MORNING TEA: The Sussexes Are Back In The UK & Emily In Paris Has A Final Date

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/a71503d6-84d2-4952-a476-b4ac0056ceec/transcript

Today we're farewelling the truly irreplaceable Dolly Parton, and celebrating the parts of her legacy that don't always get the spotlight: the songwriting, the philanthropy, and the doors she kicked open for every female artist who came after her.

Plus, Taylor Swift just sat down for a rare, heavily-controlled interview, and if you listen closely, she's quietly told us exactly what's coming next. We're decoding the looking-back, the throughline she keeps returning to, and the very deliberate play she's making for one final piece of her legacy.

And for the obsessives: the Season 3 teaser for The Pitt has dropped, and the eagle-eyed clues buried in it - a changed timeline, a missing wedding ring, and one very welcome return have us spiralling ahead of January.

Read the celebrity tributes flowing in for Dolly Parton here.

Taylor Swift Just Dropped A Massive Clue About Her Next Move & The Enduring Legacy Of Dolly Parton

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/5dac0c16-0ce1-469e-921b-b4ac0056ab4a/transcript

Today's episode of Morning Tea is dedicated entirely to Dolly Parton, who died peacefully in Nashville on Tuesday at the age of 80.

We hear from her nephew Bryan Seaver's announcement, reflect on her extraordinary seven-decade career, her marriage to Carl Dean, the Imagination Library that has gifted over 250 million books to children around the world, and the tributes pouring in from Reba McEntire, Kacey Musgraves, Lily Tomlin and many more.

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see. Rest peacefully, Dolly. We will always love you.
