Watch the Things Have Changed VideoFollow along with the lyrics here:Things Have ChangedWritten by: Bob DylanA worried man with a worried mindNo one in front of me and nothing behindThere's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagneGot white skin, blood in my eyesI'm looking up into the sapphire-tinted skiesI'm well dressed, waiting on the last trainStanding on the gallows with my head in a nooseAny minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loosePeople are crazy and times are strangeI'm locked in tight, I'm out of rangeI used to care, but things have changedThis place ain't doing me any goodI'm in the wrong town, I should be in HollywoodJust for a second there I thought I saw something moveGonna take dancing lessons, do the jitterbug ragAin't no shortcuts, gonna dress in dragOnly a fool in here would think he's got anything to proveLot of water under the bridge, lot of other stuff tooDon't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing throughPeople are crazy and times are strangeI'm locked in tight, I'm out of rangeI used to care, but things have changedI've been walking forty miles of bad roadIf the Bible is right, the world will explodeI've been trying to get as far away from myself as I canSome things are too hot to touchThe human mind can only stand so muchYou can't win with a losing handFeel like falling in love with the first woman I meetPutting her in a wheelbarrow and wheeling her down the streetPeople are crazy and times are strangeI'm locked in tight, I'm out of rangeI used to care, but things have changedI hurt easy, I just don't show itYou can hurt someone and not even know itThe next sixty seconds could be like an eternityGonna get low down, gonna fly highAll the truth in the world adds up to one big lieI'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to meMr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lakeI'm not that eager to make a mistakePeople are crazy and times are strangeI'm locked in tight, I'm out of rangeI used to care, but things have changed Follow @songsofbob, @henrybernstein.bsky.socialIf you would like to support hosting my podcasts, please check out my Patreon where for $5 I will give you a shout out on the podcast of your choice.

JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/swiftologist Taylor Swift once invited fans into her actual homes to hear her albums before release — cookies baked by Taylor, Polaroids with her cats, holding her GRAMMYs. Secret Sessions were peak Swiftie lore. But after the chaos of Lover — leaks, drama, clogged toilets, and unhinged fan behavior — the sessions disappeared for good. In this episode, we revisit the rise and fall of Secret Sessions, from Tumblr-era stalking to the insanity of the Lover house party, and explain why The Life of a Showgirl will never get them. Taylor's fame, paranoia, and the scale of her stardom in 2025 make Secret Sessions literally impossible. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Taylor Swift's engagement isn't just celebrity gossip, it's the biggest podcast marketing lesson of the year.Swifties aren't only streaming her music, they're buying the exact Ralph Lauren dress she wore in her engagement photos and crashing ticket servers because they feel like they know her (even though in reality, they don't).. That's not hype, it's human psychology. And nowhere do you have a bigger opportunity to tap into that exact same psychology than as a podcast host.It doesn't matter if you're a Swiftie or not: if you want to learn how to apply listener psychology to turn casual listeners into raving fans who binge your show and buy from you, hit play and let's dive in.1:23 – Why Loyalty, Not Reach, Is the Real Driver of Podcast Growth4:36 – What Swifties Teach Us About Building Fierce Podcast Fans8:44 – The Line Between Manipulation and Genuine Connection10:49 – How Parasocial Relationships Make Your Podcast Binge-Worthy13:42 – Why 1,000 True Fans Will Grow Your Show Faster Than 1M Casual Listeners Other Episodes You'll Love:5 Ways to Create Swiftie-Level Loyalty That Drives Podcast Growth → This episode was recorded on the Deity VO-7USupport the showLiked this episode?

1213. Taylor Swift ha vuelto a reventar las métricas… y lo ha hecho desde un podcast. No en un escenario, no en una entrevista televisiva, no en una publicación de Instagram. Desde un episodio grabado en New Heights, el programa que su actual pareja —y futuro marido— Travis Kelce conduce junto a su hermano Jason. Un podcast sobre fútbol americano que se ha convertido, por méritos propios (y por cuñadas ilustres), en un auténtico escaparate mediático a nivel global. En el episodio de hoy te cuento cómo esta aparición sorpresa de Taylor, en un programa que normalmente gira en torno a la NFL, ha desatado una ola de reacciones que va mucho más allá de los touchdowns o las yardas. Porque este no ha sido un cameo cualquiera: ha sido el espacio elegido por la artista para desvelar tanto la portada como la fecha de lanzamiento de su próximo disco. Y claro, el bombazo ha sido de proporciones épicas. Me he pasado por el canal de YouTube del podcast —uno de los pocos sitios donde podemos ver cifras públicas— y el vídeo acumula más de 22 millones de visualizaciones. A eso habría que sumarle los shorts, los reels, los TikToks y los miles de fragmentos que han compartido medios, cuentas de fans y hasta perfiles institucionales. El impacto ha sido tan bestia que, según Merca2.0, el podcast ha batido el récord Guinness al episodio más visto en directo en YouTube. Nada más y nada menos. Que tiemble Ibai, aunque bueno… Ibai no es podcast, ya me entendéis.Taylor Swift establece récord histórico en podcast y entra al Guinness con ‘New Heights'https://www.merca20.com/taylor-swift-establece-record-historico-en-podcast-y-entra-al-guinness-con-new-heights/ Y lo mejor de todo esto es que el anuncio se hizo en un entorno completamente familiar. Dos hermanos, uno de ellos pareja de Taylor, charlando en su programa semanal. La típica conversación de cuñados, pero con un alcance global. Porque lo que han conseguido Jason y Travis con New Heights es abrir un espacio que, sin perder el foco deportivo, se permite hablar de cultura pop, de vivencias personales y ahora, también, de lanzamientos discográficos y bodas de alto voltaje._________________Este capítulo llega a tus oídos gracias a ‘Efemerides Podcast', el programa que repasa los hechos históricos acontecidos de cada día del año en formato semanal. Presentado por David Tella y distribuido en todas las plataformas. Suscríbete a través de tu favorita entrando en el siguiente enlace https://pod.link/1078972069_________________ Y sí, porque además del disco, pocos días después se anunció el compromiso oficial entre Travis y Taylor. Ese anuncio no se hizo en el podcast, pero como era de esperar, sí fue uno de los temas estrella del siguiente episodio. El efecto dominó está servido: fans de la NFL enganchados al fenómeno Swiftie y seguidores de Taylor curioseando sobre la vida deportiva de su pareja. Todo eso, gracias a un podcast. A mí personalmente, ni Taylor Swift ni la NFL me quitan el sueño, pero reconozco que este episodio me ha servido para volver a confirmar que el podcasting no es solo un canal más: es un escaparate estratégico, directo, emocional y con capacidad de generar impacto mundial. Que una artista como Taylor Swift elija este formato para anunciar su próximo trabajo no es casualidad. Es un síntoma de madurez del medio. Y un toque de atención para quienes siguen creyendo que esto va de frikis con micros en un sótano.

We break down the history (and madness) of pumpkin spice, debate when fall really starts, and reveal if we ever order pumpkin spice anything. Then it's on to pop culture as we talk Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding rumors, the cocktails we'd serve at their reception, and the future gender reveal Eddie is hoping for. Plus, Halloween Horror Nights is officially here, which means overpriced cocktails, haunted houses, and pet costume chaos—because Indie as a vampire pug is a thing.Support the showTheme music by " The Zetas" produced by Ethan Carlson and Omar Tavarez
The Lumber Slingers crew is back, kicking off with back-to-school chaos, kids' activities, and the rise of full-blown “football mom” energy (cheetah print bleacher chairs included). From there, the conversation shifts to big industry moves, including Home Depot's acquisition and Whitecap's latest buys. The team dives into market shifts as Interfor announces a curtailment that rattled futures, and they explore why two customers in the same city can have completely opposite outlooks on the market. They also spotlight Hood Industries' investment, a Brightwood leadership transition, and the ripple effects of mortgage rates “tumbling” (or just tripping). With plenty of laughs, Katy Perry wisdom, Swiftie references, and even a playful debate over who the “Scooter Braun of lumber” might be. Questions? email us at lumberslingers@gmail.com

Is Taylor Swift's “Life of a Showgirl” era pure strategy—or pure vulnerability? In this episode, I sit down with my ride-or-die Sebastian to break down Taylor's latest album rollout, the infamous leaks, and what it all reveals about fame, marketing, and the human side of celebrity. From the genius behind her storytelling to the intimacy of her relationship with Travis Kelce, we explore how Taylor keeps reinventing the game while staying deeply connected to her audience. We dive into: The chaos vs. career wins paradox in creative life Whether Taylor's album leak was an accident—or part of her master plan The psychology of being witnessed and why receiving praise is a fame skill How Taylor engages directly with fans while sidestepping Hollywood pandering Fame as modern mythology—and why we need celebrity stories to believe in ourselves ✨ Whether you're a Swiftie, a creator, or just obsessed with the mechanics of fame, this convo will shift how you see the art and business of being visible.
GUYS. I rode solo this week and clearly had a lot to say. We're diving into Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce's alleged engagement (I'm literally proud of them??), internet hate, my Swiftie husband, and a full chaotic recap of the Love Island Season 7 reunion – from PR-trained drama to ball-licking controversies (you heard me right). Nothing was off limits, including questionable TikToks, fake couples, and why everyone needs to chill out over 23-year-olds.Also, PSA: If your butthole is bleeding or your friend's being toxic, call me.

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.

Melissa is a queer femme, politicized relationship coach and Swiftie! She talks about the Gaylor theory and reflects on the engagement news, how Taylor presents her public image and emotionally based art. How, perhaps, the way Travis speaks of Taylor and supports her could help end the male loneliness epidemic. Melissa also reflects on turning 40, navigating a life crisis by asking for help and allowing her internet fans and friends to support her to get to a place where she can heal.Episode 147 about Taylor Swift's astrological chart: https://youtu.be/3Y8uU9xFk3wEpisode 186 my previous episode with Melissa on de-centering men: https://youtu.be/KB8Ja-ZNBIkMelissa's website: https://www.melissafabello.com/Melissa's IG: fyeahmfabelloHer fundraising consultant/architect Veronica: https://www.saltbreadroses.com/Veronica's IG: salt.bread.rosesSupport the Podcast!

In this episode, I share more about Relationship OCD (ROCD) and how social media can fuel the cycle of comparison, doubt, and intrusive thoughts. From seeing engagement posts to scrolling through "perfect" couple photos, social media can create pressure that can send many into ROCD spirals, leading to rumination and reassurance-seeking.As a Swiftie since her debut album, I share my excitement about the news of Taylor and Travis getting engaged, while also unpacking how public figures and certain images of love can intensify ROCD themes. I hold space for acknowledging how difficult it can be to live with ROCD, while providing hope for those who feel alone and isolated in the cycle...adding in the importance of self-compassion when we are caught up in the cycle.Feature on the Unbothered Podcast: Living with Relationship OCDSTAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com
“In the time it took to write this note… couldn't you have just done the thing?”That's the question JB scribbled on a sticky note in response to his wife's morning reminder—and it kicks off a hilarious, chaotic, and surprisingly heartfelt episode of The JB and Sandy Show.

The team dove headfirst into the news of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement, dissecting everything from her sold-out Ralph Lauren dress to that monster $1.5 million ring. Tim reckons the “three months’ salary” rule doesn’t quite apply when you’re a millionaire NFL star. Ricky shared what it was like breaking the news to the biggest Swiftie she knows — and how it nearly caused a domestic crisis. Even Donald Trump weighed in with his two cents, despite recently calling Taylor a loser. It’s safe to say this engagement has everyone, from Swifties to presidents, losing their minds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.
