    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.

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.
