Every Single Album

Nathan Hubbard and Nora Princiotti were both longtime fans of Taylor Swift prior to creating Every Single Album.^[2][3][4] Princiotti was in middle school when Swift's 2006 debut album was released, while Hubbard was working in the music industry as the CEO of Ticketmaster.^[5] Early in her journalism career, Princiotti worked at The Boston Globe, primarily covering the New England Patriots and occasionally writing articles about Swift. In 2019, Princiotti was listening to an episode of The Bill Simmons Podcast which featured Hubbard discussing Swift's music. Shortly thereafter, Princiotti left The Globe and began working at Bill Simmons' website, The Ringer. She was then introduced to Hubbard by Simmons after he discovered that they were both swifties. At the time, Hubbard was a contributing writer for The Ringer website, and Princiotti was a staff writer primarily covering the NFL.^[6] The two began discussing Swift's music via text, and later Simmons asked them to create a podcast covering Swift's albums in chronological order as well as the release of Swift's re-recordings.^[7] The first episode was released on March 7, 2021. At the time, Hubbard and Princiotti had never met in person.

After covering Swift's discography to-date, Princiotti and Hubbard briefly covered Olivia Rodrigo, since Swift was a major inspiration for Rodrigo's music. The duo then began covering the discography of Adele, releasing the first Adele episode on November 20, 2021.^[8] In 2022, the podcast covered the discography of the boy band One Direction as well as the solo albums of its members, releasing the first episode on April 1, 2022.
