TAYLOR SWIFT PART 2: FEARLESS (with Stereogum's Tom Breihan)

Stereogum senior editor Tom Breihan returns to Pop Pantheon for the second episode of season one of Pop Pantheon’s epic Taylor Swift super-series. Louie and Tom touch down on Taylor as she lands her first big pop hit, the pop-rock anthem “Love Story.” From there, they tackle Taylor’s graduation from country ingenue to global superstardom with her number one Grammy-winning sophomore album, 2008’s Fearless, and discuss modern pop music history's big bang with Taylor and Kanye West's infamous meeting at the 2009 MTV VMAs.

Join us next week for the conclusion of season one, in which we’ll discuss Taylor’s 2010 album Speak Now.
