You're right. It's phrased a little strangely, but she means that you start to wrongly believe that Safety should be the most important thing, when it should be passion, and trying to stay safe leads to losing your power as an artist.

The venue really should hire you as a weather/storm consultant.

Living this tour through Rob's POV is so damn unique and interesting.

Peak Lana

Was that broadcast?

Although she hasn't converted formally (that takes a long time to do, as in at least a year or two), it might have been a gift from a Jewish friend that they wanted her to wear. It's hard to say, but it's also not that big a deal (not on the same level as Madonna thinking she'd become the spokesperson for Kabbalah for a while).

I couldn't agree more with this. 90% of books should be no longer than 100 pages (very, VEEEEEERY rarely they deserve more). I have the same opinion of movies, though - 90% of movies should be restricted to 40 minutes in length, and you should have to justify going longer than that.

I'm getting genuinely emotional that not only is this masterpiece one week away from 500 weeks on the Billboard 200, but it's trending upwards, and just had its biggest day every on Spotify.

Can anyone who has an actual copy of either the CD or vinyl, that is not a first press, confirm that there are physical copies of the album that have the proper version of 'Fuck It I Love You?', and if so, whether there is any way to tell the difference. I want to buy it, but don't want to get just another copy with the same 'wrong' version.

She had to get her Red Bull somewhere!

Apparently 'The Blackest Day' is going viral in Mexico? https://twitter.com/chartlana/status/1693057820915020103

I know a lot of cool Taylor fans, but the ones who don't have any class really take it to the next level.

I always thought the most savage line ever about an ex- (or in that case, a soon-to-be-ex) was Nick Cave's 'Darling you're the punishment for all my former sins', but this has some rippers.

I love the lyrics more than the song, and I love the song a lot.

Accusing the festival security, without any evidence, of negligently killing one of its patrons by dumping her in the street, and by extension blaming Lana for callousness that led to that death, is perhaps not dumb, but it's a bunch of other words I'd rather not use here.

I usually namecheck ancient bands, but you might enjoy this which is very recent

I wish fans would realise when a song is out of their vocal range ...

"There's always a but" is the 2023 equivalent of "Does anybody remember laughter?"

This is a pretty minor list, but not only is Lana in the top 50, she's also obviously photogenic enough to be the top left on the photo grid that heads the article. https://www.billboard.com/photos/best-album-covers-of-all-time-6715351/

Summertime Sadness

Rob's just ended. Can someone please give me a link?

Rob's livestream is so brilliant as a viewpoint that most of us will never get.

I'm watching the video of it right now and I can't even imagine. That half turn she does at the 'Except for the Stage' line ...
