We knew we couldn't escape it, so we didn't bother to try. In this episode, Tava, Brett, and Alex board the T-Swift train and dive deep into song lyrics, with a focus on Taylor Swift in honor of her new album. But don't fret, there is plenty for the anti-Swiftie as well, including a conversation about concerts, other artists, and a recurring gag where Tava and Alex won't stop clearing their throats.
