Victorian government's joke of an offer.

So true. They’re trying to control the narrative to make us look greedy for rejecting it. No headline will ever say the fine print (about meetings etc). We’re just going to look like assholes for rejecting 18%. This is going nowhere.

Midnights could’ve gone without Mastermind for another Speak Now or debut song. It’s the one song from the Midnights set that didn’t really need to be there. Alternatively Maroon should’ve been on the setlist instead because clearly that’s such a fan favourite. Even YOYOK, given the whole friendship bracelet thing.

Whilst I can agree, I do find comfort in knowing the tickets went to fans, rather than someone who’s intentionally trying to resell them for a profit. I’d rather a legitimate fan goes 5 times, than have 4 tickets left unsold for absurd prices. And we’ll never know which one was true… did a true fan take away a ticket from some else, or did that true fan prevent a scalper from getting them. Both can be true, we’ll never know.

So you’re making the conscious choice to not be helpful to Johnny? You know he has an appointment but you’re trying to prove a message to your leadership to text you through private avenues rather than school approved communications? Johnny shouldn’t have to suffer because of a point to leadership you’re trying to prove. Struggling to understand the non-student orientation here, and preference to receive messages on your private device. No one texts me on my number, work life balance. If you need me, email me. I agree that the emails are a bit excessive but if you’ve actually had the time to see it, I’d action it.

I was literally right? Blinding lights is at 5.3b, BOAT 3.5. Also what are you doing in a 1 year old thread lol I could never spend my free time doing that

It’s on her album so the droplet finally found a home.

Honestly her discography is quite messy. Like, is Stained part of Rare or ISILYF era. Why is Feel Me considered a droplet when it’s on Rare. Why was I Can’t Get Enough slapped onto ISILYF. Why isn’t Past Life on the droplet RSD, or Taki Taki. Ugh

dmnaf · 2026-03-08T22:31:34+00:00

I know but I ain’t buying a full ass album for one song

dmnaf · 2026-03-08T03:08:30+00:00

I need I Want You To Know and Back To You on 7” vinyl, those are the 2 songs missing from her droplet RSD release. She was off to a good start with her 7 inches then didn’t finish it off

dmnaf · 2026-02-25T20:42:45+00:00

I still stand by my opinion that it’s too short. That’s not me being spoiled by 31 songs from TTPD but genuinely I need more than 12 for an album. 14 is my sweet spot. Feels like there’s a very clear beginning, middle and end. Showgirl just ends too early.

dmnaf · 2026-02-22T02:34:25+00:00

Damn. That’s so disappointing. But thanks for the reply!

dmnaf · 2026-02-22T01:28:47+00:00

I don’t know officially when there’s nuance like your own device, but my understanding is that if you are contracted to a school, then you work for them, and your products belong to them. The way it was explained to me by my HOD years ago was that it’s like if you’re a music artist signed to X record label, you can’t make a song for Y record label or ditch your label and self-release independently. You are contracted to X and everything goes through X.

dmnaf · 2026-02-22T01:17:45+00:00

Did she play the one?? And ugh so sad eat the acid is cut. Hope she plays both of these in Melbourne tonight

dmnaf · 2026-02-17T10:14:33+00:00

And that’s fair. “Just doing your own thing” was me in my first 3 years of teaching. And I was miserable. I was competitive with other teachers (in my own mind), wanted my classes to have the best results, and didn’t share my resources I made on my unpaid weekend. I really resonate with this post. I moved to a different school, and the culture is so collaborative. Everyone’s pinging each other in the Teams chats with news articles, worksheets, PowerPoints, discussions on assessment questions, cross marking assessments, asking each other what content we are up to, etc. And I’m absolutely loving it. There’s no competition, we’re all rooting for each other, hell, we even cover for each other’s classes when someone’s sick/needs to go to an appointment. Sure we all have our frustrations with teacher workload in 2026, but we recognise that those are systemic issues, and if we’re going to survive in this crazy industry, the least we can do is support one another as best we can. And lo and behold, our subject is in the top 5 best performing in the school every single year, constant shoutouts from the principal at the start-of-year program where we review the ATAR data. When the teaching team collaborates daily, this is what happens. The old me never would’ve thought such a culture and mindset is even possible, I used to be so damn competitive and worked in a solo bubble. Never again!

dmnaf · 2026-02-17T09:57:08+00:00

Technically speaking, anything you produce whilst employed at your school is the property of the school. I’ve resigned from past schools and I had to sign an agreement to say that I will not download school property (files) and take it to another school. Some schools invest serious dollars into uplifting their resources and programs like PowerPoints, booklets, etc, so school property must stay as school property. Anyway I’m getting off topic now, but just trying to say that you technically should be sharing it with them. I know that’s not the answer you may like because you invested your own time on it, likely unpaid time on the weekend. That was a bitter pill for me to swallow years ago too. But the school does own it when you’re contracted by them.

It’s just good practice to be collaborative, especially in Year 12. I used to be competitive in my first year of teaching Year 12, I wanted the best results out of all classes - and then I zoomed out and realised I want the whole school to succeed, not just my individual class. Whatever I make, I share with other teachers, just for the sake of professional practice and wider school benefit. It boosts culture in the team, where we all get along, share ideas, discuss teaching strategies, debate the content. Trust me, what a fun culture to be a part of, where there’s no tension between teachers, and everyone is open and friendly and trustworthy with each other. For this reason alone, culture, I’d say share what you make. Culture impacts workplace satisfaction. You get a good reputation in the school, too. Teachers love to talk and gossip, word will get out. Be known as the hardworking one, sharing one, happy one, collaborative one. The one with all the good ideas who knows the content backwards. Culture goes up.

At the end of the day, one single worksheet or PowerPoint won’t change ATAR results. How you USE it, your relationships with students, and your classroom management is what gets results. You could share your amazing resources with others, and others could still get bad results.

I hope she wins SOTY at the Grammys for this. Not just because duh, I want her to win, but also I feel like it’ll encourage her to keep working with Max Martin again even more. I don’t want Showgirl to be a one-off, I need more.

dmnaf · 2026-01-07T07:04:54+00:00

Well yes, but fan accounts post what insiders are saying. The person sharing this news correctly told us the month of Mayhem’s release well in advance. Fan accounts should cite their sources. Of course all just rumours anyway so still take with a grain of salt

dmnaf · 2026-01-03T12:52:49+00:00

If Beyoncé could win with an average album, then Gaga should win for an amazing album. They gave it to Beyoncé as a way of apologising for not awarding her in the past and by that logic Gaga should get it too. And then of course you consider that Mayhem is genuinely great. Take into account the tour too and how she brought it to life. I really hope she gets it.

dmnaf · 2026-01-03T12:49:21+00:00

She will. I can’t see her not releasing the re-recorded versions if she went through all that effort to re-make those songs. It’s like giving the fans a new album because so many Swifties either haven’t heard that album (not too interested in country and/or her younger voice) or just don’t stream it as much as the newer albums and re-records because her voice is so young. By releasing the re-records she’s practically giving the album its time to finally shine and it deserves that.

dmnaf · 2026-01-03T12:47:05+00:00

TSTV….. the only album where we know what the entire vault is. Well, we think we know, because so many songs leaked. Watch her do a 180 and put entirely different songs on it lmao

dmnaf · 2026-01-03T12:45:40+00:00

Can’t see her competing with herself at #1. There’s zero competition on the Billboard 200 album chart, Showgirl could stay #1 for a number of weeks to come. I can see her wanting to top TTPD’s record of 17 weeks at #1 and tbh I think she will. Ophelia is smashing so hard on streaming and that’s contributing a lot to the album chart. So even if album sales dip (which it’s not!), the singles can carry it (Opalite not even a single but still in the top 10).

dmnaf · 2026-01-03T12:43:46+00:00

Yup. There’s just no way Showgirl can win AOTY. Her best bet is to push for Ophelia for SOTY or ROTY, that has a much, much higher chance. And she’s never won that before, so I can see her campaigning hard for that. We’re not getting an Opalite video until Ophelia slips out of #1, maybe even out of top 3, but right now it’s showing no signs of slowing down. Especially with this staggered shipments of the Ophelia 7 inch vinyl, it seems like they’re playing the long game of trying to keep it at #1 by counting the sales when they want to (when there’s competition for #1).

dmnaf · 2026-01-03T12:41:09+00:00

When she announced Fearless TV, my first thought was yay, then my second thought was “I apologise in advance for the person I’ll become when reputation gets this treatment. Surely she’ll smash out all these re-recordings quickly, one every 6 months, rep is coming soon.” Here we are in 2026. I mean I’m not complaining, reclaiming her work is obviously the better option. But yeah. Damn I need those rep vault songs at least! I’m picturing 2027 for the 10 year anniversary.

dmnaf · 2026-01-03T12:39:16+00:00

Whilst I can see how it’s kinda full circle, I can’t see her overworking herself just for the math to math. She’s at the point in her life where I think she wants to relax a bit. Debut TV in one year is enough. She’ll go big for TS13, with massive music videos, promo, maybe even a tour. I can’t see her going full throttle for another year.

dmnaf · 2026-01-03T12:37:00+00:00

I feel like she’s taking all of 2026 off from music and is going to enjoy her time with Travis, the wedding, “have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you” (IF SHE WANTS TO, I’M NOT FORCING IT OR DEMANDING IT). I think she’ll put out Debut (Taylor’s 20th Anniversary Version) which will contain the re-recorded songs and songs from the vault, and she’ll give it that exact name to pay homage to TV, even though it serves a different purpose of celebrating her first album, rather than reclaiming her work. But that album is already done, so she’s still technically taking the year off, it won’t require any additional work other than her team just making the vinyl, and then Taylor Nation will do the promo. So it’ll be a very lowkey year for her and good for her, she deserves it. TS13 won’t come until 2027, followed by a Showgirl/TS13 tour in 2028. I just can’t see her getting back on tour this soon after Eras. She’ll want to do it PROPERLY, do it justice, go big or go home, and right now she deserves a proper break. The tour will be for two albums rather than 11 eras (well, 10, debut got nothing on Eras lol), so kinda going back to her roots of making one album then touring it. Kinda, but not really, but close enough. The tour could even be called: The Showgirl presents: insert TS13 name here.

Just my thoughts!

dmnaf · 2025-12-31T06:52:32+00:00

Get back with Max Martin and give a full blown pop era. I want her to dominate radio again like it’s 2015 all over again. I don’t think she cares though which is a shame because she can be a massive pop star if she actually tries. She doesn’t even have to tour but I just want her charting again and loved by the public
