We Hope You Think of Radio Silence

About this episode

Things have been uneventful on the Taylor front recently, so we’re recapping the bits and pieces of news for you today — Harry Styles’ leaked song (as promised, the song backed by an exceptional photo compilation), Karlie’s TikTok presence, Joe Alwyn’s press tour, Where the Crawdads Sing, Taylor’s return to acting, and Drake’s Instagram — all punctuated by the sound of the freeway and occasional Google Maps directions for an immersive audio experience.

Sidebars this week: our road trip to Martha Stewart’s garage sale, whether Karlie begged Taylor for mercy in a Starbucks, the mystery lyric in “I Think He Knows,” the Sally Rooney oeuvre, the very dark shit surrounding Delia Owens and her family, and our exhausted inability to speculate on when we will get new music.
