Summary

In this episode of Evolution of a Snake, THE Taylor Swift Podcast, we do our best to rank the muses in Taylor Swift's catalog objectively. Though there is a subjective 'hotness' category, we strive to view these purses for their contributions to the discography and lore, and also by their impact on Taylor's relationship to love (as written through her songs) going forward.

0:00.0	Being a marketer is no sweat. You just have to manage dozens of channels, launch hundreds of campaigns, score thousands of leads and...
0:06.0	Okay, fine. It's a lot of sweat. Unless you have HubSpot's AI-powered marketing tools to help you do all that and more. Get started at HubSpot.com slash marketers.
0:15.0	Despite my incredible advertising voice, it doesn't sell B2B. And advertising on the wrong platform doesn't sell B2B either.
0:22.5	That's why if you're a B2B marketer, you should use LinkedIn ads. With LinkedIn ads,
0:27.2	you'll be able to target over 130 million decision makers all in one place. No incredible advertising
0:33.0	voice required. Get started today and see why LinkedIn is the place to be to be. We'll even give you
0:38.9	£100 off your first campaign. Go to LinkedIn.com slash lead to claim your credit. Terms and
0:44.3	conditions apply. Welcome back to the evolution of a snake. I'm Zach. And I'm Madeline. And today we are going to be scientifically ranking Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriends. Now, this is something that we have both done separately,
1:11.5	but not together. I've done it on the Swiftologist's YouTube channel, but that was pre-Jover.
1:15.6	So Joe Allen did not make the cut of X's to be ranked. I think it's important to mention that we're
1:21.8	not going to be talking about Travis Kelsey in this ranking because he is a current member of
1:26.7	the Taylor Swift Boyfriend Club, so he doesn't
1:29.0	count as an ex, of course. And Madeline, do you want to explain our general philosophy towards
1:34.7	Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriends? Well, we call them purses. We call them purses. They're simply
1:42.6	accessories to the diva. We are not, neither of us are people who get deeply invested in the boyfriends, in the relationships. We have never, I think probably the most invested I ever was is when I was a twilighter and she dated Taylor Linder.
1:57.9	Oh, that was my life. That was my life. I was everything to me. In my defense, I was 16 years old.
2:02.2	So, yeah, I was obsessed.
2:04.2	But other than that, other than that, we keep it very, very, I would argue that we're rational.
2:11.1	I would argue that we're logical.
2:13.1	I would argue that we consider them to be nothing more than fodder for the genius.
