Honey
Summary
Sara and Laura are obsessed with today’s sweetie pie song, “Honey,” from The Life Of A Showgirl. After sharing some maternity leave updates for the podcast (and Sara’s new obsession with Wuthering Heights!), the gals get into a short, sweet, and straightforward analysis of the song. Could this be the most Lover-coded song in Taylor’s recent discography? This uncomplicated, confident track has the girls giggling and kicking their feet… especially knowing that Taylor’s renewed sense of understanding love is so clear!
