This week on It’s Ben A Week, the studio is loud, shady, and glitter-covered as Ben is joined by Bryan and Jon from the podcast Out Loud and Laughing. The mics heat up instantly as the trio dives into Taylor Swift’s new album, Life of a Showgirl — breaking down lyrics, Easter eggs, and why she has the best marketing team.
From there, nothing is off limits — Housewives drama, murder hypotheticals, Caitlyn Jenner rants, pop culture meltdowns, and the eternal question: if you could get away with it, who’s your first victim?
📌 In this episode:
- Taylor Swift’s Life of a Showgirl — first impressions, hidden meanings, and her amazing PR team
- Housewives franchises: best seasons, biggest villains, and most iconic meltdowns
- Caitlyn Jenner’s latest antics and why she might be trolling all of us
- Murder hypotheticals — who, why, and how (don’t call the cops)
- The art of the pop culture drag: from “she’s over” to “she’s iconic” in 48 hours
- Every gay gets ONE diva
- Who’s got the most unhinged fan base — Swifties, Housewives fans, or Beyonce?
