Ok I tried to resist listening to a live version as my introduction, but I gave in. Glad I did - that was absolutely incredible. I'm seeing her live a few days after the song officially comes out so ngl I'm disappointed I didn't get the debut live performance, but wow, loving it. Cannot wait to watch it burn in 2 weeks.

Just got tickets to see her in Cardiff Castle on 30th June! Can't wait.

YES And finally give us Work It too while she's remastering (A)Katy Perry, based on the writers (Katy Perry, Greg Wells, Rivers Cuomo, and Cathy Dennis) I think it'll fit.

Definitely perched for One of The Boys 2. By far her best album. Actually noticed that my ranking of her albums is release order so far, so shouldn't be too hard for OOTB2 to break that trend.

THANK YOU. I thought I was going crazy when I kept hearing Defecation when I had the song on in the background at work.

I don't know if she always does this now, but at my tour date last month during a surprise The One That Got Away she sang 'All this money can't buy me a time machine, I wouldn't go back anyway.' The line in this song "If I had to do it all over again, I would still do it all over again" really reminds me of that moment on the tour. Despite the moody breakup song she's still happy because she has Daisy, cute.

That Woman's World jumpscare at the end of the video.

Adult Reality is finally coming

Oh, I really like that MV teaser - looks very high budget. I get the WW comparisons BUT, so far, it's cheesy in a good way whereas, idk, WW was just trying too hard and bad from the very start. WW leaned too far into "look how hot I am, but not really this is satire!!!1!" whereas this seems to be leaning more into how she used to do videos. Suppose it really depends on the song itself though, a bad song and the video won't save it.

Fits the trend of the last 2 album titles then.

I hope that Katheryn necklace she's wearing is an album title hint, I've always thought that'd be a great album title for something mature.

The One That Got Away kinda needs to become a permanent fixture of her tours tbh - obviously no where near her biggest hit, but everyone there knew every word and sung along with her for the entire song, so moving. Plus the audience reaction when it was even floated as a potential song for her to perform was incredible. Make it that brilliant The One That Got Away/Thinking of You medley she used to perform and I'll be a very happy lad.

Glasgow voted Ghost and Unconditionally for the Choose Your Own Adventure but we screamed at her until she swapped Ghost for The One That Got Away and a kid she invited on stage asked to sing Double Rainbow with her so she swapped Unconditionally too. So, basically, I won.

Omg such good song choices for Europe. Lemme start making my Boycott Unconditionally signs to protest outside my show so the voters pick some of the good choices.

Azerbaijan is just lucky it's not getting the same treatment, so if it can remove itself from the competition that'd be great.

I imagine a lot of the smaller countries will suddenly decide to take a stand against Israel too once their increased bill arrives from the EBU after it's been recalculated to remove Spain and Netherlands contributions. Maybe even minus Italy too going by the news this week. If Israel survives the vote to stay in the competition I hope they win next year, it's what the EBU deserves. Them trying to organise Tel Aviv 2027 will well and truly kill Eurovision.

Unless I'm missing something where she now hates Unconditionally and By The Grace of God I feel like those two are pretty locked in.

Witness itself should've been an option tbh, Tsunami maybe too. And I think Power and Déjà Vu would've worked acoustic, but a little outside the trend so I'm not surprised they weren't included. Though I would've absolutely loved her on stage performing an acoustic version of Bon Appetit. Mostly because it'd be funny. Ok I just played Hey Hey Hey again, no I'll delete that option.

Omg so Europe is getting Prism? We won. I need the choose your own adventure section to include Legendary Lovers, Walking on Air, Birthday, This Moment, Love Me, By The Grace of God, Choose Your Battles, Spiritual. Can she just re-do the Prismatic World Tour for my date? Really though, expecting By the Grace of God, Double Rainbow and Walking on Air? Maybe Legendary Lovers instead of WoA but that's a long shot. Oh wait, I forgot Unconditionally. Keep that one please.

I pulled Luxembourg and Lithuania at work as my countries to support I'm going to delude myself and assume the betting odds are wrong and we're in for a Luxembourg sweep this year, so I have something to hope for.

Really hoping for One of The Boys for Europe. I'm Still Breathing and Thinking of You, please. (Assuming it's always ballads and slower songs she's doing in this section, I'd want Prism if we can get Legendary Lovers and Walking on Air.) USA deserves Smile (or 143 )

Tbf 30% of the show being 143 songs is a significant chunk, that's like 6 songs so over half the album, or even more if she combines a few into a medley. She usually does about 20 songs every tour. (And that's assuming that none of the smash 143 singles are included in the 70% everyone wants to sing along to. )

A second Belfast date was added, sale next week.

She offered a couple on her UK TV special today free tickets to a Lifetimes tour date in either the UK or Pennsylvania (where one of them lives) so presumably that means US dates are coming eventually...

Wow the OVO presale sold out fast, I took a second to decide if I wanted the special tickets and suddenly they were all sold out. 😅 Guess I'll have to try again in the presale tomorrow/the 2nd dates when they're announced. Edit: just got an email an hour late with the code to the fan presale so managed to get some tickets:)
