Podcast appearances and mentions of Max Martin

fWotD Episode 3097: How You Get the Girl Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 27 October 2025, is How You Get the Girl."How You Get the Girl" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her fifth studio album, 1989 (2014). She wrote it with its producers, Max Martin and Shellback. An electropop and bubblegum pop song, "How You Get the Girl" is a ballad that features acoustic guitar strums and a heavy disco beat. The lyrics find Swift telling a man how to win his ex-girlfriend back after their breakup. Some music critics praised the song as catchy and energetic; they particularly highlighted the chorus and how the track combines acoustic and electronic elements. Less enthusiastic reviews considered the production generic and the lyrics lightweight. "How You Get the Girl" charted on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart in the United States and on the Canadian Hot 100 chart in Canada. It received certifications in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Swift included "How You Get the Girl" in the set list of the 1989 World Tour (2015), with choreography that evoked the musical film Singin' in the Rain (1952). She performed it on some dates of her later tours, the Reputation Stadium Tour (2018) and the Eras Tour (2023–2024). The track was used in a Diet Coke advertisement prior to its release.Following a 2019 dispute regarding the ownership of her back catalog, Swift re-recorded the song as "How You Get the Girl (Taylor's Version)" for her fourth re-recorded album, 1989 (Taylor's Version) (2023). She produced the new version with Christopher Rowe. Music critics believed that the re-recording had a vibrant sound and an enhanced production quality. The track reached number 29 on the Billboard Global 200 chart and the top 40 on the national charts of Canada, New Zealand, and the United States.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:14 UTC on Monday, 27 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see How You Get the Girl on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Joanna.

At the beginning of October, Taylor Swift released her 12th studio album 'The Life Of A Showgirl'. Swift reunited with producer Max Martin for this album, who worked alongside her on the hugely successful Red, 1989 and Reputation records.However, her latest album hasn't been as universally lauded has her previous work. Having recently finished her Era's Tour, is Swift suffering from creative fatigue?John Caddell & Dee Reddy spoke to Matt on Tuesday's The Last Word.Hit the 'Play' button on this page to hear the piece.

T. Kyle and Brad discuss Taylor Swift's new album ‘The Life of a Showgirl,' including Internet reactions, promo, the Max Martin and Shellback of it all, the alleged Charli xcx diss, Travis Kelce's “Wood,” and thoughts on her post-Eras Tour career.

This is an emergency broadcast from the EIC newsroom, on the third of October 2025 Taylor Swift released her twelfth studio album, The Life Of A Show Girl.Here at EIC headquarters we had been warming to Taylor after a collective indifference, but it seems we may have potentially picked a bad time to enSwifticate ourselves. TLOAS tracks were leaked just before release, and immediately, the drama began.The album was recorded in Sweden with the producers Max Martin and Shellback, who she made "22," "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," "Blank Space," "Style," "Shake It Off," "…Ready For It?" and "Delicate."with, mostly during the European leg of the Eras Tour in 2024.The album consists of 12 tracks, with one featuring Sabrina Carpenter. It sold 2.7 million copies in traditional album sales — which include physical and digital formats — in its first day in the U.S. That's according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company, breaking her previous record for most first week sales with TTPD.In the now infamous episode of her American Football playing fiance's podcast, Taylor described the album as “What was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant. It just comes from like the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life.“And so that effervescence has come through on this record' she said ‘that the goal of the album was “melodies that were so infectious that you're almost angry at it” and also lyrics that “are as vivid, crisp, focused, and completely intentional.”‘This is the record I've been wanting to make for a very long time. Every single song is on this album for hundreds of reasons … It's just right.” she said.Controversy started with Actually Romantic, which is rumoured to be about Charli xcx, but that isn't her only eyebrow raiser. Some are upset at the highly sexualised nature of tracks like ‘wood', some are critcising her for releasing multiple variants with bonus tracks, or different recordings, to appeal to collectors and boost album sales by counting each variant as a separate purchase; some of the promo videos that used QR codes or other interactive elements were flagged by people online as possibly being made partly with generative AI, which has caused a stir not least because Swift has been vocal about artists needing control of their work and masters, but also because of the awful instance when people made a deepfake of her. However that is unconfirmed.What is confirmed is that for the first time potentially in Swift's career, it's her own fans saying they don't like the album, or are disappointed.We try to see the wood from the trees... see what we did there ;)Thanks so much for all of your takes on this topic, we appreciate you all!

Sequins shimmer, spotlights glow, and Bianca and Julian are ready to take centre stage with another in-depth conversation—a three-hour deep dive into Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl. For the first time in Anything But Toto history, they're reviewing a second album by the same artist. And with Taylor's latest release stirring up plenty of discourse, there's no shortage of opinions. This isn't just any pop album: it's a polarizing pivot that trades in the soft indie dream-pop of Jack Antonoff for the punchy, radio-ready precision of Max Martin. But does the swap pay off? Taylor herself called Showgirl a focused, autobiographical statement—a spiritual successor to 1989 and Reputation. Bianca and Julian put that claim to the test, unpacking the album's concept, lyricism, melodies, and the glossy production from Martin and Shellback. But they don't stop at the tracklist: the duo dives into Taylor's history, politics and business decisions, and the Life of a Showgirl theatrical event. So sit back, don your sequins and feather headpiece, and take a peek behind the curtain. Email us: anythingbuttoto@gmail.com Theme music by: Daniel Konikoff

Você sabe como é a vida de uma showgirl?

Taylor Swift's twelfth album has sparked endless speculation about who each song is "really about," but that might be the wrong question entirely. The Life of a Showgirl isn't biography, it's polyphonic auto-fiction, where Swift writes from multiple character perspectives while blurring the lines between autobiography and theatrical performance. The album's "showgirl sound" traces from Shakespearean tragedy (Ophelia's drowning rewritten as salvation) through Golden Age Hollywood orchestration to contemporary pop production with Max Martin and Shellback. Unusual musical choices like the jarring five-measure phrase in "Fate of Ophelia" reinforce the album's central theme: the tension between public performance and private reality. By treating the album as a theatrical show rather than a celebrity tell-all, listeners can finally hear what Swift is actually saying… or can they?

Sören “Sulo” Karlsson is mostly known as the frontman of the Swedish boogie rockers, The Diamond Dogs. But he's also known for being the singer of the UK supergroup, The Crunch, featuring members from The Clash, Sham 69 and Cockney Rejects.  Since the early 1990's, Sulo has been carrying the torch for early 70's soulful rock ‘n roll well rooted in British history.Through his career he's worked with artists such as Ian Hunter, Terry Reid, Robert Wyatt, Max Martin, Crystal Gayle, Paul Young, Maria McKee and more.Besides being one of Sweden's most prolific singer/songwriters, he's also an author of a handful of books, including co-writing the autobiography of the former UEFA President, Lennart Johansson, who was one of the most influential leaders of international football, or soccer, as we call it in America.  Lennart Johansson was the brains behind the Champions League. He was also responsible for bringing England back into the European cups with his famous words, “England needs Europe and Europe needs England.”  I've read Sulo's book, Lennart Johannson: A Mate Among Bigwigs and Trophies, and found it to be a fascinating study of the legendary international soccer leader's life growing up as a poor boy from the outskirts of Stockholm who had the unusual gift to be able to bring people together to work toward fair play in a game that includes everyone. I highly recommend Sulo's terrific book to you.https://wildkingdom.se/artists/sulo/https://www.newhavenpublishingltd.com/soren-sulo-karlsson/

Taylor Swift's much-anticipated 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, dropped on Friday after weeks of hype and speculation. For this album, the 35-year-old artist reunited with Swedish hitmakers Max Martin and Shellback to deliver a more upbeat project with some light introspection. Flicks.co.nz editor Steve Newall says the album's prompted mixed responses - but it's already broken several key records. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Erschienen am 03. Oktober 2025 bei Republic. Unser Review. Taylor Swift präsentiert sich im vertrauten Glitzer-Pop-Gewand - jedoch ohne große Überraschungen. Ihr neues Album überzeugt durch solide produzierte Songs, die in ihrer Gesamtheit ein stimmiges, unterhaltsames Werk ergeben. Der Charme erinnert stellenweise an den Soundtrack eines Teenie-Musicals - leichtfüßig, eingängig und von einer gewissen Unbeschwertheit geprägt. Das mag polarisieren: Während es bei manchen für Begeisterung sorgt, wirkt es auf andere womöglich überzogen. Ein zentraler Kritikpunkt: Das Album wirkt stellenweise etwas aufgesetzt und überladen. Viele Texte kreisen um vermeintlich bedeutende, in Wirklichkeit aber eher triviale Themen - hier hätte man sich mehr Tiefe und Substanz gewünscht. Auch musikalisch fehlen deutliche Höhepunkte: Keine Nummer ragt besonders hervor, kein Track brennt sich nachhaltig ins Gedächtnis. Trotzdem bleibt unterm Strich ein solides Popalbum, das Swift-Fans sicherlich zu schätzen wissen - und das für die eine oder den anderen genau den richtigen Glanz entfalten dürfte. Bewertung: 4 von 5 Platten-Panorama-Punkten. (Martin) Nun also die zwölfte Era. Schillerndes, reichhaltiges Showbiz und zugleich sehr viel Fake, sehr viel Emulation. Eine Taylor-Show, in der Synthies wie Fakten durch die Popgeschichte marschieren. Der Versuch, sich neu zu erfinden, wirkt eher wie ein Zwang - und das ohne klaren Plan. Produziert mit Max Martin und Shellback klingt die Platte wie ein Querschnitt durch die Popgeschichte: Synth-Pop, Soft Rock, Disco, Motown-Anklänge. Nostalgie trifft auf modernen Pop. Der größte Popstar der Welt schreibt hier über sein Fame, Reputation, Erfolg. Nur wirkt Taylor längst nicht mehr relatable - dabei war sie das früher wie kaum jemand sonst. Die junge Taylor aus der Zeit von Fearless, Speak Now und Red hat mit Geschichten und normale Menschen berührt. Gewaltige Popsongs, die sofort ins kollektive Gedächtnis übergingen hat sie schon immer geschrieben. Doch hier fehlt dieser Funke. Nach der kräftezehrenden Tour scheint mehr Energie in die perfekt getaktete Marketingkampagne als ins Songwriting geflossen zu sein. Hits fehlen komplett. Ich hoffe, dass nun endlich eine kollektive Müdigkeit einsetzt - denn mehr Taylor bedeutet nicht automatisch besser. Mein Wunsch: eine lange Pause. Aber keine endlose – sonst steigen die Erwartungen nur ins Unermessliche. In zwei, drei Jahren dann ein Songwriting-Vlog, vielleicht die bewusste Wahl einer neuen Era? Dann könnte Taylor wieder zu jener Künstlerin werden, die wir einst so gern gehört haben - ehrlich, nahbar und mitreißend. Ich kann nur 2,5 Punkte vergeben.

After breaking most music industry records during her "Eras" tour in 2023 and 2024, Taylor Swift is back with the hotly anticipated account of that time in the form of her twelfth studio album. "The Life of a Showgirl" brings in pop princess Sabrina Carpenter and Swedish producers Max Martin and Shellback, who produced Swift's synth pop album "1989" and mega hits "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space". The release coincides with a weekend screening of a behind-the-scenes documentary, where the US star will unveil a new music video from this latest album. FRANCE 24's Olivia Salazar-Winspear tells us more.

How does a country of 10 million people dominate the global pop charts? From ABBA's Eurovision breakthrough to Max Martin's methodical hit-making, Sweden has quietly engineered a kind of musical Stockholm Syndrome: we've all become captives to their sound without realizing it. Listen to the crystalline vocal production and deceptively simple chord progressions in tracks by Lisa, Childish Gambino, and Addison Rae, and you're hearing Sweden's sonic fingerprint so embedded in pop's DNA that it now defines the genre itself. We sit down with pop star Zara Larsson to explore her love letter to home, "Midnight Sun." As she puts it, "I can't really leave Sweden; it's just something that's like a part of who I am," a sentiment that captures how Swedish pop's unique blend of melancholy and euphoria, mirroring the country's extreme seasons, has made us all willing prisoners of Stockholm's musical empire.

Keith Urban & Pink – One Too ManyScore: 3.4It takes a certain kind of courage to title your duet One Too Many when the song itself sounds like it was written after exactly that number of beers. Keith Urban and Pink, two pop-country-adjacent titans, come together here not so much in harmony as in a musical custody battle over who can out-melodramatise the other. Spoiler: nobody wins.On paper, the song is about drinking too much and dialling up an ex—a theme as old as both Nashville and karaoke machines. In practice, it's a chorus so sticky it could double as the lining of a barroom coaster. Urban strums an acoustic that sounds like it was fished out of a Spotify “Acoustic Coffeehouse” playlist, while Pink delivers vocals with the intensity of someone who thought she was cutting a demo for a Now That's What I Call Country 2030 compilation.The production is its own beast: a Frankenstein's monster of Top 40 gloss, faux-folk earnestness, and something that might be steel guitar if you squint hard enough. It's as if Max Martin got locked in a room with a Nashville songwriter and the only way out was to produce something that would make both Walmart shoppers and wine-aunt Facebook groups nod in approval.Lyrically, One Too Many is a Hallmark card taped to a whiskey bottle. “I've had one too many,” they sing, a phrase repeated so often it feels less like confession and more like the Terms & Conditions you're forced to accept before entering Keith Urban's radio rotation. It's supposed to be messy and relatable, but instead it lands with the authenticity of a corporate brand tweeting about “getting lit on Taco Tuesday.”That's not to say it isn't catchy—it is, in the same way a car alarm is catchy when it's been going off for an hour. It will lodge itself in your brain, make you hum it against your will, and then leave you wondering why you suddenly have the urge to buy boxed rosé and an Urban Outfitters cowboy hat.In the end, One Too Many isn't a disaster so much as it is aggressively fine: the sonic equivalent of warm domestic beer. It won't ruin your night, but you'll definitely wish you had something better in your hand.Best moment: When it ends and you realise Spotify auto-play has queued up literally anything else. Worst moment: Realising you'll still be humming it tomorrow.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy! Use the promo code "1001songs" at checkout for 10% off!

Katy Perry delivers a glitter-fuelled ode to bad decisions, late-stage capitalism, and the kind of hangover that makes you question both your life choices and whether you're wearing someone else's pants.The production is a strange hybrid of ‘80s arena rock bombast and Disney Channel pep rally — Max Martin and co. essentially weaponise cymbal crashes and four-on-the-floor drums until you feel like you've just mainlined a slot machine jackpot. Perry's vocals bounce between faux-indignant girlfriend and motivational speaker who's had three vodka Red Bulls for breakfast.Lyrically, it's a manifesto for the YOLO generation before YOLO was a thing. Lines like "Why are these lights so bright?” and "That's what you get for waking up in Vegas" feel less like pop hooks and more like your friend's drunken Instagram captions from 2010. This is not a song about Vegas so much as it's a song about waking up anywhere with glitter in your teeth and an inexplicable hotel charge.When Perry shouts “Shut up and put your money where your mouth is”, it's not just a chorus — it's a philosophy. The song is basically a musical dare, telling you to make the bad choice, own the bad choice, and then write a three-minute pop banger about it.By the end, you're not sure if you've listened to a breakup song, a pro-gambling PSA, or a piece of subtle anti-tourism propaganda from the Nevada Health Department. But like a $4.99 all-you-can-eat shrimp buffet, it's cheap, loud, and will haunt you for days.Verdict: The perfect soundtrack to putting $50 on black at 3am, losing, and telling yourself it was “part of the experience.”DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!
