Ep 10 – Utica and Marketing Influencer Break-ups with Sweet Tea

For our season one finale, Britney Shields is joined by none other than her southern sister Sweet Tea, fresh off their show-stopping weekend performing together at Lake Arrowhead Pride alongside legends Mayhem Miller and Jewels from Long Beach. We kiki, we recap the magic of the mountains, and we celebrate a season of It Girl history. What’s the Sweet TEA indeed!

Sweet Tea opens up about her powerful journey — from Florida to LA — a path marked by profound personal loss, surviving a hate attack, and ultimately finding community and joy in drag. (You can see more of her story in her must-watch documentary.)

And of course, we spiral through the cultural chaos of the week:

• Miley’s Hannah Montana announcement — she’s just being Miley (again)
• Gavin Newsom’s parody tweets — what reality are we living in?
• Nicole Collier’s defiant stand in Texas — again… what is happening?
• Utica’s success on Project Runway — is another crown in her future?
• The influencer break-up heard around the gay algorithm – whether we like it or not
• Related: Connor Franta and Troye Sivan TBT – the twinks are fighting
• The internet’s obsession with the male Vikings cheerleaders
• Skirt-gate in Atlanta — are the straights coming for our gigs?

Thank you to every single listener who tuned in, subscribed, and spread the gospel of It Girl this season. You’ve made this show bigger, gayer, and glossier than we ever dreamed.

Stay tuned, babes — big announcements are coming soon. The It Girl era is just getting started.
