About the Hosts
Brianna
Brianna is a high school English teacher from South Jersey. Her love of Taylor's lyrics border on the unhinged, and her students know this all too well. When she starts talking about Taylor's use of metaphors, they all wish they had a getaway car. Some may say she's a mad woman, but she'll just shake it off. She hopes you have a marvelous time listening to her and her two favorite people ramble on and on about the one and only Dr. Taylor Alison Swift.
Paije
Paije is a music addict from South Jersey who is also a lover of singing, reading, binge-watching shows, and stumbling home to her cats. Years of passionately jamming out to Taylor songs helped inspire her to learn to play guitar in 2022. As a proud Swiftie since the Fearless era, she never ever ever plans to stop obsessing over our American Queen, Taylor Swift. Like ever. So drop everything now and get ready for it!
