Hello homies and welcome to another episode of Easily Entertained. I am your host Maddy McClain. I am your dutiful pop culture sherpa. Your guidance on all things current,  on all things cool,  drink cool shooters, and Anyways, sorry. That was me trying to quote Mean Girls, because I did, in fact, go see the new reboot  of a reboot of a musical.

You know, people did say that they believed that they were a little bit misleading in their advertising for the new movie with Renee Rapp and, there are some guest appearances from the OGs, like Tina Fey has like a, has a supporting role. She's the same character. Miss Norbury.

Same with the principal. I don't know his name. Yeah, there's some fun little, fun little nuggets in there, and like, as long as you go in knowing that like, nobody's winning an Oscar for this performance, you'll have a great time. Well, that and I had to get rid of my attitude, if I'm being real,  because love me or hate me, I don't love musicals. 

So  when you see a musical, because by the way, that's how they misled is that it's a musical, the Broadway musical is no longer like live right now, but they did this movie based off of that. And they've done, I've seen videos of like back to backs of the characters singing once on Broadway and then in this movie.

And um,  Outside of Renee rap, the actors aren't necessarily singers.  Uh, yeah. But, I guess besides all that shit talking I just did on it, it's great! Go see it! Um, I had a great time still, you know. It's uh, it's still Mean Girls, and they've got some cute things about it. I ended up enjoying it, but um  Yeah,  just go in there knowing all of those things and you'll be just fine, just fine, or don't see it.

I don't know, but that's my dutiful, honest review.  It's fine, really. Yeah, can you imagine if they used like those comments, you know, like nobody got to choose which reviews were shown? Like highlighted, you know, on a, on a poster of a movie or like on the back of a book. It was just like,  you couldn't choose, so you had to play Russian roulette with like internet comments and stuff.

I mean, I think that would be more honest, right? But, not good for like money making, uh, businesses. You know what I'm saying, so.  Anywho, there's so much going on, as there always is, so we've got lots to talk about, lots to keep you updated on, and, uh, some entertaining shit, you know? That's what we do here.

That's what we do.  I am  I'm having a good day, you guys. It's finally beautiful outside for the last few days here in Austin. It was freezing cold, um, not too long ago, and then just gloomy and rainy and gross and gray.  And, you know, the  a fully healed human would say, you know, you've got to have the gray days so you can appreciate the.

The beautiful ones. And while that is true, yes,  I definitely like many others am incredibly affected by the weather.  There is a name for it. Seasonal depression, I believe it is. But I mean, my depression is full seasons. Like they don't take a season off, you know what I'm saying? So  around the clock, honey, but. 

You know, it tends to happen when the weather's shitty, right? Right? So, Depressy loves to hang out with the clouds down low, so.  But we're okay!  Despite how that may have made you wonder the contrary. I'm good. I'm good!  We're good. Um, my dog is in the background and just, just angrily flipped over while napping because I was too loud for him.

But, um,  he's just gonna have to suck it, I guess. Anyways, I love my dog, okay?  I love my dog.  And, uh, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, I was having a pretty good day. So the weather's beautiful. I'm about to go get some margaritas with some besties. So it's a good time and it's a even better time to just talk your ear off, keep you entertained, to keep you posted on all thangs, all thang a lang a rang a dangs.

And, um, please, please keep letting me know your thoughts, what kind of,  Info or topics you're interested in and so I can cater to you, honey. You know what I'm saying? I can cater to you.  Today, I will be catering to you. And we'll talk about some pop culture news, pop culture updates.  What I will remind you about is the absolute iconic power that is the couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

I almost said Taylor Kelsey.  I mean, it sounds great. It works. So obviously we're going to talk about the game heard around the world, watched around the world, Swifties and dads, brads and chads alike. We are going to just break down, okay, analyze, right? Um, The interactions, the PDA, the, the precious, adorable moments between the two, and of course, you know, now that Swiftiverse, is that a thing?

I don't think it is a thing, but if Swiftiverse is getting into football, I can too, okay? So, don't worry, we'll just Hit the stuff you want to hear about if you want to hear about football and I support that in fact I'm trying to learn more my brothers and my dad have probably Talked to me through like the ins and outs of the game itself many times growing up, but it just has never stuck you know, there's so many rules and they're different with college and professional But we're going to talk about that in preparation for the Super Bowl in preparation for, uh, Taylor and Travis's, basically, homecoming.

It feels like we're watching the homecoming king and queen, like, take their victory lap. You know what I mean? But people actually like them. Except Taylor's been getting a lot of hate. I mean, that's nothing new, but extra more so. I'm already diving into it. I'm excited to talk to you about it. We'll talk about that and I know some other crazy stuff that's been going on that happened to her.

She has a stalker. So, talk to you about the latest with Taylor Swift's stalker. And the kind of crazy fake, fake news scandal going around X, in parentheses, formerly known as Twitter. When the fuck are we gonna stop doing that? You know what I mean? Or when are we going to just revert back to Twitter? Elon?

Elon? Elon? Elon's busy putting chips into people's brains. So I guess that's slightly more important than his like side quest of  owning and conquering Twitter X, only to just  take it to the ground and stomp all over it. But um,  Yeah, Neuralink, he, he, the company Neuralink is working on chips for your brain for those that have, uh, either brain, you know, disabilities or cannot communicate that this is essentially a brain computer interface that would allow the neurons in your  brainwaves to direct this interface and for those that aren't able to communicate, now able to communicate, hopefully if it, If it, you know, works well on these humans, this, these human rats. 

No, they're great people and they're brave for doing it. I don't mean to blast them. It's mostly, that just shit just scares me. You know what I'm saying? There's already been some controversy with a few of Elon's other like ventures, Tesla in the factories, just some shady shit. But I mean, that's really cool, right?

Like all the geniuses are pretty crazy. And I guess this is our modern day genius.  Elon, you know what I mean? Like, I don't feel like Einstein had the outlet to let his freak flag fly. You know what I mean? Like, he didn't have TikTok. He didn't have YouTube. He couldn't go live on his Instagram.  Who knows? I totally think Einstein was probably a freak. 

I don't know. I, maybe it's written about. But, and if they told me about that in school, I feel like I would remember that.  I don't know. I don't know. I just need things to be taught to me in, like, reality TV format, maybe.  Back then, that would have been cool. That would have changed things up. Um, in Spanish class, we would watch telenovelas, and  Loved those days.

I'm sure the teacher did too. Anyways,  anyways, silly me, pop culture updates, you guys. We're going to talk about the Nicki Minaj and Megan The Stallion beef. It is very confusing to the, to the immediate onlooker, right? But I'm going to break that down for you. Why are they beefing? What song? What are the lines?

What's the history behind that? But they're going there. It's, it's like a,  A real rapper Rap Ale  . It's like a real, it's a legit rapper's quarrel.  If that's not a thing, that should be a thing. Instead of like a lover's quarrel, like a rapper's quarrel. You know, these things are old as time. Rest in peace, Tupac, right? 

Rest in peace. Biggie, 

uh,  yeah. Maybe we should stop having those. I don't know, but, um, it's definitely entertaining, so we're definitely going to talk about it and, uh, give you a little, a little sneak peek, at least what's illegally allowed for me to play for you, you know, but we're dissecting it for educational purposes, okay?

My mom was a lawyer, so, uh, I'm,  I'm knowledgeable somewhat, you know what? Anyways.  And, I forgot to mention, we will also talk about that new new.  That's the segment that we all love and know and adore and yearn for when we're trying to fall asleep at night. Where I tell you what's new in the music industry, TVs, movies, stream a verse, all the things.

And I'll tell you the things that I've been watching, and recommend, and things that, you know, maybe are fine, like the Mean Girls movie. So, I'm just gonna keep you on your toes all episode long. I hope you are here for it. I hope you buckle in. And let's do this motherf  I'm sorry, I'm trying not to coos so much. 

Let's do this thing, you guys! 

We'll start with that new new of this week and just recently, really.  Thankfully, it feels like after a time of a little bit of a dry spell when it comes to  new good movies and such outside of, you know, Barbenheimer. There are plenty coming out if you haven't seen, of course, Saltburn. Recommend, but definitely choose your movie watching partner wisely.

Okay, so yeah, someone you're comfy with, that's for sure. But one that has recently come out is called Argyle, which is coming out this Friday, February 2nd. And stars none other than Dua Lipa, as well as Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, and John Cena,  and Ariana DeBose. So, pretty, pretty solid cast.

And it seems to be kind of like a A spy, comedy, thriller, drama.  Um, but to give you a little bit more details on that, it says, according to Wikipedia and Google,  Reclusive author Ellie Conway writes best selling espionage novels about a secret agent named Argyle. Who's on a mission to unravel a global spy syndicate.

However, when the plots of her book start to mirror the covert actions of a real life spy organization, the line between fiction and reality begin to blur.  Yeah.  Alright. So, that's coming out.  It looks good to me, and lately I've just been really into going to physical movie theaters. I mean, I've always loved it, but  But, you know, we all took a little bit of a break from doing that for a few years.

Can't remember why, but,  yeah.  In terms of the small screen, there are a few series that I have my eye on that I've yet to watch, but have recently come out that I've heard. Great reviews and great things about, including Ex Pats, a miniseries on Amazon Prime Video.  Our girl Nicole Kidman is in this, and this is also,  what do you know, based off of a book, but it looks very good.

Um, let's see, it's set in Hong Kong. The plot orbits the abrupt disappearance of Margaret's youngest son during a nighttime market escapade. The convergence of three American women, their clandestine affairs, amorous entanglements, and deceit unfurls against the backdrop of the 2014 Umbrella Movement protests in Hong Kong. 

Margaret, who is played by Kidman, grapples with an overwhelming sense of culpability and desolation, while her companion, Hillary, maneuvers through the intricacies of a disintegrating marriage.  Yeah, so this looks good. Follows the lives of a close knit expatriate.  The Vibrant Lives of a Close Knit Expatriate  Expatriate O Ex  Patriate 

You guys, I can't say that word. Okay.  Expats,  which is just a fancy name for Americans visiting somewhere else.  And then, of course, I'm sure you've heard all about it or seen it on your Netflix homepage. But on January 25th, a new series called Griselda was released. And it stars Sofia Vergara, who everybody knows and loves from Modern Family.

And is the, is based on the true story of, um, a woman named Griselda Blanco who is essentially the Colombian woman version of, uh,  of, it'll be, the TV series will be like Narcos, um, but this is a true story and, um, I like that they cast a Colombian for, who's playing a Colombian. Woman, you know, especially when it gets Sticky in this kind of realm, but it looks really good and the reviews seem pretty solid So definitely something to stream this weekend if you're looking for a wreck,  although I haven't seen myself So I'll probably be doing that too.

What I have been watching I highly recommend The Trust if you haven't seen this on Netflix. It's a New reality show that is what they say, you know, all about greed and they basically like vote each other off in a reality TV style kind of Big Brother way  to  win the money of a trust. They start out all having equal shares of like 260k or something and You know, it has everything a good reality TV show needs.

I liked it. I liked it. I liked it a lot. So we can talk about that later too. And then music wise, I mean, personally, I love Kid Cudi. He released a new album, A few weeks ago, actually, but I had the chance to really listen to it, and I'm into it. Um,  check it out. And really, this is just for the shits and giggles, because I think this is hilarious.

So, Justin Timberlake released a new single, and this is his first. He's, you know, it's a precursor to his next album, and it's been quite a few years since his last album. But alongside the single Sanctified, he then released one called Selfish. And all of Britney Spears biggest fans trolled him and had the same title by Britney Spears, a song she released years ago, like 2015, I think, also called Selfish. 

And then had that, uh, song trend and  top the charts alongside Justin Timberlake's single The Same Name just to mess with him.  Yeah, afterwards Brittany told people like, Oh no, I wish the best. I kind of regret how harsh I was or anything that maybe offended him and yadda yadda yadda. So  I think we should all keep an eye on her.

I don't think she's out of the woods. Like, I don't know.  Still sketchy, but, uh, that's a mystery that perhaps we'll be solving another day.  In an epic pop culture crossover, Dads, Brads, and Shads, that is totally coined from Taylor, by the way, are colliding with Universal Swifties and the girlies and the gays, right?

Bringing a whole bunch of unlikely cast of characters together under one giant football dome of a roof.  I suppose lots of them don't have roofs either. Roofs. Roofs.  They don't have, they don't all have roofs. Anyways,  so, while we weren't clued in to the relationship and budding romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey until late 2023, sometime in September, I want to say, but it's been so heavily publicized that it feels far longer than that.

Feels like we've been waiting for this moment because I guess in her history, we kind of have, you know, I can understand. I suppose  I can. I can understand a football fans frustrations at the like continual constant coverage of Taylor in the stands throughout the games.  I can get that, I suppose, but  I can also understand more that, like, who cares, you know what I'm saying?

Like, she isn't asking for the pops, the paps, the  paparazzi, or whoever, or the NFL.  Or the NFL cameraman to, like, paying them to, you know, stalk her every move throughout the games is just what's going to happen. It's kind of,  kind of hard to avoid when you're, like, the most, arguably the most famous woman in the world a little bit.

Um, but, you know, she's supporting her ridiculously good looking, successful,  uh, NFL player boyfriend.  You know, what's a gal to do, who also, I mean, his style, like, I do think Taylor could use the assistance of whoever Travis Kelsey's stylist is, because as much, hold on, don't,  don't burn me to the stake.  As much as I love our mother Taylor, her style sometimes leaves me wanting a little bit more to be desired.

Then again, this is coming from somebody who is probably in athleisure about 85 percent of the time, so. But it's, it's, the two of them are like a good study in pop culture. This is what every  pop culture fanatic just yearns for. You know what I'm saying? It's just great. You see this collide, this of two massively powerful popular people and it's just kind of like a quick study in sociology and how people think and all of that good stuff.

Because it's interesting to see based on Taylor's history and Travis Kelsey's history.  Kelsey isn't new to the spotlight, obviously, you know, and neither is Taylor Swift, but the two of them together have such dramatically unique fan bases that are now existing in, like, the same storylines, right? The little plot lines are crossing over, and that didn't happen before on such a massive scale.

Travis Kelsey, for example, he was considered, or is considered, one of the very best Titans, heh heh. In the NFL, he's been on the Kansas City Chiefs for 10 years now. He was recruited in 2013.  So I mean, 10 going on 11 maybe, I don't know. And he also has an equally as famous brother, Jason Kelsey. Who is a center or was now, as he recently retired, announced his retirement from the Philadelphia Eagles. 

We're already working with, you know, they're not strangers to the spotlight. And even more so, as you probably have heard about, Travis Kelsey also had a reality TV dating show.  Centered, obviously, around him trying to find his next girlfriend, like, there was no, you know, money at the end of it, there was no proposal or anything like that, but back in 2016, Chasing Kelsey was his dating show, it premiered on E!

in 2016. I was reading this, uh, getting a little background from this, and the title of this article itself will just kind of describe how the man feels about it. Uh, it's the Travis Kelsey reality TV dating show he doesn't want you to see. Sorry, so now I'm telling. Everybody, um, where I can. But, um,  we all knew about this.

So, the athlete previously addressed the series while hosting Saturday Night Live in March. This is, quote, It was kind of like The Bachelor, except instead of roses, I handed out footballs. And instead of watching, people did not.  He's funny too, self deprecating, aware, we love, we love it. Case in point, that show is owned by NBCUniversal, so it should be on  Peacock, but Peacock said nah, we good.

At least that was true until Kelsey's actual dating life heated up and the streamer promptly made all seven episodes available. So, the show had 50 women from each state in the U. S. compete and on the first episode they all have 60 seconds to make an impression on Kelsey. And from there it was whittled down to 15 competitors where it kind of reflected that of somewhat of a bachelor style fashion, going on dates and then sending people home in a ceremony. 

Um, something I also found interesting more about Travis Kelsey is, uh, they said he was really chill on the show and pretty laid back and didn't seem all that nervous. Um, This is from the article again. Perhaps this zen vibe was achieved with some herbal assistance. A source recently told Page Six that Kelsey would often arrive to filming, quote, already well stoned.

He had his technique down because he would use eyedrops, the source added, laughing. He enjoyed a bit of marijuana. A rep for Kelsey didn't provide comment to the outlet, but the athlete who got a year long suspension for smoking pot while playing at the University of Cincinnati told Vanity Fair he estimates that anywhere from 50 to 80 percent of players in the NFL use cannabis. 

I mean,  spoiler for his dating show if you plan on watching it. Spoiler, skip ahead if, like, if you want to figure it out for yourself. But he ends up with this girl named Maya from Kentucky. Who apparently, allegedly, was the source of lots of drama on the show. Hmm, note this. But, they broke up about a month after the show aired, so.

And, she, like many of his exes now, I suppose, or at least I only know of two, have come out to comment on his relationship with Taylor Swift. I mean, I'll be, I'll be honest. If, if my ex ended up going on to date Taylor Swift after me,  I'd hate it too. I'd hate it too. So the girl, Maya, who was chosen from the reality show said, Taylor seems like such a fun girl with a beautiful spirit, so I wish her the best of luck, but I wouldn't be a girl's girl if I didn't advise her to be smart. 

Only time will tell, but like the saying always goes, once a cheater, always a cheater.  So I guess she's telling us all that Travis Kelsey is a cheater. Hopefully that's not the case.  I mean,  if he didn't get his act together for Taylor Swift, like, there really would be no hope, right? You know? Then again,  Beyonce's own husband cheated on her, so 

That's it. That's all I got for that.  Um, I found all this very interesting, and then his latest ex girlfriend, Kayla, Loves talking to the media, and um, there's the same headline currently, maybe she's, there's a new one, but that's just, oh, said over and over slightly differently in different ways about how she's quote, done with dating athletes. 

Just wanted to make sure the paparazzi, the media, and all of us knew that, so.  Got it, Kayla. I'm gonna hold you to it, girl.  Remember when they found Travis Kelsey's old tweets? They were so  juvenile, and so  So sweet. What the kids say, so baby girl.  So baby girl. They're, so baby girl. That's a thing people are saying about like people you want to protect.

I guess you really like a lot and then just give off like supportive, supporting women energy and also just  I don't know. That's at least my,  my breakdown of what that word means. Um,  I don't know if I'll be using it, but I just did. So, I don't know. Now, taking this guy, who I feel like those little more personal details  kind of paint a picture of who he is.

And he seems like a little goofy goober, a hot goofy goober. And then you've got Taylor,  who is a very smart businesswoman.  Successful and I mean, obviously she's gorge and creative. So we love it. And yeah, I would totally date Taylor Swift if I could like, can't you tell?  Um, yeah, there's just one thing wrong. 

So Taylor Swift's romantic life has always been In my semi humble opinion, the number one most talked about in the media and public.  When it comes to famous people, celebrities, from whatever walk of life, athletes, politicians, maybe. I truly think she has one of the most talked about love lives. But, unless you're Leonardo DiCaprio, because I think people talk plenty about, uh, who he's dating, babysitting.

Uh, putting these two powerhouses together provides this unbelievable amount of attention and focus on the couple, something that I could not imagine personally, but that would be something crazy to maneuver, but they truly seem to be thriving in it. They look so happy.  And Swifties know that the exes that she's had in the past have kept it somewhat private.

Like, there weren't many moments captured of them  going on dates. You see, like, the paparazzi photos of them, like, entering and leaving an establishment or whatever with any of her exes or people she's dated in the past. But we're, like, seeing this in live time, right? In such a huge I mean, I think world stage, but let's American stage at the very least, because it's American football, you know.

But now we're seeing this adorable, loving German, German shepherd. Maybe he is a German shepherd a little bit.  A little bit more oomph to him. I was going to say, you know, that the term like a golden retriever boyfriend who basically is just a really good boyfriend and is like, just in awe and fully supports and loves on their lady, hypes him up  and is like loyal and there. 

Cute and sweet and everything a Golden Retriever is, but I think yeah, maybe he is a German Shipper. Anyways, she deserves it. We love it seeing the two together and as many people have said it kind of does feel like the first, like the most normal.  Like dating experience. Taylor is probably at, you know, like she runs to see her boyfriend, her quarterback boyfriend, give him a hug and they're going to the super bowl.

Like that's big. Okay. And, um, you know, I gotta say, whenever I talk about celebrity couples, the truly bizarre. Nature of parasocial relationships just kind of smacks me in the face and I feel like really stupid sometimes.  For those who don't know, according to dictionary. com whips out glasses, the term parasocial relationship refers to a relationship that a person imagines having with another person whom they do not actually know, such as a celebrity or a fictional character.

This often involves a person feeling as though they have a close, intimate connection with someone whom they have never met due to closely following that person or character in media, such as TV shows, videos, podcasts, social media, etc. For example, a child may feel as though they are friends with a fictional character due to frequently watching the character on a show, or a fan may feel as though they have a relationship with a pop star due to their emotional investment in the star's career and personal life. 

Yeah.  Though parasocial relationships are often considered common, they may be considered unhealthy when they become extreme enough to interfere with real life relationships or daily life.  Yeah, that's a whole thing that  will probably take on another dimension. Like, do you call it a parasocial relationship when we're all, like, in the metaverse whenever that happens?

Whenever we make fetch happen with that?  You know, when you meet them in the, virtually?  Just a thought. I don't know. I don't know. Just a thought. So back to football. Weird. Didn't think I would say that on this podcast. The championship playoff game between the Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens hand delivered a now very iconic photo, well set of photos from like every angle, of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey being all cute and shit on the field, embracing, having a little kiss.

Celebrating that Kansas City win. If you saw me tear up uncontrollably and then quickly shame myself for it. No, you didn't. No, you didn't.  It was so cute and little moments that are caught, like, covering their mouths while whispering to each other,  which, um, screamed media trained pros, honestly. Like, if that doesn't show it, it's a week.

Because, clearly, as we saw from, I think it was the Emmys, where suddenly the internet all became, like, collective,  uh, what is it? Whispering  experts? Lip reading experts. Yeah, that's the one. Some people got their panties twisted and wad over this. And all the attention that surrounded them, but like, come on, uh, we're living, like, this is our homecoming king and queen, give them some respect, right? 

Plus, haters, they'll always be, there's always those people in a crowd, it's just that they scream the loudest, right? You know?  Like on either side, the, the crazies on the ends of the spectrum are always the loudest, but um.  Like, get over it, gay, you know? Immediately following this, by the way, just so we know now, the Chiefs,  okay, they are now advancing to the Super Bowl  and playing the 49ers, the San Francisco 49ers, which will be held on Sunday, February 11th, in Las Vegas. 

Which brings us to the most asked question, apparently, that I, I mean,  nobody sleeps these days, like, immediately following the game. Saw the same headline across, like, Will Taylor make it to the Super Bowl?  To cheer on boyfriend Travis Kelsey? I mean, well, I was curious, so I clicked it, and it seems like, and I'm telling you, people got deep and dirty with it, like, using a dry erase board, breaking it down, doing the time zones, and the travel time, and all of that, and um,  from what I gathered, it seems that the internet has collectively agreed that it is possible that, The Taylor will be there because Taylor Swift is playing a show on Saturday, February 10th, and the day before, in Tokyo. 

But Tokyo is 17 hours ahead, the flight's 14 hours, and if she leaves, Directly after takes a flight and I'm sure she has Taylor Swift's like,  what is it? Aviation something. People are actually gotten mad at her for using her private jet too much, I guess, but Anywho, so yeah, sounds like she will be there.

Um, with the 49ers, their, their big kind of, at least most talked about popular player is Joe Purdy. Uh, he was the last one drafted when he was, um, drafted into the 49ers, I believe. Directly from there. And whoever is drafted last there deemed Mr. Irrelevant for the season. Or maybe for their life, so.  That sucks.

Usher is the halftime performer. Womp womp. Womp  womp. That's all I have to say about that.  So yeah, Super Bowl baby. I think far more women will be interested in, uh, in this year's game. And,  I mean, like, good for the NFL, they're sure happy that they've got Taylor to help with their ratings, for sure. I mean, Mrs.

Economy right there, she runs it, baby. But, outside of all of that, and still some of that, Taylor can't seem to catch a break.  Last week, her known stalker was finally arrested outside of her New York City home, only to be let off on bail.  And for that to happen two more times  back to back to back. Yeah. So he was arrested three times over the span of five days.

Um, reading from a USA today article. So according to court records, David Crow, who is her known stalker, now faces numerous charges, including stalking, harassment, and criminal contempt. On Wednesday, a judge granted a temporary order of protection and charged Crow with criminal contempt in the second degree.

Meaning he was being disobedient to or disrespectful toward a court of law.  Andrew Warshower,  not Warshower, Warsh  A deputy chief in the New York County District Attorney's Office said Crow willfully disobeyed the order of protection.  Photographic and video evidence showed Crow returning to a dumpster near Swift's apartment after being released from arraignment Wednesday. 

And, uh,  when they asked him, or somebody, somebody looking out for Taylor, I suppose maybe a neighbor, asked him what he was doing and he said he was looking for a pair of pants that he lost, I suppose, when he was arrested the first time.  Uh, yeah, he's not well in the head. Sorry, not something to laugh about, but anyways, that's scary.

That's the scariest part of being, like, that famous, you know?  Stalking is scary.  Not only this, but then earlier this week, too, a bunch of, maybe AI assisted, but  AI created deep, fake, explicit images, and I, some videos, maybe, started circulating quickly on X last week and amassed over 27 million views before it was finally removed from the platform, and this is because, ultimately, some rando created fake Corn.

Corn. Of Taylor Swift. How scary. And it can look very accurate. I mean, I didn't see it.  But, uh, Yeah, that is a real thing that's going on. Not only to just Taylor Swift, but to Innocent young women. So that's definitely something to look out for. The good news is that the FBI is somewhat Usually, able to track down the originating source IP address of whoever's, you know, dispersing these, but there's so much about this dark web and dark internet that I don't know and that lots of bad actors do, so,  yeah.

They removed it down from Twitter, X, whatever, and the search function for Taylor Swift was just not working or disabled. Um, following the scandal of the fake photos, so. And now it's back and, you know, whenever there's new technology, there's new,  new worries, new fears. So it's been a very active, active, uh, week for Taylor Swift and her, probably her PR team too.

So, yeah. 

Drama abounds  this week, homies. It abounds this past week. There has been lots of drama, lots of, uh, beefing and disc tracks released, particularly between one Nicki Minaj and one Meghan the Stallion. And look, I have historically been a barb. Okay? The barbs are like Nicki Mina's fan base, but apparently Barbs are known to be a very, uh, loyal.

And aggressive fan base. I mean, goes with the territory. It's Nikki, right? So Nikki has had alter egos throughout her rapping. She's got Roman Polonsky, who actually, I found out, is the name of a disgraced film director. That's one personality. Another personality is Wait, let me say this from this article I got.

Because otherwise  I'll probably mess with it. Okay. Yes.  I thought there were like three Uh alter egos she had but maybe going to the Nicki Minaj Fandom or like wiki page was not the way to go because it's almost just too much information. These are super fans super base  Uh, because we got Chun Li, we know Chun Li, Barbie Bala, female Wheezy, the Harajuku Barbie That's one of the Barbies.

Yeah, it's Harajuku Barbie. It's a big one. Lapdance Nika, N I K A. Martha Zolanski, to discipline her son Roman. Roman! That's, uh, Nikki the Roman. That's Roman Polanski. Nikki Lewinsky. I didn't know that was one. Uh, of course, Nikki Minaj. Of course, of course. Nikki Teresa, also known as the Healer. Nikki the Boss, Nikki the Ninja.

Okay, yeah, they named all those. Nicole Norman.  What? Annika, Point, Dexter, Queen, Sleaze, Roman, Zolanski,  Romania, Rosa, Tyrone, and Red Ruby from Red Ruby the Sleaze.  Okay,  that's a lot of personalities. That's a lot of personalities. So, anyways, I, that is. I didn't need to know all of that, all of those, but I suppose, anyways, okay, probably neither did you, but the more you know, the better, and maybe we'll win some trivia that way,  you know what I'm saying?

Where did all of this beef begin, you ask? Well, apparently, in the past, there have been tensions boiling there. Also, Nicki Minaj just likes to fight,  uh, anyone with a beating heart. So she's not very picky. She knows she usually is picking a fight that could be part of her many personalities, right? And you can always blame them on Chun Li or, uh, Nikki the Ninja, you know, or Nikki the Harajuku boss. 

I swear I love Nikki, but the more I looked into this stuff, honestly, and I think that's part of the problem and why she's reacting so crazily, is a lot of it's not making me really It's making me want to return my, my membership card a little bit, you know, like, uh, it's getting hard to support you.

Anyways, we'll get to why it's getting hard and a little cringy.  So they've had a little bit of some sort of tension there because her even bigger Nemesis, Nicki Minaj, is Cardi B.  And honestly,  if we're just talking about talent, I would pick Nicki Minaj like tenfold over any female rapper, really.

Especially, namely, I would pick Nicki Minaj over Cardi B. Megan Thee Stallion, unclear. She's, she's a fellow Texan, so. She's from Houston. But anyways, so tensions really boiled over. When Megan Thee Stallion drops Hiss, it takes aim a little bit at Nicki and her family, allegedly. But she never ever says Nicki Minaj outright.

Like it's not, for me, like for the average listener and the average fan, if we heard this, you wouldn't immediately think of or think of Nicki Minaj maybe at all, ever. By her, you know, barking back, she kind of,  she kind of admits it, takes it on. So there were no names mentioned in Megan's single. Um, but what she says is, These hoes don't be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan's law.

Megan's law is a real law that exists that is A federal law, can I say law one more time, that requires police to share information with the public about convicted and registered sex offenders. It was named after Megan Kanka, a seven year old, who was a victim in 1994 by a neighbor, who was also a convicted child molester. 

Yeah, so Megan's law is a real thing, and the reason that people started getting any sort of inkling that this was directed at Nicki Minaj,  Is because it appears that Nicki Minaj's husband, Kenneth Perry, is a registered sex offender who has previously served four years in prison after he was convicted of attempted,  uh,  grape in 1995 and was put on probation then later in 2022  for failing to register as a sex offender in California.

Yeah. And also, apparently, Nicki Minaj's brother has also had similar  run ins with the law for similar reasons, too.  Which is pretty messed up, obviously. That doesn't even really need to be said, but you are who you associate yourself with, though, so. Especially when said person is your husband. I didn't know all that.

And in the past,  in their history, this song was already released, but there is Nicki Minaj's Red Ruby to the, Red Ruby to Sleaze,  which I actually love. Um, but she mentions Megan Thee Stallion in a, in kind of a different way. She says, 700 on the horses when we fixing to leave, but I don't mess with horses since Christopher Reeves.

Basically,  okay, so here Nikki references Christopher Reeve, an actor who became paralyzed after being thrown from a horse during an equestrian competition  in May 1995. The accident resulted in him having to use a wheelchair and ventilator for the rest of his life. This line also acts as a diss to rapper Megan Thee Stallion since she was born the same year as Reeve was injured and Thee Stallion.

It's another word for a horse. These, the two rappers have had beef between them since Megan collaborated with Cardi B, one of Nicki's most prevalent rivals, on the controversial 2020 track WAP.  Yeah, that's a deep cut. You really gotta know, like, it's layered. What a nuance. Guess we can give her that. So, yeah.

So Megan drops this, right? This was released on Friday. Late January of 2024, whenever you're listening to this. And honestly, it bops, alright? It bops. So, in response, Nicki Minaj,  who now desperately needs her internet privileges removed, taken away, she also allegedly sues like crazy, so, this is all alleged. 

Heh heh. Anyways, so in response, Nicki Minaj drops Bigfoot.  This diss track, as much as I was ready for Nikki to just, ha, hit him back with a bop, you know, at least give us a really good song, she didn't. She basically threw out the song, so Bigfoot is a reference to Megan Thee Stallion because her ex, Tory Lanez, shot Megan Thee Stallion.

By her foot, and relatively recently, like in 2023, he was convicted, like he was taken to court, taken to trial, and, um,  he was sent to prison for shooting Megan Thee Stallion. So basically her diss track, Nicki Minaj, is all about, yeah, you got hit, yeah, you got shot in the foot, so,  and you're tall, and you got shot in the foot.

Then, also, references the death of Megan Thee Stallion's mother, saying, swearing on your dead mother when you lie, and, How the F do you get shot with no scar? So Nicki Minaj is just like is going crazy but it just gets weird in the song because then for the last like minute and a half Nicki Minaj is 

and Talking  really slow  for a minute and a half 

Yeah, and made me feel a little uncomfortable and apparently same with everybody else because it's it's awkward Oh, yeah. And then also claims that Megan has slept with her best friend's partner and has ghost writers and all this stuff. So,  to that, Megan Thee Stallion has not responded to Bigfoot, except she has, in kind of a baller way.

There's just a photo of her laughing, um, that she put up on her Instagram story, and she called into, uh, The Breakfast Club, which is a show with Charlemagne the God, and basically was like, Yep, well If it makes you feel a way, it makes you feel a way. So this is for anybody who uses my name to get attention. 

So that's where we're at now. I was, you know, scrolling my TikTok as, as one does. And there are these girls that make content called blind, blind items, which are reporting on basically gossip, like  quote insiders. So people's families and friends of, of pop stars and celebrities will make these claims or whatever and submit these to like public forums and stuff and they're not like vetted or verified or whatever, but a lot of them have come true.

It's kind of like do more if you've heard of that, but anyway,  so some creators will just read these off and obviously that can be very damaging. It's a lot of damaging stuff, but it's just on the Internet and they say alleged. Alleged, alleged, up the butt. And, um,  there was one about Nicki Minaj and alleged substance issues.

And Nicki Minaj just went crazy at like this somewhat, like, it's not a huge creator either. I think it's celebrity blinds on TikTok, if you're curious. Comments, just this crazy shit, like she's going back at this, at this girl on TikTok just with all these kind of  Incoherent disses, like truly,  it's, uh, yeah, really embarrassing, and it's, it's giving, um,  Kanye energy, you know, it's, uh, not as dramatic and not as scary necessarily in that sense, but, um,  it's very much giving that.
