Disclaimer: we recorded at 5:30 EST on 8/26 and more details were still developing, so if we don't touch on things (like Ed Kelce talking about the engagement) it's because we couldn't control ourselves/recorded too early and didn't hear about it yet :)

They also chat about Steph's wedding and new podcast studio, and Steph also has some interesting streaming facts about Taylor's most streamed songs.

TIME STAMPS:

Taylor Swift has done it! She's bought back her masters, and all artistic materials, for her original six albums. Truly the BEST news and the only topic this episode! We do start with some AMA's theories and go on plenty of tangents along the way, but this episode is all about the MASTERmind (see what I did there) of Taylor Swift! We're SO proud of her and happy for her!! Happy Taylor Swift Independence Day!
