Evolution of a Snake: The Taylor Swift Fan Podcast

Is “I Knew It, I Knew You” Taylor Swift’s best movie song yet… or are we all just Pixar‑brained right now? In this week’s Taylor Talk, we’re ranking Taylor’s soundtrack canon from “Safe & Sound” to “Carolina” to Toy Story 5, figuring out what actually makes a Swift song cinematic, and deciding where “I Knew It, I Knew You” lands on the Unhinged to EGOT clearing spectrum. Enjoy!

Every month, our patrons send in their most controversial pop culture takes, and we are legally obligated to react. This month’s voicemails broke us. Topics include: whether JoJo Siwa’s “Karma” is actually better than anything KATSEYE has released (and what that says about the music industry machine behind KATSEYE and Manon), Ice Spice’s entire catalogue being for children, the “pity artist” tier list (Sabrina Carpenter, Tate McRae, Addison Rae — your words, not ours), whether Taylor Swift’s re-recordings are a scam, Olivia Rodrigo’s next era, and the great Coachella influencer crisis.

Then COVID happened. Lover Fest was cancelled — and Taylor Swift as we knew her never came back. We built the version of Lover Fest that never was. Full concept setlist, era breakdown, staging ideas, and our honest take on what this tour would have meant for her career trajectory. This is the show Taylor was forced to cancel. We're finishing it for her.

In this episode, we're back — and it gets worse. We're brutally ranking every Taylor Swift music video from the "new testament" era: Lover through The Life of a Showgirl. After spending last episode celebrating the visuals that defined her career, it's time to confront the ones that didn't. From the cosy-but-forgettable to the genuinely embarrassing, we rank them all — worst to best — and we don't hold back.
Cardigan vs. Anti-Hero. Bejeweled vs. Fortnight vs The Fate of Ophelia and Opalite. The highs, the lows, and the ones we've collectively agreed to forget.
Did Taylor Swift lose the plot visually? We discuss.
