Guilty As Sin?
Season 2 · Episode 3
mercredi 21 août 2024 • Duration 01:39:40
Summary
Is there really “no such thing as bad thoughts”?! Laura and Sara have strong opinions on Taylor’s most explicit song “Guilty As Sin?” from The Tortured Poets Department. Before going into a song breakdown, the ladies have a ton of Taylor updates to share, including some devastating changes to lyrics, Vienna’s cancellation, and more. “Guilty as Sin?” certainly had the two gals clutching their pearls, especially after unpacking the very innnnteresting timing of Matty and Taylor’s collaboration during “Midnights.” Could this be where the song’s inspiration came from? Buckle in.
