Rachel dressed up for this episode and is totally in her "Miami Vice" era. Sam on the other hand NEEDS a vacation. Someone take us to Florida!!! We answer a fun lil' Taylor Swift-themed questionnaire, and boy was it difficult! Send us your answers to the questionnaire too! Our new shit segment brought in some classical music and some chill indie rock vibes. Sam chose the song Florida!!! to discuss this week because he thought they could use an escape from last week's sad song. And what an escape it was! Taylor and Florence both sing about wanting to escape their lives, their pasts, their relationships, etc, and go to a place like Florida, whether that's literal or metaphorical. We all have a Florida we like to escape to and forget about our lives back home. But for Taylor, what really is home anymore?

Happy birthday to The Tortured Poets Department album! To celebrate, we begin this episode with a very fun challenge: Ranking every song off the entire TTPD + Anthology album! Sam felt self-counscious about his choices, Rachel reassured him that his opinions are valid, and together the sibs drank everytime they had the same song in the same spot! Turns out, Rachel and Sam both have the same #1 song. Can you guess which song it is?

Then, the sibs delve into one of Rachel's most favorite Taylor Swift songs of all time. In fact, it's in her top 10! It's about time they tackle this one. But why did Taylor release this song AFTER the Midnights album came out. And was this the final straw for her relationship with Joe Alwyn, or just one fight that would later lead to the end of the relationship? Rachel cries and Sam tries to understand. Just FEEL something, babe!

Even though this is Rachel's birthday episode, Sam finds a way to make it about him. Classic little brother move. How did it take us 112 episodes to finally break down one of our most favorite tracks from folklore? All we know is it was worth the wait. The spirit and lore and TWIST of it all for this song made this one of the more fun episodes we've discussed in a while. Of course, we couldn't just dive into the song right away. We had to spill some Taylor Tea.... Sam insists on going into yet another discussion about Reputation (Taylor's Version). Rachel seems to think TS12 is in the works, but Sam isn't so sure Taylor has enough inspiration to release that album yet. What do you all think? Our new shit brings Bon Iver and Billie Marten into the conversation. Sam is still on his month-long cleanse, so he brings a cocktail idea to pair with this song. Rachel, meanwhile, goes FULL IN. We reveal there's going to be a major twist in this song, but you have to wait until we get there to find out what it is (in the rare event you have no idea already). Rachel finds a way to connect Taylor's songwriting to her relationship with Joe Alwyn. Fine, we'll give it to her. Overall, we had a MARVELOUS time ruining everything this episode and we hope you enjoy!!!
