Sam and Rachel open the episode with the sports highlights of Taylor’s first Superbowl win. They go back and forth asking themselves “why” or more like “how did this happen?” But alas they realize they should’ve just stuck to music, like analyzing their next track from Taylor’s debut album about making choices: “Should’ve Said No.” After cringing a bit over some of the lyrics and stage performance choices, they make interesting connections between this song and the folklore era. Is Taylor Betty singing to James? Let us know what you think!
