Also I had first heard of Gabriette thro TikTok not Matty. She had a big following and would make these delicious Vegan meals and had this black cake that went viral lol

2024-06-25 17:20:24 +0000 UTCLoved the episode i have been a fan of Charli since 2011 and am glad shes getting recognition. One criticism of people finally liking her - her music has been amazing and revolutionary since the beggining. She has been critically praised for a decade. You all need to explore her discography

2024-06-25 10:24:32 +0000 UTCTaylor would definitely say something of ppl were shouting something like that at her concert. I think it speaks to her fan base that nothing like that has happened at the eras tour. It was the friendliest audience I've ever been with

2024-06-25 08:18:21 +0000 UTCIn your review of TTPD, you couldn't enjoy it because you were so disgusted by Matty Healy. But Charli XCX is a close personal friend of his. If Taylor is likely racist for briefly dating Matty, wouldn't that be even more true for his inner circle? Charli is far closer friends with him and as you said, engaged to George, his bandmate. Charli also unfollowed Rina Sawayama after she called out Matty's racism. Doesn't it seem like maybe we are holding Taylor to a standard that we don't hold others? Charli also claims to be a feminist, yet she has promoted the red scare podcast which is actively racist, homophobic, and tells their audience that it's always better to have an eating disorder than be fat. If Taylor Swift did that, I am convinced we would have her cancelled within an inch of her life.

2024-06-24 21:37:01 +0000 UTCShannon, you gotta stop apologizing for bringing up Taylor! I think you just gotta say fuck y’all, she’s literally the biggest pop star and intentionally makes herself the center of pop culture (I mean come on what she did to Billie and Charli on the charts is begging for attention) — of course she’s going to come up on a podcast about pop culture! If people are that triggered by her I’m not sure why they would even listen to the pod. Real Floozeths understand; it’s a small minority of people that get annoyed by the TS talk that make themselves the loudest and attack you cause they have nothing else to do. Sorry, I just had to say it cause I truly feel bad for you, and this is coming from a fan of Taylor and her music who is very embarrassed of Swifties and highly critical of Taylor, which is kinda the worst thing to be online right now 😭 all love, continue being yourself and steering into the skid 💗

2024-06-24 16:54:11 +0000 UTCDid you see charli’s story about asking people to stop chanting ‘Taylor is dead’ at her shows? I think it speaks to her character (whereas Taylor actively targets other women in the industry)…..

2024-06-24 16:31:38 +0000 UTCthe symphony version of “good for you” in her doc on Disney+ is so incredible!!

2024-06-24 15:09:35 +0000 UTCOkay I actually loved the point you made about how Taylor Swift seems to conform to the expectations of others while Charli xcx focuses on doing her own thing. I think Taylor is way more numbers driven than Charli.

2024-06-24 14:14:30 +0000 UTCOO! I’m going to look that up
Shannon McNamara
2024-06-24 13:56:36 +0000 UTCOh that’s a good idea
Shannon McNamara
2024-06-24 13:56:19 +0000 UTCYes that was it! I want an acoustic version. And piano. I want her to Taylor swift “obsessed” and make 50 versions of it haha
Shannon McNamara
2024-06-24 13:56:12 +0000 UTCoh maybe it’s the “live from rehearsal” version

2024-06-24 13:28:15 +0000 UTCI was wondering where you found the acoustic version of obsessed by olivia rodrigo? I can’t seem to find it 😢
Mathilde Morelli
2024-06-24 13:25:08 +0000 UTCI also think that guy who got her to DJ at the rave at 14 probably was a creep but she brought her parents so he backed off
