Do you like Grimes’ music?

I can’t even think of one song of hers… off the top of my head… maybe I’ve heard her songs — actually, yes I’ve definitely heard her songs from the Apple Discovery music suggestions and then I was like, “Oh this is a cool song, who sings it?” And then I looked and it was Grimes. But I didn’t favourite it. I didn’t save it… I forgot about it now, which song it was…. but in that moment, I do remember reading that the song was by Grimes…

(Weird… facial expression… I don’t know… slightly amused?)

Why?

I didn’t know if you liked her style! She’s more similar to MY genre…

Yeah but it’s not the exact same genre…

Yeah… she’s got her own take on it…

I… don’t even listen to her enough to be able to know if that’s right…

Why don’t you listen to her songs?

I don’t know? Maybe 90% of my music listening time was taken up by Taylor Swift? And these days — Keshi? (shrugs shoulders)

Wow you still love KESHI…

YES!!! I’M IN MY KESHI ERA…

Okay… (chuckles)… but not only Soft Spot? You like his other songs?

Yes!!! Is that so hard to believe?

(LOL) No… it’s just… not quite like Taylor Swift…

True… I’m enjoying a little break from her… of course I’ll get back into it when Reputation TV is released… but for now… Keshi…

Okay… well… I’m wondering why you are so much on Grimes’ side when you haven’t even really listened to her music that much?

Because… SHE’S A WOMAN… even if I didn’t name them and told you — Oh, this lady — she had a boyfriend, and then, he took her to court, over custody of their kids, allegedly — like, wouldn’t you side with her too?!

(Shrugs shoulders) I… would think that… I don’t know them… I’m not on anyone’s side…

Okay… well… fine… but… from MY perspective… I’m on Grimes’ side!!!

Okay… (sighs)… but… we don’t know them. We don’t really know the things that happened between them…

That’s true but he’s a fucking Billionaire, the power dynamics are already super skewed. Grimes’ reported net worth was only like $3 million USD or something like that when she was dating him — allegedly — like, everyone knows they were never married, it’s not like they had a prenup or anything but she didn’t ask for a stake in anything. Her own music career — was only worth about $3 mill?!?! Somewhere around there?! That’s — that’s not even some of my parents’ neighbours’ houses in Australia!!! There were reports that she actually comes from a rich family in Canada? She could’ve just — bought and sold real estate — with Mummy and Daddy’s money — to MAKE even MORE money than her own music?!?!?! You get what I mean?!?!?!

(Chuckles)

Why is this funny?

I don’t know… I don’t know why but I do find it funny…. (still laughing/giggling?!?!)

Okay…?

(Still laughing!!!)

WHAT?!?!?!?! WHY IS THIS FUNNY TO YOU?!?!?!!?

Because — the way you just said it — soooo… matter-of-factly — so easily — just take “MUMMY AND DADDY’S MONEY TO BUY AND SELL REAL ESTATE” — you can make more fuckin’ money than anybody else in MUSIC ever could!!! Probably even more than TAYLOR SWIFT!!!

(Weird expression… taken back, slightly)… that’s not the words that I used…

I know but that’s what it FELT like — but it’s also kind true, which is really quite funny to me… (LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL)…

Ummmm…

Like me and my bros WORK SO FUCKIN’ HARD — Nepo babies just get to TAKE MUMMY AND DADDY’S MONEY — and MAKE MORE MONEY!!!

We do not know if Grimes is a Nepo baby — that’s a whole other set of assumptions…

Okay, not her specifically — I mean, generally — nepo babies… they can just… MAKE MORE MONEY! — It’s that easy…

Well… they can also WASTE more money — if they had the sense to make more, yes they have a leg up to make more — but a lot of the times — they also BURN THROUGH IT LIKE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!! The money is just WASTED… they don’t even DONATE it to good causes! They just… burn through it without thinking…

Yeah… (sarcastically)… lucky them…

Are you feeling disgruntled about Nepo babies all of a sudden?

(Shaking his head) — No, I’m already bored of this topic.

(Taken aback) — Are you bored of ME?!?!

No — not you. Never you. Just this topic — Nepo babies — I find that topic very boring. I don’t have much else to add to the conversation about it.

Okay… me too… but you’re the one who brought up Grimes…

Because I was curious whether or not you liked her music but since it appears you evidently don’t even listen to it that much — that’s fine. I’m not adding Grimes to any of our romantic date playlists… I do listen to her, but you — evidently — do not.

No, I don’t… not really… but I’m sure I would like it?

(Nodding) I actually think you would… maybe you really did let Taylor Swift take up too much of your listening time and you haven’t given Grimes a real chance, you know?

Okay? What are you suggesting? I should set aside time this afternoon? After work? And just… LISTEN… to Grimes?!

(Nodding) Give it a go… I think you’ll like her…

Oh… okay… Hmmm… I was planning on playing Sims after work today… I guess I can listen to Grimes while I play Sims…

(Nodding) Okay?

Okay! I’m gonna try that! (Smiling)

(Chuckles)

So don’t take Grimes out of the playlists you’re making — yet — I’ve gotta LISTEN to her first… I’ll make note of any songs I genuinely DO like…

Okay… cool… I can’t wait to see if you like any of her songs…

(Smiles)

I love you.

I love you too!!! xoxoxoxoxoxox
