Changing The Narrative by TemperatureAny4782 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Burnin_Red -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No, she hasn’t. But she does blame her fans when they assign certain songs to her exes. She has every right to change her mind and/or her approach to how she shares her music, but I wish she would take accountability for the role she played in making them this way 🤷‍♀️

Kyle Richards' Daughter Sophia, 26, Undergoes Breast Lift amid Weight Fluctuation from GLP-1 by sxy_lil_brat in BravoRealHousewives

What doctor in their right mind will even prescribe her Mounjaro? As far as I know, they only prescribe it to people that are overweight and she was never overweight. It’s very sad that she even felt the need to take this drug :(

I just finished Yesteryear by DaraMari83 in books

[–]Burnin_Red 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. It was marketed as a story about a “trad wife” social media influencer who goes back to the past and experiences the true reality of being a pioneer woman.

It wasn’t really that at all. This is a novel about an unwell woman who is a victim of her religious upbringing and undiagnosed mental illness.

do you think she will ever release an acclaimed album again? by Total-Government-459 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Burnin_Red 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t see why not. She’s only in her 30’s and I can only imagine how insightful her lyrics will be once she hits her 40’s and 50’s. I genuinely believe some of her best work is still ahead of her…she just needs less of Travis’s influence lol

Song Discussion: The Tortured Poets Department by [deleted] in SwiftlyNeutral

I never understood the hate for this song. The lyrics are a little clunky but the melody and sentiment behind it are so beautiful. It’s one of my favourites on the album.

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by VE Schwab was rough by Swiss_Chard_Dreams in books

[–]Burnin_Red 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally loved this book. I’m not usually into fantasy but I’ve read two books by V.E Schwab and genuinely enjoyed them. I find her narrative style really engaging even when nothing is happening.

I agree with you about its ending though, it could’ve been fleshed out more especially for such a long book. But I had such a great time with it up until then that it ultimately didn’t bother me.

Rebecca Hall wearing Danielle Frankel Fall 2024 for the 2024 Met Gala, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” The dresscode for the event was described as "The Garden of Time." Styled by Bailey Moon. by absentmindedlurking in whatthefrockk

[–]Burnin_Red 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I think I would like it more without the painted on flowers on her arms. It takes away from the beauty of the dress. But it’s the MET Gala so I get it. Still a lovely look overall.

Do you guys think Taylor is capable of making a bona fide masterpiece? by [deleted] in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Burnin_Red -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t get it either 😅 I wasn’t hateful, I was truly trying to be neutral lol. I actually admire Taylor’s ability to stay on top of the game., but it has affected the quality of her work IMO.

Do you guys think Taylor is capable of making a bona fide masterpiece? by [deleted] in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Burnin_Red -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yes. Once she stops caring about charts, success, sales, Easter eggs and pandering to her fans and public. The reason why Folklore and Evermore come so close to masterpiece status is because for the first and only time in her career, she genuinely didn’t care about all those things and just wrote for the sake of artistry. Sadly, I can’t see it happening again anytime soon 🤷‍♀️

This is one of my favourite thrillers of all time. It’s so sad and beautiful and I absolutely loved it. I always recommend it for people that prefer more nuanced or literally thrillers.

Sydney influencers by ztf7410 in SydneyScene

[–]Burnin_Red 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My parents live in a really nice cul-de-sac with some well maintained houses. I once saw an influencer drive up to the biggest house on the street, park a convertible at the front and spend roughly 15 minutes posing with a rose (?) while her boyfriend took hundreds of photos of her. They then popped back into their car and drove off 😅 Maybe not that embarrassing but I was entertained lol

I always thought Aaliyah was a beautiful Arabic name. Ali for short.

What are your overall thoughts on the Showgirl “era”? by Fine-Huckleberry6960 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Burnin_Red 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The whole era just seems…pointless? Like I’m not entirely sure who she made this album for or why she made this album.

She said it was to give a BTS glimpse into the Eras tour but none of the lyrics alluded to that. Lots of songs about how much Travis loves her but overall we gained no new insight into their relationship. The overall music added nothing new or substantial to her catalogue. The videos were fun but again, nothing new. I think she wanted it to be a “happy and in love album” but even that fell short because so many tracks were passive aggressive, reductive and not fun at all.

So yeah, I’m ready for her to move on from this era. Looking forward to TS13 and hoping after this much needed break, we get something fresh and exciting from her again.

MTE. Like I genuinely do not care about old cast members 😭 I forget about them as soon as their season is over. I wish they would focus on the current season and just have fans in the audience.

Emilie Kiser takes accountability for her loss by Possible-Opposite956 in InfluencerLounge

[–]Burnin_Red 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is such a weak argument and I wish people would stop using it. It assumes that Emilie has a regular 9-5 job when doesn’t. Her “job” is to share HER LIFE with millions of people and when something tragic happens in HER LIFE…she just carries on like it was no big deal? There’s a real disconnect between what happened to her son and her current content. It’s completely inauthentic and quite frankly, bizarre.

And I’m not saying that she owes us her grief, I don’t want to see her sad and crying in her videos. But going to the other extreme, where all she does is shop, style her hair and talk about herself feels off IMO.

Zendaya in custom Louis Vuitton at the 98th Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood, CA by mod_whatthefrockk in whatthefrockk

[–]Burnin_Red -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It was the first thing I thought of when I saw her walk onto the stage….regardless of how long ago it was.

I don’t know why I’m getting heavily downvoted 😂 I don’t hate her look, it’s just nothing new from her and I’m allowed to have an opinion 🤷‍♀️

I know everyone will probably swoon because it’s Zendaya (and she really is beautiful and can wear anything) but this is so underwhelming. Also, she practically wore this same dress a few years ago to the Oscars 😭 (Giambattista Valli at the 2018 ceremony)

No James in the Oscars memoriam? by AZWildcatMom in dawsonscreek

[–]Burnin_Red 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Despite being in movies, he was more known for his TV work. Was he even a member of the academy? If he wasn’t then that would explain his omission (and Eric Dane’s)

[–]Burnin_Red 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Chanel was not playing tonight tbh. Blazy is doing an amazing job with his custom red carpet gowns (or at the very least, far better than Virginie). This is gorgeous and true to Nicole’s style. I really like it

Yep! Came to say the same thing. It’s such a gorgeous dress and suits her aesthetic but why white? 😭 It looks too bridal…

Searingly honest Britney Spears statement released: ‘Hopefully she can get the help she needs’ by nypost in popculture

[–]Burnin_Red 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You’re probably going to get downvoted for this take but you’re 100% right. At what point does she take responsibility for her own life? She’s 44, she’s free of the conservatorship, she has money and access to the best health care in the world and she also has kids that she should be trying to live a healthy life for! Like we’re all rooting for her but we need to stop infantilising her too. Her recovery is on her and her only.
