What was millennial girl power really about?
The 1990s and the following decade were, it is widely agreed, a bad time to be a girl. Which is strange, because a girl seemed like the best thing you could be then. Certainly better than being a woman. Not as good as being a boy or a man, of course, but since those were out of the question (gender fluidity was still a nascent proposition), you might as well lean into girlhood. For millennial girls like me and Sophie Gilbert (a Pulitzer-nominated staff writer on the Atlantic), this was a confusing period. On the one hand, girls were everywhere. We became teenagers to chants of 'girl power!', and later we got our vision of young adulthood from the Lena Dunham series Girls. 'Girl' was an identity with potential. On the other hand, it's hard to avoid just how porny a lot of the uses of 'girl' were. The Girls Gone Wild softcore DVD series turned young women's drunken lapses into permanent, purchasable shame. The phrase 'girl on girl' comes from pornography, where it denoted lesbian scenes. Gilbert uses it here to refer to the self-loathing and anti-sisterhood this period inculcated. 'Empowerment' was the watchword of the millennial girl, but what exactly was she empowered to be? Primarily to be sexy – as Gilbert lays out in this comprehensive analysis of the era's pop culture. A girl could be anything as long as she was pleasing to a man. And God forbid she do anything so crass as grow up. Good girls stayed young. Gilbert acknowledges that this isn't a simple story of backlash. The teen comedies of the period, for example, really were a step up from the 1980s versions, when even the sainted John Hughes played rape as a punchline. American Pie (1999) was crude but charming, and its makers by their own account were trying to write girls with 'more depth'. But that could still mean 'as shallow as a teaspoon'. The female characters of American Pie are all, as Gilbert points out, porn archetypes: sexy cheerleader, hot nerd, horny exchange student (who ends up a victim of revenge porn before revenge porn had a name, something the film treats as a joke). The girls act as the obstacles between the fratty heroes and their objective: sex. They are the gatekeepers of virginity, 'the ultimate prize for any man worthy of claiming it'. In fashion, statuesque supermodels such as Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford were dislodged by the often underage and always underfed waifs. 'Fashion designers grew tired of dealing with the top models, who knew what they were worth and whose fame often overshadowed the clothes. Designers preferred girls.' So did photographers like Terry Richardson, who brought porno chic to high fashion and liked to photograph himself in flagrante with the models. His aesthetic – 'not quite art or porn or fashion photography but a hybrid of all three that kept insisting it was also a big joke' – defined the look (and the moral tone) of the era. Meanwhile, the advances that women had made in the music industry in the early 1990s were abruptly reversed. The punky, confrontational Riot Grrrl movement collapsed under hostile media coverage but lived on when their 'girl power!' slogan was hijacked by the male-svengali-manufactured Spice Girls 'in such a way as to neutralise feminism'. It's worth noting that the Spices ditched their management to successfully and profitably control their own careers, which sounds powerful to me. Nonetheless, Gilbert is right that they represented the renewed dominance of producer-led pop (meaning male-led, because most producers were male). Music channels became a 'gateway to porn. The more sexualised female artists were, the better'. All of which makes it rather surprising that when writing about the porn industry itself in this period, Gilbert steps away from her argument to reassure the reader: 'I'm not interested in kinkshaming, and I'm not remotely opposed to porn.' To which, given all the evidence she arrays in this book, a reasonable person might respond: why not? There's a similar moment of liberal etiquette overwhelming political nous in a chapter on reality TV. Gilbert astutely notes that in these shows, 'exterior womanhood is work' – something constructed through clothes and procedures. But then she argues that this made the genre welcoming to trans women, as though this is an entirely positive feature rather than a vivid illustration of gender identity's misogyny. It's depressing that even now a critic as wide-ranging and incisive as Gilbert can be seen flinching at the acceptable limits of the discourse. In a book that argues convincingly that millennial pop culture conditioned women to 'meticulously present themselves for mass approval', it's a shame to find the author still occasionally contorting herself to avoid upsetting men.

Sweet Move on Date Night: Travis Kelce spotted supporting Taylor Swift—See the Video
Swifties are loving the new moment that took place between Travis Kelce and their idol Taylor Swift . The sweet moment between the couple is taking over the internet in waves. The pop singer and her NFL player boyfriend, Travis, were out on a date night on June 20 in New York City. At that time a fan spotted them leaving a restaurant and caught a video of Travis being a total gentleman to Taylor. See what was in the video In the fan video posted to a social media account by a fan, Travis can be seen leaving the restaurant first and waiting against the door for Taylor to follow him. He's seen stopping to wait for Taylor so he can take her hand and then leads her to the car to help her get in after the two share a quick word at the door. Travis has also shared a movie from the couple's list of rom-coms In one of the episodes of the 'New Heights' podcast, Travis mentioned one of the movies he plans to watch with his star girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Travis and his brother, who co-hosts the podcast, Jason Kelce, usually review a movie during one episode per month. In the past, they have even reviewed movies like 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.' When asked about 'Pretty Woman,' which has Julia Roberts as the protagonist, Travis revealed that movie 'has been on [his] and Tay's movie list for a while.' Although the NFL player, Travis, didn't reveal any other movies on their date night list, it's likely to be filled to the peak with other total 90s classics. In her song 'So High School,' Taylor even referenced watching the movie American Pie, which Travis has discussed before, about him watching it when he was younger.

Travis Kelce gives fans a glimpse into his quiet time with Taylor Swift—A peek into their cozy bonding ritual at home
Travis Kelce gave rare insight into his and Taylor Swift's movie date night (Getty Images) Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce might be known for his bold plays on the field, but off the gridiron, his idea of a good time is surprisingly laid-back — especially when it comes to nights in with global pop icon Taylor Swift . During the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, Kelce offered fans a rare and candid glimpse into the couple's low-key life together, revealing a sweet detail: he and Swift keep a shared movie list. Travis Kelce shares cozy detail about nights in with Taylor Swift While discussing potential film picks for the podcast, Travis Kelce casually mentioned the iconic 1990 romantic comedy Pretty Woman. 'I'm down to watch it,' he told brother Jason Kelce, before adding that the Julia Roberts–Richard Gere classic 'has been on [his] and Tay's movie list for a while.' The brief mention set off a ripple of fan curiosity, as listeners clung to the subtle insight into what the NFL champ and Grammy winner enjoy behind closed doors. Kelce didn't divulge any other titles on the couple's list, but it's not the first time movies have played a part in their public love story. In December 2024, he reacted to Love Actually — a longtime favorite of Swift's — with mixed feelings, calling it 'far-fetched' but 'fun.' His commentary added a touch of realism to a film that many associate with grand romantic gestures, a contrast that fans found both funny and relatable. Pin Up Jason, Donna Joins The Traitors and Fatherly "Ed-Vice" with Ed Kelce | EP 143 In April, Kelce also recalled watching American Pie, the same movie name-dropped in Swift's The Tortured Poets Department song 'So High School,' widely believed to be about him. His memory of seeing it at a young age with 'someone else's parents' — since his own wouldn't have approved — adds a nostalgic twist that pairs perfectly with the sentimental tone of Swift's lyrics: 'I'm watching 'American Pie' with you on a Saturday night. ' While Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce remain headline-makers, it's the small, intimate details — like a shared movie list — that seem to capture fans' hearts. The couple continues to balance fame with normalcy, offering rare, honest glimpses into a relationship grounded in mutual respect, humor, and quiet connection. As Kelce simply put it, 'I hope Travis is Travis,' — and clearly, when he's with Taylor, that's exactly who he gets to be.
