So High School
Summary
Truth, dare, spin… records? Taylor’s most rom-com-y song to date has Sara and Laura kicking their feet and giggling! The truth is, Taylor has never released a song quite this honestly lovestruck, and the girls are OBSESSED. This episode has Sara and Laura digging into Taylor’s use of high school as a grander metaphor, as well as a deep dive into Taylor’s unconventional high school experience. Travis Kelce / Tayvis fans… you’re going to love this one!
