About this episode
Why hellooooo, lovelies!

Welcome to the third and final part of our Taylor Swift series. In 2016, the world celebrated the trashing of Taylor Swift’s reputation. Then, one night in August 2017, the popstar wiped her social media accounts clean. A total blank slate. Why? It was time for her reinvention.

For that 2019 profile of Taylor Swift in The Guardian, head here.

Got some thoughts on this scandal you wanna share? We’re allllll ears (also, eyes, heads, bodies, etc etc) - join in the convo over on our Insta @shamelesspodcast.
