Only The Young
Summary
Recorded just over a week after the presidential election, Sara and Laura are in the thick of feeling overwhelmed by disappointment… and figured this was the perfect time to discuss Taylor’s most political song, Only The Young. The ladies’ conversation also touches on mental health, predictions for the upcoming Grammy Awards (particularly regarding Taylor's nominations), and her recent holiday merch drop. If you’re ready to talk politics, aren’t aware of Taylor’s political stances, or are curious how Taylor became an advocate for voting… this one is for you!
