Taylor Swift’s 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, was released last week, and to the world’s surprise, it did not impress. But is Taylor really losing her craft? Is she becoming MAGA-fied? Has her man replaced her brain with a football? Or is there more to the story?

This episode, Hailey inspects this album through a different lens: an ironic one. Is it possible that this “new” Taylor is simply reflecting back on society what it wants from her? (that 1950s shit.) Is Taylor performing a play within a play–an ironic, 21st century rendition of the play within Hamlet? Are we actually seeing the life behind the Showgirl…or is she still on stage: performing for us, the heckling crowd?

Who really was the real Elizabeth Taylor?

With Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl releasing next week, Hailey explores the inspiration behind Taylor naming one of her unheard tracks "Elizabeth Taylor." Does Taylor relate to Elizabeth's toxic relationship with fame? Is she inspired by her star power? Is she intrigued by her long list of husbands (specifically SEVEN)?

This week, Hailey dives into the life of Elizabeth Taylor: her career, her seven husbands, her possible queerness, and if she was the real Evelyn Hugo.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged to be married!!! With fans rejoicing that Taylor has FINALLY been chosen and celebrating that it’s never too late to find love (even if you’re God forbid 35 years old)--we know, there may be more to this story, or performance, rather. This episode, I’m joined by “Performance Artlor” expert Sabrina Fleetwood!!! to discuss the theory that Taylor Swift is not just a performer onstage, but in the public eye as well. Today we’re doing a deep dive into this theory, dissecting the public’s reaction to the engagement (TM), and examining this new era of Taylor Swift’s performance, with her anticipated new album, The Life of a Showgirl.

My unfiltered thoughts on the ENGAGEMENT: here!

Wow. Just wow. Taylor Swift announced that her new album, TS12, will be called The Life of a Showgirl! With fans around the world rushing to find Easter Eggs in her announcement posts, one thing seems obvious (even to Tayvis stans distracted by The New Heights podcast): that Taylor Swift is embodying Ophelia on the album cover.

Will her fate, or rather, the showgirl version of herself’s fate, end up just like Ophelia’s? What if Taylor is BOTH Ophelia AND Hamlet in her story? And what if these connections don’t end at Hamlet…this episode, Hailey uncovers a whole new meaning to the statement: “Taylor Swift is the modern day Shakespeare.”

The ad campaign generated a wave of backlash due to undertones of eugenics and misogyny. But this isn't Sydney Sweeney's first brush with the threat of cancelation...This episode, Hailey (your host) tackles this monster of a controversy and explores why MAGA has taken Sweeney under their wing. She also talks Sweeney's previous controversies, from her selling her own bathwater, to a MAGA-themed birthday party.HAPPY SEASON 3 GASPERS!!!

Sabrina Carpenter is the latest celebrity this month to have a scandal! What in the pop culture! She came under fire this week for her new album's, "Man's Best Friend," cover that many fans have criticized for misogynistic themes. With her fans split on their reaction to the artwork, discourse regarding choice feminism, purity culture, and women's sexuality has taken over the internet.

On this week's episode, Hailey takes this controversy head on, providing some hot takes that some may not want to hear...

It’s Pride, and what does that mean? It means the bisexuals and lesbians are fighting. Again. Last week, almost as if TRYING to increase the tensions, Fletcher, the famously sapphic singer, “came out” as having a boyfriend by dropping her song, "Boy"–much to the aghast of fans and sapphics alike. Lesbians have called out Fletcher for her “trad-wife” marketing and poorly timed announcement, while bisexuals have called out lesbians for their reaction, saying it’s biphobic.

This week Hailey is joined by her close friend, Fletcher superfan, and fellow sapphic, Lexi, to weigh in on all of the controversy.

She's free!!! Taylor Swift announced HUGE news last week: that she has finally bought back her masters. Now, for the first time in her entire career… she owns all her work. As exciting and game-changing as this news is, it also means that the long-anticipated Taylor’s Version of Reputation will not happen.

In this week's episode, Hailey celebrates (and also digests) this news and investigates what Taylor might do now as a free woman: release Karma? re-do her sparkling summer? perhaps even come out??

Also happy Pride everyone!
