Come join the girls for their last session of the podcast! Brianna, Paije, and Janine get together one last time to share their thoughts on the closing of The Eras Tour. Then, they share their own ideal Eras Tour setlist.    Thanks again for all the time you've dedicated to this podcast over the last year and a half. You were more than just a short time. We had the time of our lives fighting dragons with you! 

Join Brianna and Paije for their last ever deep dive! This session is all about Taylor's most recent track 5: So Long, London. 

Welcome back Swifties! Brianna and Paije have returned after a brief hiatus, but they come baring some bittersweet news. After lots of thought and deliberation, the girls have decided to retire the podcast. There are still a few more sessions to come so fret not! But be sure to stay tuned for the last few episodes because, just like the Eras Tour, the last few shows will be extra special. For example, in this week's episode, Brianna and Paije unpack one of Taylor's most gut-wrenching track fives: tolerate it--- a song that, obviously, neither of them can relate to at all in the slightest way. 

Taylor's back in the office, which means the girls have lots to talk about! This week, Brianna and Paije share their thoughts on Taylor's newest Eras Tour outfits. Then, in honor of the long awaited arrival of the TTPD + The Anthology vinyl, they dive into the lyrics of How Did It End? and Brianna brings the mood down with a vivid description of what the death rattle actually is.    **To skip the news and get right to the main topic, go to 1:04:03 

This week's session begins with a lengthy discussion on the Rise and Fall of Chappell Roan. Brianna and Paije discuss the many criticisms she has been receiving and how that compares to Taylor and other artists.

Feel free to reach out and share which eras you think The Tortured Poet fits!    **To skip the news and get right to the main topic, go to 53:13

Buckle up and prepare for many a tangents in this episode! After a week off, the girls struggle to maintain any semblance of order.

In this week's session, Brianna and Paije finish their discussion on Taylor's most overrated and underrated songs. After their discussion of Taylor's final night in London (during which Brianna officially retires from clowning forever), the girls go through Taylor's five most recent albums and share what songs they think don't get enough love and which songs they think might be a little overhyped.    **To skip the news and get right to the main topic, go to 1:00:26

After a lengthy news segment recapping the troubling news from Vienna and Taylor's shows in London (minus the final night), Brianna and Paije go through Taylor's first 6 studio albums and share which songs they feel might not be appreciated enough and which songs might be a little too appreciated. Brianna also spends an embarrassing amount of time clowning for a Rep TV announcement that never came. She'll be officially turning in her rainbow wig and red nose on the next episode, so stay tuned!    **To skip the Vienna discussion, go to 27:54 ****To skip the entire news segment, go to 49:16

Happy Pride! This week's session is dedicated to all the girls, gays, and theys! In this episode, Brianna and Janine get surprisingly heated as they rate all of Taylor's albums on the Kinsey Scale, a visual model used to determine how homo or heterosexual someone/something is at any given moment. They discuss everything from the songs to the aesthetics to the use of pronouns in an attempt to answer the age old question: How gay is this?    ** To skip the news and get right to the main topic, go to 30:14

In this week's session, Brianna and Paije revisit Taylor's 5 Stages of Heartbreak playlists, now featuring Tortured Poets songs! In the news segment, the girls discuss all of Taylor's most recent surprise song mash-ups, as well as the many haters she's been accumulating lately (which for some reason includes Billie Eilish???). Then they review which TTPD songs were added to which stage of heartbreak and share their thoughts on each placement.    ***To skip the news and get right to the main topic, go to 1:06:05

With so much to talk about in this episode, the girls struggle to keep their thoughts in order. It should come as no surprise to anyone that this week's session focuses entirely on The Eras Tour (Taylor's Newest Version). Brianna and Paije discuss all of the many changes made to the setlist and share their opinions on the Tortured Poets set, otherwise known as Female Rage: The Musical. 

In this week's session, the girls are going back into the asylum to revisit Taylor's latest album. With lots of mixed reviews out there, Brianna, Paije, and Janine discuss their thoughts on what the media has had to say about the album, and they share their own rankings now that the album has had some time to settle. 

A chaotic weekend has led to this chaotic episode, in which Brianna, Paije, and Janine review the evidence presented by The Chairman herself. Taylor's surprise release of The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology gave the girls plenty to talk about. Without further ado, we hereby conduct this post mortem...

It is T-minus one week until The Tortured Poets Department changes the world forever, and this week's session is dedicated to the chaotic playlists that Taylor just launched. After discussing some of the *super messy* rumors that have recirculated about Joe and some potential infidelity, Brianna and Paije discuss their thoughts on Taylor's selections for each stage of heartbreak. They share their own picks (which they chose before Taylor even debuted these playlists!) and analyze the implications of some of the song choices on these playlists. 

With Taylor's newest album on the horizon, the girls decide to take a look back at Taylor's first self-owned album. This week's session is dedicated to the somewhat overlooked, but all too crucial, album Lover. In this episode, Brianna and Paije talk about what this album signified in Taylor's career, as well as unpack all of the "Easter eggs" that her and Joe might not have been as rock solid as fans had assumed they were.    **To skip the news and get right to the main topic, go to 32:47

In honor of one of Taylor's most recent, chaotic mash-ups, this week's session is dedicated to Taylor's most vulnerable song off of folklore. After a relatively short news segment, the girls take a deep dive into the cascade ocean wave blues of the song "peace." Brianna, Paije, and Janine discuss the song's (now, somewhat ironic) message and their personal connections to the song.    **To skip the news segment, go to 29:49**

What do you mean Taylor is releasing a new album? What do you mean she's been working on it for two years?? What do you mean track five is called "So Long, London"??? In this week's session, the girls freak out over all the new developments that have occurred since they last recorded. In their longest episode yet, Brianna, Paije, and Janine discuss everything from the Grammys to the Super Bowl and share all of their many predictions/expectations for Taylor's newest surprise: The Tortured Poets Department.
