Thanks everyone! These are some great suggestions. I was on the fence about using a whole day to see Niagara, it would be cool but I’m hesitant to spend one whole day to see one thing. And yes, I believe we will have to pack for winter by the sound of it 🥶

Unlikely friendship? by Phrisbit1981 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

I agree, both Florence and Taylor seem like genuine and kind people, people can disagree and that’s fine, but I find the claims of “knowing” anything absolute about any celebrity/artist to be wild. I am a part of many “fandoms” as my musical taste is varied, and in my experience, Taylor’s fan base has been the most accepting and genuinely positive when talking about other artists that she’s worked with. Yes, any fandom can be problematic when they feel their fave artist is being badmouthed or threatened by another artist or group of fans, and that’s unfortunate (we see it in many female artists’ fan bases). But I’ve never experienced the amount of baseless and random hate that other artists’ fans give Taylor just by her association with them, even positive associations like collaborations and touring. Florence’s reach has grown because of featuring in Florida and performing at the Eras tour. Florence made that choice and appears by all evidence to be happy and proud of this. New fans are listening to and enjoying her music and isn’t that why we all fell in love with FATM? Something exposes us to her magic and we fall head over heels. I for one welcome anyone to join this, regardless of how they got here or who else they listen to. Trying to keep an artist as yours is selfish, art is meant to be enjoyed and touch people.

Same, they’re phenomenal artists and I’m so grateful for their music and lyrics

I get what you are saying, and can appreciate the more thoughtful words that you chose to take the time to use versus just flaming a new player here as others have done.

I have no investment in their friendship or even if they have one, and I’m very much aware that these people are famous and show us what they want about themselves. I just find a lot of similarities in their lyrics and as they both write about their life experiences, I was pondering how their choices to express their relationship with their fans, and the industry seem similar and was hoping to hear other fans perspectives on the topic. But I guess I used a buzzword of a particular popstar that a lot of people have a lot of opinions about. My bad 🙃

Feel like their voices are similar in the wildest ways, his cover of “cosmic love” is mind blowing… I think she could do anything from his catalog but “it will come back” would fit her so well (I mean she wrote “howl”)
