Everybody sing it with us…. ELIZABETH TAYLOR! Today, Sara and Laura are analyzing the second track from The Life Of A Showgirl, which has quickly become one of their absolute favorites! After discussing their Eras Tour Documentary “Wi$hli$t,” the ladies analyze the song’s lyrics to explore Taylor’s connection to the famously beautiful and notoriously scandalous icon, Elizabeth Taylor. Musso & Frank’s menu has Sara and Laura dreaming of a Swiftie field trip to Hollywood, and after listening to this episode, you’ll be wanting one too!
