Sending something else post WW was a decent choice - the lead was dead too far in advance from the album. Lifetimes just did not move the needle whatsoever so the era is back on no hype land. I definitely agree with this. In a post-womans world world, the best case scenario would've been pushing the album forward significantly. Obviously this is all speculative, and im mostly basing it off the positive reception from fans.

She seems in love and feeling secured about her life after marrying Bloom. I hope their marriage will last. They aren't actually married.

Ugh. I loathe micro bangs. They don't really look great on anyone. lol
And "Harleys In Hawaii" over "Never Really Over"? Iiiiiii mean it's a great song, but "Never Really Over" is like a gem of a pop song, easily one of her best. She's lost it. lol

It may seem like a pile-on on its face, but seriously, what positive is there to say? It's been a non-stop stream of dumb decisions, weak music, weak videos, bad promo, etc. I'm sure when the album drops, there will be bops to discuss. But until then, not a single thing has gone right.Well, her political views have (kinda /s, kinda not)

I agree with most of the posters here, she's out of touch and working again with DrL is truly one of her worst decisions ever, but this thread is sooo boring and repetitive, you can go to page 25 and read exactly the same things, beating a dead horse atp. Likewise I get that it's beating a dead dark horse, buuuuut it seems like every other week she either does or says something that reignites the conversation, mostly because she keeps beating around the bush and doesn't give proper reasoning for working with him again. The controversy probably would've wound down a lot more by now if she'd at least acknowledged the controversy right after WW came out instead of ignoring the situation altogether for weeks and pretending to be unbothered. Also the music so far isn't particularly amazing so there isn't much to discuss until we get the full album, although I guess folks could try ranking her singles/albums again for the 596813472 time.

someone went to the listening party in Toronto last night and said the album was GREAT. They played the album front to back. So i still have high hopes that I'll be getting an amazing gym playlist out of this. I’m so ready for this album! Did they mention any standouts? *copied from listening party post: Generally album was quite solid. Was too loud to hear specific lyrics but a lot of it felt more sexy. Generally the album was all upbeat and mature. There was one track in the middle that was giving more classic KP (women's world vibes) but the rest were more in the vain of lifetimes/bangers. Last track was the only slow one I could recall a felt like an album closer. We didn't listen to the deluxe but unsure if that was planned or not as Katy came out during the last song. There were two songs that really stood out to me and were bangers. I've seen some talks in this thread about her having a FTP leftover which idk if it's true BUT the specific track I'm thinking about that was my fav sounds like it would fit exactly on FTB and doesn't let up. It sounded so h***y and I'm so here for it. Overall I wasn't sure what to except because it could have gone in the WW direction or lifetimes but the album is very much more in the vain of lifetimes (haven't listened to the leaks or anything). Sounds to me like WW felt like the more obvious choice as a single because it's so signature KP but IMO it sounds like one of the more weaker tracks on the album.

What is FTP/FTB ("For The Boys"?)?
I have tempered my expectations for 143 as I know there are only like 5 tracks and we've heard 3. lol I'm still personally rooting for "Gorgeous" to be great and hopefully at least one or two of the unheard tracks are good. I'm not expecting "Never Really Over", but I'd settle for a "Daises" quality track or two. Listening party takes are always so hard to trust, because they're typically always from overenthusiastic, ultra-forgiving, easy to please fans whose impressions are affected by the experience of getting a first listen with their favorite artist so it's hard to measure what's what.
Meanwhile this is so fantastic 😍:

LOL I recognize the hyperbole but we have only heard 2 songs out of 11 in full, unless I'm missing something?

Plus we've heard "Woman's World" and "Lifetimes". lol Maybe we haven't heard the clips in full, but given the clips of the songs compared to the singles, we have a good idea of what to expect from those songs. lol ETA: I did love "Gorgeous" from what I heard and if the full song is as good as the clip I could finally get into a song this era!

I don't believe anything from Twitter unless it comes from a verified source.

Oh Katy is here in Toronto for TIFF no wonder there is a cold front here today feels like fall but it's supposed fo warm up to the unusual summer heat as soon as she leaves this week. She looks great with the bangs and the Celine. Orlando did not dress for the occasion and is awkward as ever .

I have enjoyed the 2 singles so far personally. BUT I feel like the other clips I've heard a bit from sound way better to me. I wonder if the era will have amiracle turn around lol. anything is possible, we will see I guess

Any promo lined up for release week? It's weird that this doesn't have a current single.
