13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast

It’s Taylor Swift’s birthday, and somehow she’s the one giving us gifts. In this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we dive headfirst into the first two episodes of Taylor’s Eras Tour documentary and her revealing, hilarious, and emotionally loaded appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. We unpack everything: the overwhelming emotion behind the Eras Tour, the responsibility Taylor carries as a global icon, the heartbreak and resilience surrounding Vienna, and the quiet moments that show who she really is when the spotlight dims. From backstage tears to bonus-day generosity, from Mirrorball validation to the power of audiobooks as emotional armor — nothing is off limits. Plus, we talk reputation rumors, surprise lyric changes, Swiftie clownery, Travis Kelce crumbs, dancer spotlights, and why Taylor’s confidence still makes people uncomfortable (and why it absolutely shouldn’t). This episode is joyful, heavy, validating, chaotic, and deeply human — just like Taylor herself.Happy birthday, Taylor. Thanks for once again reminding us why we picked the right one.  Stay Connected with 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast Join the conversation in our exclusive  Lobster Lounge:  station.page/13  Contact the Podcast  Voicemail: (689) 214-1313  Email: [email protected]  Instagram: @the13podcast  TikTok: @the13podcast  Twitter/X: @the13TSpodcast  YouTube: 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast  Follow the Hosts  Ana – @anaszabo13  Lacey – @laceygee13  Amy – @amysnichols  Nick – @heynickadams Learn more about your ad choices.

Taylor Swift is officially nominated for the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and our own panel of Swifties are celebrating the only way we know how — by turning it into a competitive draft. But there’s a catch... We cannot pick any of the five songs Taylor submitted herself. In this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, Nick, Ana, Amy, and Lacey each take turns drafting their personal five-song lineup that they believe best represents Taylor’s songwriting mastery — from lyrical gut-punches to iconic storytelling to pop perfection. And once someone chooses a song, it’s off the table forever. Yes… feelings are hurt. Strategies crumble, and the TTPD gloves come off! Hear our passionate defenses, surprising picks, heated moments over a fan fav snack size song, and even a little friendly chaos over drafting order. We cover everything from classics like Our Song and You Belong With Me to deep-cut heartbreakers, folklore masterpieces, and songs that showcase her evolution from teenage prodigy to generational songwriter. We also ask: Which songs should represent Taylor’s entire 20-year career? Which of her lyrics hit hardest for Songwriters Hall of Fame voters? And why didn’t any of us pick something from a particular album… yet? Stick around to hear everyone’s final five-song sets — and tell us yours! Subscribe, share your picks with us, and let’s manifest Taylor becoming the youngest inductee ever.  Stay Connected with 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast Join the conversation in our exclusive  Lobster Lounge: station.page/13  Contact the Podcast  Voicemail: (689) 214-1313  Email: [email protected]  Instagram: @the13podcast  TikTok: @the13podcast  Twitter/X: @the13TSpodcast  YouTube: 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast  Follow the Hosts  Ana – @anaszabo13  Lacey – @laceygee13  Amy – @amysnichols  Nick – @heynickadams Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we dive deep into one of Taylor’s most beloved bonus tracks: “right where you left me” — Track 16 from the Evermore (Deluxe Edition). Swifties have crowned this song a top-tier masterpiece, and today we’re breaking down every lyric, every Easter egg, and every emotional gut-punch that makes it unforgettable. We revisit Taylor’s iconic Eras Tour performance of the song — including that perfectly relatable moment when even Taylor Swift herself stumbles over the lyrics she admits are “one of the wordiest songs” in her catalog.  We fangirl over the brand-new Eras Tour docuseries trailer and what it reveals about Taylor’s creative process, color-coded chaos, surprise song strategy, and the behind-the-scenes moments we’ve been dying to see. From lyric dissection to real-life parallels, we explore: The heartbreaking imagery behind “Help, I’m still at the restaurant” and being emotionally frozen in time Connections between Evermore, The Life of a Showgirl, and Taylor’s evolving narrative Taylor’s fears, superstitions, and creative reinventions Why this track resonates so deeply with grief, growth, and the fear of being left behind The parallels to “Opalite” — and how Taylor finally leaves the table And then — one of the most unforgettable moments from the 13 Podcast voicemail..We receive a stunning, heartfelt voicemail from Antarctica. Yes, literally the bottom of the world. A Swiftie shares how our episode countdowns, Instagram posts, and podcast have become a lifeline in isolation and inspired “Taylor Tuesdays” at the southernmost edge of the planet. It’s goosebumps. It’s full-body chills. It’s why we do this. Whether you're here for lyric lore, Taylor’s universe-level storytelling, emotional wreckage, or just to laugh at our collective inability to spell “restaurant,” this episode has everything Swifties crave.

In this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, Ana, Amy and Nick break down “evermore” — the beautiful closing track of Taylor Swift’s evermore album featuring Bon Iver and co-written with William Bowery (Joe Alwyn). We dive into Taylor’s emotional storytelling, the symbolism behind lyrics like “gray November” and “this pain would be forevermore,” and how the song captures the shared heaviness of 2020. The hosts unpack Taylor’s reflections on the 2016 fallout, her isolation during the pandemic, and how the song’s closing warmth — “floors of a cabin creaking under my step” — reminds us that healing and hope always return. They also discuss the poetic bridge with Bon Iver, the emotional shift from despair to peace, and the theory behind the “alternate endings” Taylor teased with right where you left me and it’s time to go.  Join the 13 Podcast for this heartfelt episode as they close the book on evermore and prepare for Taylor’s alternate endings of this story with the evermore deluxe tracks..

It’s the end of Evermore era (almost!) — and what better way to celebrate it than with the breakdown of closure. In this episode, Nick, Ana, and Amy dive deep into the meaning of "closure" from Evermore, exploring its chaotic intro, sharp lyricism, and what the song reveals about saying goodbye — even when you don’t need to. From theories about who the song might be directed toward (Scott Borchetta? Scooter Braun? A former friend?) to how Taylor transforms sarcasm into strength, this breakdown covers it all. Plus, hear theories on why Closure isn’t actually the final song on Evermore — and what that says about Taylor’s storytelling.

On this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, Nick, Ana, Amy, and Lacey dive deep into track seven on Evermore: “Happiness.” From Taylor’s own reflections in the Willow live chat and her Apple Music interview with Zane Lowe, to parallels with The Great Gatsby and Easter eggs leading into Midnights and The Life of a Showgirl, we explore the hidden meanings, lyrics, and emotions behind this deceptively titled ballad. We also break down how “happiness” fits into Taylor’s larger storytelling—grief, reinvention, and moving forward after heartbreak—and debate fun Swiftie trivia like Taylor’s longest songs, the caterpillar-to-butterfly lyric connections, and listener voicemails that tie songs across albums.

In this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we break down “Tolerate It”—the Track 5 on Evermore, and one of the most heart-wrenching songs in Taylor Swift’s entire discography. From lyrical parallels to Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier to raw Eras Tour performance memories, we explore why this specific type of hurt still resonates with Swifties everywhere. We dive into Taylor’s genius use of metaphor (“I made you my temple, my mural, my sky”), discuss the infamous Track 5 tradition, and reflect on the live Eras Tour performance—and speculate why “Tolerate It” was cut from later setlists. Plus: Easter eggs, hidden references to Joe Alwyn, the Aaron Dessner connection, and a Gilmore Girls prop surprise that’ll blow your mind. Featuring the bittersweet farewell of our beloved intern Saahir, this episode is packed with Swiftie tears, fan theories, and listener love.

Taylor Swift surprised fans with the release of “evermore” on December 11, 2020. Before “13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast” existed, Nick, Ana, Amy, and Lacey came together to record an album breakdown on December 17, 2020, which was at the time shared on different podcasts. In this episode, you will hear the very first idea of a Taylor Swift podcast, theories about the re-recording process and how that could play out. Hear the true first reactions to the “evermore” album, before these beloved Swifties had an entire podcast dedicated to Taylor’s music. How do their thoughts compare now, years later? Did any emotions hold up? Did any songs change in favor? Enjoy other firsts, like first speculation of how a Taylor Swift concert could look, a warning about trying to get tickets in the future, and other theories that are still being discussed today, the Woodvale trilogy, in real time.  We hope you enjoy this time capsule episode as we get started with our “evermore” era in 2025.

In light of the biggest news in Taylor Swift history - Taylor buying back her masters - we thought this would be a good time to revisit the reason that Taylor was re-recording her work in the first place! At the start of this podcast nearly 4 years ago, one of the very first episodes we did was a breakdown of the legal and emotional battle between Taylor Swift, her old record label, Scooter Braun, and more. This podcast started alongside Taylor's mission to re-record her work and gain back ownership of everything. Given the great news in her success, a lot of new fans (or old fans who needed a refresher) were curious as to why this was all so important. This week's episode is a repost of our original "Revenge of the Re-recordings" episode from 2021, so everything you hear dates back to that.  This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Benny Blanco has worked behind the scenes on some of the biggest songs in music, but in this episode, the hitmaker steps into the spotlight to get personal. Sitting down with host Nick Major, Benny opens up about his relationship with Selena Gomez, from the surprising moment she first said "I love you" to the nerves that hit him right before he proposed. He also discusses the making of their new album I Said I Love You First, sharing how the creative process naturally unfolded in their home rather than a traditional studio. But this episode isn’t just about music. Benny reveals why he refuses to fly, sharing the story of a terrifying flight that changed his life and how he now takes cross-country road trips and week-long cruises instead. Speaking of cruises, he reminisces about the time he and Ed Sheeran wrote Divide on a boat—while sharing studio space with an elderly woman who unknowingly interrupted the creation of Castle on the Hill and Happier. The conversation also takes a turn into life beyond music. Benny talks about his dream of one day becoming a dad, his love for spontaneous songwriting, and why relationships built on fun and support make all the difference. He also shares thoughts on growing up in Virginia, his hilarious take on people who still leave their phone volume on, and why he’s perfectly fine never going on tour. From unexpected career moments to deep reflections on love, fears, and the joys of taking the long way around, this episode gives you a whole new perspective on one of music’s most influential producers.
