State of Swift: A Taylor Swift Podcast

It’s the most wonderstruck time of the year, so why not give yourself the gift of Swift? Join Gwen (an elf), Dillon (Santa Claus), and Trevor (the Grinch) as they unwrap Sounds of the Season: The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection — and don’t forget to bring a cake for the birthday boy!

They said “speak now” so that’s what we did — for nearly three hours, about crashing weddings, dating werewolves, sociopaths who prey on women 12 years their junior, eternal struggles between cosmic forces, and most importantly, Taylor Swift’s landmark third album. Drop everything now, this is one party you’re definitely going to want to crash.

You take a deep breath and you upload your file; it’s the eve of your very second episode. Gwen, Dillon and Trevor are back, and this time they’re utterly Fearless. They had The Best Day babbling about Taylor’s sophomore album until they could hardly Breathe. Eventually the Love Story had to end, but they wish it could have lasted Forever & Always. Tell us how you think Taylor Nation will disappoint you next and we’ll write it on a flower and hang it on the wall.

Gwen is a teenage girl obsessed with Taylor Swift. Dillon and Trevor are two grown-ass adults morbidly fascinated by the pop star’s following of acolytes and the life of an average Swiftie. Put the three together and you’ve got a podcast about country music wunderkinds, middle school crushes who made some bad choices, lying to a celebrity’s mom, and a fan community perpetually prepared to tear itself apart. This is the State of Swift.
