This week, Alicia takes us through her imagined Taylor Swift musical journey of Mary, Queen of Scots! Mary has been the focus of one of her other podcasts, Trashy Royals, recently, and there is so much more to say about Mary, a glamazon queen with a terrible picker. Talk about being born at the wrong time. Mary’s story is a ride through her three ultimate Taylor songs, according to Alicia.

Mary’s song’s include Anti-Hero, Cruel Summer, and Evermore, with the Taylor history included. It's time to go deep into this Tudor soundtrack, filled with a flawed character you root for, bad romances, and a complicated relationship with so many folks, including Mary's cousin, Queen Elizabeth I.
