Welcome to the 1989 breakdown...it's been waiting for you! Join the Swiftie Sisters as they take a closer look at how 1989 transformed Taylor's songwriting identity, positioning her toward a more mature artistic path. They'll touch on the ways her pop craft has evolved since making her first pop album, where the 80s influence shows up on this record, and how 1989 forever changed the way Taylor made music. And of course, a track-by-track review of the best and the worst 1989 has to offer...


Note from the hosts:

We had a technical issue with one of the mics while recording part of this episode. The audio is still listenable, but if you prefer to skip it, fast forward to the 45 minute mark. It's less noticeable if you're able to listen to the first 45 minutes on a speaker rather than headphones. Thank you for understanding!
