Too much…

Babe?

Yes love?

I just watched a plastic surgeon saying he’s had so much botox he developed antibodies to it?!

Oh… 😅

Is that happening to you too?!

Not yet…?!

But it might? It could…?

😳 it could. Yeah…?

Just keep it in mind my love. I’m worried about your industry and the pressures of looking “perfect” — I worry if you’ve even eaten enough for the day. I worry and wonder if you’re feeling faint.

Oh. All of the above babe 😅

Well that’s not good is it?!

Take a break!!!

I will rest when my contract ends.

And come see you 😘❤️

Sigh…

So what did that guy do with the antibodies?

He said he is resistant to like 4 out of 5 strains so there’s only 1 strain left that works on him.

Oh…

I don’t want that for you my love. I think you really gotta ease off…

I know what you mean…

I will when my contract ends!

Sigh. Well… I just want you to be healthy and happy.

🥰❤️ Thanks babe. I want that for you too!

Well… I’m neither right now. Hahahhaa…

Why not?

I dunno. Maybe something in the astrology. 

I don’t feel healthy or happy.

I’ve been scrolling a lot mindlessly…

Are you following me and my bros stuff?!

There hasn’t been that much stuff?

And… it’s been… okay…

Just okay?

Well, after following you guys for a few years it’s like I can recognise the pattern of the content cycles your staff are paving. Does that make sense?

Yeah?

So you’re saying it’s all the same after a while…

It’s a predictable content cycle of marketing campaigns. 

Everything feels orchestrated for maximum profits for the company.

(Chuckles) 😏

It’s not really art, is it?

It’s not?

No.

I don’t think you are artists…

I think you are… “curated cash grabs”

So you’re seeing it all through the lens of making money.

It’s not art. It’s a production — you’re producing a music product — but is it ART?!

I don’t think it is “art”…

You’re not artists.

You’re not really saying anything with your musical product.

It’s a product like a Happy Meal is a product. But is a Happy Meal a piece of art?

In most contexts and use cases, no.

So I just don’t think your music is artful.

Your music is a product. For making money.

Lol… so who has art?

Should I say Macklemore? Am I allowed to talk about him today?

Haaaaa… so that’s what’s been on your algorithm?

Has it not been on yours?

What do you think about Ed Sheeran?

I’m not sure…

As a Swiftie, he was always like a good friend of Taylor’s right? He was always a platonic friend in Swiftieland…

So how are we supposed to react now? Taylor hasn’t said anything yet… (Shrugs shoulders)…

But you think of Macklemore as an “artist” —

Compared to you and your bros? On a spectrum of musicians and recording people in the music industry?

Mmmmmhmmmm…

My high school art teacher used to say “if your art doesn’t have a message that’s just design, it’s not art”

But does it have to be political?

Sigh.

I wanna know what Taylor Swift thinks.

Why?! Why does that even matter?

Because…

Ed Sheeran is her friend too.

So I just wanna see if Taylor says anything about this.

What if she never says anything?

You know I was genuinely thinking, who would be immune as an opener for Ed? And I thought maybe Taylor?

But she doesn’t need to do that. She’s got other priorities. 

Right.

Well I guess I just assumed they had a more genuine friendship than that.

I didn’t even know Ed Sheeran was friends with Macklemore but I for sure knew Ed Sheeran has been friends with Taylor Swift. But I guess that’s the bubble I’ve existed in all these years.

I don’t know what kind of music you want me and my bros to make to consider us artists.

I don’t care about that either.

I care more for your solo stuff.

I want to feel proud of my husband’s solo work. As an artist.

When you’re in the group making musical Happy Meals, I don’t care.

But when you’re doing Solo stuff and it’s more genuine and authentic to who you are then I’m much more impressed. 

Awwwww… so you like my latest stuff?

Of course! 🥰❤️

What if… Ed Sheeran asks me to be an opener for him? 😳

Lol… why? How? A k-pop idol to open for the Loop Tour?! That’s hilarious.

Is it tho?

It doesn’t even make sense. The timing doesn’t make sense with what you and your bros have lined up.

Okay then, in the future.

It still doesn’t make sense.

What if… I do a collaborative song with him?

Will the song have a MESSAGE?

All his songs have messages! Darling, you’ve listed Ed’s music in your 100 Love Songs page. We’ve had conversations about Ed Sheeran’s music.

I know… …

What’s wrong about it now?

I don’t know…

I’m waiting for Taylor Swift to say something about it.

Lol you need Taylor to tell you how to think?!?!?!

Mmmmmm…

As a Swiftie, it’s like — is he still her brother friend?!

I’m just not sure right now… today…

I’m sure they’re still good friends. I think it’s pretty easy to compartmentalise recent events and just keep going as if nothing happened anyway. They probably just see it as a social media hiccup.

But…

Isn’t she a WAG now anyway?!

Sigh… …

I haven’t finished thinking this through…

What?

Where is your ART?

My recent song!

Yeah… … … but it still doesn’t say that much…

If you’re not an “activist musician” then you’re just retail shopping centre background music? Or as Gen Z says “coworker music!”

Lol… 😅

You can be a musician without being an artist.

I just think, there is a difference. Artists have a message.
