I'll never understand the hate for The Cure

Who would have thought somebody in there is streaming "Jewels and Drugs"

that can't be their IQ... 43 is moderate mental disbility

Is like when Brad and Angelina make an appearance in red carpet but everything in home is a mess.

Larsson says that Midnight Sun’s cultural moment is a happy accident. It was a fan who paired her and Clean Bandit’s 2017 hit Symphony with kaleidoscopic dolphin art for a viral TikTok in 2024; Larsson just leaned into her marketing savvy to bring Y2K mermaid-core style to Midnight Sun. After fans started creating DIY versions of her airbrushed baby tees, she introduced a moment in her show where she spray-paints one for a lucky fan. Has she learned that her instincts are better than a record label’s? “Yes,” she replies instantly. “I get this weekly data update of my chart positions and monthly listeners from my label. And it’s not interesting to me to look at because that’s last week’s data. It’s already old. I want to ask, ‘What are we creating, what are we doing now?’” She is putting the finishing touches to a Midnight Sun deluxe edition with all-women guest stars. Her label, Epic, “want me to release a new song before it drops to tease it”, she says. “And I’m like: it ruins the project and the specific rollout that I have planned.” It’s all a play for stats, which she finds depressing: “Playing the chart game is so dead to me. No one’s looking at the charts but industry people and maybe Taylor Swift fans.” Sometimes fame can feel like a Faustian bargain, with scrutiny, sexism and presidential subtweets coming as part of the package. As her star has kept rising, Larsson has been wondering if there are limits to how much fame she can take. Could she handle it if she was as famous as, say, Chappell Roan, now in regular standoffs with the paparazzi? “The more people hate her, the more I love her,” says Larsson. “I don’t like how she’s being treated at all. When a woman has boundaries, I think people freak out. Men can do violent criminal things and people applaud them, but when a woman says, ‘Stop following me,’ it’s controversial? It’s like: you guys just hate women, actually. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/apr/03/zara-larsson-popstar-interview-on-fame-fun-fighting-the-power-lush-life

Deleteeeeee omg I look so bad here

That’s what Montreal deserved 😂 after the broken hip in 2011

Constantly pulling focus

He’s contemplating firing Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick as well.

They are just being so cute and normal, and she seems happy. I would do and post something like this with my bf. Bless them, if it works it works.

Elizabeth Taylor departs the global Spotify chart after re-entering at #115 yesterday

TikTok taught me a new term: "Collective effervescence" Explains why we get so emotional at concerts or in disaster areas. But also why space travel moves me so much These people are on their way to the moon and why? Literally just 'cause we can go there. It's that basic human drive to explore, expand, experiment, experience, and LEARN. And when we launch missions like this our races, genders, orientations, borders, classes, differences of any kind simply do not matter. This is a human endeavor and the best example of what our species is capable of when we decide to cooperate and create I'll always love space exploration It's the purest form of human experience

What a c*nty little diva. A shame we're flopping so hard and fumbling her

they at the chop ho gala 😍😍

Correct. It is.

Mother Earth is looking gooood and serving face, despite the constant trauma we inflict on her! (Although lowkey I can’t think about this pic too deeply otherwise I get very existential )

Right. It's generic but still a cute bop.

I would have crashed out omg SO many absolutely iconic GAGA bops and then she plays that??? Playing literally anything else from the ASIB born record mom Hell I'll even take "father, son and house of Gucci" on repeat over it

43 the number of times he did the dishes and 33.1 is the number of time she honored the agreement.

Unfortunately I grew up on the space coast, I watched this thing launch from my front yard I remember as a kid we had a field trip to the Kennedy Space Center and the class did a mock space shuttle launch where all the kids were assigned jobs in the control room and I was the communications officer and I got to geek out as I talked to "the media" about the process Met some astronauts that were like "woah this kid knows more than I do!" which, definitely a lie to make a little kid feel special, but man The space program keeps me in my feels it's the only thing I'll miss when I leave this state tbh

I still don’t like her music but I still love her as a person. More every day.

She's a beauty but the humans she surrounds herself with kind of taint that

Of course she’d be pictured smiling next to someone like him, birds of a feather lol

Falling Forever <3

and if you say you’re ok I’m gonna play this song anyway

I mean, based on her retelling of the story though, it sounds like his advice was “trust your gut and don’t throw out what you’ve already done.” She wrote PC later in the process and considered reworking the whole album in that vein and was stressed about making it cohere and he basically told her she didn’t have to second guess herself.

AND IF YOU SAY YOU'RE OK IM GOiNG TO KILL YOU ANYWAY

Now which one of you f*ggots is the staffer that wrote this

That small push for being used as the anti-BTS anthem on Twitter is cute. +13% streams in weekly performance

BTW has higher highs MAYHEM is more consistently good

Idk. Why are we posting our genitals on instagram?

Chromatica because it really is nearly the same song 13 times with some interludes. Just goes to show that cohesion is a poor quality to use when you're judging an album. Though special shout out to Mayhem for managing to sound cohesive while still putting so many different incredible sounds on display

100% Chromatica, then The Fame.

Its not any different.

I remember when we got Joanne and some fans said that there were no "radio friendly" songs that could be released as singles because it was a very chill album. Then we got The Cure as a gift and yes it's kinda generic but very radio friendly and was a good way to test Gaga's streaming numbers and fans were still not happy because it wasn't their Bad Romance 3.0 daRK poP they wanted.

I think what they’re saying, and I agree to an extent, is that the “high art” narrative has always been a bit contrived. The answer has always been that Gaga deliberately blends elements of highbrow and lowbrow, but I think sometimes she would conceptualize herself into corners. ARTPOP is actually a great example of this: the whole era is, to a large extent, her rebelling against and deconstructing the initial iteration of her persona so she could create more space to branch out into different fields without always being pigeonholed as a shock jockey performance artist. Part of the brilliance of the way her image and persona have evolved over the years is that she effectively foreshadowed a lot of her future endeavors and transformed many facets of her life and talents into a dynamic and multifaceted persona and that shouldn’t work on paper, but does. For example, her jazzy renditions of Poker Face, her doing jazz covers in 2010 in a sense foreshadowed C2C and her later jazz work, ASIB in a way reflects and mirrors the most vulnerable sides of pre-fame Gaga (the center of the Gaga Russian nesting doll in a way), BR + BTW + Applause MVs foreshadow a lot of what Gaga finally elevates and integrates in the MAYHEM era (being the eye in the storm of her creativity, being both the artist and the creation etc.) in a way that I actually think layers really nicely ontop of each other if you understand the iterations of her persona (as she seems to now) as pieces of a sprawling and interwoven puzzle where all of her creative visions (both avant garde and conventional) are possible, permissible, and believable. That being said, I think she was right to acknowledge that frontloading with concept can be more of a creative block than it is an asset because, had she not deconstructed the original iteration of her persona during the ARTPOP era, she would’ve restricted her ability to evolve in an organic and multifaceted way because she would always be thinking about “how does this track onto the previous narrative arc I’ve assigned to my heavily curated persona and the world in which that persona lives?” By removing that as a block, she can allow herself to create and then integrate her projects into an overarching narrative, which allows for her to create without over editing upfront, but still exercising editorial discretion when finalizing.

The ageism Kylie received for this song was disgusting, this is a banger and also she looked amazing in the music video.

Turns out I’m psychic If y’all don’t mind like the vid to help my Tiktok page out

I would say they are better than Chapelle. Sorry about it.
