Not a great week, if we’re being honest.
Kate and Tansy begin this week with the disturbing Cornell case and a bigger conversation about sexual assault, the myth of the “perfect victim”, the men who stay silent and why calling out your mates actually matters.
Then we desperately need a change of pace.
Kate has bought herself a vintage biscuit tin as a book push present, op shops are apparently now luxury retailers, Madonna has reminded everyone why she’s Madonna, and Taylor Swift fatigue has entered the chat.
Which leads Kate and Tansy to a theory: Madonna constantly reinvented herself. Gaga does it. Beyoncé does it. Has Taylor stopped evolving?
Plus Sabrina Carpenter, the VMAs, why the pop girls need to respect their elders and Tansy’s latest obsession: SNL UK.
Heavy, silly and slightly unhinged. Just another week that was.
