We learned at the beginning of the episode that the Swift of the week “Cruel Summer” was not only the one Sam has always been waiting for, it also is unfortunately close to home for Sam as he revealed being in breakable Hell with a broken foot for the summer and Era’s Tour. It’s blue, the feeling he’s got about it, but it’s also cool because Cruel Summer is his number one song, that’s what he tells us.

Valentine week felt like the best opportunity for us to fall into this week’s Lover-ly episode discussing the song “Lover” off the album of the same name. We promise to be overdramatic and true to our love of Rihanna’s half time performance. Then all’s well that ends well when we end up discussing how happy we are that Taylor has ended up with Joe. We show this by over-using the word “sweet” and “awww” as well as far too often singing off-key to “Loverrrrrr.” This is our place. We make the
