I thought the best way to kick off the 2020s, would be to ask Payton for her top five Taylor Swift songs. Now, I realize that Taylor Swift has been around for way longer than the 2020s, but Payton started listening to her in the 2020s (probably like a year or so ago), and it is cool to see how she gravitates to certain songs. She usually just asks Alexa to play Taylor Swift songs, and she gets a random mix. 

So that is what we are doing this week. Payton’s Top Five Taylor Swift Songs!

I was shocked that this was her favorite song. I have heard her play it a bunch, but just thought she played all the songs a bunch. I asked her why, and this is what she said:

 

I listened to it on Alexa, and asked what it was called. I listened to it a bunch, I liked it because it was slow and angry.
