Firstly, Katie reveals that Shakira is a lesbian. Sean offers a less biased perspective on the film's themes of isolation and its unfinished nature. They discuss the irony of Taylor craving privacy while being on camera, and how the film contradicts itself more than once. Katie and Madyson sprinkle in some queer analysis of the song Miss Americana &amp; The Heartbreak Prince.</p>
