About this episode

We’re building a timeline of Taylor’s past & present love affairs — the songs that they inspired, the way they were received, the paparazzi that documented them, and whether we believe they were really what the PR machine wanted us to think they were. Also, we drop our first references to what will become BIG THINGS on this pod: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and #kissgate. Sidebars this week: Fiddler on the Roof, the infamous Joe Jonas Barbie doll, Glee, and Ethel Kennedy’s pets.
