Hook Up

Translation: "I couldn't find a way to do what I wanted, which was to build something really solid and then build up from there, which is what I've created in my personal life. You organize so many things for a show, and there's so much that—as a woman—you have to worry about. I need to schedule my manicure and my spray tan in advance. That's what I always do, and I don't want that to change; it just needs to be a normal day. Doing a residency was my idea. Now I know, through this ticket demand at the Hollywood Bowl [4 million], that my calculations are correct and people will come to me. I don't need to go to them. Those shows were just a test. It's perfect because people want to see me perform, and I want to sleep in my own bed, so everyone's happy." idgaf this is so rude and out of touch. You're a multimillionaire who can AFFORD to travel anywhere you want/whenever. The people who are traveling to see you have significantly less than you do so to flex that people will flock to you by making their situations more dire is so nasty.

Poop or **** considered for toilet

The discussion around her needing help is a pointless one to have on this site given the same people suggesting her getting help under the guise of "no amount of abuse she endured justifies what she's doing here" is coming from the same people who've offered her zero sympathy on the abuse she endured in the first place. These same people have harassed her on this site for years. What's the point of a logical, empathetic, or informed conversation if that's the basis?

Even though I knew she was having health issues, this is still shocking news. Dolly - you were my first diva. You taught me, a man, nearly everything about strong women. I'm so grateful to have experienced your incredible songwriting, your ear for melodies, and to have had the capacity to witness the doors you opened for women in music. You were truly one of one. This doesn't feel real.

Will she be invested in the album by the time it drops? Will she give performances outside of the Chateau? Will she namedrop every designer involved in the project instead of bringing attention to the music? Let's see what happens.

NEED vault tracks on streaming. If nothing else I'm really glad it's gonna give her music platform photos a refresh. I feel like the Britney/ITZ/Blackout era aesthetics encompass her career so much better than BOMT/OIDIA so it's nice to see these subtle changes.

Genuinely shocked. I've loved her for so many years and have been rooting for her for so long. I know she was working so hard on her recovery and career and I can't help but feel like losing her brother a few years back must have made things significantly more difficult. I'm so sad for her and her family.

That's a bold claim That period you're referencing was also extremely traumatizing and invasive for her. It's not to justify mistakes she made but is that really appropriate to call her a horrible parent when she had no right to privacy for herself or her children?

2007 me is gagged as is 2026 me

What in the gay heaven oh my god…

Of course not. There will be an alternative excuse other than "I just don't want to do it." The pattern of "the label didn't believe in my vision so I'm abandoning ship" has happened both with RCA, Columbia, and soon to be Atlantic. I remain skeptical.
