107. 5 Years of Lover: Revisiting the Era

Listen on Apple PodcastsSpotifyMore Platforms

Join us as we take a trip down memory lane and celebrate the fifth anniversary of Taylor Swift’s seventh studio album, Lover. We share why this was Taylor’s last traditional album rollout, the context of the time, what songs aged like fine wine and what didn’t, and why this pink, sparkly, Easter egg filled era was cut so short. (Spoiler–it was COVID-19! RIP Lover Fest.) What would have happened? Did everything work out for the best? Would we have gotten the critically acclaimed Folklore without the abrupt end–or, flop–of Lover? What would the world look like today if “Cruel Summer” had been the lead single over “ME!”? Listen to find out.
