Hello and welcome to In The Limelight, Vanity Fair's Entertainment and Pop Culture Podcast.

I'm Josh Duboff, Vanity Fair Senior Writer, and I'm here with Julie Miller, Vanity Fair's

Senior Hollywood writer.

On In The Limelight, we analyze the ins and outs of pop culture, entertainment, and celebrity from the past week.

From the Kardashians to Cape Middleton and everything in between.

On this week's episode, we have a bunch of incredible topics to dig into.

First of all, Sunday Night's Video Music Awards, hosted by Katie Perry, all sorts of interesting performances.

Taylor Swift's re reemergence has now

kind of taken hold of the pop culture sphere, so we're going to talk about that as well.

I can't wait to hear what Josh thinks about Taylor's like new music, everything. Also, we are

discussing Northwest's first magazine cover and interview.

Ladies and gentlemen, she is four years old, and she has already gotten a magazine cover.

We'll also discuss the meaning behind Jay-Z and Beyonce's twins' names.

Finally, Jay-Z has opened up about it, so we can be finished scratching our heads. But first we're going to discuss the

VMAs, which were on last night. Josh, I have to admit, I watched the opening. And then I was just

like, okay, I'm out. Wait, so you, did you get to, there were performances before katie perry started did you get to

katy perry i got to katy perry it started out with ed sheeran right when is that so it was it was

it was kentric lamar then ed sheeran then katy coming in from space oh god it was really bad and i feel like

they knew it was bad because they

sandwiched two performances before her. Like, I feel like after the first performance, when they

announced everyone that's going to be coming, you're kind of ready when they come back to have the host

monologue. But when that didn't happen, I was like, yikes. They know, they know something, though.
