First 90 secondsZara McDonald· Host0:00
I feel like the biggest story of the week, nay, the month- In, in silly pop culture land. [laughs] Obviously- [laughs] ... in this land, has been nowhere. No one is talking about it, it is not getting the kudos it deserves.
Michelle Andrews· Host0:14
How is it the biggest story, then?
Zara McDonald· Host0:16
Because I think, I think people have forgotten to pick it up.
Michelle Andrews· Host0:19
Oh.
Zara McDonald· Host0:19
But apparently, according to TMZ, Karlie Kloss is invited to Taylor Swift's wedding.
Michelle Andrews· Host0:23
Mm. I care a lot about this, but like maybe people aren't picking it up because it's TMZ and it feels so, like, anonymous source-y.
Zara McDonald· Host0:34

Zara McDonald· Host1:02
She was at the Eras Tour in the stands, and then there was like all this conjecture about whether she was actually in the VIP tent later that night. Anyway- Mm ... sources say she'll be at the wedding. I think we might have to do an entire, uh, bespoke episode on this wedding.
Michelle Andrews· Host1:16
Absolutely.
Zara McDonald· Host1:17
Yeah.
Michelle Andrews· Host1:18
You're all cordially invited to our bonus emergency episode around Taylor Swift's wedding.
Zara McDonald· Host1:24
Oh, you're welcome.
Michelle Andrews· Host1:25
Do you think... So you think she's posting on Instagram? Taylor Swift will post on Instagram- Yes, I think she will ... and it will all be out there.
Zara McDonald· Host1:29
I do think
