Katie and Madyson start off the episode by revisiting their values as Gaylors and as The Archers (this episode was recorded before the release of Lavender Haze & the rest of the track list). Then, they discuss the hairpin drop of the week: niceboyed and the Queer essay that Taylor could be linking herself to. Before getting into their analysis of Taylor’s Track Fives, they quickly share their eagerness for Karma and the rest of the Midnights album. Taylor’s Track Fives include Cold As You, White Horse, Dear John, All Too Well, All You Had To Do Was Stay, Delicate, My Tears Ricochet, Tolerate It, and now You’re On Your Own, Kid… They unpack the invisible thread of themes of anxiety and battles, and ponder what the newest Track Five will be about.
