This week I’m flying solo (Erica’s out with food poisoning — send her love!) and diving into the delightful chaos of the internet’s reaction to our recent Taylor Swift take.

I unpack the Beyoncé comparisons, why I’m not here for the nonsense, and why I genuinely love making content that sparks convo.

Plus: thoughts on the motherhood penalty, a Love Island mess, and my personal top 5 live vocal performances of all time (shout out to Cynthia Erivo for the inspo).

It’s giving joy. It’s giving perspective. It’s giving one woman, one mic, and one very good time.
