    Is Olivia Dean ACTUALLY The Best New Artist?

    Olivia Dean is our Best New Artist, and I can scarcely believe how right the Grammys got it. In this episode of Queen Things, I’m still sitting with the joy of watching Olivia Dean win—her voice, her ease, her stage presence, and that unmistakable feeling that we’re witnessing the start of something truly special.  From there, we’ve got a full pop-culture rundown. I’m talking Grammys performances that delighted me, confused me, and confirmed some long-held suspicions about who gets praised for doing the least. I also reflect on influencer burnout, the identity wobble that comes with your twenties, when cultural commentary starts to feel less funny and more mean-spirited, and why I’m increasingly intentional about where I draw that line. And because things feel heavy right now, I share a few small but meaningful moments that have given me hope lately.

    Why Is Beyoncé Told “that’s not possible” - When Taylor Swift Isn’t?

    What began as an off-the-cuff observation turned into a full-blown conversation after listeners weighed in on the differences between Beyoncé’s Renaissance film and Taylor Swift’s End of an Era. In this episode, I unpack your comments and explore what might actually be driving the contrast — race, leadership style, perfectionism, collaboration, narrative choices, or something deeper. This isn’t about competition. It’s about power, perception, and how different women are allowed to move through the world — and be believed when they do. Let’s talk about it. Also!  I want to know more about you. If you have a few minutes, take the listener survey below and tell me where you’re listening from, what you want more of, and what conversations you want this show to explore next.
