"If it's the first week of my album release and if you're saying either my name or my album title, you're helping"

Narcissistic of her to say. I usually give her benefit of the doubt cuz I am a fan, but this album is really not it.

This behavior will soon backlash for her. I hope she just takes the criticism like an adult and makes a better album. Or prolly elevate her artistry.

I wish she would approach this differently. Responding to criticism with dismissal even when it comes from a place of frustration can close the door to meaningful reflection. Every artist, no matter how accomplished, benefits from moments of honest feedback. Negative reviews don’t always signal failure; they often highlight perspectives that can inspire growth and refinement.
Acknowledging critique with grace doesn’t weaken confidence it strengthens credibility. True artistry involves both self-assurance and humility, knowing when to stand by your vision and when to listen. Growth often begins in the uncomfortable space between the artist’s intent and the audience’s response. 

There’s a difference between owning your narrative and refusing to listen. Bad reviews aren’t personal attacks; they’re part of the dialogue that comes with releasing art. If you truly believe in what you made, you don’t have to hide behind the noise. You face it, learn from it, and evolve.

Sending love to her. I hope she can change and grow.

This is just further proof she has no artistic integrity and just cares about the charts

It's comical how determined most of you are to hate on her.

I feel like the vast majority of the criticism I’ve seen of TLOAS is extremely valid.

There’s a difference between blatant hate and criticism. Commenting on her dating life or past relationships, imo, has always been weird and ugly. It always felt very misogynistic; I think THAT is unwarranted hate. However, when it comes to her music and how she presents herself as an “artist”, I think those are 100% valid critiques.
