KENDALL JENNER ACCUSED OF CULTURAL APPROPRIATION AGAIN
It’s another day in cultural appropriation withKendall Jenner. This time, she’s coming under fire for her 818 Tequila ad. She shared a series of photos from an agave farm in Jalisco, Mexico, where she set up shop for the new venture. She’s rocking jeans, a cowboy hat, and a loose cotton shirt over a tank top – a look some refer to as “migrant chic.”’
The supermodel-turned-liquor company owner’s critics called her tone-deaf and encouraged people not to buy her product. A person of Mexican descent said, “We don’t want a White woman profiting from our culture.”

TAYLOR SWIFT CREDITED ON OLIVIA RODRIGO'S NEW ALBUM
Olivia Rodrigo is not shy to admit that Taylor Swift is one of her inspirations. Now she is admitting it on a larger scale, by giving Swift songwriting credit on her new album, "Sour."

There was no official collaboration on the song, however, the track interpolates "New Year's Day," Swift's closing song on her "Reputation" album.
