Armlyricology: Decoding the Speak Now Tour's Hidden Messages
GET TICKETS TO EOAS LIVE: https://www.evolutionofasnake.comThis week, we’re peeling back the Sharpie-stained layers of Speak Now Taylor, decoding the hidden messages of her emotional state, and tracking the timeline of her writing Red. The Speak Now Tour wasn’t just a showcase of ringlet curls and sparkly gowns—it was a live journal entry written in Sharpie on her arm, night after night. And girls, she was going through it.From post-Gyllenhaal devastation to delusional fairytale princess syndrome, the Arm Lyrics tell the real story of this era: Jagged Little Pill psychosis in Omaha, hopeless romantic breakdowns in Pittsburgh, Joni Mitchell existentialism in Perth. This insanity was brewing for years. We love to see it!

2025 GRAMMYs Review: Please Be Seated For The Diva Parade
GET TICKETS TO THE SNERAS TOUR: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com Today's episode contains the Snake Nation's favorite cosmic occurrence: supreme diva behavior. From Chappell Roan, to Doechii, Sabrina Carpenter, Beyonce, Shakira, and Charli XCXThis year, the Grammy Awards were strangely action-packed and mostly heartwarming. We review and applaud our top divas of the evening, lament the awards we felt were misplaced (few!), and celebrate the unlikely and very likely wins. Plus, as always, there is some Taylor Talk. We will need a national moment of silence for the servitude of That Look. And nothing for the men whatsoever. Enjoy!

Will we blindly click “vote” when we see Beyoncé?
