Welcome to trashy divorces, everybody's favorite good podcast about bad relationships.

Welcome to Trashy Royals, where we assemble each week to reveal and revel in the tales of our

betters behaving badly. And welcome to Swiftery 2. It is a triple takeover today on our trashy channels.

I'm Alicia, and what is even happening this week? What is a Swiftery takeover anyway? Thank you for joining us today.

First up, let's answer the question. What is Swiftery? It is my new Tuesday podcast that intersects all kinds of literature and history through the songs of Taylor Swift.

One of our devoted researchers, Melissa O and My Bestie, is my co-host over on Swiftery.

And every week, we take you on a new journey through Taylor Swift's song and literature and history to,

I really think all of our trash pandas across trashy divorces and trashy royals and

swiftery will enjoy this episode.

It is a bit of history of swiftory.

This is a secret bonus coming to you from the trashy royal side in the fall of last year

where I officially revealed my very, very

official Catherine of Aragon playlist supplied by Taylor Swift. It is a musical and historical ride

and also the invisible string that connected this idea I've been having for the longest. Again, this episode gives you a bit

of an origin story into where swift restarted before it was even a thing, along with a heck of a

soundtrack when you think about Henry the 8th's first wife, Catherine of Aragon. It's an interesting cross-section that I think

will appeal to all three of our audiences today. There is a trashy divorce. There are so many

trashy royals, but Catherine is not one of those. And there is a five-song, Taylor Swift arc,

that fits this queen's life so well. It's a little bit of

swift spear. I sure hope you all enjoyed today's Swiftery bonus, as it really does always connect.
