This week on Queen Things, we’re saluting Rep. Jasmine Crockett for speaking truth to power, and side-eyeing the chaos that is Texas politics right now.

Then we’re revisiting Justin Timberlake’s rough live performances (and the chronic illness reveal that came after), unpacking why Sydney Sweeney’s brand of basic isn’t hitting, and breaking down Chappell Roan’s “no album for five years” announcement — is that pop stardom… or pop purgatory?

Also on the docket: Beyoncé vs. Michael Jackson. Is Queen Bey actually in a league of her own at 43? We get into it — and yes, we brought data. Plus a Cynthia Erivo appreciation moment (Jesus Christ Superstar, anyone?) and some serious confusion over the latest VMA nominations.

We laughed, we yelled, we might’ve cried — and we definitely crowned some queens.
