New Year's Day

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) In the lyrics, Taylor Swift promises she'll not only be there for the party, but for the clean up afterward. As we say move on from the holiday season, could your home benefit from a thorough cleaning? of course--although I'm pretty okay at routine maintenance

 

2) This song describes a party where guests took Polaroid pictures. Have you ever owned a Polaroid camera? Do you have one now? an Instax, which is the same thing

3) Taylor sings that we should "hold on to memories." What special memory from 2025 memory will you hang onto? the 60th birthday classroom decorations

 

4) Taylor Swift grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania. Have you taken your tree, or other holiday decorations, down yet? If you didn't decorate at all, let us know that, too. my decorations are still up but will likely come down this weekend

5) Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement but no wedding date has been shared. Do you anticipate attending any weddings in 2026? none that I am aware of

6) Travis' team, the Kansas City Chiefs, is currently 6-10. Not exactly the record their fans hoped for. According to a 2024 Pew research study, 53% of Americans said football is their favorite sport. Have you watched much football this season? none

 

7) In 2017, when "New Year's Day" was released, Wonder Woman was a hit at the box office. While Wonder Woman's superhero abilities vary depending on which TV show, movie or comic book you refer to, some of her powers remain consistent: a) immense strength, b) superhuman speed, c) the ability to almost instantly recover/heal from injury. Which would you like to possess – a, b, or c? at this age and stage, I'll take C

8) Have you made any New Year's resolutions for 2026? no

 
9) What was the first thing to make you laugh in 2026? I laugh a lot, I don't remember what made me laugh first
