This week on Name 3 Songs we’re giving our reactions to the biggest news of the week(maybe the year?!) – that Taylor Swift and Matty Healy of The 1975 are dating. Our lives have been full blown chaos since the news of these worlds colliding. We’re breaking down the validity of an unnamed source that brought this story to light in The Sun UK, talking about the significance of this relationship if true, and weighing in with our personal thoughts on this pairing. And! We’re revisiting a previous episode. With the overwhelming popularity of blind items in the TikTok era, we thought it was worth a trip down podcast memory lane to discuss the way the tabloids treated popstars in the 90s and 00s – and what parallels we can draw to today.  Enjoy this episode?

There’s a certain art to interviewing and writing for cover stories – much of it comes from humanizing the subject. These stories are effortless to read, and you walk away feeling like you know the subject even better. But bad cover stories are missing much of the nuance. This week fans and journalists were calling out a particularly bad cover story that profiled Tomorrow x Together for GQ Hype. We discuss where this story went wrong and compare past profiles on TXT as well as Lana Del Rey’s recent Rolling Stone UK as evidence of good journalism. We consider how the publication’s audience and the experience of the journalist play into the approach and quality of the interview – and whether or not journalists should be fans to some degree.P.S. We’ll be on break for the next two weeks and back in your feed on April 9!Enjoy this episode? Join our Patreon community or leave us a tip on PayPal! Want to talk more?
