Tuesday, June 25, 2024 • Duration 47:18
With Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Renee Raap, Charlie XCX and Taylor Swift dominating the headlines this summer there's so much to get into. Who is horny for who?

Producer Kristina Lopez and Associate Producer Jerrin Padre join Chelsea for a retrospective, celebrating how queer and empowered our artists are now, and just how much has changed since 2004, when icons like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, Mandy Moore and Pink were our reigning divas.
