About this episode

The episode discusses divisive opinions on Taylor Swift's music, particularly focusing on the Tortured Poets Department's two-year anniversary.

The Tortured Poets Department is officially two years old...which means the recency bias excuse has LOGGED OFF. Today, we’re putting Taylor Swift’s most divisive era on trial. From the overstuffed track list allegations to the Matty Healy of it all, we are prosecuting and defending the most insane, unpopular, and frankly unhinged opinions you sent in. Was TTPD a bloated career mistake or a misunderstood masterpiece that required two years to breathe? SPECIAL TOUR PREVIEW: This segment is a first look at what we're bringing to the stage for our new tour, The Showgirl Experience! In our live show, one of us will be defending and the other will be prosecuting your most controversial TLOAS opinions. Consider this TTPD trial your opening statement for what's coming to a city near you. GET TICKETS: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com Learn more about your ad choices.
