    Does Anyone Care About the Arts?

    Timothée Chalamet sparked a conversation I couldn't let slide — and it leads somewhere much bigger than ballet. Plus, the the double standard of blaming women for what their men allegedly did, from Beyoncé to Taylor.  Come ready.

    Bruno’s Still Got It, But Is It Enough? [BONUS]

    Bruno Mars is back with The Romantic — his first solo album in nearly a decade — and I had to record my thoughts immediately. Is The Romantic a cohesive return? Is Bruno playing it safe — or playing it smart? And in a field of deeply underwhelming male pop, is “still got it” actually more than enough? Let’s get into it.

    Impact over Intent: Tyra, BAFTAs, and Love is Blind

    This week we’re talking about impact over intent — and what accountability actually looks like when the cameras are rolling. Plus: Black News, White News (yes, it’s still going viral), and a reminder that walking away calmly is sometimes the most powerful move you can make. Let’s get into it.

    Bad Bunny’s Triumph & Taylor’s Backlash

    This week, I’m breaking down why that halftime show felt so joyful, and why some people seemed determined to hate it. Then we pivot to Taylor Swift’s new Opalite video and the op-ed calling her art “boring” and overly self-mythologizing… Let’s talk about it.

    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.

    I Finally Let Olivia Dean Ruin Me (In the Best Way)

    This was supposed to be a chill listen. Instead, Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving absolutely leveled me. In this bonus episode, I press play on the album for the very first time—snowed in, wig on, emotionally fragile—and talk through what it means to hear someone articulate love, heartbreak, growth, and self-trust with this much clarity at 26 years old. From bell hooks references in the intro to songs that feel like a breakup before the breakup, to a final track that left me fully undone… this album is tight, intentional, and quietly devastating. Headphones recommended. Feelings unavoidable.

    I’m Bald…What Now?

    I’m bald. And I want to talk about it. In this episode, I share what led me to shave my head after being diagnosed with alopecia areata — the grief, the relief, the fear, and the complicated feelings that come with seeing yourself differently in the mirror. We talk about identity, femininity, beauty standards, and what it means to navigate a very visible change as a woman who’s both deeply private and publicly online. I don’t have clean answers, just honesty about where I am, what I’m wrestling with, and how I’m learning to exist in this new version of myself. It’s gonna be raw, reflective, (hopefully) a little funny, and very human. Thanks for being here with me.
