It’s been a fortnite with The Tortured Poets Department Anthology, and we have a lot of thoughts. Have we wrapped our head around this album yet? What’s our favorite song of the moment? And what is this theory about something going down TODAY? Lots of rumors are swirling about May 3rd.. Let’s see if anything happens! Something else we are still wrapping our heads around is getting to spend time with fellow friends and fanatics at our event at Grandscape with Swifties in the Park! The weather...

The 13 Podcast got to talk all things about The Tortured Poets Department and more with the incredible women behind the Pop Apologists podcast, Lauren and Chan! We talk initial thoughts on the new album, the muse that left Taylor Swift so tortured, and the critique that some people have about the content of the album. Thank you so much to the Spotify mashup program for putting this collaboration together! Be sure to check out the Pop Apologists podcast on Spotify, where they talk everything...

It was touch and go there for a moment but the weather cooperated and the event was such a big time success! It’s the 13 Podcast and lots of Swifties live from Swifties in the Park! Over 600 Swifties came out and celebrated the new album, a huge milestone and birthday for the podcast! We had so many cool Swiftie businesses there selling their merch made with love, we had friends come in from all the US to hang, talk, celebrate, exchange hugs and friendship bracelets. We played games and...

It’s Swifties talking Taylor Swift and business. What a fun conversation with a talented group of business women! Charity Eden and Terah Lee talk about their inspiration and journeys as business women with Taylor Swift on the brain! Charity thought of recreating the Eras Tour while at the Eras Tour, and all of the firsts that she has done to make such a fierce show! From learning the music, making the costumes, dancing for the first time ever! And all of this while being a relatively new...

It’s been a busy few days for Swifties! Taylor Swift released The Tortured Poets Department, then dropped a surprise album a few hours later! Thirty-one brand new songs that we had the weekend to get into!   Have we even had enough time to make the choice of ranking our top 5 tracks of the new albumS?! Of course not, but do we do it anyway! Plus, what went down at our streaming party that had us all cry-laughing? And listen to our interview from the Dr. Phil network! A big thanks to the...

Absolute chaos is erupting! Taylor Swift has no chill and wants us all to be tortured! Welcome to the album rollout week, Taylor's Version.  In the last 24 hours, there has been a mysterious QR code… and we just so happened to know someone that could immediately go scope out the situation! There are still so many other questions, like Serpentine or what Taylor is trying to tell us in the Apple word of the day.. but we do know who’s listed on the songwriting credits. And there’s a very cool...

Strike 2! Wait… Is that another 2? Was this all a part of the plan after all? This week instead of the usual song breakdown, we decided to rank our favorite TTPD tracks by track title alone only! It’s a trend that we’ve seen going around and one of our sweet listeners suggested it a while ago, so let’s do it! In typical us fashion (lmfao if you will), we got the track lengths moments after recording. Then yesterday, the songwriting credits came out and other chaos ensued. Ana and Amy will...

Taylor Swift got us again! She heard the fan theories and arranged her discography into the 5 stages of grief playlists on Apple Music.. and there were some shockers! I’m sure everyone’s jaw hit the floor when they saw where she placed Lover! Taylor left a voice memo, explaining the thought process behind each stage. Ana Szabo, Amy Nichols and Nick Adams break it all down! It’s almost time for TTPD and we have lots of celebrations coming up! Join our live listening party the moment the...

How You Get The Girl is a how-to manual written by Taylor Swift, but some people just still don’t get it! Taylor talks about her inspiration behind this song and ends it with a very funny thought on how this could go if you follow this manual exactly! She performed this song recently during the surprise song set on the Eras Tour, and we like to think it’s because Travis Kelce was in the crowd.. even though we were all thinking of tortured songs because of her soon to be released album, The...

Taylor Swift’s view on relationships have evolved over the years. Now she’s not looking at fairytale endings, she’s just thinking to remember the good parts. What caused Taylor to release this song out of order, creating a glitch? What was the inspiration behind the song and video? Nick Adams, Ana Szabo, Amy Nichols and Lacey Gee break it all down! And why are we so silly? Probably because we are so giddy about our upcoming party! We will be having a listening party the night of TTPD...

Taylor Swift wrote an anthem after someone did her dirty and, like most of her work, it turned out to be a mega successful song! Ana Szabo and Amy Nichols discuss the inspiration behind this song, the female-powered music video, and the reconciliation that has happened since. Don’t forget that we are now streaming on YouTube! The video for this episode will be dropping soon, so be sure to subscribe to our channel for the latest!  Want to celebrate The Tortured Poets Department in the best...

From the desk of the 13 Podcast - The 13 Podcast would like to cordially invite you to celebrate the release of The Tortured Poets Department and our 3-year anniversary! (Did you say THREEEEE??!!)

I Wish You Would solidified a beautiful relationship that we all love and respect, the one between Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff. They bonded over a sick beat and have been ride-or-die ever since.    IWYW is that 80s romcom classic when you let you guard down and say how you really feel. It was Taylor’s first time rekindling a friendship after a failed relationship, and she toyed with the idea of that ex that just bought a house BY HER to actually stop by on his way home. Yes, we are...

It’s been a while since the 13 podcast department has had a meeting, and we have a lot of catching up that we need to do! Ana Szabo, Amy Nichols and Lacey Gee gather to discuss Taylor Swift’s appearances on GMA and the last of the Eras Tour for now. We are missing one member today so we can’t finalize the punishment, but we discuss the results from this leg of the secret song predictions. Now the question is.. Should the two losers duke it out in one final competition or face the punishment...

Shake It Off is the perfect example of the track 6 whiplash that we get after an emotional track 5 ballad. Shake It Off is that song that everyone knows. The anthem that Taylor Swift wrote to tell everyone.. I hear what you’re saying and I DON’T CARE! Plus the big lawsuit that likely held back the release of 1989 TV for so long, and legally changed the outcome for music moving forward. And speculation on what’s to come next, including a new Rep rumor! Could we see Reputation (Taylor’s...

It’s time to break down the 5th song on 1989 tv, and we know what track 5 means in the Swiftieverse… It’s another emotional masterpiece.. Are you ready for it? Taylor Swift talks about how this song literally haunted her in the middle of the night. A cringe dream that describes her insecurities and her breaking point in a relationship. And it’s so interesting for someone else to take the same lyrics and deliver it with a different spin. Did you know Ryan Adams did an album covering the...

Taylor Swift kept us on our toes in Singapore, and there’s even more madness to come. Not only did she do some superior song mashups, she did some perplexing things as well… Why did Taylor Nation go live just for the chairman remain silent? What do all of these Tortured Poets Department variants add up to? Does Midnights kick off the stages of grief or is there one more to come? And how will Taylor Swift end this leg of tour? We discuss the happenings over the last few days and make our...

You know we love Taylor Swift’s voice memos.. Ana even quotes one all the time but today, we share voice memos from our listeners! What did our fellow Swifties have to say? We get to that… PLUS, song predictions for Singapore after a mashup filled weekend in Sydney! Taylor has six shows coming up and we give our predictions for the first half and will reconvene with more guesses next week! There’s major drama in Sydney that you need to know about! Taylor Swift makes history again, which...

This week on 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we dive deep into the meanings behind Taylor's anxiety-filled pop hit "Out Of The Woods" BUT FIRST, we have the cutest guest in studio. We get to talk to Nick's son, Davis. What's Davis' favorite Taylor Swift song? And we ask the hard-hitting questions too so.... what tea does he spill on his dad? We break down the lyrical references to Taylor's rumored relationship with Harry Styles, including their matching paper airplane necklaces, New Year's...

The Eras Tour was unhinged last weekend, especially when it came to the secret song set. How will that change our game moving forward? There are new rules and a new way that you can chime in with us! Taylor Swift plays by her own rules and she made that clear last weekend! She unveiled a bonus track and a new cover for the Tortured Poets Department, played You’re Losing Me for the first time ever.. then played mashups galore the rest of the weekend! We hear from Georgia, who got to...

Taylor Swift sings about the turmoil of a doomed relationship that looks too good on the outside. It’s a classic song about this good girl/ bad boy relationship that will never go out of style. Taylor explains the meaning and inspo behind the song, and the mature fault that she takes publicly for the first time. Nick Adams, Ana Szabo, Amy Nichols and Lacey Gee break down the lyrics, the history, the relationship with Harry Styles, and more! A big thanks to this episode’s sponsors! Try...

It’s been a few days since the big win but it’s the first chance that we were able to get together and talk about what went down at the Super Bowl. A new rule was in play, Taylor’s lucky number 13 made quite a few appearances, Travis Kelce’s many singing moments, the triumphant return to social media, and more! Plus, the results from our very first ever Swift Bowl! Who was crowned the winner? And we get into predictions for this weekend in Melbourne, Australia. What are our guesses for the...

We get to talk to another iconic Swiftie.. One that handcrafted their own Eras Tour outfit AGAIN to catch the show in Melbourne.. One that painstakingly missed the song they picked for their cool handle by one day. We talk to the lovely Vinoj, known as MrPerfectlyFine13! He will be at the show in Melbourne this weekend and he has high expectations for what could take place! Yes, this interview was recorded shortly before the announcement of TS11, The Tortured Poets Department, but anything...
