I'm sensing a serve

ESV (and SB) was such a choke-job and insane bungling of the Flowers hype, although her goodwill seems kinda flop-resistant, as in she always has industry respect and stays a houshold name even without constant success. So I hope this manages to be a smash era for her, she's very talented and we have to stan that

Great shoot. Also a shoot with an with an actual creative direction, US Vogue could never

Disgusting. Although a washed ex-celeb doing a dumb immoral thing for money?? a likely thing for her to do

Kick them out of of Schengen then. Good luck!

The way I'm force to stan the industry plant simply because she triggers the nazis that hard, fElon rly needs to [redacted] slowly and painfully

The same union members that are voting for union-hating Repugs?

Surprised this hasn't been merged with some 16-month-old thread yet

Opening act vs headliner

Sure, 2015/2016 had the last burst of ~fun pop, although it was still less maximalist than 5 years before, but Royals was kinda the template of where the mainstream would go as the decade progressed. Lowkey production, songs that are more rhymtic than melodic, moody, more personal and introspective / less glamourous lyrics, those avocado vocals, etc. Yeah there were Adele and Bruno who also didn't do the electro-pop, but Royals was the first example of the 'colder' turn for the mainstream music that would come. I'd include the trap fad that plagued us in here too, and while of course Royals isn't that, it's much closer to it in vibes than idk Rolling In The Deep. (Or anything by Bron To Die for that matter lmao why are her stans polluting this thread).

In demand

We would pick a decade we wished we could live in instead of this I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists
