Summary

In this replay episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we have officially entered THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT!

Before we deep dive into the music and lyrics of this album, we think it’s important to understand Taylor’s epilogue, as well as the prologue by Stevie Nicks. Both passages are important elements to the album as a whole, so let’s discuss the overall themes and ideas before we dive in!

Plus, Ana has a “working thesis” on how this album ties to Taylor’s discography as a whole!

And the best part - a very sweet surprise from a fellow Swiftie to help us kick off this era, and a thoughtful gift from Lacey’s sister!

There are lots of ways to reach us, including our exclusive Lobster Lounge! Join in on the discussion there at https://station.page/13 or let us know on the socials!
