Charli was selling a Towel towel and sadly the reviews for it weren't good!

“Cultural phenomenon” is taking it too far. My very unplugged from pop culture coworkers are always my bar for what’s really hitting. Last summer they brought up the Barbie movie and the discourse several times. They knew what Eras tour was. If this year I were to bring up brat summer they would have no idea what I’m talking about. They would think brat Kamala was a new trump insult lol

I went as chappell roan for halloween and almost no one knew who she was lol. Reality check on being niche. Some who did only knew good luck babe.

oh fun! what look did you choose?

and ia, chappell is doing numbers but she's far from a household name where i'm from. (still doesn't stop her tickets from selling out immediately tho! v frustrating)

a modified version of the midwest princess cover lol it was very fun

Crash deserved similar success. I love that album.

But it's not slutty club music to do drugs to so I guess it wasn't enough for the gays...

[scriptedending]

Crash is the album that got me into her, I love it so much. More than Brat, if I am being honest!

[floatinglately]

listen as someone who got on board the charli train with the video for you’re the one and still thinks true romance is one of the best pop albums of all time, don’t get me started on the appropriate time for charli to have received her flowers!!!

(i eventually came around on brat and tbh have been blasting it + the remix album nonstop for the past month. but boy have i been waiting for the culture to get on my level!!!)

[sorryeden]

Crash is such a good album. I keep revisiting it.

Already?
