The Archer is NOT a Track 5 (Opinion)

We Need to Calm Down: a Taylor Swift Podcast

Show Notes

Joe is here and he's ready to rant. With facts & figures. On this week's episode Joe sits Devon down for a presentation on why Lover's 'The Archer' is a Track 5 imposter. Joe breaks down what it means to be a Track 5, some interesting data involving the mystical track number and explains why The Archer just doesn't fit in.

Disclaimer: This episode was recorded in June (B.F. - Before Folklore), stay tuned for a Should've Said So segment where Joe and Devon revisit the presentation with the latest Track 5: my tears ricochet and see if his findings hold up.
