I know Taylor Swift is overly talked about right now, but don't write her off completely if you aren't already a fan. Her Midnights album took me to "swiftie" status I think, despite my girls loving her for years.
I tell my friends discussing her music with friends is like sharing your Trader Joe's purchases. Sometimes I would never think to try x product at TJ's except a friend told me they loved it and look, now it's our favorite. So, on that note I am going to recommend Mastermind or High Infidelity or You're On Your Own Kid from her Midnights album.
Ahhh thanks for this, it’s perfect! Funny enough we have been listening to TS’s “Lovers” album on recommendation from my 14-yo niece and I told C, “I think we have been sleeping on Taylor Swift.” 😅
Ohh Lover album is gooood. My goal is to memorize the bridge to Death By a Thousand Cuts, ha.
I get irked by those that criticize the devoted fans of TS and all her easter eggs. Led Zeppelin and other artists in that “era” (no pun intended) did so long before her & I have never heard them ridiculed for it. I feel like you could write something about this double standard...
Speaking of music, I have already declared Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo our Halloween song for 2023. For someone who doesn’t particularly enjoy that holiday, I am looking forward to it and her entire Guts album!
I absolutely love this thought about the lists for their age! I am a seasonal bucket list devotee and love this take on it. Hope you have a joyous summer!
I loved this description on the magic of your kiddo's end of school ceremonies! "For one year I saw what it’s like when a whole community of kids thrive, and it made me feel something more like a whole human. And I’m grateful." We forget that this was the first "normal" year -- when COVID didn't dominate, when they weren't in masks, or afraid of another virulent strain. I share your gratitude!
This is such a great point! Thank you. I find myself tearing up at like every public performance and gathering and I’m like, is it hormones? Or is it just post-covid gratitude? :) I like to think it’s the latter :)
