  Speaker 2: Hey guys, welcome to the Almost Famous Podcast. It is
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Ashley and producer Heather. Here we are breaking down something
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: that was a release just within the hour. It is
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Taylor Freaky Paul's Bachelorette teaser and her official bachelorette promo photo,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: the one that we'll probably see on now all the
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: billboards out in LA. It's a good one. A couple
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: of weeks ago, she came onto Instagram after like a
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: AI one was mocked up by a fan and she said, oh,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: wait to see the real one, because it's gonna be like,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: you know, making tongues wag more than even this, and
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: it is so good. It's perfect. Let's talk about the
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: picture first, Heather.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I do want to say that when I saw it,
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I was like, she was not lying, like this is
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: better than what the fan had made up, the fake one.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: The fan had made that comment or the was about
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: her wearing the guards. The garments, yeah, garments at home,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: and some people we had messages about the garments and such,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: people trying to say, like, you know, next time we
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: talk about Mormonism. Ho was on we'll talk about you
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: know exactly how it is in our culture today. But
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: that aside, this tag line reads, if you don't fit
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the mold, break it, and it's her in a barbie box.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: She is wearing a beautiful red dress and she's stepping
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: out of that barbie box. She breaks though, you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the plastic packaging taking the step out. And the greatest
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: things are her accessories. In the background are what if
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Taylor was a barbie what it would be included in
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: her package? And my favorite two things that just hit
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: right off the bat are the Book of More Men,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: so that is absolutely hilarious, the spin on more Men.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: The Book of More Men hilarious because we also know
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: that she's been I mean, she's the bachelorette, so she's
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: going to get more men. She's known for her relationship
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: with with men hilarious. And then we also have a
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: ring light and a cell phone, some crocs and a
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Tumblr because this is just like her comfy lifestyle. She's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: very well known about how she likes to just be cozy.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: She very rarely will dress up. She likes to look
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: cute in her sweatsuits. And what else are you seeing her?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Do you have comments on.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I see the purse and the red coat and then
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: the little red heels and sunglasses. It makes me wonder
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: if there's going to be some sort of incognito or
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: something kind of date on the show, because those are
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: not the kinds of things that Taylor for hers, or
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: if they're just like, oh, we're doing a Barbie reference,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: so we need to give like an alternative outfit change
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: in this box.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know, two lives.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Maybe two lives, yeah, I mean we do. We have
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: seen like clips of her while filming that she did
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: have to do some like different kind of outfits than
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: she normally wears. I'm thinking right off the bat of
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: like a cardigan and collared shirt outfit that she wore.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: But maybe it's a deeper tease than we know. But
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: She looks absolutely stunning in this picture.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Sho so good. There's blocks that ride out mom, and
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: there's a little toy truck. And this is very, very
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: heavily red Valentine's Day themed, which is why I think
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: it's being released now one day February ninth. I think
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: it's more on the nose with like the red Valentine's
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: A theme than any past release.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I think it also like, is tying in right with
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: that Bachelorette reunion where they're all wearing red. Oh, that's
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: all right, So I think that's just part of like
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the overarching colors that they're pushing with this.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you are absolutely correct, all right. So now the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: teaser it was fun. It doesn't show any clips from
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: this season, so it's not like we're getting a preview
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: of the season. It's more of like a hype video
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: for Taylor being the Bachelorette. It starts out by saying,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: people think that I want all the attention something like that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I thought she was going to say, like that line
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: from Taylor in a Taylor Swift line where it's like
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it's not always about me, but what if it is?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: And I thought that maybe she'd be like, they say
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that I want all the attention and like, maybe I do.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: But she doesn't end up saying that. It's like an
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: accusation about her, is that she wants all the attention.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: What I think is interesting, obviously, is this promo starts
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: with her walking down a hall of cell phones, very
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: reminiscent right of Taylor Swift in her eras tour.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: You know, this is as reputation as reputation is playing.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Yes, and we get to see different clips and things
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: of Taylor through this. So we start with you know, headlines,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: We see tiktoks, We see her a clip from her
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: on call her Daddy. We see obviously her incredible viral
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: TikTok moment where she sat down and announced the soft
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: swinging scandal, which is what started this all. And and
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: so I think that it's a it's a really interesting
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: way not showing clips of the show, but highlighting who
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: our lead is going to be and kind of seeing
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: this range, like we see her. I think there's one
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: clip of her like crying and like making food at
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: the same time. So we're just kind of seeing a
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: wide range of like what she's been through and parts
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: of her personality from dancing and having fun to having
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: this more serious, you know moments.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun that they get to use clips from
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: another show to promote the Bachelorette. Yeah, she says in
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: it millions of likes and I didn't like myself. Then
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: she talks about cheating, being cheated on. She talks about
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: whether or not she feels worthy of love, but she
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: wants to better herself for her kids, and that she's
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: ready to get back into it. You see that in
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: a clip of an interview that she did on Call
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Her Daddy, and it's just like it builds up the
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: fact that she is a public figure already the entire trailer,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and I feel like it gives like a little bit
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: of more weight to the kind of bachelor atte leads
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: she's going to be. And at the end she adds
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: this cute little line, She's like, you just have to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: have a little faith, as if it's an ironic statement.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: And then she steps out of the cell phone. She's
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: in that a similar red dress as she is throughout
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: this clip like she is in the photo. She's wearing
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: like a red gown, heels, and then at the very
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: end she steps out of the cell phone and is
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: wearing like sweats and red crocs.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I love it. So it's all intertwined. Any other messages
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: in there that you think are lingering.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I will say we got a lot of shots of her.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: We didn't see too many shots of like her family
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: or her with her kids, which we actually if you
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: watch the show, you don't see her two children from
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: her marriage. They are not part of the show, but
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: we do. Really, Yeah, we don't ever know.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: That's like something that he doesn't want them to be
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: on camera.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Or maybe a decision they both made, I don't know.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: But we do see ever her baby with Dakota on
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: the show here and there, because we see them, like,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: you know, doing co parenting together and whatnot. So yes,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: but no, none of her children as far as I saw,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: appear in this, and neither her mom too. I would
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: have thought we would maybe see a family member in there,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: but we don't. And I'm just excited, Like I just
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I watched this and it's just getting me more and
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: more pumped for this season. Like I really do think
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: that they're doing something different in putting her in this role,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: and I think just her stepping out in her own
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: outfit is just further proof that this is going to
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: be a very different season than we've ever had before.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree. It's like they're having fun again.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: It feels like Verrey excited to put this content out
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and it's not like a run of the mill, like,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: oh here we go again type thing. They know this
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: is interesting. They're having fun with all the puns and yeah,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to talk about how the step out
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: of the breaking of the camera and how she's literally
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: in She's not in sowtpans, but she is in a
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: far more casual outfit than you would typically see from
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: a bachelorette, and I think that that is one of
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the ways that she's like, Hey, I'm breaking the mold here.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to be wearing a ball gown every night. Yeah,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: and I like it.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I just feel like there's so many times where I've
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: watched a season of The Bachelorette and I've known like
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: a little factor of that lead just from being on
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: whatever previous season they were on. But I feel like
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I'm going in like knowing so much about her and
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: knowing so much about the journey to get to this
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: point that it is like creating a different level of
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: connection that I have with a lead than I think
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I ever have.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, I think that you speak for most a
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: lot of people when you say that, all right, guys, well,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: until we get a final, a final tease, that's what
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: we got right now, and we are like five weeks
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: away from the premiere, pretty close, so I'm sure we'll
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: be getting a tease within the next month. That shows
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: more of the guys than we can, of course over
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: analyze them until next time. That's what we've got for you.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: We love you, We are so grateful to be having
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: this fantastic Bachelor at season ahead to recap with you,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: and we'll see you next time. Until then, I've been Ashley,
