So, after that long tangent, was there a specific pt that you heard a song or interview BEFORE it was Jover that you were like...wow, this guy sucks?

reese !!

What were some of your favorite teen drama shows growing up or tv shows in general?

Leslie

Oooh yes I want mimbc tea too

Tacha

As far as the Rep TV vault tracks, do you think there will be any songs about Joe that make the cut, or will it all be Kimye tea and drama? And if she has really great songs about Joe in the vault, do you think they’ll remain in the vault just based on how negatively she seems to be looking back on that relationship now?

VK

The Selena debacle.. Still not quite sure what happened

Ellie Ray

Favorite Taylor interview moment?

Lindsay

Do you think the Taylor Swift “Lore” is having an outsized influence on swifties atm? Obviously the lore is a big part of the Taylor experience, but it should ideally never overshadow the music and some swifties or even the general public have become obsessed w it. Some people argue on Midnights the lore/inspiration is more interesting than the music, especially post-Joever. Do you guys agree, and do you think the interest in Taylor swift lore will increase or decrease on TS11?

Lindsay

goth punk moment of female rage at an entire social structure….

Dylan Philip

Can you guys kinda talk about the success of the pod so far? The fact that a year ago the Patreon didn't even exist and now you guys have merch? It's crazy. I know you guys touched on it before but I would love to hear your guys' thoughts on this journey so far, how you feel about it, and where else you think the podcast is gonna go.

Sultan

the downfall of ellen...LMAOOO

Rachel Bullock

I know everyone calls it "Midnights" but lately I've been seeing a lot more stans on Twitter who deeply appreciate the production, the general album thematically, and otherwise. I understand Reputation had a similar initial response from the fandom and public with stans and lukewarm reception making it more mixed with a massive tour to follow and more discussion about the thought behind and execution of the album with a rise in enjoyment over time and wanted to know if you think Midnights could be the next Reputation in that sense of evolving reception, now that it's clicking for people. I don't think it will ever be as big, but I do think it is going to end up being better received as time goes on in an exponential enough way to warrant comparison to some degree. Then again, I know nothing and need to take notes from the historians, so I want to know your thoughts on this topic! Thanks!

Rachel Bullock

Midnights with mid in all caps...I think it autocorrected the quoted text, sorry!

Coco C

Were there any signs at the time that Taylor and Big Machine weren’t seeing eye to eye / label holding Taylor back?

Zara Hennessy

Evolution of a housewife question - I remember Madeline saying she disliked Sutton from RHOBH and she is also my least favourite, tomato. Would like to hear your thoughts on the current drama?

Lisa

I miss her work with Martin and Shellback. I’m convinced Reputation is her best album IMHO because of their heavy contributions (especially Ready For It which I agree with Madeline is one of my favorite songs ever). It doesn’t seem like she’ll work with them again but she needs to! How do we make this happen?

Cynthia

With Taylor's massive unprecedented success this year-- what's next seriously-- her looks have changed too her lips at least and it appears she may go the way of such insanely altered megastars such as Beyonce or Madonna that can't stop trying to look younger and perfect-- it's all so creepy the amount of facial and body work these superstars do. I once read JLo spends 20K a month on her body and face and well just look at her.... Britney's distorted looks and all the others.... thoughts and opinions on all this work WOMEN in the industry feel compelled to undergo. Thank you!

C Mims

I would love to hear about how you think the Rep re-record is going to be with the arc of the album being about a relationship saving her when now she is so larger than life and that relationship is jover…and makes her angry. She somewhat deified or at least wrapped Joe in a golden glow in all the songs - there was a vulnerability and hopefulness to this album even as it came out punching and guns blazing. I just hope she can still sing them with all the angst and pathos they deserve even now. Looking back on a past relationship when you’re super young is one thing, but it’s different when you’re looking back on something fresh (relatively). Hopefully she can go galaxy brain and see her situation of a relationship helping her at one time and then ultimately ending as something many people go through (just not while the world is watching). I love rep and want the re-record to be really good. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Melissa Ann

Taylor coded songs - songs by other artists that could have been written by Taylor!

Melissa Ann

Blinkology - go off! Favorite Blackpink song, favorite member, member who is most likely to go solo, etc etc

Susannah Wallace

Would love to know more about the swiftie humiliation link circa 2014. Most hilarious things you saw/ did on tumblr for Taylor’s attention?

Bret King-Hurd

Right where you left me is about Harry Styles. I know it in my bone! I need the snakes opinions

Gianna

Taylor 2024 predictions. As in what will her year look like aside from Eras obviously lol. Releases, other projects, even personal life speculation if you want. Today is my birthday so you should pick me 😅

Ash

I know you touch on it a bit in 2014 PT. 2, but I am fascinated by The Agency and would love a whole episode deep dive of just their timeline/storylines. And the vocalists! Also, what is the process with the dancers? Are they as long term as the band and vocalists seem to be? Do they turn over every tour? Maybe this is discussed in the 2015, 2016, 2017 episodes (those are the only ones I haven't listened to yet) but I'm interested in the music family surrounding Taylor. I feel like they are so invisible to most of the world, but I have always loved seeing people like Paul and Amos be there all along!

Kenny James

Curious what you guys think of Taylor namedropping Kim in the Time interview. I obviously don't like Kim or Kanye but I am personally so burnt out on the 2016 drama and how Taylor has mythologized it to death over the years. I was kindof hoping this re-recording would be a chance to put the drama in the backseat and focus more on the quality of the record. Obviously the drama will come up regardless, but I thought we could at least steer away from making it the main focus.

briar

what’s your guys favorite song on guts and sour? what songs do you think olivia’s song writing abilities really shine through? and others where it seems weaker/more forced

sophia

i want to hear the lore of the snakes. back when you were on tumblr and twitter in the 20 teens, what moments stick out to you? what was your mind set at that time? crazy things that happened to you online with other swifties or fandoms? stories or tweets or moments that one of you remembers about the other? i want to hear whatever you remember from that time bc being a stan online then was a literally crazy. baby snakes deep dive please ❤️

Rachel

Between the jet emissions, the greed, the billionaredom of it all... Do you think there's going to be meaningful backlash, and will she deserve it? Been feeling off about her. She's happy to make public statements about silly things like Deux moi and a joke on a tv show, but she's dead silent about what should actually be important to her, currently and in the past few years.

Rachel

Look up the Vlogbrothers! Working their butts off to build a maternity hospital in Sierra Leone with only a fraction of the wealth Taylor has. They design their businesses to donate all profits. Does it just not occur to her to put in more effort towards things that don't directly benefit her?

Abby

Could you maybe talk about a world in which Taylor spills all in an interview in her 60s or 70s? Like Joni Mitchell style. All the Snakes better still be here to discuss the aftermath if she does lmao

Thea Sofie

I need to know the beef between Madeleine and Taylor Jenkins Reid! Since she muted daisy jones, Evelyn Hugo etc. on twitter 👀

Jade

Pls tell us why there was a live *goat* on stage during the Speak Now world tour. Like??? Why???????

Jade

Omg PLEASE yes!

blake

that goat was definitely fake mama
