Elementary

Why did they even come back only to release this uninspired thing? It feels like an entirely different band

Who cares. The album sold 5.5M+ copies WW first week alone. That's 90%+ of their album's entire runs. Whether people are streaming Track 7 in September 2026 is totally irrelevant. And why are we comparing her to artists who peaked over a decade after she debuted? The moving goal posts shall we remind y'all this is 4 bonus tracks from a deluxe edition. Why is she expected to do 2M?

Is this the 1960s? Imagine having kids because someone else is asking you to. Are they going to feed them and care for them? Regardless of sexual orientation that's absurd.

The people dwelling in this thread to talk about the performance of bonus tracks of an artist they supposedly hate need to evaluate the way they spend their time…

People often take Ophelia and Anti Hero for granted because they came from mammoth sized eras but they were huge hits on their own. They are both solo and they were released 15+ years into her career mind you.

I would have picked Pink Clouding as the lead of the re release. Cleveland so done with her singing about how much she adores Travis. So corny

Imagine complaining about her video being expensive. Especially after the Liz Taylor and IKIKY "videos"…

As IF she would waste the once in a lifetime event of her 13th album reveal on a random single announcement on a Tuesday.

If it wasn't for the mammoth sized hit that was Flowers her career would be in the graveyard for well over a decade by now. These numbers are tragic, even Beabadobee with 0 hits is close to outselling her.

The Exorcist. Granted in today's context it's certainly dated and almost comical but in the early days of the internet (and before) it was deeply disturbing to watch.

People having a "relationship" with more than one person at the same time or open """"relationships"""" in general.

I wasn't aware Troye had any significant support. Besides a couple of modest low tier flukes he usually flops.

This era really was a breath of fresh air for her career and I'm living for it.

As much as I agree with the sentiment over the delay for Act 3 it wouldn't have been wise for her to drop it with the media climate her family has been exposed to lately.

I would be pissed if there was always a plan for a Showgirl deluxe and she decided to just randomly shelve it until now to focus on the wedding zzz

She has a prenup, right? RIGHT?

Disagree. Not because of the body choice argument, but because anyone (gay or straight) seeking for surrogacy over adoption is being selfish. The world has enough human beings already.

Finally. I literally hate having to share the same room with any kid younger than 5 no exception.

Do Z list actors have stylists?

I didn't like this one, it feels generic and flat maybe I expected too much considering the album is a 10/10.

They will give all the Grammys to Olivia Dean. They wouldn't risk alienating young viewers just to honor someone they have snubbed multiple times in the past and who clearly is not bothered about it.

Is anyone really surprised? She's a nepo industry plant if we ever knew of one.

Depends on where and how. The specific archetype of that dreamy special snowflake girl who buries her nose in a book is so annoying and fake and very transparent when someone is trying extra hard to be known for it.

Not people in this thread pushing essays to convince it's "homophobic" and "internalized self hatred" to condemn cruising. It should be shamed in 2026, 2040 and 2100 and that has nothing to do with sexual orientation, it's about not being a degenerated perv.

I wouldn't mind a deceased artist's demos being finished using AI especially if they give their consent when they're still alive. But AI generated lyrics or whole ass albums made with AI from scratch are just tacky. And I would never spend money/streams on any fictional artist.
