Female Rage: The Musical
Summary
As soon as Taylor uttered the words “Female Rage: The Musical” after unveiling TTPD on the Eras Tour, Sara and Laura knew what had to be done! Laura, as a hardcore musical theater girlie, walks us through a brief history of musicals before the ladies compare alllllll the Broadway references hidden in The Eras Tour. Turns out, Tay Tay is definitely a musical theater gal!
Sara and Laura also have a hefty conversation critiquing the album variant rollout, as well as their disappointment in the Billie Eilish back and forth, excitement for new Karma easter eggs, and their wishlist of what “Female Rage: The Musical”’s songs would be if it were a real Broadway show! This episode is such a goodie.
