Taylor Swift: The Sustainability Anti-Hero, but can she Shake It Off?

As part of our 'Student Take Over Season', editors Sophie Green and Lily Killner were insistent we should have an episode 'in defence of Taylor Swift' after she was criticised for her environmental impact in our 'Tax Taylor Swift' episode in Season 2.  

So, here it is, released on the day that Sophie finally got to see her idol at Wembley Stadium!  We discuss private jets, female empowerment, the cultural significance of her music, the footprint of concerts, fan travel, and most importantly of all for many, just how important her music is for the well-being of millions of people across the globe.

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it!
