November 8, 2025<\/b>\u2014Alex Cooper<\/b>, the 31-year-old host of the massively popular podcast Call Her Daddy<\/i>, stirred up social media with a candid joke about pop superstar Taylor Swift<\/b>, whom she referred to as her “sexual awakening for women.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Cooper made the comment during the November 7 episode of actor and influencer Owen Thiele’s<\/b> podcast, In Your Dreams<\/i><\/b>. The revelation came after Cooper spotted a poster of Swift’s sophomore album, Fearless<\/i><\/b>, in the studio background. Released in 2008, Fearless<\/i> is one of the most decorated country-pop albums of all time, winning the Album of the Year<\/b> Grammy in 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Soundtrack for Teen Romance and Rejection<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cooper, who has leveraged her frank discussions of sex, relationships, and celebrity into a major media empire, reflected on how the album defined her adolescence.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t stop staring and looking at the Fearless<\/i><\/b> album behind your head,\u201d Cooper began. \u201cThose songs changed my life. Like, Fearless<\/i><\/b> was my era of girlhood where I was really starting to like boys… I just really found that I was such a loser and [Swift] was my connector of like, \u2018He doesn\u2019t love me.\u2019 But I almost romanticized guys hating me at one point \u2014 like I thought it was cool that they were turning me down because then I had Taylor to listen to.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When Thiele responded, “You were in love with Taylor,” Cooper joked: “Yeah, she was my sexual awakening for women. Sorry, Taylor, that\u2019s weird.\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Pursuit of Male Validation<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The podcaster later clarified her comment, explaining that her most significant romantic experiment with a woman in high school was performative. She confessed to making out with a girl “to turn the boys on,” a move she now calls “so pick-me and disgusting.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Cooper used this personal anecdote to illustrate a broader cultural phenomenon during her high school years, stating, \u201cIt\u2019s so sad that, when you\u2019re in high school, that\u2019s all that matters \u2014 the male validation, gay or straight. And I was obsessed with these boys and I wanted them to think that it was hot…”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Swift’s Empire Continues to Dominate<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cooper\u2019s long-standing admiration for Swift is well-documented. In an interview with PEOPLE<\/i> last year (2024), Cooper named the “Cruel Summer” singer and Rihanna<\/b> as the two women at the top of her dream guest list for Call Her Daddy<\/i>, stating, “I feel like those two women have built such incredible empires and I respect both of them so much.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The conversation on the In Your Dreams<\/i> podcast occurred shortly after the release of Swift’s latest album, The Life of a Showgirl<\/i><\/b>, which was released on October 3, 2025<\/b>. The album, which Swift announced on the New Heights<\/i> podcast hosted by her fianc\u00e9 Travis Kelce<\/b> and his brother, has spent several weeks atop the Billboard 200<\/i> chart, highlighting Swift\u2019s continued cultural and commercial dominance even as Cooper’s attention was focused on the superstar’s earlier work.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
