Summary
We’re Pink Clouding from the thrill of it (BAH BAH BAAAHHHHH)!! We’re on track 3 of the 4 new Showgirl Encore tracks, and we can hardly believe our Showgirl Era is almost over (again). In personal updates, Sara took a weekend trip to Lake Placid and Laura is dealing with sleep training her son. In Taylor Updates, we chat about her induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, plus her appearance at the screening and Q&A for Toy Story 5. Pink Clouding is such a glitter gel bop and we had a great time chatting about it - let us know if you agree about it being a sister song to Getaway Car, and do you love it as much as Sara does? Also - stay tuned at the end for a side tangent about The Ringer’s ranking of all Taylor’s songs that came out recently.
