It wasn’t a big drama: Paula’s pop week at a glance

TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER BOYFRIEND HAVE BREAKD UP. It’s bad because Swifties, as her ultra-fans are called, live through Taylor, which means they’ll break up soon, even if they’re not in a relationship. Swift’s dating life has always been under the scrutiny of fans or enemies looking to slutshame her.

For example, Ellen DeGeneres’ obsession with Swift’s relationship life is uncomfortably legendary, but beware, it’s really bad to watch:

The obsession of fans, on the other hand, looks like this:

Or so:

Fans leave flowers in front of the house where Swift lived when she met her ex-boyfriend (there’s a fitting song “Cornelia Street”) or rampage around a bit. Sure. Since, according to insiders or something, the breakup should have been “no big drama”, you have to make one of it yourself.

I’ve recommended the Sounds Like A Cult podcast before, but I’d like to do it again, specifically the Taylor Swift episode, in case you’re trying to get some idea of ​​how it got to this point. I mean, didn’t we learn anything about Fantum from the Swarm series?

It’s safe to say that Anti-Flag have quite a good expertise when it comes to punk. Apparently they are normal people too. And with the extreme conservative to fascist backlash that is currently also taking place in the USA with regard to queer and trans rights, every voice against those who try to interpret these dangerous developments as progressive is important.

Speaking by the way of people who otherwise always want to preserve American culture and stuff.

On “The Voice Kids,” Emma delivered her cover of Eminem’s “Mockingbird” in such a way that she became a TikTok star without doing anything else. So far so great.

But then Eminem commented on the video with this emoji:

(The reaction of “The Voice Kids” is of course pretty cringe.) Since then, the internet community has been puzzling over whether he meant his comment in a good or bad way. It’s also important to remember, although it’s easy to forget, that Eminem is in his 50s. And it was his first TikTok comment ever. Madness. But he means well!

I am happy! The best genre in the world keeps on giving and giving and giving. In addition to fantastic R’n’B solo artists that have been given to us in recent years, girl groups are now making a comeback. The following are my favorites and they continue the tradition of En Vogue, SWV, Destiny’s Child, TLC and Mis-Teeq:
