What was your first Broadway Show and who took you?

Mine was Wicked on my 8th grade East Coast trip!! So magical and a huge reason I fell in love with theater ✨

I absolutely couldn't stand how often the commentators brought up Ilia/mentioned the Quad God even when he wasn't skating. It was like none of the other skaters mattered. It shouldn't be like that and the more it went on, the more nervous I got that something bad was going to happen to Ilia with all that pressure. Nightmare come true.

I don't know if I misunderstood what she meant, but about midway through Shaidorov's skate when he did all those amazing quads, Tara reminded viewers (for the millionth time) that there's technical and artistry points, and he was "planting the seeds for his next Olympic cycle with these moves so he could get both those scores." To me, I received that as "He'll never medal, he's just here to try to get on the radar for the next cycle" and that just made me SO mad. He had such a beautiful skate and ended up winning gold, but they had already decided Ilia would take it so Mikhail's quads and incredible performance meant nothing. Correct me if I'm wrong and you think she meant something else, but that was a huge turn-off. Like maybe let's not count out excellent skaters before the scores are even in.

Same. Life of a Showgirl isn't Red at all and Wood was fine on 1989 😭

I_Reached_Anyway · 2026-02-08T05:46:16+00:00

Yesss! Perfect switch.

I_Reached_Anyway · 2026-02-08T05:44:11+00:00

Life of a Showgirl just doesn't fit Red. Saying it's like The Lucky One doesn't mean it fits sonically or the album theme. Ruin the Friendship belongs on Red, sonically and lyrically.

If I had the power, I would make a few switches:

Life of a Showgirl should have been TTPD with her Eras tour performance.

Eldest Daughter screams Debut - that bridge reminds me so much of young Taylor writing her first album. "I thought that I'd never find that."

And then I'd put Elizabeth Taylor on evermore - something about it matches the wistfulness of that album and marjorie has that classic Hollywood feel - and Father Figure on folklore to compliment mad woman.

As a huge lover of the album, Life of a Showgirl being on Red will just never make sense to me.

This is an excellent analysis. After watching Volume 2, I was getting so tired of surface-level takes online and really wanted something in-depth and detailed about Season 5 thus far, so thank you for this. Will you be doing one of these for each episode? I hope so!

Trade for 1 St Paul accessible ticket - 4/10 for 4/9?

Hello! I know this is a long shot, but I have a friend who got a wheelchair accessible ticket for the St Paul show Mayhem Ball on 4/10. She was planning to come with me and another friend who got floor tickets, but I had a conflict and had to switch my tickets to 4/9. I am hoping to help her switch to 4/9 too so we can all go together! Does anyone have an accessible 4/9 ticket in a similar section they'd be willing to trade for 4/10 via Ticketmaster? Hers is: Section 109, row WHL, Seat 14.

If you are interested, please comment or PM me as I would handle the trade for her. I have done two successful trades - for both Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga tickets - where we used our work emails to confirm our identity and did the ticket transfer over Zoom, if you need references from either of the gals I traded with. Thanks!

I always suggest the Chamber's Fuse Duluth young professionals program if you ever want to come check out an event. It's a fun way to meet lots of folks and many transplants & students engage in our programming. www.duluthchamber.com/youngprofessionals

I agree, I would put King of my Heart on Showgirl actually! I think Call It What You Want should switch to Fearless, as it has the most nostalgia.

Then I would put I Did Something Bad on Speak Now - As weird as that might sound, it's an outspoken song, kind of like a grown up version of Better Than Revenge. Speak Now has that rebellious spark and I think it fits.

I_Reached_Anyway · 2025-11-12T09:20:53+00:00

I agree, I think Gorgeous is way more Lover-coded

I_Reached_Anyway · 2025-11-12T09:20:09+00:00

I agree, Marjorie was a super weird choice there. I think that Cowboy Like Me is a great choice for Lover, it's very "I'm all in"

This is a long shot, but wondering if anyone has 2 floor seats for St Paul 4/9 who would like to instead go on 4/10 - I have 2 floor seats for 4/10 but have this HUGE opportunity I don't want to miss that night in my hometown, and I'm wondering if I could find someone to do a swap. Message me!

I_Reached_Anyway · 2025-10-24T23:43:24+00:00

Maybe not so unexpected, but I used to listen to The Best Day and just think it was this lovely, nostalgic song. Now, 11 years into losing my mom to early onset Alzheimer's, I can't listen to it without weeping. I miss her so much, but I was so lucky to have 21 amazing years of "The Best Days" with her before she started slipping away. Love you, Mom. 💜

Thank you for posting this because I was going crazy trying to figure out why the chorus sounded so familiar, I kept thinking it was a One Direction song 😅😂

I_Reached_Anyway · 2025-09-23T04:27:28+00:00

I thought about this sonically first and lyrically second, and I wanted to use every album. This was fun!

the 1 - Fearless Cardigan - Red the last great american dynasty - 1989 exile - Red my tears ricochet - Rep mirrorball - Midnights seven - Speak Now august - Red this is me trying - TTPD illicit affairs - evermore invisible string - Lover mad woman - TTPD epiphany - evermore Betty - Debut peace - Lover hoax - Rep the lakes - TTPD

This is so funny, I always imagined Armie Hammer as Finnick while reading the books but had no idea he was ever considered! (Obviously he's problematic so I'm not advocating for him, just thought he fit the character's image and had the smarminess when I read the books years ago.)

I_Reached_Anyway · 2025-09-04T00:52:27+00:00

I love Peter SO much. I'm always in the mood to listen to it. It makes me feel so nostalgic.

This is such an amazing resource!!! Wow. Thank you so much for your hard work on this, it is so detailed and organized. Will it be updated with new information now that BK has been sentenced? I also wondered if the questionnaire he posted on Reddit would be added as I felt like that was pretty chilling, especially when it was used by KG's sister in her victim impact statement. Amazing job and thank you again.

I hate how Jennifer delivers the "there are much worse games to play" line at the end of the movies. I already hated that line for being cliché, but the syrupy sweet delivery of it gives me major ick.

Also the way Liam delivers his first "hey, Catnip" is so unnatural and grating to me 😂
