About this episode

Maureen Callahan discusses the extravagant wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, critiques Lena Dunham's attention-seeking behavior, and notes the absence of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

Maureen Callahan gives a full breakdown of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Madison Square Garden wedding circus, including the tacky decor, the endless celebrity guest list, and childish party games. She also discusses how the over-the-top production that practically shut down the west side of New York City during a heatwave and busy holiday weekend, Lena Dunham doing whatever she can to get attention, and points out that Taylor's ex-bestie Blake Lively and her psycho arsonist husband Ryan Reynolds were noticeably absent from the festivities. Then Maureen gives a recap of her recent trip to London, reads Troublemaker feedback, and more.
