Welcome back to Hot Takes and Deep Dives. This is Jess and I'm so excited to be

welcoming back an old friend Anthony Lario, hey Anthony.

Hey Jess, what's going on girl?

How are you?

You know, my soul is a little bit broken because of the new Taylor Swift album.

You know, I wanted to congratulate you on the release of the Taylor Swift album.

That's what people were doing.

The morning that, because I was like, okay, I'm gonna sleep in.

It was last Thursday morning, I was like, I'm gonna sleep in it was last Thursday morning I was like I'm gonna sleep

and it was the first time I was able to sleep in all week and I woke up at like 10 a.m. to like 50

text messages the people were like oh my god like what do you think are you okay?

And I thought somebody died, like just somebody in general died.

And it was Taylor Swift, which is even worse because that is more mentally draining on my mental health.

And Gime like, what are your, I know you are, you're a huge tellers with Fan, like what are your

immediate like top three feelings? Well I think so many people love this album and I

think it's kind of like the first time that it's like cool to like a

Taylor Swift album for the general public because it's like it's different it's like going

back to her roots pretty much so people are like oh like the old tailor like did come

to the phone and I'm like but this is what she's always kind of been. It's like this is just an album.

I think what's beautiful about it is that she wrote it in isolation.

And I don't think she ever planned on anybody to hear it.

So it was just her.
