What happens if you add $query->is_main_query() to your if statement?

function allstar_buzzworthy_published_sort( $query ) {
        // If not the admin section
        if ( !is_admin() &&  $query->is_main_query()) {
            // If on a taxonomy page
            if ( is_tax() ) {
                $query->set( 'meta_key', 'date_published' );
                $query->set( 'orderby', 'meta_value' );
                $query->set( 'order', 'DESC' );
            }
        }
    }
    add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'allstar_buzzworthy_published_sort' );
