  • A Halftime Show I'll Never Forget: Super Bowl LX

    On this bonus episode, I give her take on the unforgettable party that was the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show! Family, friends, food, culture-everything about Bad Bunny's performance was truly one in a million. Hands down, it's one of the greatest halftime shows in history! It felt like there was a party in my living room.

  • The Age of Addison | S3E3

    As one of the biggest TikTok personalities in the world, Addison Rae has never had the problem of capturing the attention of a global audience. However, over the years, she has grown to be quite the multi-talented Gen Z’er, showcasing her stardom on the big screen and in music, most recently with her bright, Y2K-inspired debut, Addison. A record full of throwback pop vibes, Addison teaches us listeners to be as free-spirited and fun as possible for as long as possible, while never losing the spark and authenticity that makes us as special as we all are.

  • Welcome To The Park | S3E2

    Kelsea Ballerini has become a shining example of how to grow up. Through the good times and bad times. Through the mistakes and best decisions. And on Mount Pleasant, it’s not just a very well-crafted EP of six songs: this is a journey into the exciting unknown. A free-falling paradise of feelings explored and new ones introduced. And in the words of Kelsea Ballerini, “Welcome to the park, friends.”

  • He’s Destroying You…

    OH. MY. GOD! This season 3 premiere of Tell Me Lies has been the craziest rollercoaster I’ve seen in a LONG time. I mean, Stephen, Lucy, the secrets, the emotions-everything has been so cuckoo crazy, I’ve felt like my brain was going to explode from the gaslighting.

  • Lights, Camera, Heartbreak | S3E1

    Just three years after the end of her Parisian era that comprised of her Singular records, singing savant Sabrina Carpenter returned with her most emotionally raw record, emails i can’t send. It was very dramatic, humorous, and reflective, and everything-from the musical style to Sabrina’s personal style-was so different and indie. It was like watching the movie of Sabrina Carpenter’s life, but in audio form, and was certainly a journey. Now, we’re almost four years past emails, containing a flirty Christmas EP, a summer fun (GRAMMY-winning) sixth album, and jaw-dropping seventh record within that time span, and we’re gonna revisit some of the amazing songs from this impactful album on our season 3 premiere!

  • Giving thanks...to Dancing With The Stars!

    If there's one thing I was grateful for this Thanksgiving, it was the 34th season of Dancing With The Stars! I know it may sound silly, but this very show has always been so special to me, and I think this season matched that tenfold. So, here's my Thanksgiving message for DWTS!
