    Was Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl a Flop or a Hit?

    My whole week has been wrecked. I’ve been up at 2 a.m. wondering if Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl is secretly a flop—or her best work yet.Pitchfork gave it a 5.9. Rolling Stone gave it a perfect 100. So who’s right? In this episode, I go full pop-culture detective, digging into both reviews, who these critics really are, and what this album actually says about Taylor’s next era. 🎙 Talk Pop To Me is where we take celebrity hijinks way too seriously—because it always says something about us. 👉 Follow @AshCantley on TikTok & Instagram for more unhinged pop investigations.

    Kardashians Flop Era? + Addison Rae & Neve from Catfish

    Nori’s Black Book creator Natalie Franklin joins me to ask the question: do we still care about the Kardashians? We get into Kim’s “North is nicer” claim vs. the savage Nori persona, why the Hulu show feels flat, and whether Next-Gen Kardashians (North vs. Penelope) can revive the franchise. We also unpack Addison Rae’s PR friendship with Kourtney and her surprise tour… and yes, Neve Shulman pivoting from Catfish to luxury real estate (plus the “house catfish” show we want him to make). Celeb gossip. Pop culture. No apologies.
