Celebrating 20 Years of Taylor Swift by Analyzing The Themes of Her Debut Album

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of her debut album (and her induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame), we're going back to where it all began. Join Hannah and Exquisite as they revisit Taylor Swift and trace the seeds of so many themes that would become central to her songwriting: feeling like an outsider, the power of memory, unrequited love, imagined relationships, and the need to turn every feeling into a song. From "The Outside" to "Our Song," "Tim McGraw," and "Cold As You," we explore just how much of the Taylor we know today was already there from the very beginning.
