- 0:00Speaker 1: Oh man, that album, That Taylor Swift album. I'm not
- 0:03Speaker 1: gonna lie to you, guys. I think it's the first
- 0:05Speaker 1: Taylor Swift album that I've listened to completely.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Oh really really, that's actually kind of shocking to me.
- 0:11Speaker 1: And I'm also not gonna ide you. I like every
- 0:13Speaker 1: single song.
- 0:14Speaker 3: It's it's a for me, it's a five star. It's
- 0:17Speaker 3: like that. It's it's as good as a pop record's
- 0:20Speaker 3: ever gonna be greak.
- 0:21Speaker 2: What Taylor Swift does so well is making listening to
- 0:26Speaker 2: her album such an experience, and she does it differently
- 0:29Speaker 2: every time, Like she was on the Graham Norton Show
- 0:32Speaker 2: and she talked about even just the release of the album.
- 0:35Speaker 4: I'm always trying to surprise people with how I announced albums.
- 0:38Speaker 4: I've done a few album announcements on award shows, and so,
- 0:41Speaker 4: you know, you do something one time and people were like,
- 0:43Speaker 4: I know what she's gonna do next, She's gonna do
- 0:45Speaker 4: the same thing she did before. So it's like, what
- 0:47Speaker 4: is what are people not going to expect me to do,
- 0:49Speaker 4: is to go on a football podcast and announce an album.
- 0:53Speaker 4: It's very I love the kind of polarity of the
- 0:55Speaker 4: masculine feminine there.
- 0:56Speaker 2: I feel like swifties right now, like you just exploding
- 1:01Speaker 2: because there's so much she does, do everything so differently,
- 1:04Speaker 2: and like she released the album and then it's like
- 1:07Speaker 2: you didn't just get the album, you literally got the
- 1:10Speaker 2: album track by track where Taylor Swift is introducing each song,
- 1:16Speaker 2: telling you her thought process that went into each song
- 1:20Speaker 2: and what the song is about. So it doesn't even
- 1:23Speaker 2: leave you guessing. It leaves you as you're listening to
- 1:25Speaker 2: each song, listening to the lyrics even closer. And in
- 1:30Speaker 2: the interview, she talked about like how excited she is
- 1:34Speaker 2: that this album is out and how different it is
- 1:35Speaker 2: from every other album she's released.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Before the album is out, and I have such uncomplicated
- 1:41Speaker 4: feelings of joy about it. I do not feel any twisty,
- 1:45Speaker 4: tortured way about it, which is not how I felt
- 1:48Speaker 4: about the last album because there was such a lag
- 1:50Speaker 4: time between. You know, when you make music and then
- 1:53Speaker 4: you put it out, there's oftentimes your life can make
- 1:56Speaker 4: drastic changes in those times. With this album, my life
- 1:59Speaker 4: isn't exactly the same spot.
- 2:01Speaker 2: And it's like you could just tell there's joy in
- 2:05Speaker 2: each song in its own way, you know what I mean?
- 2:07Speaker 2: There's all this like there's happiness, and it's something that
- 2:11Speaker 2: like Graham Norton, when she went on the interview with him,
- 2:13Speaker 2: she was he like realized, you know, it's like she's glowing.
- 2:16Speaker 2: There's like there's like heart bubbles all around her.
- 2:20Speaker 1: You're in love.
- 2:21Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of gross. No, it's sickeningly. It's not.
- 2:26Speaker 3: It's by the way, I love being sickeningly in love.
- 2:28Speaker 4: Yeah, so nice, wonderful, it's wonderful. I used to kind
- 2:32Speaker 4: of have this dark fear that if I ever were
- 2:35Speaker 4: truly happy and free being myself and and nurtured by
- 2:39Speaker 4: a relationship, like what happens if the writing just dries up?
- 2:42Speaker 4: What I writing is directly tied to my torment and pain.
- 2:46Speaker 4: And it turns out that's not the case at all.
- 2:48Speaker 4: And we just were catching lightning in a bottle with
- 2:51Speaker 4: this record.
- 2:51Speaker 1: So I was talking to my sister. I asked my
- 2:53Speaker 1: sister to review it for me because she's she's a
- 2:55Speaker 1: she's a swifty and her daughter's swifty, and she's like,
- 2:58Speaker 1: I have too many emotions. Then she goes, honey has
- 3:01Speaker 1: a vibe life, a showgirl's catchy, a banger. As Travis
- 3:03Speaker 1: would say she was. It's all about love and future
- 3:06Speaker 1: and positivity, actually romantic. One of the songs is funny,
- 3:10Speaker 1: a little dig to her ex and the haters. Then
- 3:13Speaker 1: she goes and Fate of Aphelia is about Travis saving
- 3:16Speaker 1: her from death, like in Hamlet, So good. She says
- 3:19Speaker 1: she would have had Fate of Aphelia if she hadn't come,
- 3:22Speaker 1: if he hadn't come for her. Ophelia died of a
- 3:25Speaker 1: broken heart or suicide or whatever. Then she goes googling
- 3:28Speaker 1: to see I don't remember. I didn't read any Hamlet,
- 3:30Speaker 1: so I don't remember.
- 3:31Speaker 3: I know I didn't realize that listening to that song
- 3:33Speaker 3: t op what's the song Opelite is about him because
- 3:37Speaker 3: he makes his own sunshine and came for her with
- 3:39Speaker 3: a megaphone like a pro who watches flames, something like
- 3:42Speaker 3: that love song so good.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Also, his birthdays in October, and the birthstone for October
- 3:47Speaker 2: is opal It's like a little nod to him.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Ophelia is deeply in love with Prince Hamlet, who doesn't
- 3:54Speaker 1: quite feel the same way. Things go sideways after Hamlet
- 3:56Speaker 1: in advertly kills her father and Ophelia goes mad with
- 4:00Speaker 1: grief of eventually drowning in a book or in a brook.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what she's talked about, Like, you know,
- 4:06Speaker 2: the album cover is it's a nod to that artwork
- 4:10Speaker 2: that we talked about on the Ophelia, right, the Fate
- 4:12Speaker 2: of Ophelia. That's the artwork of her sort of drowning.
- 4:15Speaker 2: And she says that that comes back in the lyrics,
- 4:17Speaker 2: and it comes back in the music video for that too.
- 4:19Speaker 1: And then she goes, I think canceled is about Mahomes's wife.
- 4:23Speaker 1: This is all my sisters and guests. People thought she
- 4:27Speaker 1: was annoying. Way before Taylor arrived on the scene. She
- 4:29Speaker 1: did something I'll look at up. I can't remember, something
- 4:31Speaker 1: with a kid or something, but Taylor kept taking pictures
- 4:34Speaker 1: and made everyone shut up. And I think the same
- 4:36Speaker 1: thing with the politics. The girl was good to Taylor.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Let me look stand by, she said. Then she goes
- 4:41Speaker 1: and she says, you know who your friends are? Gucci?
- 4:43Speaker 1: Think all that all the wife Blake Lively doesn't do Gucci,
- 4:46Speaker 1: And I think that she wouldn't give Blake Live the
- 4:48Speaker 1: attention anyway.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny because a lot of people thought Ruined
- 4:52Speaker 2: the friendship was going to be about Blake Lively. But
- 4:54Speaker 2: it's totally not even not loose, like not even close
- 4:56Speaker 2: to that line. That's just like a story about like
- 4:59Speaker 2: the first cudities with an actual friend and kissing them.
- 5:02Speaker 2: It's funny that she brought up actually romantic because it's
- 5:05Speaker 2: really not about her ex at all. The when people
- 5:09Speaker 2: break down that song, it's pretty amazing it's actually about
- 5:14Speaker 2: Charlie XCX. So when she released Brat, there's a song
- 5:18Speaker 2: on the album called Sympathy is a Knife, which included
- 5:21Speaker 2: a line that fans thought meant that Charlie hoped Taylor
- 5:25Speaker 2: Swift and then Matty Heally would break up. And so
- 5:28Speaker 2: I'll play the song for you to listen to the
- 5:30Speaker 2: lyrics and then go, oh, this is about Charlie XCX.
- 5:33Speaker 2: It's not even about a dude. And Charlie XCX, I
- 5:36Speaker 2: believe is with one of Matty Heally's bandmates, like they're together.
- 5:40Speaker 4: They just got married.
- 5:41Speaker 5: I heard you call me boring for me when you
- 5:45Speaker 5: feeling brain I've had my ex and then you said
- 5:49Speaker 5: you glad he goes steady wone me a song say
- 5:54Speaker 5: and it makes you sick to see mu face. Some
- 5:58Speaker 5: people might be, but it's actually sweet. All the time
- 6:07Speaker 5: you've spent on me. It's honestly, Oh the effort you've
- 6:13Speaker 5: put him, it's actually, O man relly god head to you.
- 6:23Speaker 5: O man has ever loved me like you do?
- 6:26Speaker 2: No man has ever loved me like you do. Like
- 6:29Speaker 2: you're putting so much effort into this one sided hate
- 6:32Speaker 2: for me. It's riddic.
- 6:33Speaker 1: It's a really really good song. And now that you
- 6:35Speaker 1: explain that that Charlie x X thing, it makes me
- 6:38Speaker 1: like the song even more. And also, what's up with
- 6:40Speaker 1: Charlie xx chill out on Taylor Swift?
- 6:42Speaker 2: Well, I think it's that whole like the Maddie Heally crew,
- 6:45Speaker 2: they all don't like her, like they all are haters.
- 6:48Speaker 2: She just married George Daniel, which is, yeah, the drummer
- 6:50Speaker 2: of the band Mattie Heely's on.
- 6:52Speaker 4: And actually I didn't hear that there, And that makes
- 6:54Speaker 4: me sad because I love Charlie XCX and I like Taylor,
- 6:57Speaker 4: so I don't want them beefing.
- 6:58Speaker 5: They're awesome.
- 6:59Speaker 1: I guess she was, like Charlie XX was posting making
- 7:01Speaker 1: fun of the bracelets, the friendship bracelets and all kinds
- 7:04Speaker 1: of other things, and tater.
- 7:07Speaker 4: Line is such a Charlie, I know, I know, I.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Know the whole, the whole, that whole, Like I couldn't
- 7:13Speaker 2: even clip that down because like you have to hear
- 7:15Speaker 2: every word of it, and it's just like it's so
- 7:18Speaker 2: searing in the best way. Like you're she wins, I'm
- 7:21Speaker 2: living rent free in your head.
- 7:22Speaker 4: This is amazing.
