It's a good one. A couple 9 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 2: of weeks ago, she came onto Instagram after like a 10 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 2: AI one was mocked up by a fan and she said, oh, 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 2: wait to see the real one, because it's gonna be like, 12 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 2: you know, making tongues wag more than even this, and 13 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 2: it is so good.

The garments, yeah, garments at home, 20 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,279 Speaker 2: and some people we had messages about the garments and such, 21 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: people trying to say, like, you know, next time we 22 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 2: talk about Mormonism. Ho was on we'll talk about you 23 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 2: know exactly how it is in our culture today. But 24 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: that aside, this tag line reads, if you don't fit 25 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: the mold, break it, and it's her in a barbie box. 26 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 2: She is wearing a beautiful red dress and she's stepping 27 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 2: out of that barbie box. She breaks though, you know, 28 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 2: the plastic packaging taking the step out. And the greatest 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 2: things are her accessories. In the background are what if 30 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 2: Taylor was a barbie what it would be included in 31 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: her package? And my favorite two things that just hit 32 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: right off the bat are the Book of More Men, 33 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: so that is absolutely hilarious, the spin on more Men. 34 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: The Book of More Men hilarious because we also know 35 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: that she's been I mean, she's the bachelorette, so she's 36 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: going to get more men. She's known for her relationship 37 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: with with men hilarious. And then we also have a 38 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 2: ring light and a cell phone, some crocs and a 39 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: Tumblr because this is just like her comfy lifestyle. She's 40 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 2: very well known about how she likes to just be cozy. 41 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: She very rarely will dress up. She likes to look 42 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: cute in her sweatsuits. And what else are you seeing her? 43 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 2: Do you have comments on. 44 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 3: I see the purse and the red coat and then 45 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 3: the little red heels and sunglasses. It makes me wonder 46 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: if there's going to be some sort of incognito or 47 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 3: something kind of date on the show, because those are 48 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 3: not the kinds of things that Taylor for hers, or 49 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: if they're just like, oh, we're doing a Barbie reference, 50 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 3: so we need to give like an alternative outfit change 51 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 3: in this box. 52 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 2: I don't know, two lives. 53 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 3: Maybe two lives, yeah, I mean we do. We have 54 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 3: seen like clips of her while filming that she did 55 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 3: have to do some like different kind of outfits than 56 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 3: she normally wears. I'm thinking right off the bat of 57 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 3: like a cardigan and collared shirt outfit that she wore. 58 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 3: But maybe it's a deeper tease than we know. But 59 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 3: I love it. 60 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 2: I love it. 61 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 3: She looks absolutely stunning in this picture. 62 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 2: Sho so good. There's blocks that ride out mom, and 63 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: there's a little toy truck. And this is very, very 64 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 2: heavily red Valentine's Day themed, which is why I think 65 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: it's being released now one day February ninth. I think 66 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 2: it's more on the nose with like the red Valentine's 67 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: A theme than any past release. 68 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 3: I think it also like, is tying in right with 69 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 3: that Bachelorette reunion where they're all wearing red. Oh, that's 70 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 3: all right, So I think that's just part of like 71 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 3: the overarching colors that they're pushing with this. 72 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, you are absolutely correct, all right. So now the 73 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: teaser it was fun. It doesn't show any clips from 74 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 2: this season, so it's not like we're getting a preview 75 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: of the season. It's more of like a hype video 76 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: for Taylor being the Bachelorette. It starts out by saying, 77 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: people think that I want all the attention something like that. 78 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 2: I thought she was going to say, like that line 79 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: from Taylor in a Taylor Swift line where it's like 80 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: it's not always about me, but what if it is? 81 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 2: And I thought that maybe she'd be like, they say 82 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: that I want all the attention and like, maybe I do. 83 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: But she doesn't end up saying that. It's like an 84 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 2: accusation about her, is that she wants all the attention. 85 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 2: Mm hmm. 86 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 3: What I think is interesting, obviously, is this promo starts 87 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 3: with her walking down a hall of cell phones, very 88 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,679 Speaker 3: reminiscent right of Taylor Swift in her eras tour. 89 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 2: You know, this is as reputation as reputation is playing. 90 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 3: Yes, and we get to see different clips and things 91 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 3: of Taylor through this. So we start with you know, headlines, 92 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 3: We see tiktoks, We see her a clip from her 93 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 3: on call her Daddy. We see obviously her incredible viral 94 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 3: TikTok moment where she sat down and announced the soft 95 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 3: swinging scandal, which is what started this all. And and 96 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 3: so I think that it's a it's a really interesting 97 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 3: way not showing clips of the show, but highlighting who 98 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 3: our lead is going to be and kind of seeing 99 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 3: this range, like we see her. I think there's one 100 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 3: clip of her like crying and like making food at 101 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 3: the same time. So we're just kind of seeing a 102 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 3: wide range of like what she's been through and parts 103 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: of her personality from dancing and having fun to having 104 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 3: this more serious, you know moments. 105 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun that they get to use clips from 106 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 2: another show to promote the Bachelorette. Yeah, she says in 107 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 2: it millions of likes and I didn't like myself. Then 108 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: she talks about cheating, being cheated on. She talks about 109 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: whether or not she feels worthy of love, but she 110 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 2: wants to better herself for her kids, and that she's 111 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 2: ready to get back into it. You see that in 112 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: a clip of an interview that she did on Call 113 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 2: Her Daddy, and it's just like it builds up the 114 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: fact that she is a public figure already the entire trailer, 115 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 2: and I feel like it gives like a little bit 116 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 2: of more weight to the kind of bachelor atte leads 117 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 2: she's going to be. And at the end she adds 118 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 2: this cute little line, She's like, you just have to 119 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: have a little faith, as if it's an ironic statement. 120 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: And then she steps out of the cell phone. She's 121 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 3: in that a similar red dress as she is throughout 122 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 3: this clip like she is in the photo. She's wearing 123 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 3: like a red gown, heels, and then at the very 124 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 3: end she steps out of the cell phone and is 125 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: wearing like sweats and red crocs. 126 00:06:54,640 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: I love it. So it's all intertwined. Any other messages 127 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: in there that you think are lingering. 128 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 3: I will say we got a lot of shots of her. 129 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 3: We didn't see too many shots of like her family 130 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 3: or her with her kids, which we actually if you 131 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 3: watch the show, you don't see her two children from 132 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 3: her marriage. They are not part of the show, but 133 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 3: we do. Really, Yeah, we don't ever know. 134 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: That's like something that he doesn't want them to be 135 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 2: on camera. 136 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 3: Or maybe a decision they both made, I don't know. 137 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 3: But we do see ever her baby with Dakota on 138 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 3: the show here and there, because we see them, like, 139 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: you know, doing co parenting together and whatnot. So yes, 140 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 3: but no, none of her children as far as I saw, 141 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 3: appear in this, and neither her mom too. I would 142 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: have thought we would maybe see a family member in there, 143 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 3: but we don't. And I'm just excited, Like I just 144 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 3: I watched this and it's just getting me more and 145 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 3: more pumped for this season. Like I really do think 146 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 3: that they're doing something different in putting her in this role, 147 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 3: and I think just her stepping out in her own 148 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: outfit is just further proof that this is going to 149 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 3: be a very different season than we've ever had before. 150 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree. It's like they're having fun again. 151 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 2: It feels like Verrey excited to put this content out 152 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: and it's not like a run of the mill, like, 153 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: oh here we go again type thing. They know this 154 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: is interesting.
