Going Through My Husband's Playlists
I am the supreme overlord of what music gets played in this household and when...but my husband DOES have his own playlists and he does on occasion listen to his own music.

Spotify's Top 100 Greatest Songs of the Streaming Era
The streaming era of music is still unfolding before our very eyes, but one thing is beyond for certain - streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music have changed the way we engage with, enjoy, and find music. Streaming has opened up the entire world (or at least, those with a spare 11.99 to spend a month) to the whole confection of music, all the way from the 1940's to today. There's plenty g
Panic! At The Ship of Theseus
Once upon a time in a land not so dissimilar to our own, there was a band that made all the wrong choices at all the right times...this is a story about the 2000's, the scene, the girls who loved it, and the men who hated it. Panic! At The Disco was a group of teenaged boys who wound up thrust into the center of a brand new genre and a brand new scene that was only just beginning to take shape, an
Revisiting Taylor Swift's Iconic 2014 Rolling Stone Interview
In 2014, Taylor was reinventing herself - new hair, new city, new midriff, new genre. The Rolling Stone interview that came out just a month before her record-breaking release of 1989 was our first real peek as fans into what this era truly held in store for us, and revisiting this article now 12 years later is like a time capsule to what I never ever would have imagined in a million years would b

The Top 10 Most Formative Pop Culture Moments of My Life : Part One
What do Paris Hilton going to jail, Beyonce surprise releasing her self titled record in 2013, and the Jonas Brothers' purity rings all have in common...?

The Lizard's 2026 Grammy's Predictions
The 2026 Grammy's are almost right on top of us, and as such, it's time to do one of my most favorite things in the entire world....BE WRONG FOR AN HOUR!!! 🎉 Although my predictions usually don't come to pass (2025 notwithstanding - I had an oddly good sense of who would win last year but that is NOT the norm) it's still fun to go through all the nominees one more time before the big show and put
Freeing Myself From the Shackles of Hate : The Gracie Abrams Files
Gracie Abrams is one of the most famous gen z artists in music, and her biggest claim to fame is that she's a songwriter following in the footsteps of Taylor Swift. She's had multiple top ten songs, is dating a very famous actor, and is lucky enough to call her a friend of Taylor Swift. But you don't get to one million friends without making a few enemies, and well....let's just say EYE used to be

The Lizard's Top 32 Songs of 2025
If I had to sum up the year in music of 2025 in one word I would call it : DYNAMIC!!

My Very Own Made Up Taylor Swift Christmas Album
It's been nearly 20 years since the last time Taylor Swift released a Christmas project - it was called the Sounds of the Season, and while it's a beloved and nostalgic piece of Christmas lore to me now, we DESPERATELY need something newer and, frankly....BETTER!!!!!

My Favorite Songs from My Least Favorite Era of Music
In determining your taste in music, what you HATE is almost as important as what you LOVE...after many many years of considering it, I've finally decided what my least favorite era in the history of music is - we talk about WHAT I hate about it, what artists were the biggest offenders, and also, what I didn't hate about it, and which songs and artists made the era bearable.

2026 Grammy's Nominations : Tater Tots Strike Back
This year's Grammy's is a STARK contrast to last year's Pop Girl Summit. The nominees this year, particularly in the Big Four, are far more dynamic and representative of music from all across the board. Who got snubbed, who got what they deserved, and WHO were the jumpscares that we never predicted being nominated...? Here's my reaction to all of the nominees in the major categories. This is a pu

A Ranking of The Lizard's Favorite Pop Records (sort of)
In honor of there being a very huge pop record coming out in the next couple of weeks (I wonder to what I refer...)

Going to the South with Hayley Williams
When a song is just soooo good you have to LIB OUT!!!!!!! Hayley Williams surprise released a 17-song confection with no official title on her website - it was completely contextless, and we all dove into the tracks not knowing quite what to expect : one of the absolute best ways to engage with new projects. The songs are full of twists and turns, different spheres of influence, multiple complexit
The Lizard's Ultimate Showgirl Primer Guide
Many might say that a "showgirl" is a very specific thing, and that you can't just walk around calling any celebrity you feel like a "showgirl..." here on The Lizard Review, I DO EXACTLY THAT!!!!!! In preparation for Taylor's new album The Life of a Showgirl, come with me on this mega episode as I talk about what exactly a showgirl is (or isn't) in my eyes, which albums and artists are the perfect
You Look Like A Showgirl In This Light
One of the most compelling songs on the Tortured Poets Department happened to be the final song - a tale of women in history who have risen to prominence and fame and have experienced all of the wonderful and terrible things that go along with them. Clara Bow was an interesting enough song as its own, but with the reveal of The Life of a Showgirl being the next album, like Carrie Bradshaw I just s
2025 VMA's Nominations and an Impassioned Plea for the Lawn Mowing To Stop
Will this year's MTV Video Music Awards be, as the kids say, a "flop summit"? Following a lukewarm eight months of music for 2024, one could say it wouldn't necessarily be surprising...breakdown all of the nominees for this year's award show with me, including some Taylor Swift ts12 predicting (of course) and some ranting and raving about how excessive lawn mowing is ruining the earth. THANK YOU!
The Lizard's Favorite Taylor Swift Songs
One of the most important rituals of any stan is the process of "ranking" things. Anything and everything. Outifts, albums, lead singles, cats, romantic partners, and, of course, songs. Judging by the title of the episode you may be thinking you are about to experience yet another one such ranking - from the top at number one, all the way to the bottom. Sadly, this is not the case. Consider this m
Why Artists Start Making Bad Music
A question that haunts every single person about at least one band or artist that they used to love : what happened? In the longest episode of The Lizard Review yet, I go through four different examples of four VERY different artists who all have only one thing in common - they once were considered great artists, and now no longer are. Some of them become cheesy, some of them sell out, some of the
The Lizard's Essential Albums : The One That Takes Me on a Holiday Away From Reality
The latest in my series about the albums that made me into who I am - this is about an album that made me feel very far away from wherever I didn't want to be when I was a kid. It's an album that made me dream of beaches and oceans and piers and highways along the coast that I had never been to before, an album that made me feel like life was sunnier than it seemed, and most importantly, an album
It's New, The Declaration of Independence. It's Blue, Some of the Stripes on the Flag.
The 4th of July is many things...the most important is that it's a celebration of the day I got married, but the SECOND most important thing is that it's a celebration of the start of summertime. And what more perfect way to kick off summer than doing a lyrical analysis of Taylor Swift's best summer song - Cruel Summer. This is a public episode.

Music Catchup : Is Sabrina Carpenter Singlehandedly Dismantling Modern Feminism?!?!!?
A lot of people seem to seriously, seriously think so. In this episode, I go into a biigggg discussion on why people feel that way, her newest song and album cover, and whether or not there's ANY credence to this claim whatsoever. PLUS : we get into Pitchfork's MISERABLY negative review of Benson Boone's newest album American Heart, and discuss a little bit of Addison Rae and a little bit of Jense
I'm Guilty As Sin and Fresh Out The Slammer In Your Silver Ford With Stained Glass Windows
Is love truly the only thing that can save us in the end? That is the question posed by the four songs we're comparing and contrasting today in this lyrical analysis - Guilty as Sin and Fresh Out The Slammer by Taylor Swift, and Stained Glass Window and Silver Ford by Sunday (1994.) What do these songs have in common? What does Taylor have in common with the band? How does their songwriting differ
I Met Sunday (1994) And Drank Their Last Coors Light
On a fateful autumn day this last September I encountered a brand new band who had only yet released a nine song EP. They were mysterious, different, talented, and had some of the most specific and interesting branding I've seen from any other bands I've discovered so far this decade. That nine song EP quickly jumped up to one of my most played albums of the year, so naturally when they went on to
My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Analyses
One of the most underrated and overlooked songs on Tortured Poets may actually be one that has the most to mine....a simple and admittedly childish metaphor is actually far more than it seems once you really start digging into the depths of this song and what it represents in the narrative of the album. Celebrate ONE YEAR of Tortured Poets on The Lizard Review by analyzing one of my favorite songs
The Lizard's Top 15 Y2K Songs
One of my all time favorite time periods of music had it all...the best boy bands and girl bands in history, some of the most iconic female pop stars of all time, iconic producers, and legendary iconography. It ALSO had misogyny, villainous men topping the charts, and beloved female pop stars punching one another backstage at the VMA's. Nonetheless, I love y2k, flaws and all, and I decided to (att
Happiness vs Happiness
Happiness is a butterfly...or is happiness a sunset? There will be happiness after you...or will it always escape from my hands into moonlight? Two different schools of thought on the same concept are presented by two of the most established and prolific female songwriters in the world - Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift. On the one hand, Taylor Swift writes a full narrative of the five stages of grie
Severance and Sandwich
Many of you are aware of my ritual of watching the new episode of Severance every Friday while eating a sandwich...nothing has ever been more important to me in the history of the world...and now that season two has officially concluded, there was no new Severance and no sandwich to be had...so I decided to bring Severance and Sandwich to the Lizard Review for a little bit of a kiki on my personal

The Only Exception is Mine
Happy Valentine's Day! In honor of the magnificence of this holiday, I did a bit of a sister song lyrical analysis of TWO songs that I believe fully encapsulate the spirit of the day and that I also believe are intrinsically and inextricably linked together and have been since the dawn of time - one Paramore song, one Taylor Swift song! I also start the episode off by detailing a truly demented dr

The Lizard's Essential Albums : The One That Changed A Genre Forever
This was an album about growing up, about moving away, about changing from a girl into a woman, about navigating the world while being unsure of how (or even if) you fit into it. It was also an album that shook the foundations of pop so much that it launched the careers of dozens of other girls after it, that pissed men off, that confused critics, and that changed the way I would look at music for

Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus : REVISITED
On the walls of long forgotten about structures buried deep beneath the sands of time, there is an old fable etched in a language that no one speaks anymore. It is a tale of love lost, of infatuation, of meeting the wrong person at the wrong time, and of heartbreak. It is a tale that spans decades, that spans eras, that spans across timelines, that spans across lovers and outfits and rules....it i

A Tortured Poet is the Muse
What do Taylor Swift and Halsey have in common...? Well, they're both writers, they're both creatives...and they both dated the exact same TORTURED POET and lived to write about it, and in doing so have given us an interesting codex of songs to compare and contrast. In this episode, I pull apart Halsey's Lonely Is The Muse from her latest record The Great Impersonator, and reflect on what it means

Halsey Impersonates Monstro Elisasue For Her Album The Great Impersonator
