Laufey is a Taurus, so of course she has expensive taste—or at least, she thinks she does. In this episode of “Expensive Taste Test,” the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter finally tries the game she’s watched before and thought, “I’ll smash that.” From calling one matcha “touched by a god” to declaring one sprinkle cake tastes like something she found on her grandma’s shelf, Laufey uses every sense (and a bit of intuition) to decide what’s fancy and what’s not. Watch as she proves if her mom taught her well enough to spot a quality cello bow, and immediately trusts her gut when picking which stuffed bunny is pricier. The only question left is… did she actually smash it?

00:00Do I have expensive taste?
00:02I'm a Taurus, so yes, I do have expensive taste.
00:06Hi, I'm Leve.
00:07I'm playing Expensive Taste Test with Cosme.
00:12I'm so excited.
00:13This is like definitely one of those videos
00:15that I've watched before and been like,
00:17I'll smash that.
00:24These are matcha lattes.
00:27I already know which one is the expensive one.
00:29Because one of them's green and the other one isn't.
00:32Unless this is like a hojicha situation.
00:35Great, great, great.
00:38It has like an earthy, muddy taste almost,
00:41but in like a really nice way, like a grassy taste.
00:47And I like it.
00:49That feels like ceremonial grade, touched by a god.
00:57Ooh.
00:57Ooh.
00:58I don't know what it tastes like,
00:59but it doesn't taste like matcha.
01:01This is the expensive one.
01:06Of course I am.
01:08What is this?
01:09Where did you find it?
01:11This is like sink water.
01:18Here we have some stuffed bunny rabbits.
01:21Although I see none of them is my maymay.
01:23I'm born in the year of the rabbit,
01:24so I've, I only had stuffed bunnies growing up.
01:34This is the more expensive one.
01:36It's just, it has more weight to it.
01:39It's like softer, it's like less stuffed,
01:43but in a way that feels luxurious.
01:56Here we have two clutches.
01:59Let's, let's dig in.
02:01Okay, this one's lighter.
02:03So my initial thought right now is that this one's more expensive.
02:11I feel like this is what this one's like making hand marks more easily,
02:16like fingerprints, you know?
02:19Or does this one, this one feels a little bit less destructible.
02:25It appears that I don't know how to open any of, there you go, there you go, okay.
02:33That doesn't look good for it.
02:34I'm not going to lie.
02:35I think this is the expensive one.
02:41I would totally use this bag.
02:43That's so cool, putting it down and it stays.
02:46So sick.
02:52Two slices of cake.
02:54They seem to be of the funfetti family.
02:58My first thought, I can see the dye kind of dancing around.
03:03There's like a whole ballet of colors going on here.
03:08This one here is a little more dry, I will say.
03:13Yeah, this one's more moist.
03:16Preservatives are probably in this one.
03:19There's no way that that would be so moist still.
03:23Someone's going to get mad at me for saying moist.
03:27Also, these sprinkles look bougier.
03:31Like the colors.
03:33Somebody went in and was like, two shades of purple, like mauve.
03:38Justin Bieber purpose for purple.
03:40This one looks very Instagrammable.
03:42Now we will do the taste test.
03:48It's a little dry.
03:50But I can taste the butter here.
03:54And I'll guarantee you that this one
03:58tastes like something I found in the back of my grandma's shelf.
04:03It has that plastic kick, you know?
04:08I believe that this one is the expensive one.
04:15What?
04:17Is it actually?
04:18Yeah.
04:20I feel really duped right now.
04:28These are gin and tonics.
04:30My first legal drink was a gin and tonic.
04:34This one smells like alcohol, like a little bit like cleaning agent.
04:39I don't know if that makes it expensive or cheap, though, necessarily.
04:42This one actually doesn't smell like anything.
04:44So maybe I should taste it first.
04:50Tastes like a good night out, huh?
04:54It has more overtones, if that makes sense.
05:00I feel like the taste lingers.
05:03I think this one is the expensive one.
05:08It's correct.
05:09Of course it is.
05:16My mom taught me a lot about bows growing up.
05:19So I guess we'll see if she taught me well enough.
05:22This one hasn't been played very much.
05:27There's no rosin on it.
05:29This one also looks like there is no rosin on it.
05:34This one looks very new.
05:36This one also looks like a new bow.
05:40Looks pretty straight.
05:42This one's very straight.
05:47My guess is that this is the expensive one.
05:51I am correct.
05:53Do we have the prices of them?
06:00$39.99 for a bow.
06:02That's crazy.
06:08Are these eyeshadows?
06:12All right.
06:14I feel like a makeup YouTuber when I do this.
06:17Okay.
06:19This one's a bit more potent.
06:21Yeah, it feels like it's a little shinier.
06:25So.
06:30Is this the more expensive one?
06:36It is? Okay.
06:44Ballet slippers.
06:46My first thought is that you guys are trying to trick me
06:50by like making the cheaper one the leather one.
06:53So that I'll immediately be like, oh, this is luxe.
06:57But I see you and I'm smarter than that.
07:00So they both have split soles.
07:03So they're both like, you know, a step above a children's shoe.
07:09These have been attached on by the factory, which makes me think that they're cheaper.
07:14Whereas these look like somebody's sewn them.
07:19If I'm not mistaken, nicer ballet shoes come just with the straps hanging.
07:29And you have to sew them yourself.
07:31The sole is a little stiffer.
07:33This feels just more like leather, but I don't want to be tricked.
07:37I don't want to say that just because it's leather,
07:40it's more expensive because that's not always the case.
07:43This just looks, it just looks cheaper.
07:47So I'm going to say this.
07:48This also has drawstrings.
07:50So there's just more construction to it.
07:52I think these are the more expensive ones.
07:58Yay.
07:59I knew it.
08:00You know, the leather I saw at first and I was like,
08:02they're trying to, they're trying to get me.
08:05The cake got me.
08:06It was the cake, but I feel like seven out of eight is good.
08:09I'll take that.
08:09I'll take that.
08:10Thank you so much for watching my new album.
08:13A Matter of Time is out August 22nd.
