Episode 179 -\\xa0Bring on all the pretenders, we\\u2019re not afraid.\\xa0In Episode 179 of Taylor Talk: The Taylor Swift Podcast, we\\u2019re joined by our good friend, Agustin from\\xa0theswiftagency.com, to discuss \\u201cLong Live,\\u201d one of Taylor Swift\\u2019s most powerful anthems. This song is both a celebration for her team and her fans. Our throwback to the Speak Now era comes at a perfect time too, because although Taylor is now a self-proclaimed pop artist, country music organizations, like the ACMs, keep honoring her with awards! It just goes to show that Taylor Swift left a strong legacy behind her in country music and will undoubtedly do the same for pop music. What do you think of \\u201cLong Live\\u201d? Would you put it on a greatest hits album for Taylor Swift? Feel free to share your thoughts. Enjoy the episode!
