    Absolutely amazing podcast. I listen to it every night. Please listen, they are amazing and deserve more love :)

    To JJGOODYAHRIZZ: you literally put 5 stars. Also the swiftie thing? I’m a swiftie. I’ve been one for awhile. Taylor is just expressing that haters are gonna hate and they can’t effect us or our beliefs. Also please never call people idiots. That is a very strong word that hurts our feelings.

    Lovers: keep it up. No one can bring down your beliefs and rights. Always remember that. more
