Parachutes

It's less about frequency and more so about quality. What good are very frequent releases if they're poorly made or uninspired?

And all these self-initiated lashings right before she embarks on an Oscar campaign well done Taylor

This was such a misfire It's like she's completely out of touch and making herself into a joke. The way her artistic reputation has been so damaged in only a couple of years. To go from how she was received in 2020-2023 to now

They may have a solid debut but longevity isn't guaranteed

It's fine if her love life isn't that inspiring music wise, if she's still happy. Her music doesn't have to be determinant for her what she does in her relationships, even if the inverse is largely true. But then there are other sources of inspiration. You can try to challenge yourself by looking elsewhere (other art and literature, friends/family, history) for ideas and stories. That's what she did for (much of) folklore/evermore, to massive success

It'd benefit her to slow down. Her fans aren't going anywhere and will eagerly listen to something she puts out in 3-4 years, if she breaks her now yearly release schedule. It's not hard to imagine that most artists would run out of things to say after releasing so much content in the span of a couple years. Take time to get inspired, refine and hone in your ideas. Collaborate with new people who can push you into different direction. Consume other interesting art; that can be a source of inspiration even if her personal life isn't (which is fine, but then try to look elsewhere). I think at this point, it's more beneficial to her legacy to try to push the needle and really focus on quality vs getting more hits, which she has plenty of (even then, I think she'd be surprised at how much interest people would have in the former. Showgirl has the worst longevity of any of her albums in a while because people don't think it offers anything that interesting.) Just really confused by her doubling down on this era when even she seems aware of it being her most panned release. Let's just move on

That said, Choosin Texas your time is up

For her sake I hope this is good I would've waited longer to start a completely new era (if that's what this is) and if it's another dud then the backlash will be Swift

The backtracking as if his record isn't widely known for well over a decade Anddddd Chris Brown has a meltdown over the backlash

Ossoff likely to win by a healthy margin but will that energy translate to the GA Gov's race?

Yet Raymond James Stadium and AT&T Stadium have no issues with Kanye, a self-proclaimed Nazi, headlining at their venues on his current tour. Ironic

not a good day for Texas politics

Maybe this will be released alongside the physicals shipping to push for #1 Nvm it's just a viral tiktok audio a fan made

Agreed, I guess I can see why they would want continuity but Country Album was more inclusive than Contemporary Country. I don't think retrofitting previous winners into the new category really makes sense or is necessary. It's different than Dance/Electronic Album (for example) which has the exact same criteria just with an updated name

You are correct. For example, Kacey Musgraves' wins in 2014 and 2019 are now both listed as Contemporary Country Album, no longer Country Album. Same with Chris Stapleton's wins in 2022, 2018, and 2016. The category's page shows that this is a universal change for all Country Album winners, not just Beyoncé. Contemporary Country is a "replacement" for the old category, while Traditional is entirely "new." Doesn't change the fact that the category being split up in the first place was pretty obviously a response to Bey winning. But, this specific maneuver is not targeted towards her specifically.

Oh no, hope she'll be okay

IKI,IKY is no lock, even if they go all out for its campaign

For some reason it feels like much longer ago. Their group being half the size already

So much respect for her

One of the defining musicians of my life

Fishback FLOP (10% is still too high)

None above 4 they're strict over there! #1 doesn't surprise me

It's giving paid endorsement because why would she care about a FL primary

I wish they had an incentive to make better songs but now they clearly won't I don't care that their music is writing camp'd (if anything that'd make you expect higher quality) but the girls are very talented and I wish their songs took advantage of that. I guess their eclectic electronic sound is their signature at this point, but I feel they could still explore that while tapping into their artistic potential more. But again, no need to listen to me bc numbers show they are successful regardless

I see possibilities in Pop Vocal Album, Alternative Performance, SOTY, and maybe Music Video and Album Cover. She isn't the runaway favorite in any single category, HMHAS is a very good comparison. Phoebe's acclaim bodes poorly for her AOTY chances. I imagine there's a lot of goodwill surrounding Olivia (I feel that Daisy Chain Fields will be a big deal) and that she'll be campaigning, though.
