Swifties have been celebrating since last week when Taylor surprised us by making her ENTIRE catalogue of music available on all streaming services! We discuss this in depth on this week's episode, along with an update on which songs are the most streamed so far and our thoughts on how this might effect album 6.
Have you ever wondered exactly what it is that makes Taylor's songs so catchy (besides the brilliant lyrics of course)? Switched on Pop is a podcast that breaks down popular songs by going WAY beyond the surface and uncovering exactly how they are constructed. We're very excited to be joined by their hosts Charlie and Nate on this week's episode, for a deep dive into one of Taylor's biggest smash hits, I Knew You Were Trouble. Trust us, you need to hear their thoughts on this.

As we anxiously await album 6, we decided it would be fun to get back to Taylor's roots and revisit just how Taylor got to where she is today. From the sundress wearing cowgirl to the worldwide popstar she is today, Taylor has definitely experienced a lot over the past 11 years!
To help us illustrate this, Billboard recently published a timeline highlighting all of the major chart milestones of Taylor's career, from 2006 until now! On this week's episode, we take a look back through the years at many of these major moments that helped define the singer songwriter we all know and love.

Taylor recently released New Romantics, one of the 1989 bonus tracks, to iTunes. On the surface, it's all about her carefree attitude and having fun with her friends. But does it have a deeper meaning? We discuss how this song might be one of the most accurate portrayals of what it was like to be young in the 80s, and how the "new romantics" is actually an attitude that can still describe our generation today. We hope you enjoy our discussion! Make sure to buy New Romantics on iTunes.

The 57th annual Grammy awards are officially behind us. Though Taylor did not win any of her three nominations, she looked gorgeous and had a blast dancing in her seat and presenting the award for Best New Artist to Sam Smith.
Have you ever wondered what it's like to actually attend the Grammys? Our host Ashley was there as seat filler and gives us the inside scoop on what exactly that means, and everything that you don't get to see on tv. We also discuss our favorite (and least favorite) performances of the night. And we're all in agreement that 1989 will slay next year!
1989 was #1 for the 10th week, and it’s expected to be #1 AGAIN for an 11th week!!! Taylor is now the 2nd woman EVER to have an album be #1 for more than 10 weeks! Whitney Houston was the first woman to accomplish this! 1989 has now sold over SIX MILLION copies worldwide!!

This episode is a mini episode that does not include a main discussion because we just released a special bonus episode featuring our friends from the I Heard That Was Good Podcast. Be sure to listen to the bonus episode because we discuss Grammy predictions!
Sadly, Taylor announced that she will not be performing at the Grammys because she is incredibly busy getting ready for the 1989 World Tour.
Swift History: This week in 2009, Taylor was watching Bruce Springsteen deliver an amazing performance at the Super Bowl and rehearsing for her performance of "Fifteen" at the Grammys!
At the year's Super Bowl, Katy Perry did not include any digs at Taylor in her performance, but she did feature some incredible sharks!
Taylor's name was included in a commercial for Saturday Night Live's 40th Anniversary Episode, which will air on February 15th at 8 pm on NBC! We cannot wait to see what she has in store for us on SNL!
Taylor is trademarking several phrases from 1989, including "Could Show You Incredible Things," "Party Like It's 1989," "Nice to Meet You. Where You Been?," "This Sick Beat," and "Cause We Never Go Out of Style."
