Suddenly you look around and Halsey is gone, the emo aesthetic has vanished, and there are no 'girlies going out on the town' anthems to be found... Lately it's been a lot of: barbie doll, pink, my man, my man, my man. What the hell happened ladies? I'm investigating the 1950s transformation that swept up female pop stars in the last few years and why all their rebrands are looking pretty similar. Olivia Dean, Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo I'm looking at you! Patreon Youtube Merch

Congratulations Mrs. and Mr. Swift on the fabulous show, sorry, wedding of the decade! Yes, I am entertained. Their Manhattan wedding loudly proclaimed to the whole city/world their married news (in lavender, I add), yet we still have no real pictures or video of this exciting occasion. So far the details leaked are: Lena Dunham said something gay, Karlie Kloss went, love is love... oh wait why is all of the news out of this wedding so gay!!! This episode, I cover literally all of it and investigate the bigger show. Let me convince you to wait for the encore... Patreon! Youtube! Merch!

Happy Pride to us! In the cinematic universe of Taylor Swift, big things are happening, and it looks like Gaylors are on top: Karlie Kloss attending the Tayvis wedding?! MSG being the ceremony location?! A new song that somehow is gayer the more you listen to it?! Oh my! In this episode, I'm unpacking Taylor's new song through lyrical analysis and presenting my theories/predictions on what this all means and what's about to happen. Will she start a record label? Will this wedding even happen? What about Debut? Let me know if you agree with my theories :) Pride Merch! Youtube Patreon

Lights, music...apathy? Why did the artists DELIVER this year at Coachella, yet the crowd was frighteningly quiet? We saw some powerhouse performances and guests brought onto stage only to be met by seemingly bored influencers with their phones in the air. Is Coachella dying? Or is Weekend 2 the real concert that's actually thriving? This episode, I recap 2026 Coachella and theorize about the future of the festival and the divide created by the influencer economy. I of course deliver my hot takes on all the major performances, including Sabrina, Justin, Katseye, Addison & more! Youtube Patreon

Harry Styles did something on SNL two weeks ago that awoke Larry shippers from their deep hibernation. The ice has melted, spring has sprung, and Harry Styles is out (at least as not straight.) However, those who are experts on the subject know this is not even close to the first time Harry has attempted to come out. On this week's episode, I rate every major gay moment of Harry Styles, from the ancient texts of One Direction interviews, to his latest lyrics, on stage moments, and outfits. Youtube Patreon

It's all over the internet: the video of Cynthia Erivo swooping in like a lesbian knight to save Ariana Grande from a crazed fan.

Does Glinda really swing for the green?” Who's to know... but this episode we'll unearth the most lesbian moments from the Wicked Press Tour aka fever dream. Talkspace Patreon Youtube

Victoria has a little secret...she's a sapphic. For 5 decades, Victoria's Secret has held the role of the arbiters of sensuality, or rather the fantasy of female sexuality, showing women what they should look like to be deemed sexy by the male gaze. At first look, Victoria’s Secret seems like a company for straights by straights. But with a closer look, we can see the secret held so dearly by Victoria. This episode, we’re unearthing that secret and digging into the camouflaged lesbian subtext of the brand, the hyper femme Angels, the real relationships, and the VS cruising culture that is hidden in plain sight.

It's been 1 full year of my podcast! Thank you so much! To celebrate, my Spotify subscription is now just $1. Please enjoy this gift from me to you <3 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? Subscribe on Youtube: here ! My Patreon: here ! Support: here !
