20. Taylor Swift’s Search for Meaning, part 2 - Evermore - w/ Lauren from QuaranTEEN
She’s the biggest thing in music and she keeps. getting. better. Last year we covered Folklore which won the grammy for Album of the Year. Listeners requested we circle back to discuss Ms. Swift’s surprise follow-up album, Evermore. Darker, riskier, and more eclectic than it’s sister, we tour through the best songs in Taylor’s songwriting sandbox of an album. Some stops on our route include:
- Break-ups, affairs, divorces, & rejected marriage proposals
- Taylor’s use of profanity
- How we’re all a little “f***ed in the head”
- Taylor’s clinical understanding of sin
- Communicating with extroverts vs introverts
- Religion vs Relationship
- Taylor’s sacramental theology
- And as always: guitar riffs, music theory, and ex-girlfriend stories
