Summary
It’s Pop Culture Thursday, and Jared is dishing a headline buffet straight from Page Six. He dives into the Taylor Swift multiverse — from her “announcement of an announcement” album drop to Marvel-movie-level Easter eggs that keep superfans in overdrive. Jared riffs on Swift’s internet tribalism, the romantic economics of dating her (hi, Travis Kelce), and even a snake-related bathroom demolition courtesy of Zoe Kravitz. Along the way, he skewers wild fan theories, Martha Stewart’s Real Housewives shade, and Leonardo DiCaprio’s so-called “mortified” pat-down. Add in Dua Lipa birthday buzz, a Vanity Fair shake-up, and one eyebrow-raising Kelly Clarkson ex subplot, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts gossip, comedy, and “did he just say that?”
