Taylor's Still a Menace + The Worst Week in Brand Marketing + Dolly Parton's Legacy

Taylor remains a menace, and thank God.

Hello and welcome to Queen Things.

I am your host, KJ Miller.

I am a founder, a lecturer, and a content creator.

And as you all know by now, a Swifty.

And Taylor, once again, being the menace she is, blessed us with a new performance and a new interview.

And yes, yes, we are going to talk about it.

What else are we going to talk about today? We're also going to talk about...

Some of the recent business mishaps from a number of brands, including Callaway and Good Good, both golfing brands, whatever.

I don't much care about golf.

I do care about a recent ad that they put out.

I also want to talk about a brand called Love Sack.

They made a decision to respond to a creator, I think, terribly.

And I want to talk about that.

Yet another brand I was not familiar with.

I want to talk about Tarte Cosmetics, a brand I am very familiar with.

They're in my lane, in my industry, the cosmetics industry.

They also have made some interesting decisions recently, you know? As a business person, you know, who does business, I do have thoughts on all of those.

And though this is not a business-focused podcast, I used to have one of those, I want to get into some of that.

What else? Dolly Parton has passed away.

I want to talk a little bit about Dolly and what she has personally meant to me.

She's meant so much to so many people, but I want to tell you about what she has meant to me.

Oh, and then I guess I might have a little bit to share about Meghan and Harry.

I don't know if you saw the news about them.

They have moved back to the UK.

So I might want to touch on them.

And as always, I'm going to end with what I'm reading.

So let's get into it right after our announcements.
