Summary

GET TICKETS TO THE SNERAS TOUR / SHOP SNERAS MERCH: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com Before she was known as the host who got canceled, Ellen DeGeneres was the queen of daytime, and Taylor Swift was a frequent guest. This week on TayRewind, we're unpacking the cultural power of the Ellen Show, why it was both a blessing and a curse for Taylor and how it helped shape her media narrative from the Fearless era through to Lover. From awkward boy talk and surprise guests to the Joe Jonas moment and the now-infamous dating bell segment, we trace Taylor’s complicated relationship with Ellen and what it says about the pop machine of the 2000s and 2010s. https://bit.ly/evolutionofasnake Learn more about your ad choices.
