The Sleepover Club: How Taylor Swift & M...

THE POLYESTER PODCAST
About this episode

The stans are not happy. They're returning gig tickets, creating twitter threads justifying their decision to attend concerts, and rescinding their status as a Swiftie; all because Taylor Swift is dating Matty Healy. But why are the (rumoured) new couple so controversial? And should we deserve better from the celebrities we love? This episode, Ione and Eden are digging into the controversy - from why people hate the 1975 frontman, and if fans project too much onto their faves, to whether Taylor Swift has ever, really, been a good person.
