Steph returns for one pillar of our youthful feminism, Malala Yousafzai.
So number one, as proper millennial girls, we have been all in on the four songs Taylor released-
Woo
... with The Encore.
So Steph, get us started.
How you feeling on these?
I was just so happy.
It, uh, it felt, like, I still felt like they all felt upbeat, excited.
I was definitely, like, a Taylor Swift from, like, the 1989, like, Lover era kind of.
Like, I really enjoy, like, upbeat songs-
Okay
...
even if the, even if the content is not upbeat.
Mm-hmm.
Like Patient Zero, like, it's intense, but it's like, there's, like, a movement, there's a swing.
I can kind of, like, dance to it, you know?
Yeah.
Um, I have, as I've aged, I've started to really enjoy her other, like, you know, I gotta go back to, um, Tortured Poets Department, because obviously there's some really great stuff.
But I just, I really, these four songs deliver.
Yeah.
They did.
They 100%, yeah.
They are.
They make me so happy, and that's why as a Scorpio moon and someone who connects to the more, like, intense lyrics, that's why Patient Zero sits at the top for me, especially when she's talking about she's already done the healing, the reeling, the curses and the prayers, like, she's been there.
Um, yeah, really, like, sad, intense, upbeat songs are my slice of heaven.
But then Babylon is so profound.
