Secret Session: A Taylor Swift Podcast

Let's talk about the first track of Taylor's new album, The Life of a Showgirl! This one is full of parallels to old songs. And we had so much fun talking about all the Hamlet references!At 00:10:09, we read the passage from Shakespeare's Hamlet about Ophelia's death. Since we're Italians and our accent might be a bit difficult to understand when we're reciting 16th century literature, you can follow along by reading the text here (line 3315).Click here for a ⁠free Palestine⁠.Support us on ⁠Ko-Fi⁠!You can find us here:Instagram: @secretsessionpodcast_⁠TikTok⁠: @secretsessionpodcast⁠Twitter⁠: @secretsessionts⁠Spotify for Creators⁠Youtube⁠⁠Google Podcasts⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠e-mail: secretsessionpodcast@gmail.com Hope you'll join us in the next episodes, streaming every Wednesday.Disclaimer: we are not in any way affiliated/associated with Taylor Swift or her labels.

Before diving into the analysis of The Life of a Showgirl (we need some time to process it and to analyze the songs!) we decided to talk about the first song where Taylor explored what it means to be a showgirl.FYI, we recorded this before the album dropped.Click ⁠here⁠ for a ⁠free Palestine⁠.Support us on ⁠⁠Ko-Fi⁠⁠!You can find us here:⁠Instagram⁠: @secretsessionpodcast_⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠: @secretsessionpodcast⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠: @secretsessionts⁠⁠Spotify for Creators⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠Google Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠e-mail: ⁠secretsessionpodcast@gmail.com⁠ Hope you'll join us in the next episodes, streaming every Wednesday.Disclaimer: we are not in any way affiliated/associated with Taylor Swift or her labels.

Sometimes a person's bad actions make you forget about all the good memories with them. That's what happened in this song, where Taylor forgot all the nice things about an ex and renamed him "the smallest man who ever lived".Click ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠ for a ⁠free Palestine⁠.Support us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Ko-Fi⁠⁠⁠⁠!You can find us here:⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠: @secretsessionpodcast_⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠: @secretsessionpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠: @secretsessionts⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify for Creators⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Google Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠e-mail: ⁠⁠⁠secretsessionpodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠ Hope you'll join us in the next episodes, streaming every Wednesday.Disclaimer: we are not in any way affiliated/associated with Taylor Swift or her labels.

We still haven't watched Superman (2025) in cinemas, but we know that in 2010 Taylor was indeed watching Superman fly away to save the world (or go to work... it's the same thing to her).

This love may be good or bad, but we think "This Love" is simply perfect. Also one of Taylor's most romantic songs.
