    Taylor's Still a Menace + The Worst Week in Brand Marketing + Dolly Parton's Legacy

    Taylor's Grammy performance and hour-long interview had me completely gagged — the mashup, the vocals, the way she addressed the Showgirl backlash without ever naming it. I'm breaking it all down. This episode is also a chance to talk about what Dolly Parton's legacy has meant to my family, beyond the music. Plus some thoughts on a rough week in brand marketing and the news on Harry and Meghan. Let's get into it.

    Taylor Isn’t An Activist + What’s Going On With Influencers?

    Taylor Swift just quietly pulled her music off Trump's TikToks — the internet ran wild with a theory I had to fact-check myself. Then: Jools LeBron's GoFundMe, a Nantucket shop's "No Influencers" sign, and the debate nobody expected to get this heated. Let's get into it.

    Leave Ariana Alone + Hank Green's AI Confession + BTS Snubs the Grammys

    This week we’re diving into Ariana Grande’s step back from visibility — her statement, the scrutiny, and why the reaction has me feeling icky. Also, Hank Green just admitted he's over-relying on AI and BTS pulled out of the Grammys over the new "Asian pop" category - lots of thoughts on both!  Let’s get into it.

    Don’t Sleep on Taylor's Vocals + Anne Hathaway Is an Ally + Gen Z’s Loser Boyfriends

    This week, I'm breaking down exactly why Taylor’s a far better singer than she gets credit for. Plus, Anne Hathaway is an ally and she's not being quiet about it — her HRC speech has me feeling a way. And that Cut article on Gen Z women financing their loser boyfriends' entire lives? We need to talk about it. Plus a quick check-in on your World Cup halftime show comments and where things stand with Jen Hamilton.
