In today's episode, The Snakes expand their swiftie palette to wax poetic about the albums of 2024 that rocked the world, NOT authored by Taylor Swift. This year has been stacked in terms of splashy, attention-grabbing releases. A few of these iconic moments are revisited, but there are also detours into less popular waters...albums you may not have encountered as a swiftie if you weren't a listener of Evolution of a Snake, perhaps. On the agenda: Mitski, Cece Natalie, Sunday (1994), Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, Flo, and more.

We’re here today, to examine some claims they’ve made about who is (or isn’t) in the Great 21st Century Pop Star Canon with our encyclopedic knowledge of Taylor Swift and our...many opinions on everything else.

GET TICKETS TO EOAS LIVE IN 2025: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com

Imagine a world where we had a darker, angstier, spookier third child instead of two sister albums...a changeling if you will. That is today's exercise in magical thinking: we, The Snakes, have put our heads together and decided to imagine a world in which there is a triplet. We masterminded our ideal third album by choosing from Taylor Swift's existing discography (excluding all of folklore and evermore, but of course). Creating a narrative, honing the tracklist, and even designing Pinterest boards for the album art and overall vibe of the project. Here's what we came up with.

TayVMAs? Less Likely Than You Think

Evolution of a Snake: The Taylor Swift Podcast

Welcome back to Evolution of a Snake. In today's episode, The Snakes recount the many events that happened during MTV's lifeless carcass: the VMAs. It was, for once, a semi-exciting year with many gag-worthy performances. Taylor Swift's fashion choices are of course, dissected and cheered over, as are her interesting Tayvis Pilled speeches. Elsewhere: this year is declared as the SabMA's, thanks to Sabrina Carpenter's deeply referential and iconic medley. Chappell Roan gets her Joan of Arc flowers without an untimely fiery end, and Katy Perry is booed for being herself.

Live From New York, It's Saturday Night! 🗽 TayRewind

Evolution of a Snake: The Taylor Swift Podcast

Welcome to TayRewind, a moment where The Snakes can zoom in on a canonical event, moment, or disaster from the Taylor Swift archives in excruciating detail. Sometimes, in the yearly episodes, there isn't enough space to Go Deep on absolutely everything. Here's your first taste of that: flashbacks to a simpler time, 2009. Picture this: Taylor Swift is hot off the heels of her first Pop Culture Moment, and she's here to have another one...by hosting and performing on Saturday Night Live. In this episode, her monologue is reviewed (to acclaim) and the skits that you forgot about are drudged up in all their horror. Enjoy!

Armlyricology: Decoding the Speak Now Tour's Hidden Messages

Evolution of a Snake: The Taylor Swift Podcast

GET TICKETS TO EOAS LIVE: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com

This week, we’re peeling back the Sharpie-stained layers of Speak Now Taylor, decoding the hidden messages of her emotional state, and tracking the timeline of her writing Red. The Speak Now Tour wasn’t just a showcase of ringlet curls and sparkly gowns—it was a live journal entry written in Sharpie on her arm, night after night. And girls, she was going through it.

From post-Gyllenhaal devastation to delusional fairytale princess syndrome, the Arm Lyrics tell the real story of this era: Jagged Little Pill psychosis in Omaha, hopeless romantic breakdowns in Pittsburgh, Joni Mitchell existentialism in Perth. This insanity was brewing for years. We love to see it!
