Listen "Episode 8: Taylor Swift"
Episode Synopsis
pplpod Episode 8 dives into Taylor Swift’s shape-shifting career—from teenage songwriter and Nashville breakthrough to global pop architect and the record-setting Eras era. We trace the craft behind her hooks and narratives, the power moves (masters dispute and Taylor’s Version re-records), and the genre pivots that kept her ahead of the curve: country-pop to synth-pop, indie-folk to stadium anthems. We break down collaboration choices, touring strategy, and how community, storytelling, and ownership turned a singular artist into a modern media ecosystem. Expect session notes, production insights, and a clear look at legacy, influence, and what sustained reinvention actually requires.
