Nicki & Andie, best pals and long-time fans, cover all things Taylor Swift in several series: album reviews, themed groupings of songs, and individual song reviews. With a focus on lyrical breakdowns, production choices, and of course the vast range of emotions that T-Swift songs elicit in all of us. Whether you’re new to T-Swift, a veteran fan, or even a reluctant non-Swiftie friend of ours that we’re forcing into listening (hehe) there’s something for everyone here.
