<p>It&#39;s Mini Episode Wednesday, and the pop culture group chat is officially open. </p><p><br></p><p>This week I dive into new reporting surrounding the Taylor Swift smear campaign and why it’s shifting the online conversation. I also touch on major moments in pop culture, including the buzz around The Moment trailer and Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour making history as the highest-grossing solo tour of the year.
