Watching the Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun Documentary So You Don’t Have To: Podcast
Good for a Weekend hosts MK and Kressie always have your back, that much you can count on. That's why they've sacrificed their sanity to watch the Max documentary Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood -- all so you don't have to. Listen to their review. Split into two episodes, one covering "Taylor's version" and one covering "Scooter's version," the doc mini-series' portrayal of the conflict sadly brings nothing new to the table. Overall, if MK and Kressie had to sum up Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood in one word, it'd easily be "cringe!" Listen to the two summarize and react to Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood above. If you do dare to watch Bad Blood for yourself, at least make it a value proposition by signing up for the Max/Hulu/Disney+ bundle , which can save you up to 38% compared to purchasing the services separately.

Karlie Kloss, No It’s Ashley, Jack’s Wedding, and the Eras Tour (August Swift Report)
August slipped away like a bottle of wine... welcome to the August Swift Report. Karlie Kloss showed up to the Eras Tour, and unlike Adam Sandler, was not invited to the VIP tent. No It's Ashley has stirred up controversy, again, by hiring body guards and walking around in public cosplaying as Taylor for a "prank" that's also a "social experiment." Taylor gave bonuses totaling $55 million to those working the Eras Tour! Swifties potentially ruined Jack Antonoff's rehearsal dinner and wedding. Yuck.

We finally watched Cats! The 2019 film stars Taylor Swift along with Francesca Hayward, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Rebel Wilson, Jason Derulo, Judi Dench, and James Corden.

The Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Episode
We talk about the friendship of our dreams: Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Taylor Swift. Did you know people actually thought Blake SHADED Taylor before they were friends? It didn't take long to set the record straight with Blake and Taylor's day off in Australia during the 1989 World Tour, birthday pies, romantic getaways with Ryan and Joe Alwyn, and of course, Taylor's infamous 4th of July parties. Following Blake's introduction of Ryan to Taylor, Ryan has appeared in Taylor's "You Need to Calm Down" music video, lent Taylor his Deadpool costume for Halloween, and even wore a shirt with Olivia and Meredith's face on it in his movie. We discuss everything about Taylor, Blake, and Ryan's early friendship all the way to the folklore album trilogy that announced Blake and Ryan's third child's name. We introduce a new segment, Nightmare and Daydreams, at the end of the episode--which is sort of like our red light/green light or highs/lows, but with a fun Taylor twist!

Taylor Swift Stan Drama: Fady
Big ol' trigger warnings for suicide, cyber-bullying, unsolicited dick pics, possible kidnapping… This content is not suitable for all audiences; viewer discretion is advised. To kick off our new series, Taylor Swift Stan Drama, we're starting things off with one of the most iconic moments that's ever happened on Stan Twitter: Fady. Last summer, before Folklore was released, a well-known Taylor Swift fan account on Twitter disappeared. It was first reported that he had taken his own life, then later, he was kidnapped. What really happened? In this episode, Kressie utilizes her $30,000+ of debt for an English Literature and Communications degree to research what happened on this monumental week of Stan Twitter history, and attempts to relay her findings to Ali. Things get messy. Let's dive in! This is all Twitter fandom drama, so take it with a grain of salt--everything in this story is alleged, as repeatedly said in the episode. Remember, people on the internet lie. There is no such thing as a reliable source in this story, so come to your own conclusions. Tell us what Taylor Swift fandom drama you'd like to hear next!

Tangents include Joe Jonas asking out a thirteen-year-old Gigi Hadid, what we would do if we were ever invited, and the logistics of it all--how much security was there?

If you love the songs The Last Great American Dynasty and Marjorie, this is the episode for you.

The Evermore Episode (Part 1)
We discuss the first three tracks of Taylor Swift's eighth album, Evermore -- Willow, Champagne Problems, and Gold Rush. We question the "90s trend" lyric in Willow, unpack Champagne Problems line-by-line and freak out over its mental health layers along with the double meaning of the King Midas reference, and praise Jack Antonoff for creating another quintessentially-Jack song, Gold Rush -- a song that may be from Joe's POV. Expect the following Evermore episode next Thursday.

My Biggest Life’s Regret (I Did Something Kressie)

That means no speculating about her sex life, in any way. Please follow this rule out of respect for Taylor. Don’t call out certain Swifties.

The Grammys, The Long Pond Sessions, and Folklore Revisited
TLDR: We discuss the announcement of our autographed Folklore CD and merch of your choice giveaway, reminder of Swiftie Confessions, 2021 Grammy nominations, Taylor's new documentary Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, Folklore revisited, and our wild new theories. Oh boy… did we have a lot to cover in this episode! There was no way we could ignore the Grammys, Taylor Swift's six nominations, and The Weeknd's majorly controversial snub. After ranting about how trash the Grammy voting committee is, the sheer disrespect to what we consider Taylor's biggest competition for the award show, Justin Bieber's pure ignorance and entitlement (read the room, Justin!), and our winner predictions -- we discuss the next huge drop in the Taylor Swift community, her new documentary Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions on Disney+! Where does she find the time? We talk about the biggest revelations we learned from the movie (looking at you, "Mirrorball"), one of the host's newfound... appreciation... for Jack Antonoff, and how the documentary overall changed how we feel about the album. We end this episode with an abridged, heavily edited down previously recorded episode where we revisit Folklore and the opinions you shared with us. Of course, this was recorded before her new documentary (a head's up would've been nice, Taylor!), so we cut it down to just the important stuff, like Kressie's new theory about "The 1," and Ali's realization of how Karlie Kloss could come into play. We wouldn't be a true Taylor Swift podcast if we didn't have at least a few episodes that become irrelevant days after recording! About the Giveaway To enter, write us an Apple Podcasts review and send a screenshot of it to gfaweekend@gmail.com by December 31, 2020. You may also submit your Swiftie Confession in your email. The winner will receive an autographed Folklore CD as well as t-shirt of their choice from Taylor's Folklore merch available on www.taylorswift.com. The winner will be announced in our 2021 kickoff episode. About Swiftie Confessions What’s on your mind, Taylor Swift fans? What are your unpopular opinions? What’s your favorite Taylor moment?

The Rise and Fall of the Squad
We're back, baby! Beginning around Taylor Swift's 1989 era, we see more and more of the highly publicized (and criticized) "Squad." What is "The Squad" -- and does it still exist? We answer these questions and give a history of Taylor's friendships over the years and where they stand today, in all its shade and glory. We discuss Taylor's introspective look at The Squad in her "30 Things I Learned Before Turning 30" essay for Elle, who all got a cardigan, Lorde's tricky relationship with interviews, inner-squad conflict, who helped Taylor release her inner feminist, and SO much more. We close with who we think is in and out of Taylor's friendship circle today, new and familiar names. Zendaya, why the shady tweet likes?!

The Thirteen Episode
We all know Taylor Swift has a bit of an affinity towards the number 13... but are all these moments tied to the number 13 coincidences, or Tayvoodoo at it again? We explain Taylor's history with the number, how it became her Lucky 13, and some of Taylor's best (and surprising!) moments that somehow include the number. We also talk about Taylor's visit to Auburn University, our newfound appreciation for Harry Styles, and end the episode with a new segment of Gamer Girlz. Kressie gives a disclaimer at the beginning of the episode to apologize for the strange clicking sounds, but shares some excellent news to make up for it. We're doing a giveaway, y'all!

Tayvoodoo
Kressie tries to explain what "Tayvoodoo" is to Ali. Tayvoodoo, a newer term used in stan culture, is an unseen, powerful force that appears to come after those who have wronged Taylor Swift, proving to us all that Taylor Swift invented karma. We also talk about the two Swifties who have allegedly been arrested, the lengths Taylor fans will go to for chart placements (hexes, feet pics, and fraud?), and those who we think have received the power of Tayvoodoo, for better or for worse.

This is about Joe Alwyn and who he is, using information consensually given in interviews from the couple. We even watched his movies to prepare! Listen to hear how his career got started in the most magical way that most actors only dream of, his biggest roles so far, times we've seen the couple support each other, and lyrics we think are about him.
