    Annnnd Tomberlin's Wikipedia page has already been updated...

    Career[edit]
    Tomberlin released her debut full-length album in 2018 on Saddle Creek Records, titled At Weddings. The album was positively received by numerous publications.[3][4][5]

    On July 24, 2020, Tomberlin tweeted allegations that Taylor Swift had plagiarized her lyrics, claiming that Taylor "[put her] own little twist on lyrics already written and then literally rebranding [herself] to sell said art". Tomberlin did not cite any specific examples to back up her claims."

    I mean I think Tomberlin’s tweets were pretty stupid and all but someone taking the time to write that into her Wikipedia page is pretty weird

    I checked it out earlier when I first heard who she was/what this was all about, so this had to have happened within the last 6 hours or so.

    Interesting. Yeah idk. I don’t mean to defend Tomberlin because she’s definitely the one in the wrong here, but I think altering a Wikipedia page is sort of silly.

    Sonofabitch I never made the connection that was his great-grandfather. I’ve seen 4 movies he scored, too, and just never occurred to me.

    I made a double-disc TS greatest hits album today for my wife to include stuff from folklore, and it was much more difficult than I anticipated.

    I was completely unfamiliar with tomberlin before this episode, and while I do think her original attack was completely and utterly misdirected, and her subsequent doublings and triplings down on what she originally said are unfortunate and ultimately dumb, the album that she has out is pretty damn great. Unfortunate situation.

    I'll just add this:

    It really does suck though that some artists have to say stuff that grabs a lot of attention to get more recognition because people don't seek out new music. I said previously that Tomberlin is still more popular than most musicians, but the album she put out in 2018 is criminally underrated, especially on here, so I empathize with the fact that it's hard being a musician and getting tons of people to check out your work, even though she has it better than most musicians out there.

    got in the weeds for the color, & meet me behind the mall for the cover

    Was considering a pullover cause I’m really liking the merch aesthetic for this record but “THE folklore ALBUM” being branded on everything kinda turned me away
