Kesha was racking up pretty huge hits every time you looked up for a brief 2-3 year window. Timber was kind of her last hurrah but even THAT was insanely massive.

Something something imminent downfall

First impression: I'm nodding my head. It's better than her last two lead singles. Not as instant as Midnight Sky was though, but I think this one could grow past that one for me. Feels like it has potential for pregaming and growing on me

Rolling Stone has sent the quote to press, but it is noteworthy that the 40 minute video recording they released of this interview does not mention Taylor. It is currently being debated whether: (1) Sarah said it & Olivia's team asked for it to be edited out of the video that was released, but it still went to print, or (2) Sarah did not say this, and the video is accurate, but the print is a fabrication. I do not know which is true at time of posting this thread. My personal guess is that the printed quote is likely to have been said during the interview, and for whatever reason it was edited out. But as I said, that's just my guess. Weigh in!

I had a moment with Midnights last night Something about the transition into September made it feel right. For me, Midnights is lowkey reputations sister. Not in a similar way of folklore & evermore. As in how they are both sort of the black sheep of her catalogue, sonically. There's nothing that similar to either of them as a whole. So I group them together as the 2 outcasts They're both pop albums with relatively unique but very cohesive & precise sonic palettes in Taylor's discography. Both received mixed reactions upon release, but no SUPER strong feelings toward it being either her best or her worst. Just .. middling. But both aged really well & are super immersive & rewarding worlds to dive into, especially for new listeners to Taylor as an artist that aren't expecting the electric nature of reputation or the mesmerizing melancholy of Midnights.

TTPD gets my vote, I'm not that interested in what petal has to offer. The sonic world is mildly interesting but the lyricism and the vocal performances leave much to be desired. The things I love most about Ariana the artist are not present on petal. The things I love most about Taylor the artist are present on TTPD.

Yes, life is so much brighter when you are celebrating wins instead of grieving your losses, and I'm reminded of that every time there is discourse here about The Music Industry

No, I'm the one arguing to you that intimacy has different meanings (IE an intimate concert being 2-3000 people) You are the one being close minded, adhering strictly to one definition of intimacy and one definition of aristocrat, refusing to acknowledge your own ignorance towards words with different meaning & definitions .. but I digress

A modern definition of aristocrat is an elite in an esoteric field. Taylor is an aristocrat in music, just as Travis is one in sports. That is also an objective truth at this point lol
-
No, because intimacy is a feeling/experience, so it has subjective meaning. The earth being spherical — not flat — is an objective truth we have come to understand about reality. Travis saying he wants an intimate wedding can apply to a 1000 person wedding, and I defend that wholeheartedly. If Travis said the earth was flat, he'd be denying an objective truth, and that would not be something I would defend, because then I would look foolish for denying reality
-
Not twisting words, defining them. I do have a point: If Travis says they wanted an intimate wedding, I am merely proving to you their version of intimacy was attained.
