I think the surprise guest was the friends we made along the way tonight bc it’s like almost 10pm…

ok now I’m perched.

Saddest short story: Alaska King Sized Bed. 0 Mileage.

it was a pretty silly place to announce an album tbh. It was a private event with no regular fans in the live audience who would’ve given her the reaction I think she wanted.

Was kinda hoping for Laura Bush ngl

It’s Beyoncé, apparently: https://www.tmz.com/2024/08/22/beyonce-dnc-final-night-kamala-harris/ Which, great, but I don’t think Beyoncé fans weren’t voting for Kamala Harris in the first place. This is a nice to have for the ppl who get a live Beyoncé concert, but doesn’t really make a huge blip.

I didn’t consider this - but I think she usually uses “we” when talking about her team?

anything that sounds like Because I Liked A Boy? So far the singles have seemed much less confessional, is that how the rest of the album is lyrically?

I’ve never heard her being so self-deprecating about a new album. It’s like she struggles to talk about this album in general? I think in her head this project is already hated (her false memory of the reception to the initial announcement being tepid in February), and so she’s trying to fix that by saying it won’t sound too drastically different from other records of hers? Kinda bizarre tbh. I don’t think anyone’s forcing her to put this album out if she’s doesn’t want to…

Brat (Charli xcx) - 10 Eternal Sunshine (Ariana Grande) - 9 Charm (Clairo) - 11 The Tortured Poets Department (Taylor Swift) - 10 Hit Me Hard And Soft (Billie Eilish) - 11 Cowboy Carter (Beyonce) - 10 Short N’ Sweet (Sabrina Carpenter) - 10 C,XOXO (Camila Cabello) - 10 Radical Optimism (Dua Lipa) - 10 The Secret Of Us (Gracie Abrams) - 9

NFR!

In the average American’s perspective: Bill Clinton came, fucked bitches, and left office with a budget surplus (one of the only presidents after WWII to be do so).

as much as I love Taylor (probably more than anyone else on here) whyyyy have we given her so much power that this would be the biggest thing at the DNC 😭😭😭 This should be Harris’s moment.

(Even tho they’re all Australian lol)

ah yes classic Southern Gothic content like *checks notes* a love letter to the West Coast

Agree 1000000x I would also love LDR versions of “Paint it Black”, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”, and “Moonlight Mile” Altho I wouldn’t expect any of them on an “Americana” album I guess…

She wants to see if Trump will win before dropping Lasso, so she can add in WTWWAWWKD 2.0 that does indeed confirm the end of an era/America

she did not give any timeline for Lasso other than “new singles coming before end of the year” will precede “the new record”

In my interpretation, she confirmed Lasso isn’t coming until 2025. “Before the record drops, Del Rey promises there will be more singles on the way…’We have two more coming out by the end of the year!’” If we’re getting two more singles both “before Lasso” and “before the end of the year” that would likely mean Lasso won’t be arriving until 2025

a short n sweet way to brick your laptop with a virus

“Let me be very clear: I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows.” End those twitter activist again Taylor.

Not you guys making jokes while someone is literally fighting for their life in the audience 💀💀😭

what in the Sabrina Carptener lmaooooo

https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2024/08/20/katy-perrys-new-single-misses-the-hot-100-entirely/ This is sad, this is so sad. She gave up $40 million a year for this I know she must have some good alt rock/pop rock songs in her still. At least if it’s not gonna be for the charts do it for the arts

I would LOVE Rep TV to come January 2025 and hopefully she shows up at the Grammy's in a Rep-inspired look
