Why Did Taylor Swift Give Out a Cold Shoulder?

 Taylor Swift gives a cold shoulder to an invite on her podcast Archetypes, further adding to a list of their failed projects this year.

Archetypes had a plan for season 2 as season 1 was a remarkable success. The podcast show which was hosted by the Duchess of Sussex talks about the stereotypes that hold women back. 

According to an article by wall street journal, Meghan wrote a personal letter to invite Swift for the podcast, however Taylor declined the offer through a representative.

Meghan had a difficult time selecting the guests for her podcast. Meghan was assisted by the Gimlet team at Spotify to come up with a guest list. The podcast managed to land high-profile guests such as Mariah Carey, Serena Williams and Paris Hilton.  

According to the publication, Meghan might have been the issue. As the Journal clearly details it, Meghan oftenly asked for adjustments late in the editing process. She even went out of her way to call senior spotify executives, forcing them to call producers to make modifications.

Their appetite for content is always overwhelming, but do they have a talent to show for it? Well, it takes one to be famous and another one to become a famous content creator. Harry also proved to have unrealistic expectations according to a Bloomberg article.
