Today, we revisit the “Fantasy Football” song draft miniseries to take on the most recent installment to the Taylorverse: ‘The Tortured Poets Department’! Dani is a shameful 1-3 in her song draft record, and Olivia is looking to pad her lead. Your hosts go back and forth to draft their strongest teams, but who will actually take the prize? Will Dani begin her redemption arc, or will Olivia skyrocket to 4-1? That, Taylisteners, is entirely up to you. Be sure to vote in the Spotify comments section and/or on our Instagram!

Throughout most of her long career, Taylor Swift was (in)famous for staying quiet politically. Some read this as apathy, some read it as calculating, and some went so far as to accuse her of being a secret alt-right icon. But in 2019, Taylor tore off the muzzle she had on herself and finally told the world her secret: she’s a Democrat. Her political affiliation and progressive ideology became a cornerstone of her ‘Lover’ era, and she has been open about her party alliance and voting habits ever since. However, it was a long time coming for her to emerge as ‘Miss Americana.’ The question much of the world has for Taylor is…why? In this episode, Olivia & Dani talk about the inextricable relationship between American politics and country music, the delicate dance between fame and politics, and how Taylor found her political voice over the span of twenty years.

Stick around until the end to see how you could be entered into a giveaway! But hurry, this one ends SOON!
We will be taking next week off for Election Week in the USA. See you again in two weeks!

We’ll admit it: we were wrong. Well, kinda. In our initial ‘The Muses: Taylor Lautner’ episode from February of 2023, we made an assumption that Taylor Squared had fallen out of touch over the years and were no longer close. To our credit, that was true at the time. However, we couldn’t have predicted that in the following months, they’d reconnect and be closer than ever! In this episode, your hosts talk through everything that has happened between Taylor Swift & Taylor Lautner since we last chatted about them, and it’s more than you may think. Join us for this wholesome, happy episode as we revisit the ‘Muses: From the Vault’ subseries! And be sure to brush up on your homework and listen to the first installation of the Taylor Squared story HERE, because we pick up right where we left off.
