In this surprise Swiftory episode, Alicia dusts off a vintage file to dig into the song “Happiness” from Evermore. This blast from the past, recorded with Stacie years ago, connects through the current storylines this week on both Trashy Divorces and Done and Dunne as the life, loves, and literature of F. Scott Fitzgerald were featured. This sad elegy to the past relationships has many references to The Great Gatsby and the lives of Scott and Zelda, but on a larger level provides a guiding light for getting through a breakup. 

Check out the full Scott & Zelda saga at Trashy Divorces.
