Is "The Bolter" another classic case of Taylor Swift adapting a story to her own life? The song is rumored to be inspired by a "scandalous" English aristocrat from the early 1900s, which wouldn't be the first time that Taylor takes a story and makes it her own!  Lacey, Amy, Ana, and Nick discuss the lyrics, connections, references, history, theories, and more!  This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Betrayal, closure, maturity... all things that Taylor Swift explores in the song "Peter", a fan-favorite from THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT.  "Peter" is not only a take on the classic Peter Pan, but also a twist of a story we've heard in Taylor Swift's discography before... Nick, Ana, Amy, and Lacey explore the lyrics, symbolism, call-backs, fairy tales, and plot-twists found in this poetic track!  There are lots of ways to reach us, including our exclusive Lobster Lounge!
