it's because she's got a loud group of supporters who believe in all the conspiracy theories she espouses but democrats have been trying to take her out of her seat of power

wait-

[wrip]

ah man, seven being out now kinda sucks. it’s become a favorite from the two albums. please let my #1 make top ten 😁

[Future Captain]

by the way i completely missed the part that we can also rank alternate versions of a song in place of the album version because the original version of the lakes would have made my top 10

“marjorie” hits like bricks once you’ve lost someone dear to you, but once it’s your own grandma, the knowledge that this song is about her grandma coupled with the fresh wound of your own loss makes it hit deeper. especially that bridge.

I gained a MUCH deeper appreciation for this song this month than I’d already had.

Hint: "my tears ricochet" is a song written about the infamous Scott Borchetta - Scooter Braun masters scandal. This scene from the self-directed "The Man" music video is also a reference to the "stolen masters" (with a not so subtle dig at Scooter).

Noooooo! I thought this would for sure make the top 10. :(

[khan]

My opinion on Mirrorball goes up and down more than any other song on these two albums ngl. Sometimes the production is soothing and beautiful and other times it feels kinda blown out and stagnant.
