In part one of our two-part series on Taylor Swift, Luce and Liv relive Taylor Swift as we’ve always known her. Era by era, we discuss the music, the look, and the people who inspired (sometimes in a good way, sometimes... not) Taylor Swift to become the superstar we’re all enamoured with today. All I can say is it was enchanting to record this episode for you. 


As always, a big shout out to Neon - literally the best NZ streaming service - for making this episode of Culture Vulture possible.
