Meghan Markle’s back in the spotlight, and this time it’s about a podcast trailer on Spotify that’s got tongues wagging. The buzz? Some are calling it proof that Spotify’s throwing its weight behind her—cue the eye rolls. Her latest project, Confessions of a Female Founder, is being hyped up, but let’s cut through the noise: is this “support” from Spotify, or just another Meghan move where she’s banking on optics over substance?
Here’s the deal. The trailer dropped on Spotify, tied to her upcoming Lemonada Media show set for April 8. The press is spinning it like, “Oh, Spotify’s all in for Meghan—look, they’re sharing her trailer and telling folks to subscribe!” Sounds cozy, right? Except it’s not. It’s an ad. She paid for it. That’s how Spotify works—you fork over cash, you get airtime. No grand conspiracy, no heartfelt endorsement. Just a transaction. But leave it to Meghan’s PR machine to dress it up like a big win.
Rewind a bit. Spotify and Meghan have history—and not the cute kind. Back in 2022, her Archetypes podcast limped through 13 episodes, raked in millions, and then got the axe. No second season. The vibe? They weren’t exactly begging her to stay. Some even whispered “grifter” vibes after that deal fizzled—ouch. So now, seeing her trailer pop up, it’s almost comical. Picture her team: “Hey, can we get ads on Spotify?” “Sure, pay up.” “Great, let’s do it—make it look like they’re backing me!” Classic Meghan, turning a basic ad buy into a “gotcha” moment.
The reality? Spotify’s not “supporting” her—they’re cashing her check. Yet the headlines scream, “Meghan prepares to launch her new show with Spotify’s blessing!” Nah. It’s a stretch to paint it like the platform that ditched her is suddenly her cheerleader. This is Meghan 101: take something small, spin it big, and hope no one notices the cracks. Her new gig’s about “female founders,” but critics are already side-eyeing it—sounds like she’s swiping ideas from folks who’ve actually clocked the hours, then slapping her name on it.
So, what’s the takeaway? Meghan’s trailer on Spotify isn’t a redemption arc—it’s an ad she bought, not a hug from a platform that’s moved on. The press might run with the “Spotify loves Meghan” angle, but let’s keep it real: it’s just business, not a bromance. Another day, another Meghan headline.
