Welcome back to Evolution of a Snake.

I'm Zach.

And I'm Madeline.

And this is Showgirl ology. Yay.

This is our annual Taylor Swift First Impressions album response. I would not call this a review

simply because we haven't had a lot of time to sit with the record yet. We've each listened to it

like six or seven times maximum.

So this is really just like our first raw, unfiltered reactions, thoughts, impressions of what we heard. And I think what's safe to say is that if you want to see more content about the life

of a showgirl and you want to see our unedited reactions Madeline's full reaction

which can't get anywhere else. Go to patreon.com slash swiftologist. We are running a 20% off

Patreon promo that will last until the 10th of October. So you've got five more days to get

your stuff and showgirl. And trust me, you want to come in. We've got lots of fun stuff.

Planned reaction to the interviews are going on. You don't want to miss it. There's a lot of show grilling going on on the Patreon. Why are you missing out? That's stupid. Don't miss it out. I didn't buy all these headdresses for free. That wasn't free. It wasn't free. And you should know that. It was bought with your money.

So give us more so I can get more headdresses.

Thank you.

Precisely.

I think it's safe to say that this is one of the most unpleasant album release weekends I've ever experienced as a Swifty that has experienced pretty much every major

release weekend. It's been really, really, really polarizing and not a single person as

being normal. I've even been abnormal a couple of times myself. I haven't been on. I've been on

so many journeys with this album. I first listened to it and was like, yay!

And then I went online and was like, oh, no.

And then I listened again, and I was like, ah!
