HAPPY TS12!!!🧡 I love myself for prewriting this description bc it’s currently 11:58 on October 3rd and I just finished editing 2.5 HOURS of footage for today’s episode. Today we’re celebrating The Life of a Showgirl together, we’re dusting off our eras tour outfits and heading to the movie theatre to celebrate a new album with a room full of screaming swifties. And most importantly, we’re listening to a new episode of DBATB podcast.

For the first time ever, I’m live reacting to a brand new Taylor album, which is completely new for me but here we are and I am PUMPED. Listening to this album for the first time now.

I feel like I am not a very good first reaction girly, but here we are. The first time I listen to an album I’m usually pretty conflicted and it takes me a few lessons to really find my favorites and listen to the lyrics deep enough to understand them. With that being said, my expectations for this album are HIGH. I’m expecting an album bigger than 1989 in her prime, bigger than any album we’ve seen so far. (Spoiler alert: it lives up to the hype) 💯

Here is an episode breakdown along with the time stamps for each song so you can pick and choose the clips you want to hear me talk about.

Welcome back to DBATB podcast, holy crap! Is this real life? 🥹

You’re in for an exciting new season of podcasting and I’m so excited to share the first episode with you. There has never been a better time to be a book girl. We are being gifted with too many screen adaptations to count. The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 is officially OUT and wrapped, but that didn’t stop Jenny Han from announcing a finale MOVIE that’s going to let this era live on as long as possible. My Life with the Walter Boys season two is done and binged. The Off-Campus series by Elle Kennedy is just beginning, so is Every Summer After on Prime Video, so is The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, The People We Meet on Vacation. But wait, there’s more… Taylor Swift is ENGAGED!! She’s releasing a new album!! She’s performing at the Super Bowl Halftime show…? Books coming out, books to be talked about. I mean seriously? How is a girl to keep up with all of this?

So this is a very laid-back episode. No easter eggs, no deep dives, no book talk. Just us, here yapping, talking, regetting to know each other, since it’s been so long. Here is an episode breakdown along with the time stamps so you can pick at choose the clips you want to hear me talk about. Our countdown to Life of a Showgirl starts NOW! 🔐🧡💚💃🎭🎪💎🎩❤️‍🔥

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING: There are mentions and flashbacks throughout of rape and domestic violence, emotional abuse, like some really tough conversations. They are a big part of this book and I will be touching on these topics later in the episode, so please know that before reading this book or listening to this episode.

I think as the years pass, I realize how much of Reputation girlie I am🖤 I wasn’t initially until I went into my Reputation era in real life and then as I went through phases of other eras a little piece of Rep always was still a part of me. When you go through this era you stop caring what other people think and start doing things for you and I think that once you realize that and go through it, you never go back from it. I feel like that’s how I explain Rep as an album for Taylor Swift as well, and that’s also how I’m choosing to explain this book. Full episode breakdown ahead:

First topic of discussion has to be Garrett Graham bc I love my little world of book boyfriends and Garrett certainly made it onto my list🏒Then we get into Hannah and the trauma of her story and what she’s been through, and then we talk about Garrett AND Hannah and their relationship together and how/why I liked them as a couple. Notice I say “liked” not LOVED (I rated this book 3 out of 5 stars). So we’ll talk about it, what I liked, what I disliked. And I actually asked you guys to throw some of your questions at my on instagram so I incorporated some of them into the episode! And lastly, our song featured in today’s episode is from the Reputation album, it is called King of My Heart so I am really excited to talk about the lyrics and the parallels of it in comparison to the Deal by Elle Kennedy.
