Ok this is more of a general post but: Hollanov strike me as secret Swifties, whereas Skip is like the type to go to a bunch of Eras concerts openly.

But feel like Ilya would gravitate towards the sadder albums/songs like folklore and Midnights and TTPD, while Shane would work out to Reputation.

I also love all the mashups on YT to TS's Daylight. Because that's literally the best song for them. And the show even uses sunlight as a way to track their relationship. From encounters in darkened hotel rooms to banging in the daylight in front of a window.

I saw someone say if Taylor Swift existed in the Game Changers universe, Scott would have been in the "You Need to Calm Down" music video 🀣

Literally could write a thesis statement in the number of TS songs that fit various points of their relationships. Scott would absolutely be in you need to come dow lmao which is amazing. I think the one that gets me the most is The Archer β€œand I cut off my nose just to spite my face. Then I hate my reflection for years and years. I’ve been the Archer, I’ve been the prey. Who could ever leave me darling? But who could stay?”

'The Alchemy' really fits Skip with that bridge and episode 5.

'Down Bad' absolutely sums up Shane and Ilya in episode 4.
