Oh, I just know she will DEVOUR that role

Students and teachers have been protesting for months, years even, asking the government for more budget to improve their conditions (not enough teachers in some schools which results in overpopulated classes, buildings that need renovation falling apart, rats in cafeterias...). And instead of listening to their revendications, they sent out cops to beat them up. I've seen videos of people who were at these protests and they said they were protesting peacefully and some cops started attacking them out of nowhere. That's why it escalated so quickly. Unfortunately, there are always some bad seeds who will use these events to burn everything. And that's what the media (owned by far-right billionaires) chooses to show and they turn these protests into attacks commited by the left and / or immigrants. Pathetic.

WTFFF I didn't know that... I've been listening to Self Aware in the car the other day and I enjoyed it. I even added it to my playlist... Let me go BLOCK them immediately.

You didn't lie but I'm not ready to enter my "arts not the charts" era yet.

Let's get into it

Yes, I have streamed my illegally downloaded copy of petal - the complete live album. Apple Music - Web Playerpetal – the complete live album by Ariana Grande on Apple...Preview petal – the complete live album by Ariana Grande on Apple Music. 2026. 24 Songs. Duration: 36 minutes. Buy the album for $11.99.

I discovered a year ago the "Fall Asleep Fast" playlist, created by Calmly on Spotify and it's the only thing that was ever able to put me to sleep effectively, even when I'm not even tired. I usually set the timer at 30 minutes and I'm already sleeping before it ever ends. Thanks to this, I'm able to sleep before 10 PM every night.

What baffles me the most is her and her team's lack of reaction. Are they satisfied with the numbers ? I guess they don't care because the money she made with the tour will easily cover up the costs of the era ? Anyway, I don't understand. Also, I'm sure they saw how positively the fans have responded to the live album so why not put it on streaming platforms ? It's been almost a month, it's not like it's going to keep selling, fans have already bought it the first week and shared it online. Not to mention that she's been losing a lot of potential streams since a lot of us have ditched the original album for it. Maybe she's punishing us ? As if eternal whisper wasn't already a punishment for me...

Of course

It's probably the only time in her life that she was glad she started flopping in the 2020s

I'm as tall as Bruno Mars so yes.

Her best lead

The charts are so weak lately but the album still fell off the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 this week It's such a flop situaaaation, Petal out of the Tooop 10.

At this point, anything as long as it's new. No more going "back" to something. She went back to pure Pop and it was a catastrophe. Even her going back to Country with the Toy Story song and some of the vault songs resulted in something far below what she could do on Speak Now and Red quality wise. I'm afraid that if she goes back to the folklore / evermore sound, she won't do these masterpieces justice. She has set the bar so high with her early albums that for her, recycling sounds is way riskier than exploring new horizons.
