Episode 41: Showgirls & Soulmates - Taylor Swift’s New Album Explored

In this episode of Do We Have To?, hosts Sean and Emily Miller explore the dazzling new era of Taylor Swift: The Life of a Showgirl. We kick things off with some 90s nostalgia (because you can’t have a Swift deep dive without a little rewind). Then we play Let’s Get Deep with ByRelatable — drawing a card live and seeing what truths we unearth. Finally, we jump into our main segment: dissecting Taylor’s latest—its commercial triumphs, critical reception, and hidden meanings in her first three tracks: “The Fate of Ophelia,” “Elizabeth Taylor,” and “Opalite.” We wrap up with our Peloton team standings and final reflections on love, art, and storytelling.
