It's Mini Episode Wednesday, and the pop culture group chat is officially open.

This week I dive into new reporting surrounding the Taylor Swift smear campaign and why it’s shifting the online conversation. I also touch on major moments in pop culture, including the buzz around The Moment trailer and Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour making history as the highest-grossing solo tour of the year. A few quick reactions to recent performances and a wholesome celebrity update round out the episode on a lighter note.

Thanks for listening! Follow, rate, and review us!
