Meanwhile, if you need an awards show fix now, have no fear, because the People’s Choice Awards are here! (See what I did there? Too much? Okay.) That awards show on NBC Sunday night (you can catch them on Peacock and E! as well). But if you’re hoping for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce to make their red carpet debut since they’re both up for awards tonight (he for athlete of the year, she for five including pop artist of the year), then I’m sorry to disappoint. Swift will not be there, as she will be in Australia for the next leg of her international Eras tour. (On the other hand, maybe we’ll see Kelce join her there?)
But if award shows aren’t your thing, there’s plenty of other offerings the rest of the month, including American Idol‘s return on ABC, The Good Fight spinoff, Elsbeth, over on CBS, Dolly Parton’s Pet Gala (yes, a real thing that’s going to be amazing) on CBS, Shõgun on Hulu, and an exclusive clip from The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy from Prime Video.
With that, I’ll be taking next week off, so I’ll see you back here on March 3!
