“I love the idea and most of the episodes of this podcast! I will say I was pretty disheartened in one episode when addressing the queer interpretations of her music when Nora said “internet’s gonna internet.” I totally get not feeling comfortable talking about queer interpretations of her work, but it seemed pretty dismissive of a growing sector of Taylor’s fan base and why they love her music. Queer fans produce really incisive and precise analyses of her lyrics, styling and artistry, and I think the hosts could have acknowledged that and said something like “we don’t feel comfortable speaking about it but it’s a growing sector of her large fan base.” Potentially also worth bringing on other guests with different backgrounds to explore what connections they form with her music. The Wondery podcast Even the Rich will bring on an outside specialist periodically to talk in conversation with the main hosts and offer another perspective. I’m thinking too of Switched on Pop’s recent episode on “sapphic pop” as another point that addresses this growing trend in music and artist/ fan relationships. Thanks for your work!”
