We start this episode by sharing our Halloween plans and costumes. Taylor Swift themed costume ideas, anyone?? Rachel's new shit is one of her all-time favorites: Brandi Carlisle! And Sam is trying to dig deep into new/upcoming artists flying under the radar. Pop boy fall maybe?
As for the song of the week, it was only fitting to follow up last week's "Father Figure" discussion with the original song that shed light on how Taylor felt about the selling of her masters behind her back. The cocktails we paired to "my tears ricochet" have themes of darkness, storminess, and the concept of lullabies.
When discussing the song, we question whether this song is more sad or paingful or angry. And how Taylor's emotions evolve throughout the building of the song. The concept of her "tears" ricocheting had us thinking deep about the power behind Taylor's words. This song is so important in the canon of Taylor's worth as an artist and as a human being in general. Too good!
