In this episode of The Story Is, Katie and Amanda discuss Taylor Swift's monumental appearance on the New Heights podcast with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. They delve into the dynamics of Taylor's relationship, her album art choices, and the fan theories that have emerged for her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. We also chat about pop culture nostalgia, what we're reading, Katie's recent love for her Kindle, and some HUGE book news for fall and spring!
