    GET TICKETS TO THE SNERAS TOUR / SHOP SNERAS MERCH: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com Before she was known as the host who got canceled, Ellen DeGeneres was the queen of daytime, and Taylor Swift was a frequent guest. This week on TayRewind, we're unpacking the cultural power of the Ellen Show, why it was both a blessing and a curse for Taylor and how it helped shape her media narrative from the Fearless era through to Lover. From awkward boy talk and surprise guests to the Joe Jonas moment and the now-infamous dating bell segment, we trace Taylor’s complicated relationship with Ellen and what it says about the pop machine of the 2000s and 2010s. https://bit.ly/evolutionofasnake Learn more about your ad choices.

    Flop Or Cult Classic? Tortured Poets One Year Later
    Apr 17 2025
    GET TICKETS TO EOAS LIVE: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com One year ago, Taylor Swift dropped her messiest, most divisive album yet: The Tortured Poets Department. Critics rolled their eyes. Fans fought in the comments. But what really happened? And why does this era still haunt us? In this episode, we review the rollout, the reviews, the backlash, and the brilliance. We unpack the most savage takedowns, the misunderstood lyrics, and the cultural moment Taylor tried to close the book on, only for it to linger louder than ever. Was it a flop? A cult classic? Or something even weirder: a misunderstood masterpiece hiding in plain sight?

    4 Years of Taylor's Version: Vault Rankings & Future Eras
    Apr 10 2025
    GET TICKETS TO EOAS LIVE: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com In today's episode, we're revisiting the wonderful world of Taylor's Version. From the somewhat unexpected release of Fearless (Taylor's Version), to the latest release of 1989 (Taylor's Version), we figured it was a good time to go back into the archives and revisit these special projects. We're discussing the difference between the stolen songs and the re-recordings, what this project meant to us as long-time swifties, how it's changed the music industry, and where Taylor Swift will go from here.
