it has a gorgeous sound and "i had big dreams till i tied myself to you" is such a perfect lyric. seems basic and overly simple on its face, but so relatable.

I love the method dressing, but I've always wondered if her costars secretly resent her for doing that at premieres because all actors are egotistical on some level and it does suck up all the attention. (Which I know raises questions like why Black women should feel the need to make themselves look smaller.)

The song is cute but it sounds like a rehash of Fifth Harmony's Monster.

I completely agree with the people here who feel like the Anne Hathaway hate back in the 2010s was manufactured. Like with some other female celebs, the hate trains were weird, but it seemed like a lot of people really did hate them. With Anne Hathaway, it felt like the media picked up on hate that was sorta niche or Internet outrage that was even less representative of the public than its peak? I don't know if that makes sense. There was that weird New York Magazine piece about how people love Jennifer Lawrence and hate Anne Hathaway, so I felt like the media unnecessarily legitimized it.

Cary Fukunaga is the most attractive director I've ever seen, but he has sexual misconduct allegations against him. Used to have a crush on him. I think Jonathan Glazer is cute.

Choosin Texas is boring, idg the love

Where are the Swifties who wanted Olivia to die over her interview with Fantano

Hypothetical: If someone ever manages to ask Taylor about this, how do you think she'd respond?

I love Guts and I know the album and touring helped her accumulate a stronger fanbase, but I do think this is the sound the general public wanted from her after Sour (more commercial, more pop).

I hate it too. Same with enshittification. Although I know it's supposed to be deliberate.

Taylor was so dirty for this, and I put the fault for this situation 90% on her, especially because those songs sound so dissimilar, but I also wish Olivia's team had stopped her from putting 1 step forward, 3 steps back on the album. It wasn't just the Rolling Stone interview that led to this. Olivia's team opened the gates in the first place by asking for Taylor's permission for that song. I'm guessing Taylor has an in, feels she's entitled to more credits ("wait, there are actually TWO songs inspired by me?"), and then there we go. Regardless of what Taylor did, don't allow a new artist to intertwine herself so tightly with her competition on her debut album. I'm surprised Swifties don't just go with that narrative instead of denying it ever happened.

I hope I don't regret saying this, but I love ATRL! It's so refreshing here now that Reddit has replaced nearly every forum. Because of the upvote system, each sub becomes an echo chamber and is either too positive or too negative, causing people to splinter off into new subreddits that are the polar opposite but equally as toxic. For example, an Olivia Rodrigo "neutral" sub came across my feed that is mainly just antis talking about how juvenile her music is. For better or worse, I think it's a good thing that people have to co-exist here and you have a mix of genuine haters and lovers. Subreddits also focus on news items, and I like that people here pose very specific questions, no matter how goofy or ridiculous. That's part of the charm. There are posts here that I genuinely laugh at. I dislike Reddit "humor."

How can something perform better than something else but also do worse than it? Do some of you hear yourselves when you speak?

You really have a humiliation kink, don't you.

Love how this "controversy" lasted all of one day

Really enjoying the comments here vacillating between "he has a rotten soul and is a misogynistic, racist piece of ****" and "i want to his **** 10 feet inside of me."

You guys crack me up with your oddly specific questions. That said, I'm more interested in the question of how well she would do if she debuted in 2003, the actual year.

Genuinely thought it was the other way around. Well, I've been humbled.

This is why I don't get why people say her music is juvenile. I mean, I get it, but I think it's a misread. Her music feels very cheeky and sarcastic.

I listen to his music here and there, but wow, I did not know he was popular like that.

Ugh, I hate how catchy his music is.

People complain about the Oscars, but the Grammys make them look so virtuous in comparison.

how are the Guts vinyls doing on the resale market? mama is debating getting a second vinyl in case it's worth something someday

F*ck, this hits hard
