What are the most underrated Taylor Swift songs in her entire discography? In this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, Ana and Nick dive album-by-album to pick the most overlooked song from every Taylor Swift era — from debut through The Life of a Showgirl. Using a mix of Spotify streaming data, Swiftie intuition, and personal favorites, they debate which songs deserve way more love from fans and the general public. Along the way, they discuss the beautiful gems like Stay Beautiful, The Best Day, Haunted, Holy Ground, This Love, Dancing With Our Hands Tied, I Think He Knows, Peace, Cowboy Like Me, Question…?, Dear Reader, and more. Some picks come from pure vibes, while others are backed by hard streaming numbers — and a few results are honestly shocking. They also explore: Why some Taylor Swift tracks become fan favorites years later Songs that Swifties love but the casual listener may have missed The storytelling brilliance behind underrated tracks like Peace and Cowboy Like Me Whether streaming numbers actually reflect what fans truly love And why The Tortured Poets Department might have more hidden gems than any album yet Plus: thoughts on potential Debut (Taylor's Version) timing, why reputation ages like fine wine, and the surprisingly stacked lineup of Taylor's track twos. Whether you're a longtime Swiftie or just exploring Taylor Swift's catalog, this episode will definitely send you back to the playlists to rediscover some incredible songs you may have overlooked. So pause the episode, make your own list, and let us know: What's the most underrated Taylor Swift song on each album?  Stay Connected with 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast Join the conversation in our exclusive Lobster Lounge: station.page/13  Contact the Podcast  Voicemail: (689) 214-1313  Email: the13podcast@gmail.com  Instagram: @the13podcast  TikTok: @the13podcast  Twitter/X: @the13TSpodcast  YouTube: 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast  Follow the Hosts  Ana – @anaszabo13  Lacey – @laceygee13  Amy – @amysnichols  Nick – @heynickadams Learn more about your ad choices.

Age of Attraction Premiere Recap Age of Attraction is here! This new Netflix series tests singles to build connections based on chemistry and compatibility, not age. Couples are not allowed to ask the question “How old are you?” Today, Aysha and Jason discuss the premiere of Age of Attraction. Age of Attraction makes its Netflix debut, and hosts Jason Reed and Aysha Welch dive right into episode 1, unpacking the premise and player dynamics. The show asks: Does age matter when it comes to finding love, or can connections cross decades? With contestants keeping their ages secret as they search for romance during a Canadian retreat, the hosts have plenty to analyze, from first impressions to the twisty promise room reveal. Jason and Aysha break down what separates Age of Attraction from shows like Love Is Blind and Married at First Sight, highlighting its focus on age gaps and the decision-making process before any long-term commitment. They analyze the casting, noting the show’s clear trend toward pairing people willing to date outside their typical age range, and ponder what makes the promise room an intriguing pivot point in the format. Early episodes spotlight several budding couples, each facing their own challenges as they consider age, life stage, and personal goals, some with kids, others just starting in their careers. They dig deep into: – First impressions of key pairs, including Libby and Andrew's youthful energy clash and John and Theresa's surprising age reveal – The show’s casting strategy and how it shapes contestant connections, especially around age range preferences – The promise room mechanic and its role in uncovering real ages, shifting romantic decisions on the spot – Contestants' candid conversations about kids, careers, and non-negotiables, adding layers to the show’s take on attraction and compatibility – Memorable moments like awkward age guessing games, Swiftie debates, and standout confessional commentary As Age of Attraction kicks off, will the pairs focus on chemistry, or will age become an insurmountable obstacle? How much does life stage matter in pursuing lasting connections? Dive in with Jason and Aysha for sharp analysis and reality TV insight.

Sara and Laura are obsessed with today's sweetie pie song, “Honey,” from The Life Of A Showgirl. After sharing some maternity leave updates for the podcast (and Sara's new obsession with Wuthering Heights!), the gals get into a short, sweet, and straightforward analysis of the song.

Swifties know that track 2 on a Taylor Swift album is never random. In this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, Lacey, Ana, and Amy take on the impossible challenge of ranking every Track 2 from Taylor Swift's discography. From early fan-favorite “Picture to Burn” to iconic bopz like “Blank Space,” “Cruel Summer,” and “Cardigan,” the lineup is stacked with some of Taylor's most unforgettable songs. The conversation quickly turns a little judgemental as the hosts debate lyricism, nostalgia, Eras Tour moments, storytelling, and production while trying to decide which track deserves the top spot. Along the way, the 13 Podcast dives into: • Why Track 2 placements are intentional in Taylor's albums• The surprising connections between songs like “Red” and “Maroon”• How The Eras Tour changed the way fans experience songs like Cruel Summer and champagne problems• Which songs spark the most Swiftie nostalgia from Taylor's early eras  With songs from every era — Debut, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, Reputation, Lover, folklore, evermore, Midnights, The Tortured Poets Department, and The Life of a Showgirl — the hosts attempt to settle one of the biggest Swiftie debates.

Tonight's It's News to Us episode is basically the geopolitical equivalent of watching several car crashes happen at the same intersection while someone in the control tower yells, “We'll figure it out later.” The show opens with the Middle East crisis escalating, as U.S. military leaders reportedly grow uneasy about political allies framing a potential conflict with Iran as biblical “Armageddon.” Meanwhile, Trump tells Americans they might want to “worry” about possible Iranian retaliation, and in a required letter to Congress admits the administration doesn't know how long a war with Iran could last — which is not usually the confidence-inspiring messaging strategy during international conflict. Back home, the chaos continues: A Republican senator is accused of breaking a Marine's hand during a protest over LGBTQ military policy, creating a surreal moment where the “support the troops” crowd may have literally injured one. Then in Washington's ongoing reality-show cabinet shuffle, Kristi Noem is fired as Homeland Security Secretary, continuing the administration's tradition of treating cabinet positions like contestants on The Apprentice: Federal Government Edition. The economic debate heats up as Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna propose a billionaire tax that would send $3,000 checks to Americans, reviving the national pastime of arguing over whether mailing money to everyone is brilliant policy or just economic DoorDash. Meanwhile in politics, Texas Democrat James Talarico wins his party's Senate nomination, setting up a long-shot but high-energy challenge in a state that hasn't elected a Democratic senator in over 30 years. The episode also dives into rising political violence, after an explosive device was found outside the home of a New York lawmaker — a chilling reminder that American politics is increasingly drifting from heated debates into actual security threats. And in the lighter chaos portion of the show: • Shots fired at Rihanna's Beverly Hills home while she was inside with her kids. • Jack White pokes the Swiftie hornet's nest by criticizing breakup-song pop culture. • Jamie Lee Curtis blasts Hollywood's ageism problem. • CBS launches a nationwide Survivor scavenger hunt. • And Conan O'Brien returns to host the Oscars, because apparently the Academy finally discovered audiences enjoy hosts who are actually funny. In other words: geopolitical brinkmanship, cabinet firings, billionaires, bomb squads, pop-culture feuds, and immunity idols hidden across America.

This week, Andy, Stu, and Ed dive head‑first into the chaos of Netflix's ever‑growing cancellation problem - what is driving it, who it hurts, and why it keeps happening. Then, in the Short Short Film Film Review, the trio takes a surprising detour into the world of Swifties as they break down I Talked to 50 Dads at the Eras Tour (2024), a bite‑sized documentary with big dad‑energy and a little bit of Taylor Swifft. And finally, the Cruise cruise rolls on with a look at 1983's All the Right Moves, where a young Tom Cruise tries to escape small‑town gravity with football, ambition, and a whole lot of intensity.Another packed episode full of deep dives, questionable opinions, and the usual nonsense.

ITL wraps the show with a quarterback debate: if you had to choose, would you rather C.J. Stroud have a career like Matt Ryan, Dak Prescott, or Cam Newton? The crew breaks down the different paths — MVP seasons, playoff success, longevity, and legacy — and what each would realistically mean for the Texans' future. The show closes with Figgy's Mixtape featuring the word “Swiftie” officially being added to the dictionary, the ongoing back-and-forth between Zion Williamson and the Pelicans with Stephen A. Smith weighing in, and more wild stories making the rounds.

ITL opens the show with a Texans roster-building debate, asking whether fans would rather see the team draft three offensive linemen or sign two proven veterans in free agency as Houston continues looking for ways to stabilize the protection around C.J. Stroud. The crew also discusses whether Ed Ingram should be re-signed and what that decision could mean for the depth and direction of the offensive line. Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 joins the show to provide insight into potential Texans free agency targets and how the team could approach the market this offseason. The hour wraps with the QOTD: What's something TV-related you wish could make a comeback? ITL then goes Around The NFL to debate whether Kyler Murray still has true franchise quarterback potential and reacts to the Chiefs trading away their All-Pro corner, discussing what that means for the AFC landscape. Closer to home, the crew dives into the debate around Reed Sheppard's defense and whether the criticism of his defensive ability is overblown or a legitimate concern before wrapping with What's Popping in sports and entertainment. Later in the show, ITL explores the comparison between the Texans acquiring David Montgomery and the Patriots bringing in Corey Dillon in 2004, breaking down how adding a physical, proven running back could help stabilize the offense and take pressure off the quarterback. Lunch-Time Confessions turns into a marketing discussion as the crew shares examples of what not to do when promoting something, and Judge John Lopez takes the bench to rule on a hot take: is Travis Hunter trending toward bust territory or is that talk premature? The show closes with a quarterback debate about what career path Texans fans would prefer for C.J. Stroud — Matt Ryan, Dak Prescott, or Cam Newton — before Figgy's Mixtape wraps things up with the word “Swiftie” officially being added to the dictionary, the Zion Williamson and Pelicans situation with Stephen A. Smith weighing in, and more wild stories.

Nach ihrem spektakulären Auftakt in Teil 1 schließen die Martin Pieler, Alex Batzke, Marc Hofmann und der per Bluetooth-Box zugeschaltete Klaus Biehler ihre Reise durchs Jahr 2008 ab. Die zuvor vergessenen Weltereignisse werden hervorgekramt und oszillieren zwischen Hoffnung und Katastrophe. Dann klappen sie noch einmal die Filmdose auf und zerren etliche Streifen hervor, die 2008 die Leinwände beleuchtet haben. Es stellt sich heraus, dass dieses Jahr ein außerordentlich gutes Filmjahr gewesen ist, was nicht nur, aber vor allem auch an Christopher Nolans "The Dark Knight" liegt. Schließlich kommen sie bei der Musik an und müssen erst noch ein paar Alben wegarbeiten, die zwar irgendwie musikhistorisch relevant, aber nicht unbedingt gut sind. Anschließend bringt jeder noch drei Alben mit, die nacheinander vorgestellt und diskutiert werden. Hat Alex aus Martin einen Swiftie gemacht? Stößt Marcs Einschätzung der Killers auf Zustimmung? Warum weint Klaus plötzlich bei Grey's Anatomy? Geht Schwarz zu Blau von Peter Fox immer noch als adäquates Stadtgedicht im Deutschunterricht durch? Diese und viele weitere Fragen werden zu besprechen sein. Es war wie immer ein herrliches Treffen bei "Pop und Pubertät". Wenn ihr auch in die Musik reinhören wollt, dann sei euch die sorgsam kuratierte Spotify-Playlist wie eine warme Decke ans nostalgische Herz gelegt.

We also discuss other Taylor Swift news, including Grammy after-party sightings, Jack Antonoff rumors, the Travis Kelce confession, the celebrity beef no one saw coming, and why fans are once again spiraling over what Taylor might be teasing next. It's a classic SwifTEA episode—part deep dive, part Swiftie group chat—as we catch up, connect the dots, and spiral just enough. With even more Opalite theories already forming and bigger conversations ahead, consider this the warm-up before the real breakdowns begin. Grab your tea, keep the volume up, and we'll see you in the next episode.  Stay Connected with 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast Join the conversation in our exclusive  Lobster Lounge: station.page/13  Contact the Podcast  Voicemail: (689) 214-1313  Email:  the13podcast@gmail.com  Instagram: @the13podcast  TikTok: @the13podcast  Twitter/X: @the13TSpodcast  YouTube: 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast  Follow the Hosts  Ana – @anaszabo13  Lacey – @laceygee13  Amy – @amysnichols  Nick – @heynickadams Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to our three year podcast anniversary and Valentine's Day special!Can you believe it?! No? Yeah, we can't either. We start with a Grammys recap before diving into a song draft, a blind ranking, and a conversation about Taylor Swift's iconic cameo in a Saturday Night Live digital short from Please Don't Destroy.Thank YOU for THREE WHOLE YEARS of Diary of a Swiftie. You have made these last few years very special for us and we are so excited for many more years with this fun community of pop culture fanatics. Check out our Instagram @diaryofaswiftiepodcast so you keep up to date on all things Taylor Swift (and more).Three years! WOW! :)

We were joined this week by a loyal listener and a true Swiftie from day one: Chelsea Dexter! Chelsea shares with us her Swiftie back story and all the Taylor Swift concerts she's attended (Fearless AND Reputation AND Eras Tour? JEALOUS!!). She even gets to boast that she won Taylor Swift Trivia at her local pub! Needelss to say, Chelsea brings so much to our conversation this week about a song that she absolutely loves. The Lake District and the poets it inspired is the perfect setting for the closing track off the folklore album. Oh but wait, it's not technically the closing track, is it? We certainly have some thoughts about that. One thing that really got us about this song was whether or not Taylor is feeling sad and melancholic, or if she was actually extending a romantic gesture towards one London Boy. Chelsea's takes on the "name dropping sleaze" Taylor sings about is particularly curious, especially when taking in consideration Taylor's performance of this song during the Long Pond Studio Sessions. There's just so much to unpack with this song and we had such a great time tackling it with Chelsea!​Share with us your thoughts on today's episode by sending an email to swiftandswigspodcast@gmail.com.​Leave us a written review on the Apple Podcasts app!​Follow and rate our podcast on Spotify! ​Check out our "new shit" playlist on Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5LOn9LRJ8lnvnCbpl6fKVG?si=68ca3032d3aa470b⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

(airdate: 2.4.26) Travis Kelce jokes he's in trouble again — this time over a broken chair and Swiftie-level embarrassment. The Devil Wears Prada sequel turns movie night into a full fashion event, with fans encouraged to dress like Miranda Priestly herself. And Sabrina Carpenter finds herself "intimidated" by Miss Piggy, which somehow makes perfect sense. Celebrities behaving dramatically so you don't have to. Voted 6th Best Entertainment News Podcast!

This week on 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we're doing something a little different. Due to a winter storm hitting Texas and throwing off recording schedules, Ana hops on the mic for a special solo Swiftie Q&A episode—and it ended up feeling like a warm, one-on-one check-in with the community. After opening up questions on Instagram, Ana answers everything from which Taylor Swift album she'd relive for the first time, to top five albums right now, to which songs she skips (yes, it depends on the mood). She reflects on the magic of hearing Midnights for the first time, revisits beloved eras like Red, Speak Now, and 1989, and shares why The Tortured Poets Department continues to hit differently now that we're stepping into the Showgirl era. Ana also dives into: What newer Swifties may have missed pre-folklore Dream Taylor Swift music videos that never happened Songs she'd love to break down again Favorite non-Taylor artists she's listening to right now Whether live events are coming back (Swifties in the City fans, take note!) This solo bonus is equal parts Swiftie nostalgia, thoughtful reflection, and emotional connection, and it sets the stage perfectly for what's coming next as 13 begins its deep dive into The Life of a Showgirl, starting with Fate of Ophelia. Grab your cardigans, get cozy, and hang out with us—because even when plans change, the Swiftie community always shows up.  Stay warm, take care of yourselves, and we'll see you next week.

It's time to analyze one of Taylor's sweetest and most direct songs from The Life Of A Showgirl… “Wi$h Li$t!” Before getting into the song's folklore, Sara and Laura share personal updates, as well as some Taylor news (note: this episode was recorded before texts between Blake Lively & Taylor were unsealed), plus the gals unpack the vile and coordinated “trad wife allegations” that stem from this song. Taylor's lyrics about desire for love, normalcy, and motherhood have the ladies kicking their feet! Never has Taylor been so upfront about how she feels, what she desires, where she sees her life going next… and that refreshing stance is what makes Sara and Laura really love this song.

Melissa Rivers is back to help us make sense of all the backstabbing, treachery and murder happening on this brilliant season 4 of The Traitors. Melissa helps us break down the brilliant decision to make Lisa Rinna, Candiace Dillard and Rob Rausch traitors. We talk the epic showdown between Colton and Rapaport, how many people have forgotten about Colton's shady past in Bachelor Nation, Rinna banishing Stanbuy and letting us know that no, she wont be attending BravoCon anytime soon. Of course, we also talk the secret traitor, Donna Kelce's unfortunate early exit and the Swiftie factor of it all. Finally, we talk Rob's overalls, Alan's costumes, the fact that Dorinda is on to Rinna, who we think is next to go, who will go far, our well thought out suggestions for next season's casting, our own intentions and desires to play the game and last, but not least, the upcoming epic Housewife on Housewife bloodbath that Alan says is utter carnage. Rinna, Dorinda and Candiace, we are talking to you! @melissariversofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CASH APP - Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/90aiowep #CashAppPod.

(airdate: 1.23.26) In Who Cares News today, Hollywood did what it does best: hand out Oscar nominations, break records, and somehow still make everyone mad. We'll hit the highs, the very loud snubs, and the movies people are already pretending they've seen. Also, Carrie Underwood reveals she almost passed on one of her biggest hits because it didn't fit her image — which would've been a crime against car-singalong history. And Taylor Swift makes an appearance after her boyfriend misses a very obvious Easter egg, proving love is real but pop culture literacy is optional. It's awards season chaos, country music what-ifs, and Swiftie-level overanalysis — in other words… Who Cares. Voted 6th Best Entertainment News Podcast! Because being #1 is soooo overrated.

We’re right back into the Beckham family drama today, because after eldest son Brooklyn Beckham posted a series of scathing statements about his family, a number of sources have come forward. Mostly to explain what really happened during the ‘inappropriate’ mother and son dance (and we have a wild theory about this to share with you). Plus, the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal drama has ramped up with a number of legal documents containing scandalous emails and text messages between Hollywood A-listers (including Matt Damon and Ben Affleck) being leaked, and now we need to dissect their contents.Among the documents are also text messages between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, including one heartbreaking text message exchange that signals the end of their friendship.

We're back with season 4!!! And the episode starts with probably the longest chitty chat ever. There was loads to talk about with our obsession over the Stranger Things finale and all our “predicky-dicks” for Taylor Swift's 2026. Maybe she'll release a single? Perhaps be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame? Is the wedding imminent?! Reputation Vault Tracks? Our eyes and ears are always tuned in but we can't help but feel at ease during a quiet time in the Swiftie world such as this. The song this week showcases the most baby Taylor and the innocence she felt at the young age of 13 when she wrote this song. Rachel is partaking in Dry January, and Sam didn't feel comfortable making an alcoholic drink for this adolescent song. So mocktails it is! But why did Taylor choose this song to perform on her very last night of the Eras Tour? Tune in to find out!

It's honestly lovelyyyy… that you're tuning in for another episode of Blank Plate! In today's episode, Laura and Sara kick off the new year with life updates, holiday chaos and a truly iconic New Year's Eve wedding story before diving deep into one of Taylor Swift's messiest and most fascinating tracks, “Actually Romantic” from Life of a Showgirl. The ladies unpack the song's fountain-pen pettiness, rumored muse lore (yes, we're talking about Charli XCX), and how admiration, insecurity, and obsession blur into something unexpectedly romantic.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a title from our former podcast pal from the About.com years, Kathy Ceceri.

Catherine's also encountered other books from authors she knows at the library: My Basmati Bat Mitzvah by Paula Freedman and My Neighbor Saw Me Naked: And Other Reasons You Need Drapes by Annie Elliott.​Terri's random recommendation is Taylor Swift: The End of an Era, the docuseries on Disney+. Watch if you're a Swiftie, or if you're curious about what happens behind the scenes of a production like the Eras tour.

Sounds Like A Cult is still taking a wee break, but we're leaving you with a little Easter egg 

Southwestern Oregon just made HISTORY — winning the first NWAC Women's Cross Country Championship in school history… and they did it with five freshmen scorers. In Airey Bros Radio Ep. 426, we go live with the architect behind the Lakers' rise: Coach Steve Delgado (SWOCC). We talk NWAC vs NJCAA, why JUCO is one of the best pathways in college running right now, and how a program goes from non-scoring to championship culture in a hurry. We also dive into the legend and lore of Coos Bay, Oregon — home of Steve Prefontaine — plus the behind-the-scenes coaching habits that actually build alignment: recruiting truth, standards, team connection, and Coach Delgado's best advice of the night: “Lean into conflict.” (Culture doesn't happen by accident.) ✅ Topics Covered:SWOCC's jump from last place energy to NWAC ChampionsWhat a true “champion experience” means at the JUCO levelTaylor Dickey & Lydia Montes De Oca going 1–2 and gapping the fieldMen's program podium finish — best since 1970Recruiting, affordability, housing, and why the JUCO path is boomingTraining philosophy, thresholds, and building the “better humans” mentality☕ Fueled by Black Sheep Endurance Coaching blacksheependurance.com/

"I think there are a lot of athletes out there that are just so scared to show who they truly are and what they like because of their teammates and their coaches. And they're trying to get to the next level, and they're like, 'Oh well, if I like this then I'm not gonna get to the next level.' It's actually the opposite. You're probably gonna play better if you show who you truly are, because you're more free." Everyone loves Jackson Olson. The Savannah Bananas infielder is on a mission to make baseball more fun — and he's doing just that. Jackson has made a name for himself playing Banana Ball, which is like the baseball version of the Harlem Globetrotters. The exhibition-style games include full-on performances with choreography, lip syncing, and walk-ups designed to delight the sold-out stadium crowds. In this conversation, Jackson talks about his road to the Bananas, and his road to becoming a runner. This fall, Jackson ran his first race — the Disney Wine & Dine 5K — and now he's training for a 10K in January while figuring out how running fits into his busy baseball season. Plus, talking Taylor Swift, Disney World, and how Jackson found his voice and his confidence.  FOLLOW JACKSON @jacksonolson_ SPONSOR:  New Balance: Click here to get your hands on the fan favorite Rebel v5!

It's Taylor Swift's birthday, and somehow she's the one giving us gifts. In this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we dive headfirst into the first two episodes of Taylor's Eras Tour documentary and her revealing, hilarious, and emotionally loaded appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. We unpack everything: the overwhelming emotion behind the Eras Tour, the responsibility Taylor carries as a global icon, the heartbreak and resilience surrounding Vienna, and the quiet moments that show who she really is when the spotlight dims. From backstage tears to bonus-day generosity, from Mirrorball validation to the power of audiobooks as emotional armor — nothing is off limits. Plus, we talk reputation rumors, surprise lyric changes, Swiftie clownery, Travis Kelce crumbs, dancer spotlights, and why Taylor's confidence still makes people uncomfortable (and why it absolutely shouldn't). This episode is joyful, heavy, validating, chaotic, and deeply human — just like Taylor herself.Happy birthday, Taylor.
