When most people think of Taylor's opening acts they probably remember Ed Sheeran and Vance Joy. However, Taylor has had quite the range of incredible openers dating all the way back to the Fearless era! Do you remember Justin Bieber opening for her in the UK? Or how she helped give Hunter Hayes his start before he exploded onto the country charts? We recap all of this and more, plus give our predictions on who we think might open for Taylor on the infamous upcoming TS6 tour! Thank you for listening!

Suitcases. Evil twins. Missing belly buttons. Over the years, Taylor has been the target of some pretty ridiculous (but pretty hilarious) media stories. As we all know, clickbait headlines are one thing, but wild conspiracy theories are quite another!

From the dawn of the Debut era all the way through 1989, Taylor's style has directly evolved with each album she has released. On this week's episode, our hosts revisit what fashion choices defined each era- the clothes, the hairstyles, the lipstick, you name it - in an attempt to predict Taylor's image during album 6. Will Taylor keep the same hairstyle as 1989? Will she return to her country roots and dress down for the cameras? Will she retain her New York chic? Only time will tell, but our hosts have fun and chat all the possibilities and what they might mean for Taylor's music! Thank you for listening!
