No point in posting my Spotify Wrapped as my 8-year-old daughter has consistently asked to listen to Taylor Swift every time we go anywhere in the car this year, so you can guess what my lists looked like.

It's definitely a hard choice and I had to leave a lot off the list, but my daughter enjoys asking me tough questions like this. Rep is such a solid album. Lover has more great songs on it than I first realized. I haven't gotten into Folklore yet to be honest, but I will give it another spin.

(Also I'd have to put "End Game" in my top three favorite Taylor songs along with "Karma" and "Shake It Off.")

folklore is next level. Long pond studio sessions is on Disney. She probably already knows about it.

Whenever my wife goes into the office, I watch ERAs, long pond, and then the Olivia doc to round it all out.

That's difficult. Rep was the one they hooked me, but Lover and folklore broke me. I'd have to think for a while about this. Id short circuit.

Mustang Bass Fender's Mustang Bass is a short-scale alternative to its long-scale big brothers. Explore Fender Mustang Bass models and find your next favorite.

Also that orange Fender Mustang Bass she's playing here is so sick. I absolutely do not need another bass, but I want it: www.fender.com/collections/...

I went down a rabbit hole when Royal Blood got big like 15 years ago, started running the Epi through a bass soul food and a pog2 I got in a scratch and dent sale. The sound was just massive.
