In today's episode, The Snakes expand their swiftie palette to wax poetic about the albums of 2024 that rocked the world, NOT authored by Taylor Swift. This year has been stacked in terms of splashy, attention-grabbing releases. A few of these iconic moments are revisited, but there are also detours into less popular waters...albums you may not have encountered as a swiftie if you weren't a listener of Evolution of a Snake, perhaps. On the agenda: Mitski, Cece Natalie, Sunday (1994), Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, Flo, and more.
