We had A LOT to say about the "Patient Zero," the first of four tracks on Taylor Swift's "The Encore." We see Taylor baring her soul, not just to the audience, but to another woman who is in the same predicament she was once in. We go through the song, line by line, seeing how ill the singer was but also how she's willing to help the woman who is now in her shoes. The, for the last third of the episode, we delve into the Patient Zero music video and how it gives us even more insight into the song.
Exquisite and Hannah are up at the magenta sunrise to do a quick analysis of all the songs on "The Encore:" Patient Zero, Cleveland!, Pink Clouding, and Babylon. This is the perfect way for you to orient yourself to the new tracks by getting some insight into the subjects of each song and how it connects to the rest of the Tayuniverse.
Looks like we're going to have to step out of the "folklore" woods for a few weeks and head back to the stage for "The Encore." Here's a quick preview of our upcoming schedule and our initial thoughts on this new deluxe edition of "The Life of a Showgirl" and what we think of the new tracks:1. Patient Zero2. Cleveland!3.
