About TAYCATION :



First, this is not a parody of Taylor Swift.

We love her and her music dearly. If there are any mistakes in our recordings they belong to us, all those page turns, missed notes, mumbled words, that is us.



Our album we just finished is called Errors ; starting on June 18, 2023, we recorded 3 hours and 2 minutes of Taylor Swift songs, mostly drawn from her 44 song Eras Tour playlist, so we could be in the right headspace to see her in concert, (Los Angeles, August 4).



We are very much amateur singers and musicians and lean into THAT. If anything, singing and recording her songs has given us a greater belief in just how mad talented Taylor Swift is. We did this for ourselves, mainly to get her music into our DNA by osmosis, but we also did this as a thank you to T.S. for sharing her musical gifts so freely and joyfully.
