Also I know this isn't the point there but poor people can wear sparkles, too. I've known plenty of girls who did.
If it wasn’t for this performance I would’ve never listened to her. Or any country music for that matter. I absolutely detested country music until I saw this performance that night
threw on both released songs today during a drive and they both really grew on me reallllllllly fast, I can tell this album is gonna be something very special
We’re close enough to the release that I can talk about it right? It’s simultaneously what I was afraid she would make but sticks the landing. It opens the songwriting and sonic lanes for her that she obviously wanted to go down but doesn’t sacrifice what got her there. I can absolutely see this being someone’s favorite Kacey Musgraves album.
Anyone know if the movie will be out at midnight east coast, local time, or what? It's Paramount+ I dunno what they usually do for premiere timing
Yeah "on release day" so definitely Friday, I just dunno if that means like... 9pm for me tomorrow night on west coast or if it's midnight
Now I want to know what you were afraid she would do. I know what I was afraid of, so I’m curious if we are coming from the same place on that.
I was afraid she would embrace modern sonics and lean far into being a more mainstream pop figure. “High Horse” was a fun song but it felt like a costume to me. Was afraid that the whole album would feel like that if she followed those impulses. This is that but also… it isn’t? She’s doing all kinds of things, stacking it with ideas when what I prefer from her is Pageant Material era tight songwriting. But in some ways I find it a more natural fit for her personality than Golden Hour. It’s a bit overwrought, and I don’t love how she talks about her marriage (but like… it’s her marriage, who the heck am I to talk?) as a fan of her and her ex-husband’s music. But there are a ton of sad songs on here and she’s so good at that… she’s still a really great communicator and someone who you want to root for. Idk I’ve had it like a week and wanted to spin it a few times daily so that’s a good sign. Excited to figure out how to articulate my thoughts alongside everybody else. I think folks here will like it but still wish she made a different record. I am not particularly looking forward to this film though. I’ve had the treatment for months and I’m not sure I’d even watch it if my fiancé didn’t want to see it.
