Swift and Swigs with Sibs Podcast artwork

This is the podcast where a brother and sister discuss two of their favorite things: Taylor Swift and cocktails! Every episode we'll feature a Taylor Swift song, we each pair it with a cocktail inspired by that song, and then we breakdown every musical mixology moment. At the end of every episode, one of the sibs announces which song they've chosen for the next episode. The cocktails help to fuel the discussion, so make one for yourself and join us!

Episode 071 - Paris

May 09 2024 83 mins

We had LOTS to talk about in this episode, all before we even got to the song of the week! From the Met Gala, to Charlie Puth, to the 1975, to Gracie Abrams, and of course to the Eras Tour setlist which we are predicting will certainly change for the upcoming show in Paris. Speaking of Paris, we LOVE this song! What a welcome love bop during an otherwise down moment of the whole Mi

Excited to add a new album into the list of songs they discuss on this podcast, the sibs are completely captivated by Fresh Out The Slammer and

Apr 24 2024 81 mins

This episode is Part 1 (of 2??? Maybe more??). While we both agree there is still a lot to process about Taylor's brand new album, we still wanted to get together and share our initial thoughts and reactions.

Happy Tortured Poets release day Swiggies! We know our podcast won't be the first thing you listen to today, but come back to us and hear our analysis of Dear Reader when you're ready.

Apr 04 2024 63 mins

Another exciting episode with a special guest! Natalie and Sam's friendship goes way back, but not as far as Natalie's connection to Taylor Swift's "self-titled" album (aka Debut). As an OG Swiftie, Natalie has a lot to share about how Taylor was influential in her adolescence, which brings about an interesting discussion with Sam and Rachel as the three discu

Episode 065 - Renegade

Mar 28 2024 73 mins

This episode marks the first time we've ever discussed a song not found on a Taylor Swift album! Of course, Renegade was still written by Taylor, however it was featured on an album by Big Red Machine in 2021. Naturally, this prompts quite the discussion as it suggests perhaps Taylor wasn't confident in sharing the story of Renegade as her own. We theorize that Renegade is

Episode 064 - Wonderland

Mar 21 2024 63 mins

In today's episode, Rachel and Sam take a wrong turn and fall down a rabbithole of theories behind Taylor's 1989 track Wonderland. The episode starts with Sam bragging about his recent trip abroad but "it has to do with Taylor Swift," he swears! Together, the sibs are still geeking out over Taylor's decision to mash up songs on the Eras tour. Sam chooses an al
