We’re sticking in the Evelyn Hugo universe for one last episode to talk about the brilliant, tortured, kindhearted Harry Cameron — and also the brilliant, tortured, kindhearted Harry Styles. We cover a lot of ground in this episode: the history of celebrity bearding, Evelyn and Harry’s relationship, Taylor and Harry’s relationship, literary and lyrical analysis, the utility of identity politics, chosen families, the snowmobile (??) accident (??), whether we’ll ever get a sit-down deep dive debrief from Taylor herself, and prioritizing platonic love. Without further ado, LET’S GET INTO IT.
Sidebars this week: the giant birdcage in Taylor’s Nashville house, Hannah mixing up Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne (SORRY), the “I want to be famous” Vine, Chely Wright, Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield, the 2016 election’s ripple effect into Taylor’s personal life, the L Word, and Karlie Kloss’s Instagram. Please let us know if you have insight on the etymology of the term bearding!!!
