On this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, Nick, Ana, Amy, and Lacey dive deep into track seven on Evermore: “Happiness.” From Taylor's own reflections in the Willow live chat and her Apple Music interview with Zane Lowe, to parallels with The Great Gatsby and Easter eggs leading into Midnights and The Life of a Showgirl, we explore the hidden meanings, lyrics, and emotions behind this deceptively titled ballad. We also break down how “happiness” fits into Taylor's larger storytelling—grief, reinvention, and moving forward after heartbreak—and debate fun Swiftie trivia like Taylor's longest songs, the caterpillar-to-butterfly lyric connections, and listener voicemails that tie songs across albums.

In this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we break down “Tolerate It”—the Track 5 on Evermore, and one of the most heart-wrenching songs in Taylor Swift's entire discography. From lyrical parallels to Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier to raw Eras Tour performance memories, we explore why this specific type of hurt still resonates with Swifties everywhere. We dive into Taylor's genius use of metaphor (“I made you my temple, my mural, my sky”), discuss the infamous Track 5 tradition, and reflect on the live Eras Tour performance—and speculate why “Tolerate It” was cut from later setlists. Plus: Easter eggs, hidden references to Joe Alwyn, the Aaron Dessner connection, and a Gilmore Girls prop surprise that'll blow your mind. Featuring the bittersweet farewell of our beloved intern Saahir, this episode is packed with Swiftie tears, fan theories, and listener love. Whether you're here for the Evermore storytelling or Track 5 therapy, this episode celebrates everything that makes Taylor Swift a lyrical legend.

Taylor Swift surprised fans with the release of “evermore” on December 11, 2020. Before “13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast” existed, Nick, Ana, Amy, and Lacey came together to record an album breakdown on December 17, 2020, which was at the time shared on different podcasts. In this episode, you will hear the very first idea of a Taylor Swift podcast, theories about the re-recording process and how that could play out. Hear the true first reactions to the “evermore” album, before these beloved Swifties had an entire podcast dedicated to Taylor's music. How do their thoughts compare now, years later? Did any emotions hold up? Did any songs change in favor? Enjoy other firsts, like first speculation of how a Taylor Swift concert could look, a warning about trying to get tickets in the future, and other theories that are still being discussed today, the Woodvale trilogy, in real time.  We hope you enjoy this time capsule episode as we get started with our “evermore” era in 2025.

In light of the biggest news in Taylor Swift history - Taylor buying back her masters - we thought this would be a good time to revisit the reason that Taylor was re-recording her work in the first place! At the start of this podcast nearly 4 years ago, one of the very first episodes we did was a breakdown of the legal and emotional battle between Taylor Swift, her old record label, Scooter Braun, and more. This podcast started alongside Taylor's mission to re-record her work and gain back ownership of everything. Given the great news in her success, a lot of new fans (or old fans who needed a refresher) were curious as to why this was all so important. This week's episode is a repost of our original "Revenge of the Re-recordings" episode from 2021, so everything you hear dates back to that.  This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Benny Blanco has worked behind the scenes on some of the biggest songs in music, but in this episode, the hitmaker steps into the spotlight to get personal. Sitting down with host Nick Major, Benny opens up about his relationship with Selena Gomez, from the surprising moment she first said "I love you" to the nerves that hit him right before he proposed. He also discusses the making of their new album I Said I Love You First, sharing how the creative process naturally unfolded in their home rather than a traditional studio. But this episode isn't just about music. Benny reveals why he refuses to fly, sharing the story of a terrifying flight that changed his life and how he now takes cross-country road trips and week-long cruises instead. Speaking of cruises, he reminisces about the time he and Ed Sheeran wrote Divide on a boat—while sharing studio space with an elderly woman who unknowingly interrupted the creation of Castle on the Hill and Happier. The conversation also takes a turn into life beyond music. Benny talks about his dream of one day becoming a dad, his love for spontaneous songwriting, and why relationships built on fun and support make all the difference. He also shares thoughts on growing up in Virginia, his hilarious take on people who still leave their phone volume on, and why he's perfectly fine never going on tour. From unexpected career moments to deep reflections on love, fears, and the joys of taking the long way around, this episode gives you a whole new perspective on one of music's most influential producers.

Wise men once said.... listening to Taylor Swift makes you smarter! Did you know that "The Albatross" was inspired by an 18th century poem? Leave it to Taylor to educate us on poetry that we never knew about!  In this song, Taylor takes a story about how in olden times sailors saw albatross birds as signs of bad luck and misfortune, and flips the script to take the power as a woman who is often seen as an enemy.  Nick, Ana, Amy, and Lacey discuss the lyrics, the storytelling, the inspiration, the history, the poetry... everything that goes into an outstanding Taylor Swift song on THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT.  THIS PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY RUFF GREENS!
