So basically the idea of Smile was always there

She should've just released the album back then after Never Really Over. I would have done a bit better commercially, most likely.

[Bradley 44,423]

If she already had a vision for an album, why not just stick with NRO being the lead and construct a consistent visual direction for the era rather than going back and forth between concepts?

Her promotional strategy made it seem it was very ad-hoc, as if her songs and visuals are just gonna take whatever form being finally being pieced together into one whole album. This is obviously not gonna be as cohesive as After Hours and Chromatica.

Y'all really had to use the most unflattering image of her possible, eh?

i think she postponed the album on purpose. and i think the tracklist was all done but that she replaced two tracks with resilient & champagne problems (the only songs from the album recorded in 2020)

I believe the rumors that the cover was shot were circulating around the same time she did this interview. Hair color’s the same
