- Hosts: Amy, McCormick, and Lucy
- Swift Facts: Taylor wrote “The Outside” when she was 12 years old making it one of her earliest written songs to be released.
- Department Findings: We dive into the background, production, and lyrics of “The Outside.”
- Typical 2000s pop country sound to the production of this song.
- The music is upbeat, but the lyrics are kind of a downer.
- McCormick went down a rabbit hole about the difference between a violin and a fiddle. Amy clarifies: there is none. It has to do with the style in which you play it, but the same instrument is used for both.
- “The Road Not Taken” comes up again, this time the Robert Frost poem is referenced directly in the song.
- Things not working out the first few times is a theme in Taylor’s music. In “Mirrorball,” she claims to have “never been a natural.” This has the same vibes.
- The use of a question to bring the audience into the conversation.
- We don’t miss high school.
- “The Outside” perfectly captures the feelings and emotions from watching other people make plans to hang out right in front of you and consistently feeling left out.
- Tay-Lore: We revisit the hidden messages in the lyrics in the CD booklet for the self-titled album. Sam sure did mess up.
