BRUTALLY Ranking Every Taylor Swift Music Video From Lover to Showgirl

About this episode

The episode features a brutal ranking of Taylor Swift's music videos from the 'new testament' era, discussing both the highs and lows of her visual storytelling.

In this episode, we're back — and it gets worse. We're brutally ranking every Taylor Swift music video from the "new testament" era: Lover through The Life of a Showgirl. After spending last episode celebrating the visuals that defined her career, it's time to confront the ones that didn't. From the cosy-but-forgettable to the genuinely embarrassing, we rank them all — worst to best — and we don't hold back. Cardigan vs. Anti-Hero. Bejeweled vs. Fortnight vs The Fate of Ophelia and Opalite. The highs, the lows, and the ones we've collectively agreed to forget. Did Taylor Swift lose the plot visually? We discuss.
