We're finally doing it: ranking Taylor Swift's post–Big Machine albums, from Lover through Showgirl, using a semi-serious “scientific” system we built to avoid pitting Old Taylor against New Taylor. In this episode, we break down cohesion, execution, longevity, and overall Snakeology to figure out which version of independent-era Taylor is truly operating at her peak. The addition of The Life of a Showgirl complicates everything in ways we didn't expect, and the final ranking surprised even us.

In this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we dive deep into one of Taylor's most beloved bonus tracks: “right where you left me” — Track 16 from the Evermore (Deluxe Edition). Swifties have crowned this song a top-tier masterpiece, and today we're breaking down every lyric, every Easter egg, and every emotional gut-punch that makes it unforgettable. We revisit Taylor's iconic Eras Tour performance of the song — including that perfectly relatable moment when even Taylor Swift herself stumbles over the lyrics she admits are “one of the wordiest songs” in her catalog. We fangirl over the brand-new Eras Tour docuseries trailer and what it reveals about Taylor's creative process, color-coded chaos, surprise song strategy, and the behind-the-scenes moments we've been dying to see. From lyric dissection to real-life parallels, we explore: The heartbreaking imagery behind “Help, I'm still at the restaurant” and being emotionally frozen in time Connections between Evermore, The Life of a Showgirl, and Taylor's evolving narrative Taylor's fears, superstitions, and creative reinventions Why this track resonates so deeply with grief, growth, and the fear of being left behind The parallels to “Opalite” — and how Taylor finally leaves the table And then — one of the most unforgettable moments from the 13 Podcast voicemail..We receive a stunning, heartfelt voicemail from Antarctica. Yes, literally the bottom of the world. A Swiftie shares how our episode countdowns, Instagram posts, and podcast have become a lifeline in isolation and inspired “Taylor Tuesdays” at the southernmost edge of the planet. It's goosebumps. It's full-body chills. It's why we do this. Whether you're here for lyric lore, Taylor's universe-level storytelling, emotional wreckage, or just to laugh at our collective inability to spell “restaurant,” this episode has everything Swifties crave.

In this episode inspired by Taylor Swift's new song "Father Figure," Ryan lays out how Neve Campbell became the leader of the SCREAM franchise. Ryan describes Neve's contributions to the series, and step-by-step the recent history of SCREAM: How Wes Craven was the leader of the first 20 years of the series; how only Neve could have filled his shoes; how the Radio Silence era lacked a true leader; how the studio and creatives would not allow Neve to fill this role on Scream (2022); and how Neve inherited this role by taking the risk and standing alone to save the franchise in Scream 7 during a rocky time.

Dita Von Teese has spent her life turning beauty into power. Born Heather Sweet in small-town Michigan, she grew up dreaming of old Hollywood glamour, satin corsets, and the kind of femininity that shimmered on the silver screen. When she opened her first bra as a teenager—a plain white cotton thing inside a plastic egg—she was deeply disappointed. That moment, she says, is where it all began. If the world wouldn’t make things beautiful, she would. In this conversation, Dita opens up about the art and discipline behind the spectacle that made her a global icon. She talks about her early days as a model and Playboy cover star, the power and intention behind creating the Dita Von Teese persona, and how she’s kept mystery alive in a world prone to oversharing. She also shares what it was like collaborating with Taylor Swift on Bejeweled and how rare it is, even now, to be approached by another artist with such genuine respect for her craft. Dita explains that while many have imitated her, Taylor came to her as a true collaborator. Now, as she brings her new show Nocturnelle to Australia in 2026, Dita talks about control, longevity, and the quiet strength behind the glamour. Click here for tour information.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan Rittenhouse and Cameron McAllister tackle the phenomenon of fake outrage in Christian culture—using the reaction to Taylor Swift's Life of a Showgirl as a jumping-off point. With deep theological reflection and cultural insight, Nathan and Cameron explore why outrage has become a form of identity-building within the church and beyond, how scapegoating and virtue signaling distort genuine moral concern, and what it means for Christians to live wisely in a world shaped by Babylon and Vanity Fair. This thoughtful conversation challenges believers to pursue discernment, truth, and humility rather than reactionary culture wars. Perfect for Christians seeking intelligent, biblical discussions on faith, culture, and current events.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

“The Life of a Showgirl” may have given us one of Taylor's most divisive tracks ever…and it's a track 5, to boot. ‘Eldest Daughter' has a lot of things going on, but one thing we can all agree on is that Taylor is attempting to be vulnerable on this song. She spends the track exploring themes of childhood-rooted walls, personal insecurities, and promises for the future. Because your hosts do their best work when there is a mystery to be solved, Olivia & Dani decided to place this song in the ‘Mental Cages' miniseries to analyze it further!

Taylor Swift: Nazi sympathizer, freshly-minted racist, MAGA trad wife. Or so proponents of a recent conspiracy theory would have it. For years, the most successful female recording and performing artist of her generation (and therefore of all time) has used “easter eggs” as part of her marketing. Hidden messages in music videos and lyric sheets, oblique references in social media posts, and puzzles as merchandise marketing gimmicks have all contributed to a parasocial sense of intimacy and insider knowledge for her millions of ardent fans. With the release of The Life of a Showgirl, these treats seem to have backfired on Swift. A deluge of TikToks claim dog whistles and hidden symbols reveal a far-right turn for a progressive artist that previously stood for feminism, reproductive freedom, gay and trans rights, BLM, and gun control. Maybe it's her “cancelled” friends, the influence of Travis Kelce, or traditional, conservative “family values” finally coming home to roost as she celebrates the desire to settle down with her soon-to-be-husband, make a home, and have some kids. Julian peels apart the layers of this highly charged political conspiracy theory and looks at what it may represent. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
We've reached the Track 5 on The Life of a Showgirl, "Eldest Daughter." Track 5s are known as Taylor's most vulnerable album tracks, and so Exquisite and Hannah spend time carefully uncovering the overwriting and cringe allegations.

It's the end of Evermore era (almost!) — and what better way to celebrate it than with the breakdown of closure. In this episode, Nick, Ana, and Amy dive deep into the meaning of "closure" from Evermore, exploring its chaotic intro, sharp lyricism, and what the song reveals about saying goodbye — even when you don't need to. From theories about who the song might be directed toward (Scott Borchetta? Scooter Braun? A former friend?) to how Taylor transforms sarcasm into strength, this breakdown covers it all. Plus, hear theories on why Closure isn't actually the final song on Evermore — and what that says about Taylor's storytelling. Join us next time for the unofficial end to evermore… before we get into the deluxe tracks. And up next… It's time to delve into The Life of a Showgirl!

“Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes.” In this preview of our After School episode, we're reflecting on our first month with Taylor's latest album. We dive into why certain Taylor albums create earworms while others don't, how her genre-hopping creates completely different fan bases, and whether we just accidentally invented a personality test based on your top two Taylor albums (spoiler: it's better than Myers-Briggs). Plus, we debate whether "an album full of bops" can stand the test of time, or if that's exactly what we needed right now.

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?

Stassi's back with Taylor Strecker — in person this time! They're bundled up in Stassi's icebox studio, still recovering from their Unwell in Vegas weekend. Between flying private, performing alongside reality TV icons, and fangirling over the Nader sisters, the girls were treated like absolute queens (thanks, Alex Cooper) — and now they're officially ruined.They laugh about being total narcs, debate which version of “father” fits best, and relive the whirlwind weekend — from pre-show jitters and a weird onstage hug to staying up at Club Stassi until 4:30 a.m. Plus, Stassi's deep in her Life of a Showgirl era, convinced Taylor Swift's “Father Figure” was written about her. The girls may be tired, unwell, and slightly delusional… but in the best way.Thanks for supporting our sponsors:Progressive: Visit Progressive.com to see if you could save on car insurance.PlutoTV: Pluto TV is your portal to watch free movies and TV shows anywhere, on any device.
