A generational talent. In a just world she would be given a blank check to do whatever she wants but unfortunately we rarely allow women to be temperamental geniuses.

Off Danceteria

I see more comments about how the woke mob is gonna cancel her than the woke mob trying to cancel her. Btw how did remaining "politically neutral" work out for Ed Sheeran?

She better. Get her ass off of twitch and back in the studio.

First they came for Taylor Swift, and I did not speak out because I was not a Swiftie. Then they came for Ariana Grande, and I did not speak out because I was not a Arianator. Then they came for Lady Gaga, and I did not speak out because I was not a Lil' Monster. Then they came for Madonna...

Thank goodness the Swifties are distracted right now.

The only people who are "performative virtue signaling" are the people attacking her because they want to justify their own favorites remaining politically neutral. I'm sorry you are not going to convince me to purity test the people who actually do speak out against injustices versus the people who choose to stand for nothing at all.

Basically just means pop stars singing about being pop stars.

From Pitchfork's review of "Popstar": "Maybe you've noticed recently how evergreen pop-song subjects like love and fantasy have been supplanted by the "reality" of hustle and a meta-narrative. The inspirations and tribulations of life as a full-time entertainer are the subjects of many a recent female pop album, from debutantes and establishment icons alike: ADÉLA's PRIMA; JADE's THAT'S SHOWBIZ, BABY!; Ariana Grande's petal; Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl; every Charli xcx album since Crash. I think this emergent phenomenon is like fifty percent a function of late-capitalist anxiety and fifty percent stan culture wagging the stars, but maybe it's one and the same thing. "The American Dream is outdated/Now they sittin' on the internet hatin'," as Tinashe puts it on "Crash Out," one of the dozens of brilliant little moments on Popstar, her new pop meta-narrative album to end pop meta-narrative albums. After this, hang it up." Do you think "Popstar" is the inevitable culmination of the pop meta-narrative album and logical endpoint? Discuss.

Ok now where is the Encore review Rolling Stone?
