Obsession

Because she really doesn't think anything is wrong, and she's been very candid that she thinks the public is just trying to control her. We'll see what happens because I think the consensus online is that if she's not going to be an acceptable weight, then people feel she needs to stop existing in front of the world. I really think this is going to send the wrong message to people online, but I hope the best for her; she's had an incredibly tough time in the public eye for over a decade, and she's always handled it with as much grace as anyone could expect. And maybe she will get the help she needs - but I don't think this wave of harassment is conducive to the remission of an eating disorder.

Half of the people commenting on her weight were not concerned about her at all and were hoping she'd die to prove them right, but I think the break is for the best. It's clear people won't stop until it reaches a breaking point and they won't let her continue until they feel it's suitably addressed. I personally have always thought she had an ED, but I don't know what people think the discourse was meant to accomplish. Hopefully, this will be enough for everyone to leave her alone and stop acting like she's the second coming of Lucifer for the crime of possibly being sick.

I don't know which poll option is which, but Like I Do is the (much) better song

He's okay. I think it's relative to politicians

She used to be a decent vocalist, but weirdly has been unable to sustain the vocal strength in her earliest live performances, though people usually don't notice since they praise her for developing good choreo and passable stage presence. I don't think she has much of a strong talent in anything. She is a decent performer and used to show a lot of ambition and drive, but that's long gone. So I guess we're left with taking vacations and getting people to pretend she's not calling paps to take pictures of her and Callum all the time, as if there's a genuine appetite to see them together all the time.

This sounds crazy…

She's actually been rising for a few years now, I started listening to her in 2023. Obviously, this year is a banner year for her, and no one could've predicted how big Choosin Texas would become, but Nashville has been working on her for a while. I stopped once I found out she was MAGA, but that only really came out this year.

An amazing album, and no one gives her credit, but she saw that pop was going trap and beat most of the girls to the curve, other than Rihanna. As people have said, "Drive" is one of her best songs still to this day. Also, she should've put Nightmare and Last Goodbye on the deluxe idk

Something Beautiful was one of the best albums of 2025, but I fear the underperformance is going to send her running in yet another direction and then we'll end up with another Endless Summer Vacation

That happens with all Gen-Z men now and the stats show it happens with Black men way less than it does with other demographics. I'm not saying it shouldn't be addressed but there was a lot of fear-mongering about this last election, and it ended up being for nought.

These stans are having a mid off

Mind you, Black Americans were the most loyal demographic to the Democrats in 2024. That's why I honestly pay both parties dust

Now that's a legend

Not getting why there's so much doom and gloom over an era where the lead single only came out like a month ago, sorry.

Best title: Eternal Sunshine/Dangerous Woman/Sweetener Worst title: Thank U, Next.

There wasn't really anything for people to latch onto. I think she wanted people to know she was getting married, to project the image of exclusivity, and, for safety reasons, I'm sure, the public wasn't able to see it nor was anyone to take pictures of it. It's July 4th, it's insanely hot, and the World Cup is going on - normal people have better things to do with their time.

I disagree. I think there is a point in fighting it. The result is probably that people will use AI, but I think what people push back against will determine how much companies think they can get away with, and what lawmakers feel pressured to enforce.

Confessions II by FAR

It's what they deserve

I still like this one. The one that's really not aging well to me is "You Should See Me In a Crown", but I listened to the instrumental the other day and I thought it was good - so I think it's the lyrics I find cringe.

I only come on here occasionally to look at music releases, and sometimes I comment in a random thread. I just use other channels more often (Tiktok, Discord, RYM, AOTY). I will say that in the years before, the culture here was really racist, and it put me off for a while, but lately it doesn't seem so bad. Maybe because I'm not as involved to notice.

There was no Gagamania in 2025

She needs to retire

On Wires Look At My Life Wink Wink Lost Boys Watch It Burn

I think maybe it's a bit too long, but I really love her sound; it's mature and sophisticated, but still danceable and sensual. I only recently got into Obsidian, but I can tell she went poppier this time around. Definitely an album I'll be returning to a lot, especially for the summer. I don't think it would sound out of place for fall either, though, there's a chilliness.
