Was Billie Eilish Outed + New York Times Speculates On Taylor Swift’s Sexuality

This week on Name 3 Songs…

⚡ ️Fangirl Nonsense: The Golden Globes were full of celeb crossover moments including Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White being wholesome friends, Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jennier being stupidly in love, and Selena Gomez spilling the tea with Taylor Swift

⚡ Jeremy Allen White’s recent Calvin Klien campaign made its way to the Golden Globes red carpet multiple times over. Celebrities, including The Bear’s co-star Ayo Edebiri, were asked to react to the Calvin campaign to much dismay and discomfort. How far has journalism shifted that red carpet interviews are now being turned into clickbait content?

⚡ Billie Eilish claims she was “out” by Variety on the red carpet at Variety’s Hitmakers event last December. The red carpet reporter and senior producer at Variety appeared on Shannon Beveridge’s Gayer Than Ever podcast to tell her side of the story. Tiana shared her intention to create a safe space to talk about queer stories, as a queer journalist. But do good intentions cross over to celebrity interviewing and red carpets? We talk about the assumptions made from both Tiana and Billie, and whether lines were crossed. 

⚡ Taylor Swift’s sexuality was questioned in the New York Times when guest writer Anna Marks published her 5,000 word op-ed on the topic. This comes after Anna’s op-ed on Harry Styles’ sexuality in 2022. While Swifties have been sharing theories of Gaylor online for years, there’s a different gravity when one of the most renowned publications in the world airs these opinions.
