  • Creating The Third Folkmore Sister Album

    Creating The Third Folkmore Sister Album
    Jan 9 2025
    GET TICKETS TO EOAS LIVE IN 2025: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com Imagine a world where we had a darker, angstier, spookier third child instead of two sister albums...a changeling if you will. That is today's exercise in magical thinking: we, The Snakes, have put our heads together and decided to imagine a world in which there is a triplet. We masterminded our ideal third album by choosing from Taylor Swift's existing discography (excluding all of folklore and evermore, but of course). Creating a narrative, honing the tracklist, and even designing Pinterest boards for the album art and overall vibe of the project. Here's what we came up with.

    ☎️ Phone a Snake: Reacting to YOUR Humiliating Swiftie Moments
    Jan 2 2025
    GET TICKETS TO EOAS LIVE IN 2025: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com Welcome back to Phone a Snake! This week, we’re diving into the lighter (and sometimes more mortifying) side of being a Swiftie. We asked for your most embarrassing fan moments, and you didn’t hold back. From concert mishaps to social media blunders, we unpack the true horror that often comes with loving Taylor Swift a little too much. Along the way, we explore how fandom culture has evolved, the impact of social media on Swifties, and our moments of secondhand (and firsthand) embarrassment. Today’s kiki was a friendly reminder that being a fan is messy, humiliating, funny, and WORTH IT.

  • The Best Albums Of 2024 (Not By Taylor Swift)

    The Best Albums Of 2024 (Not By Taylor Swift)
    Dec 19 2024
    GET TICKETS TO EVOLUTION OF A SNAKE LIVE IN 2025: https://evolutionofasnake.com/ In today's episode, The Snakes expand their swiftie palette to wax poetic about the albums of 2024 that rocked the world, NOT authored by Taylor Swift. This year has been stacked in terms of splashy, attention-grabbing releases. A few of these iconic moments are revisited, but there are also detours into less popular waters...albums you may not have encountered as a swiftie if you weren't a listener of Evolution of a Snake, perhaps. On the agenda: Mitski, Cece Natalie, Sunday (1994), Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, Flo, and more.

    Billboard’s Top 25 Pop Stars…Whatever That Means!
    Dec 9 2024
    GET TICKETS TO EOAS LIVE IN THE USA 2025: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com The Snakes venture into familiar but undesirable territory in today's episode: the Billboard slums. We’re here today, to examine some claims they’ve made about who is (or isn’t) in the Great 21st Century Pop Star Canon with our encyclopedic knowledge of Taylor Swift and our…many opinions on everything else. Should Taylor have gotten that #1 spot? Were there any egregious misses in the honorable mentions category? Should Justin Timberlake have rights? All this and more.

    Nov 28 2024

    Nov 21 2024
    Welcome back to Phone a Snake. This week, we asked you to call in with your strangest and most outlandish takes on the 2025 Grammy nominations. And boy, y’all delivered! Up top is some discussion about the nature of the Grammy’s itself: how this year is different from others in terms of the stiff competition, Taylor Swift’s likely appearance (what she’ll wear/perform/win), how we would like to see the Grammy process change, and the need for artist’s to get their ass up and promote their work these days!

  • Reviewing The 2025 Grammy Nominations: This Year’s For The Girls

    Reviewing The 2025 Grammy Nominations: This Year’s For The Girls
    Nov 11 2024
    In today’s episode, The Snakes critically analyze the 2025 Grammy contenders. It’s been an incredible year of music, particularly for our muse, Taylor Swift, and all of our other favorite pop girls as well. Here, the devil’s advocate is played: each nominee for Album of the Year is presented with their greatest strengths and mortal weaknesses, seeking an objective assessment of who the front runners in this category are. The other ‘big four’ nominations & pop categories are deconstructed elsewhere. One thing is for sure: this year is stacked. From Chappell and Sabrina to Charli, Beyonce, Billie Eilish, and the HBIC, it’s sure to be a night to remember.
