Summary

Fearless (Taylor's Version) was a stroll down memory lane, so we're taking one with you in this episode. We revisit the highs and lows of the iconic, faux country extravaganza, and express our dismay towards the vault songs and *certain* re-recordings which were perhaps recorded in a toaster. As always, we extend our congratulations to The Snake on the maintenance of her status as The World's Most Insane Person. There is some chatter about the new merch (and Austin Swift's secret side gig) as well as some speculation on where we go from here. @tsfolklore and @hoaxlakes on twitter.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the evolution of a snake. I'm Zach. And I'm Madeline.

0:20.2

And this is our Fearless Taylor's version,

0:23.0

the re-recording's remix, revamped, remastered edition. The re-up. The re-up. Pink Friday.

0:30.9

Yeah. So we are definitely going to have a shorter episode today because, I mean, what else is there to say?

0:39.4

We have discussed this album at length previously, but I suppose there are new elements that we can go over.

0:46.6

So I was thinking maybe we should start with the vault tracks.

0:50.8

Madeline, what are your overall thoughts on the vault tracks?

0:56.6

Um, where do I start? Honestly, I would say one thing that I think that I've forgotten about

1:03.1

and all the hubbub is that ultimately at the end of the day, that for all of these songs,

1:08.4

there was like a reason that they didn't make it onto the album

1:11.9

and i think that you know it's not that i'm saying that they're bad like none of them are

1:16.1

genuinely bad except for one of them i think is probably the worst thing i've ever heard in my

1:20.4

life but that's another story but honestly to me mr perfectly fine is probably the best one

1:25.7

in my personal opinion it It fits in with the

1:28.4

record. It's a total fucking bop. And I feel like the reason it got cut is because it was too pop.

1:33.9

And that's, I don't think it was because of any other fucking reasoning, except for maybe they

1:38.0

didn't want to have two absolute takedowns of Joe Jonas on one album. But I say we're not.

1:43.6

Too powerful. But also, I mean, I don't think

1:46.7

it got cut for any other fucking reason other than it was too poppy, which is fair because it definitely

1:50.8

was. But it still kind of fits. Like I feel like it was as pop as you belong with me was. But then

1:56.1

you belong with me was the pop song on the record anyway. Anyway, you get what I'm getting at. Like, it wasn't cut for
