I’d just like everyone to know that after my haircut this morning the stylist told me she was off on maternity leave soon and in a tired fumble I said “i hope you love your baby”. I HOPE. YOU LOVE. YOUR BABY.

being a musician is a lol because some days you’re consumed by the constant dread of an uncertain future but some days you get to just play synth for like 8 hours so that’s cool.

I resent the narrative that this time should be be a productive, skill-building, self-improvement fest for us all. it’s ok to feel useless ! it’s ok to take this one day at a time. it’s ok to not be able to think about anything else ! !.

a couple of years ago I sold a keyboard to a kid on gumtree. I bumped into him on a train this evening & he told me he’d been playing ‘I go crazy’ on the same keyboard. he found the song over the summer & then realised it was by me, that ginger from gumtree. COOL.

this is dark. good music takes time & the pressure on artists to pump out content & music factory-line style encourages a straight up quantity over quality approach. lowering the bar means lots of music. lots of rushed, less considered music.
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek says working musicians can no longer release music only “once every three to four years.”.

have always respected Taylor's decision to re-record because fucK labels owning artists' masters but wow, like it's genuinely great. the key change at the end brought TEARS TO MY EYES.
I’m thrilled to tell you that my new version of Fearless (Taylor’s Version) is done and will be with you soon. It has 26 songs including 6 never before released songs from the vault. Love Story (Taylor’s Version) will be out tonight. Pre-order now at 💛💛
