put the vocaroos in the bag

could be interesting. During her peak I'd have said she wouldn't have been great reading an autocue () but she's acted in a West End play and started reading a lot since then, so maybe it would work. She is kind of typecast as a reality TV judge so doing something different TV-wise would help

The last two seasons have averaged about 3 million so not great. Although everything has been flopping on UK TV for years apart from The Traitors and football. Even Strictly Come Dancing is down to 7 million (probably even lower this year given the Z-list influencer contestants and change in presenters). X Factor would probably be better but if she has The Voice in the bag vs nothing concrete for X Factor then she should probably just stick with The Voice. It seems like the XF reboot will get off the ground this time (there was some mess about it moving from ITV to Channel 5 a few years ago) but probably with many, many changes. They might go with an all-new judging panel rather than anyone who's been on the show before, with Simon's only role being behind the scenes

he's been dominating my ig explore page for months

i knew it reminded me of something

deluxe? collab/remix album?

no. those are the thresholds for grades at UK universities but we don't use letter grades (we use 1st, 2:1, 2:2, 3rd, fail) and it's very difficult to be awarded anything higher than low 80s (because marking is very harsh in the case of assignments, and because exams are on-campus, closed book and difficult). any American student who chooses to do a semester or year abroad in the UK has their grades converted (and often gets to complete an alternative assignment instead of the exam that UK students take) to the US scale so that their GPA doesn't get tanked

yea I think the clips from previous seasons do crazy numbers on YouTube so ITV probably want a piece of that

The Sun is linking her with the X Factor reboot. I guess she only has a few weeks to decide whether or not to pull out of The Voice because I think filming starts this autumn

taylor swift when her sweet, intelligent boyfriend starts suffering depression: i am going to cheat on you with denise welch's racist son and leave you

going to trawl twitter for more Stella Lefty news when I get home, prepare yourself accordingly

No

Post it! I love this one. It was her first arena tour and she completely owned the stage.

Yes. Midnights, TTPD and especially TLOAS all had less longevity than the most recent studio albums by other female artists. Her "success" is frontloaded and inorganic, as IKIIKY has also so wonderfully highlighted.

TLOAS

plus only 7% of GUTS' sales are from its first week compared to 55% for TLOAS you either have organic success and longevity or you don't, and I'm afraid Taylor Swift does not At this point Swifties are worse than the Barbz and BTS stans

honestly yes she couldn't have wished for more

Building on @whatyouwant_'s excellent research, I've noticed that Olivia Rodrigo's GUTS (2023), despite being a massive flop according to Swifties, has spent or is due to spend longer on the UK albums chart than any Taylor Swift release since 2021. Why do you think The Alleged Music Industry is failing to match the longevity of a supposed commercial bomb? GUTS: 156 weeks, currently #38 --mind the gap-- Red (Taylor's Version): 142 weeks, currently OUT The Tortured Poets Department: 112 weeks, currently OUT 1989 (Taylor's Version): 92 weeks, currently OUT Speak Now (Taylor's Version): 55 weeks, currently OUT The Life of a Showgirl: 47 weeks, currently OUT Bonus! Midnights: 157 weeks, currently OUT; GUTS will match its number of weeks on chart next week and overtake it the following week. Bonus Bonus! YSPSFAGSIL (2026), GUTS (2023), and SOUR (2021) are all charting in the Top 40, while The Alleged Music Industry has no albums in the Top 100.

"the UK nerfs singles" maybe make an album that doesn't entirely suck outside of the lead single then?

you can also add GUTS to your list of albums that spent more than 100 weeks on the UK albums chart (156 weeks and counting), despite swifties claiming it was a gigantic flop

i cant find it now but that video of two gay millennial americans contemplating stealing a poster of ariana outside the O2 on the last night of her tour where one of them constantly crows about it being "iconic" has made me feel viscerally homophobic

oh i thought it was just AOTY users who were beyond delusional (i can't stomach reading any reviews on that site, especially the ones with the most likes)
