Am I the only one remembering a flipchart that had the what came to be the "Stronger"-era summed up months before MKIA was released? I see the picture to this day stating: Album title: "The war is over" 1st single Dumb+dumb=You this has to be beginning of 2011ish way before the leaks or any official statements. And obviously before they even had Stronger or MKIA as recorded tracks. I remember discussing it but it gets never brought about again, not even in the podcast so I am not sure if it was even real at this point :-D Anyhow, I do remember how everyone loved DS when the demo came out and favoured it over WDKY. Then it somehow got lost after album release and its underperformance as a single didn't help either. I still would love to see the era played out without the leaks or there risky af single choices.

I actually do not like her as a person, nor do I particularly like her voice, BUT the quality of her output has won me over the last few years. Hated her during the first few eras, then loved the majority of RED, grew neutral during 1989, then loved some parts of Reputation, totally lost her again during Folklore and Evermore and then absolutely loved Anti-Hero, like an all time favorite song, same as the whole album. Poets department is a bit lukewarm for me, so I guess my love-hate relationship with her will continue.

Tbh, PxP had the last laugh. despite all the hate it was getting, HBS and PxP are among her most successful songs (HBS is still very frequently heard in Europe, as is PxP in the US I guess). It imo was the last era that felt very Kelly, if you know what I mean even though it was cut short. Maybe because it was the last time she did some proper promo at least in the beginning.

The rollout this era was just terrible. I mean, I like it when there isn't 6 months of waiting from first single to album release, but 3 months just wasn't enough. They should have released Get him back end of August with proper promo throughout the fall and the album end of October, beginning of november.
