We're back to our clowning as we approach the American Music Awards that Taylor's team has been leaving lots of clues for us to pay attention to. We've also got an (almost) new Reputation Taylor's Version song to react to! But first, Rachel wants to know how Sam's music festival went, so Sam shares the highlights of his time becoming an indie rocker for a weekend. He's also many degrees closer to Taylor Swift after his experience meeting a few iconic musicians! Our New Shit songs had us both excited about the heartfelt moments that musicians choose to share with us in their songwriting. Speaking of heartfelt, Sam chose the song this week and it's an age-old classic story of love. And surprisingly to both of us, the song Timeless contains no drama, no doubt, and no anxiety. It's a bit cheesy at times but overall romantic and special, especially considering Sam received this song at his Eras Tour concert back in July 2023.

Did this episode cause Rachel to cry tears of sadness or tears of joy? Yes.

Sam excitedly got to describe his experience attending a Swiftie Brunch in Denver. It felt like the Eras tour all over again! Then he shares some riveting information he heard regarding the legal aspect of the trademark for "Reputation (Taylor's Version). This completely changes how we feel about the announcement for the upcoming album.

This episode is all about moms! And though we both agree the song discussed is quite cheesey, Rachel makes it clear how special this song is to her. The cocktails were springy, floral, and inspired by our mom. The Gilmore Girls, Jimmy Buffet, and some guy named "Steve" all make an appearance in this cheesey, sentimental, and goofy episode.

Happy Mother's Day!

Rachel dressed up for this episode and is totally in her "Miami Vice" era. Sam on the other hand NEEDS a vacation. Someone take us to Florida!!! We answer a fun lil' Taylor Swift-themed questionnaire, and boy was it difficult! Send us your answers to the questionnaire too! Our new shit segment brought in some classical music and some chill indie rock vibes. Sam chose the song Florida!!! to discuss this week because he thought they could use an escape from last week's sad song. And what an escape it was! Taylor and Florence both sing about wanting to escape their lives, their pasts, their relationships, etc, and go to a place like Florida, whether that's literal or metaphorical. We all have a Florida we like to escape to and forget about our lives back home. But for Taylor, what really is home anymore?
