Episode 189 -\xa0Dear Swifties, Taylor Swift reminds you to please try to never grow up.\xa0This past week, Taylor met her godson, Leo Thames, the son of Jaime King and Kyle Newman, and posted some adorable photos with him on Instagram. In honor of his birth, we discuss \u201cNever Grow Up.\u201d Although the song was never heavily promoted, \u201cNever Grow Up\u201d still continues to be a fan favorite for its poignant and nostalgic lyrics. (I\u2019m not crying. You are.)
\nWhat do you think of \u201cNever Grow Up\u201d? Is Taylor mourning the loss of her childhood? How does she think we should try to never grow up? Can we? Leave your response in the comments. Enjoy the episode!
