except for OR. i’m being serious when i say that even if a lot of these artists did not explicitly use the fact that they’re influenced by taylor to promote their music (but many did!) they at least dabbled in ‘👉🏼👈🏼🥺 people think i sound like taylor swift.’ it’s a common

it’s interesting to me that nearly every remotely successful pop/ss woman who emerged in the industry in the last five years has used taylor’s influence to promote at the beginning of their career, and every one has been able to either shed their light lifting or grow into it

Zohran Mamdani is pressed on La Mega Radio if he lied when he said his aunt stopped taking the subway after the Sept. 11 attacks. Mamdani said: "It's not a lie. My father's cousin is my aunt." He said that was how he referred to her growing up.

it is still absolutely ridiculous to start to celebrate christmas prior to halloween, so sorry. before you ‘only americans care about halloween like that!’ it is october and a solid two months of nonsense genuinely ruins the spirit and excitement of christmas imo!
