Taylor Swift's music has given a voice to millions of people who've found the narrative arcs of their own lives in Swift's endlessly engaging songs. With Swiftory, two Gen X besties - Alicia, from Trashy Divorces, and Melissa, from Love Letters To... - have a whole new take on Taylor's work, exploring the music as it is, but also as the duo sees it best: as a lens into history.
If Taylor's greatest gift is the universality of her experiences, join Alicia and Melissa as they follow those experiences to all the places, personalities, and eras where they lead - and share your takes along the way.

This week, Alicia and Melissa pull on their galoshes and venture out into the weather event that is Sparks Fly. What teen heartthrobs does the song evoke for them, and what does this song have to do with a Jimmy Buffet favorite of Alicia's? Get your rain gear on Swiftorians - the precipitation is already coming down!
