About the episode

We have been cl0wned. After dropping a series of obscure clues, Taylor Swift revealed that she is releasing an expanded edition of The Life of a Showgirl on Friday called Encore, featuring four bonus tracks. Nora and Nathan speculate about why she’s deciding to release bonus tracks after saying that Life of a Showgirl would have only 12 songs (1:00), and they talk about some of their favorite bonus tracks that Swift has released in the past (30:58). Then they talk about the latest album from Miley Cyrus, Bass Persuades, and the two sold-out shows she’ll be playing at the Hollywood Bowl (37:46).
