Feminine Rage!!!: Mad Woman + Cassandra
Has anyone ever called you crazy for having feelings? That's what we're here to talk about today at Swiftlore. This week, we cover Mad Woman + Cassandra, two songs that really put us in our feminine rage era. Fun fact! Abby fully has a tattoo about this exact topic and somehow forgot to talk about it??? We're gonna blame it on Apollo.

Net-Zero Misogyny: Better Than Revenge + The Man
We decided to balance the scales this week between misogyny and feminism by covering two more songs we love: Better Than Revenge & The Man. We address the gender dynamics in both songs, how Taylor has grown throughout her career, and reveal our own former revenge plots. No men were harmed in the making of this episode (but in 2010, some egos may have been bruised. Who's to say?). Our Patreon will also be launching next week! If you're interested in joining, make sure to follow us on TikTok and Instagram @swiftlorepod for updates 🫶 Disclaimer: This episode contains discussion of misogyny and other related topics. While we do not go in depth, in the second half there is a mention of how survivors are treated in the justice system. Please be advised, and stay safe!

Abby is 27! X is 10!: An Unhinged Conversation About X by Ed Sheeran
Can you believe it's been 10 years since this album dropped and changed our lives? In this episode, we celebrate Abby's 27th birthday while celebrating X's, too. Abby learns that Wikipedia can't be trusted, Cat reflects on her first live performance, and both of us share how no one commits to the bit like our high school. It's a fun one, folks - even if you don't know the album, we assure you that we mostly talk about ourselves as usual🫶 Disclaimer: This album deals with heavy themes such as death, grief, and substance use. While we do not go in depth into these topics, they are mentioned. If you are especially sensitive to those subjects, feel free to come back next week! ♥️ Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @swiftlorepod for more content, and keep an eye out next month for our Patreon!

Let's Get Emo About Friendship: seven + Long Live
