Evolution of a Snake: The Taylor Swift Podcast

• 2025 GRAMMYs Review: Please Be Seated For The Diva Parade

  GET TICKETS TO THE SNERAS TOUR: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com  Today's episode contains the Snake Nation's favorite cosmic occurrence: supreme diva behavior. From Chappell Roan, to Doechii, Sabrina Carpenter, Beyonce, Shakira, and Charli XCXThis year, the Grammy Awards were strangely action-packed and mostly heartwarming. We review and applaud our top divas of the evening, lament the awards we felt were misplaced (few!), and celebrate the unlikely and very likely wins. Plus, as always, there is some Taylor Talk. We will need a national moment of silence for the servitude of That Look. And nothing for the men whatsoever. Enjoy!

• Snakes in the Recording Academy...Our Grammy Ballots!

  GET TICKETS TO THE SNERAS TOUR: https://www,evolutionofasnake.com This week, we’re pretending we get a say in the Grammys and casting our votes for Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and all the categories that matter (and some that don’t). We laugh, we cheer, we boo, we beg the Recording Academy to do the right thing. Will Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter get their flowers? Will Kendrick Lamar obliterate the competition? Will we blindly click “vote” when we see Beyoncé? Tune in as we make our picks, drag some questionable nominees, and manifest justice for the underdogs.

• Snake Storytimes: Heartbreak Is The National Anthem by Rob Sheffield

  GET TICKETS TO EOAS LIVE: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com This week, we’re taking on Rob Sheffield’s Heartbreak is the National Anthem—a book that claims to capture Taylor Swift’s impact on pop music but left us wondering… who was this even for? We dive into Sheffield’s overly personal (and often baffling) writing style, his lack of critical analysis, and the way his close access to Taylor might have muddied the waters of journalistic integrity. Along the way, we explore Taylor’s songwriting, the myths surrounding her high school days, her emotional connection with fans, and the cultural reset of 1989. From Easter eggs to gendered language and the nuances of her influence, we unpack what makes Taylor’s legacy so rich—and why this book doesn’t quite do it justice. Let’s just say we’ve got notes.

• Creating The Third Folkmore Sister Album

  GET TICKETS TO EOAS LIVE IN 2025: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com  Imagine a world where we had a darker, angstier, spookier third child instead of two sister albums...a changeling if you will. That is today's exercise in magical thinking: we, The Snakes, have put our heads together and decided to imagine a world in which there is a triplet. We masterminded our ideal third album by choosing from Taylor Swift's existing discography (excluding all of folklore and evermore, but of course). Creating a narrative, honing the tracklist, and even designing Pinterest boards for the album art and overall vibe of the project. Here's what we came up with.  JOIN THE PATREON FOR WEEKLY BONUS EPISODES: https://www.patreon.com/swiftologist  https://bit.ly/evolutionofasnake Learn more about your ad choices.
