Tetris Kelly: It’s a Taylor Swift takeover on the charts. Where did The Life of a Showgirl tracks debut? This is the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 for the week dated October 18th. At No. 10 is “Cancelled!”
Fan 1: I love “Cancelled!” just because it, like, reminds me of old, like, albums. Like, it reminds me of Reputation a little bit, the message behind it, too. Like, you love your friends no matter what, like, I love that.
Stefanie Tanaka: Is it OK for Taylor to be like, ‘I don’t care that you got canceled, as long as you’re dripped in Gucci?’
Fan 2: No, but at the same time, yes, we all have friends that we know are toxic, and yet we still stay friends with them.
Stefanie Tanaka: Yes.
Tetris Kelly: “Eldest Daughter” is at No. 9.
