So Long, London
Summary
Are you ready for a painful one?! TTPD’s heartwrenching track five, “So Long, London” is the focus for this episode… and boy, do Sara and Laura have a LOT of feelings about it. Between the song's associations between “How Did It End?” and “You’re Losing Me,” Taylor did lay it all out about why and how her relationship with Joe ended. Did you catch all the clues she left?
P.S. if there are any Gaylor listeners out there, please help your girls out and update us on the current theories! We’re lost!
