This or That: Taylor Swift Songs
00:01:51
Speaker

00:01:59
Speaker
Revenge songs. Would you rather listen to Look What You Made Me Do from the Reputation album or Vigilante shit from Midnight's? Those are both really good songs, but I think Look What You Made Me Do.
00:02:17
Speaker
I mean, it's classic. Like, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now? i mean... Yeah. I think some people might say that was like overplayed because I really don't hear vigilante shit yeah on the radio and stuff. I think Look What You Made Me Do has been around longer. So and it's one of those songs.
00:02:35
Speaker
Yeah, I don't get sick of that song. Breakup songs. Would you rather listen to I Can Do It With A Broken Heart from the Tortured Poets Department or We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together from the Red Elm?
00:02:50
Speaker
Love them both. I think I, maybe there's just a soft spot in my heart for the Red album. I think I'd have to go with We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Okay. i How about I would do the same.
00:03:02
Speaker
Yeah. yeah it Okay. Hunger Games soundtrack

00:11:03
Speaker
Do you like, um, I Can Fix Them, No Really I Can, because i that was my instant favorite. That was your favorite. I remember that. Yeah, because we were on a little road trip when that came out, and we listened to like all of them 24-7 because it was on that XM radio. but yeah anyway I don't know. I Can Fix Them, No Really I Can kind of gives me like reputation vibes, and that's probably why like that one, because reputation is obviously my favorite.

00:14:36
Speaker
I refuse to choose. I'm going to say both. I can't. I can't choose. I'm sorry. I mean, hopefully we'll get a music video for Castle Scrumbling someday. Because, I mean, i can see you. That was fun. But so I might have to choose that just because there's a music video that I can kind of, you know, think about when I yeah hear that song. But I mean, I guess it depends on what mood I'm in. But I guess I'd say I Can See You is probably something I'd listen to more often. But I don't know. I like them both.
00:15:07
Speaker
All right, songs made for movies. Carolina for Where the Crawdads Sing or I Don't Want to Live Forever for Fifty Shades Darker. oh my gosh, that's difficult.
00:15:19
