I would also like to say, it was pouring down raining the entire time, and she sang Fearless in the rain as the surprise song. 
Fearless, a song that she has only topped a couple of times. :cm:
What a night.

I hereby conduct the trial of

I don't really understand the impatience at this point lol. It's five days away (probably less with a leak), can't y'all just occupy your time in other ways? :suburban:

 

Give Dua some streams, she needs them. :ryan3:

Conduct is also a weird verb to use "hereby" with. I googled it and really only found things like "this person shall hereby conduct a survey" or something. If a person is referring to themselves, other verbs are more common - adjourn, call to order, declare, renounce, condemn, grant, given, agree, etc. Not impossible, but a little out of the ordinary.

This is both very annoying, yet genius at the same time…

So it turns out the word of the day and the HERO mystery are 2 separate investigations.

I see Hey Stephen low on everybody's rankings. Tell me you've never written a love song while thinking of a cute boy without telling me you haven't.

It's probably

herby conduct this meeting to order 

 

 

""I hereby conduct this meeting to order" is a formal way for the chairperson of a board of directors to mark the beginning of a meeting.”

It's gonna be "I hereby conduct this meeting of The Tortured Poets Department by demanding that everybody pick their nose while sitting in a circle for 5 minutes.”

That would make sense, I don't know if anyone would catch if an entire song was lowercase except for one 'I'

Let me just throw a quick word for Rep.

 

TW: Not the most positive opinion so if you're a fragile Reputationator, maybe skip. :clack:

 

There's some excellent songs, some songs that are oscillating between okay and I don't really care about depending on the day, and some stinkers. It was cute for her to try something new I guess, but this bad ***** image she put on is really not convincing. The love story arc redeems the album a little in my eyes, but the songs are not the most convincing in her discography. Simply put, I think the concept of the album is exceptionally good, but the execution fell short.

 

Spoiler

Ranking

 

So It Goes...

Dancing With Our Hands Tied

Getaway Car

Don't Blame Me

Call it What You Want

 

Delicate

Ready For It (I'm not too fond of listening to the studio version, but this goes off HARD live)

Look What You Made Me Do (The MV + Eras Tour performance truly gave it a second live in my eyes)

I Did Something Bad (Same commentary as RFI)

Dress

 

King Of My Heart

New Year's Day

End Game

Gorgeous

This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

I wouldn't say it's a bad album (I wouldn't say she released a single bad album for that matter), but it's definitely just there for me, and bottom 2 in her discography (how excited that the other one in the bottom two is tomorrow :clack:).

The only issue with this is that, typically, you don't conduct a meeting to order, but call it to order. This is part of why "conduct" is a weird and interesting second word.

 

Unless it's just something similar to "I hereby conduct the first meeting of The Tortured Poets Department" with a few of the less critical words removed.

Why does she need an entire week just to tell us this?
