Summary
Swifties, get ready — this week’s 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast is packed with the best kind of tea- SwifTEA! Nick, Ana, Amy, and Lacey unpack the viral TS12 Yacht Rock theory sparked by Travis Kelce’s captain’s hat, Taylor’s nautical summer merch, and A12 Easter eggs. Could this be the chill, pastel, 70s-inspired era we never saw coming?
We also dive into Taylor Swift’s directorial debut rumors with Searchlight Pictures, the truth about her screenwriting credit, and speculation about Conversations with Friends ties. Plus — Joseph Kahn confirms a shelved ‘King of My Heart’ music video from the Reputation era, why it never saw the light of day, and whether it could surface now that Taylor owns her masters.
And that’s not all: we break down the folklore quinquennial anniversary post and what it could mean for surprise albums and documentaries in 2025, test a sealed bottle of Wonderstruck perfume from 2011, and hear your Swiftie voicemails (including one shouted from outside Holiday House!).

The later half of this episode, what you're going to hear is a Swift Tea that we recorded on Saturday. And what happened in very classic 13 podcast fashion, right before we recorded, Lacey said, quote, well, nothing major will happen between now and Tuesday. So I think we can record a swift T about all the TS12 theories. But we still want to share all of that, that entire episode that we recorded. So we'll get to that in a minute.
