I am a lifelong HUGE U2 fan (I literally grew up with the band, as the members are just a few years older than me), so I totally get the obsessed thing. I'm known for driving my friends and husband batshit stir crazy when they are on tour.
Having said that, I'm also a fairly newish Swifty convert. While I don't know everysignglewordtoeverysignlesong, I do like her stuff and saw her for the first time a couple of months ago. It was an amazing show, she knows how to entertain and she's a hell of a lot smarter than the media give her credit for. Fingers crossed for your girlfriend that she is able to get a ticket!
I have already entered a show presale to help her get a ticket. She has some solid songs. I think folklore is a good, even if overrated, album. And I have to give her and her team credit for their marketing and the way she keeps her fans engaged. I also saw she gave all her production team a $100,000 raise each, so I respect her a lot for that because I'm sure they're working their asses off this tour.
I just found out that she's playing in my hometown of New Orleans......I registered for a presell code, so fingers crossed. Would be a good excuse to fly down and also stuff my facehole with ALL THE SEAFOOD.
I'm sorry. The sooner you realize that she's already gone, the sooner you can begin to heal.
Telling us more about the Herbie Hancock might give you a reprieve from this hell--even if for just a minute. We're listening when you're ready to talk.
I’ve accepted that this is who she is but I still love her. Herbie Hancock was incredible. It was my first jazz show I’ve been to unless you count BADBADNOTGOOD. He’s a really funny guy and the set list spanned a lot of his discography. The way he went from his more classical sound to his more experimental stuff was seamless. And he busted out the vocoder for 15 minutes!
Damn you for making me handwrite Jack Antonoff and Seventh of July onto a strip of toilet paper while reading this minutes after eating some questionable fish left out on the kitchen counter.
Wait a minute, there are no “e”s in Antonoff I said to myself, feeling as gullible as that time I told a Taylor Swift fan that the word gullible isn’t in the dictionary.

I'd even go one further (and I have, in my own life): don't have heroes in the first place.
People suck. They turn out to be monsters.
Ideas, on the other hand, are worthy of observation and maybe even admiration.
Can a concept be a hero?
There's a quote that's something like:
"Small minds discuss people. Average minds discuss events. Great minds discuss ideas."
My mind is just broken.
I think coffee is like the glue that keeps my mind together in the mornings.
The bad blood part just felt right. 😏
I need you to convince your girlfriend to get her own substack so that we can ally against you
Honestly, I think she would be very down.

It sounds absolutely amazing! I love that he's still touring/playing.
I'm not sure if he's touring full time. He was headlining TD Jazz Fest in Toronto, but I don't know if that's a one-off.

Once you get sucked into the lore, there is no turning back!
This is hysterically hilarious. And I say that as someone who thinks TS is a very talented songwriter. But the QAnon vibes are so spot on.
