I Look In People’s Windows (& Introducing Our Patreon!)
Summary
It’s another Taylor “Christmas” song that will wreck you… today Laura & Sara are doing a deep dive on “I Look In People’s Windows.” Even though it’s Taylor’s shortest song to date, ILIPW has MANY Easter Eggs hidden inside its devastating lyrics (including one that relates to “Champagne Problems” that has the girls hooked!). It’s also a big day because the ladies announce the launch of their Patreon - where YOU can support the podcast and get monthly bonus content! Hear a sneak preview at the end of this episode.
