Summary

This week, Kate is solo (and has the plague!) as we kick off 2023 with a Katelilah episode where she answers listener voicemails and is thrilled to have someone to talk to in isolation. Topics include discussing the trend of having style “words,” personal style evolution, the Tiktok trend of dressing your mom, top internet sleuthing tips, Kate’s thoughts about internet detectives going too far, the evolution of celeb paparazzi shots, Taylor Swift being driven by accolades/success metrics and guessing her Enneagram, some thoughts on how vanity metrics drive people in general after we no longer have grades for institutional validation, she also talks about “nice guy” syndrome in response to a listener being treated transactionally on a date, among other things. Enjoy and Happy New Year!
