Track 4 on The Life of a Showgirl, "Father Figure," is one of Taylor's strongest songs on the album, and so Exquisite and Hannah take extra time to delve into every single detail on this album. This song is the perfect example of the type of songwriting Taylor said she wanted to create: folklore-type storytelling with an infectious pop melody. Here, we clearly see Taylor fully embodying a character who we find despicable, manipulative, and even violent. They take time to differentiate between the lyrics and the performance of the song and how they can lead to different interpretations—which is what Taylor Swift had in mind. This winding episode leads you to a fuller understanding of the song. And you can tell us—who do you think won? Want to support Exquisite on her journey to becoming aprofessor?

CELÝ DÍL NAJDETE NA HEROHERO.CO/STUDION, PŘIDEJTE SE KE STOVKÁM PODPOROVATELŮ STUDIA N A POSLOUCHEJTE PLNÉ VERZE VŠECH EPIZOD V této epizodě se Vítek Svoboda a Jana Ciglerová vrhají společně s Filipem Titlbachem do rozbouřené debaty o nejnovějším albu Taylor Swift. Zatímco americká zpravodajka Deníku N ho oceňuje jako odvážný hudební posun, kulturní novinář v něm vidí spíš drzé obchodní praktiky. Přepískla to nejúspěšnější zpěvačka planety se ždímáním peněz, nebo vydala své nejotevřenější album? Připojte se s námi k diskuzi, která právě rezonuje hudebním průmyslem i sociálními sítěmi. „Myslím si, že je tematicky vyčerpaná. Není to kvalita, na kterou jsme zvyklí,“ říká Svoboda s tím, že za básnířku by ji po této desce neoznačil. „Ztratil jsem schopnost se u ní uvolnit a říct si, že je to autentické. Má to příliš promyšlené,“ tvrdí ve Studiu N. Ciglerová s ním nesouhlasí: „Je to nejotevřenější, nejupřímnější a nejspokojenější deska, kterou Taylor Swift kdy vydala. Je zároveň nejvíc sexy a mluví k současným problémům dneška,“ oponuje. Taylor Swift je dnes nejúspěšnější hudebnicí na planetě a album The Life of a Showgirl už teď v prodejích překonalo dosavadní rekordy. „Na cokoliv Taylor Swift sáhne, to promění ve zlato,“ říká Jana Ciglerová. „Spíš na co se podívá…“ komentuje ironicky Vítek Svoboda. Prodáváním desítek různých verzí té samé desky a vybíráním vstupného do kina za promítání videoklipu a písní s textem už podle něj překročila únosnou hranici byznysu. „Taylor Swift je hnaná když ne ziskem, tak přinejmenším úspěchem,“ tvrdí. Podle Ciglerové se naopak ukazuje, že po ní svět baží a ona jen nabízí to, po čem je poptávka. Je to pořád hudba, nebo už jen marketing? A co rozjitřená debata kolem ní vlastně říká o naší době?

Inspired by the energy around Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl, this week I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to create, grow, and stay the course not just in business, but in life.In this episode, we're talking about the “side trips” along the way — those unexpected detours that shape who we become — and how to keep showing up even when the path doesn't look perfect. You'll hear reflections from Melody Beattie's timeless wisdom about trusting the journey, learning from others, and allowing space for both doubt and discovery.Because whether you run a business or not, your life is your business. You are the entrepreneur of your own story through building, learning, and glowing brighter one experience at a time.

We are so excited to be joined by our friends (and wonderful couple) Kate Steinberg and Chad Savage! We're talking about them meeting on an under-the-radar reality show years ago, their five-year engagement, and recent second proposal (and why they almost fought when it happened). We're discussing Kate's influencer career and how she conceptualizes and creates her viral millennial content, plus we're popping off about all the millennial hate out there. We also talk about struggling with anxiety (especially surrounding social media), boundaries when you work with your partner, why it's hard to make friends in LA, and more. Before Kate and Chad join us, we're (belated) reviewing The Life of a Showgirl, trading STD scare stories, and Rayna shares a nightmare situation that happened with a houseguest. Enjoy!
