Summary
In this episode, we’re reviewing Taylor Swift’s newest album, The Life of a Showgirl. Erin Moon joins us, and together we’re unpacking our feelings on the best, worst, and most phallic songs on the album. Plus, we hand out superlatives like “most likely to be used in a prestige movie” and predict which song we’ll still be scream-singing 20 years from now.
