This podcast is a GEM for Swiftie lovers or to be honest any pop culture lovers because they don’t just talk about Taylor but they go into other side topics of media. I love the muses episodes and the Easter egg theories because I too frequent clownelia street 🤡 I put this show on while I do chores and it feels like I’m body-doubling with my best fitness. Keep on keeping on. Love y’all! 💓

I’ve only been a Swiftie for a couple of years and just discovered Taylearning a couple months ago, and I absolutely LOVE IT!! As someone still fairly new to the world of Taylor Swift, it’s been super helpful to sort of ‘catch me up’ on the lore and help me understand certain songs and their potential meanings. I also really love that Dani and Olivia are so respectful of Taylor as a human being and display what I think are good, healthy boundaries within the parasocial relationship. I highly recommend this podcast for any Swiftie, but it’s especially great if you’re new to the fandom.

As a Swiftie since 2006 when I first heard Tim McGraw on the radio, I’ve loved listening to this podcast! It feels like I’m chatting with some fellow swiftie besties and is so much fun! I also really appreciate how much time, effort, and research these gals put in to ensure an informed and interesting episode each time! Highly recommend for anyone remotely interested in Taylor Swift! 🫶
