89. State of Swift: What Went Down in Paris
What if we told you she’s back…with a whole new version of The Eras Tour?! Well, kinda. Over this past weekend in Paris, Taylor debuted a revised version of the tour we’ve come to know over the past 14 months. Between cutting tracks, adding a Tortured Poets Department set, 23 new outfits, and a Tayvis PDA showcase in the City of Love(r), we had to bring you another installment of ‘State of Swift’ to bring you up to speed.

As many of you know, there is a humanitarian crisis happening in Gaza. In our efforts to help the people of Palestine, we are highlighting the GoFundMes of several of our favorite Swiftie creators.

Today, we highlight Abdullah Al-Ashi and his family, sponsored by Elizabeth (aka MoonyBug on TikTok). Please support by donating here.

Customer Reviews
Mental Cages-Mastermind
Just listened to this show-love all of your mental cages shows!
Wanted to say that the comment about not having to feel badly for TS because “she’s fine now” and she’s a billionaire had me thinking.
Does being a billionaire dehumanize a person?
I mean-she did have those experiences. And by all accounts, she felt them deeply. Disappeared from public view, wrote heart wrenching songs, made herself get back up and keep fighting…
What’s her success and money have to do with it?
Rich or not, the memory of sitting alone in the cafeteria is painful.
Period.
My children attended an elite private school because their father worked there. I spent 13 years observing the wealthiest kids (and their parents) in my state as an outsider. I was a lower middle class mom wearing clothes from Target in a world of designer clothes, glamorous spring break trips to Australia (we could barely afford to drive to Florida) and unimaginable access to whatever the world offered. I will tell you without hesitation that I never allowed myself to feel envious or less-than. I saw that despite the outer accoutrements, those families had many if not all of the problems I experienced in my own home. As the old saying goes-we all put on our pants one leg at a time.
What I learned is that misery, tragedy, addiction, mental illness and unexpected loss are felt the same across the board. The rich are as multifaceted and human as the rest of us.
Just my 2 cents—love you both keep up the good work girls!! I love the show and as a fellow Swifty I appreciate all I have Taylearned from you! (Heart Hands ❤️)
Talk way too fast
Love their enthusiasm but they talk way too fast. I cant even follow at times, esp the last episode about drake and kendrick. Very frustrating to try and follow. Need to slow down.
I LOVE DANI AND OLIVIA
I am listing to their new episode now that I am all caught up and I realized we have two episodes till TTPD and I started crying. This will be my first new album as a swiftie and I cannot believe it. But thank you for getting me caught up on the fandom. With my forever love a different Danny💕
