Forty-five episodes in, and things just got very, very real.

Jen and Rachel are back with a full glass and a LOT to say — trends, milestones, a tearjerker of a Hits Different segment, and two announcements that have us fully in our Main Stage Era.

👟 THE TRENDS SEGMENT

This week: Red Flats Queen (the Met Gala assistant who went viral for running the whole show in red flats and zero cares) and the I’m a Survivor trend — using Reba McEntire’s anthem to celebrate the absolute bare minimum. Swallowed your vitamins? Survivor. Didn’t cry until the very end of the band concert? Survivor. We’re all survivors here.

🏟️ ANNOUNCEMENT #1: WE’RE PLAYING RIVERFEST

So THIS Happened is recording LIVE on the Main Stage at Wichita Riverfest — May 29th at 1:30 PM. All you need is your Riverfest button. Come find us front and center. Sponsored by Vu Events. 🎉

🥂 ANNOUNCEMENT #2: ANNIVERSARY PARTY

We’re almost a year old and we’re throwing a party. More details coming very soon — but save the date: July 12th, 2–4 PM at Bubbles Champagne Bar inside The Workroom. Presenting sponsor: Vu Events. Venue sponsor: Bubbles. It’s going to be incredibubble.

🎵 HITS DIFFERENT: “The Best Day” — Taylor Swift (Fearless)

Rachel came in blind and left emotional. Jen couldn’t make it through without crying. Between Nick’s last band concert solo, graduation week, and wedding lead-up memories — this one hit every single layer.
