Jackie

B R A Z I L

Y’all got ya wigs on tight - just found this rehearsal video: https://x.com/kyuketsukibaby/status/1782147243941724164?s=46

So it's 9:30 there - not long till she starts!

I love that she's out there, touring again!

I also heard she’s gonna wear grilllllllz

Makes total sense to film it here - so exciting!

To be fair, she didn't diss Madonna - I've not listened, but the quote 'I don't like her and she doesn't like me' - is just a statement - whether true or not. Now, her dissing Taylor that's gold lol - She does have a point, maybe, Taylor is the Madonna of the now in terms of popularity - but she's certainly not in terms of cultural influences or breaking down barriers! She's also right - Music now is very manufactured to be 'on brand' - but it's always been that case since the invention of 'girl/boy/they/them groups' - the only difference now, is you are the brand - and in a way, Britney was the template (I love Britney) - by that I mean, image, music etc was very controlled to fit a mould, a narrative.

wow so that's it - US done - 5 shows to go and then 1 massive finale!

Business as usual :P

I have merged both threads on this so we don't end up with multiple threads about the same thing -

I agree re best thing for her. It gave her focus while she recovered, something to live and work towards - and in a way, forced her to get back on the 'horse' so to speak. To give her confidence and to validate for herself, that she can do it. BUT let's not forget also, she is extremely lucky - the seriousness of her health scare, she is very fortunate she recovered so fast, so many do not.

She isn't going to retire anytime soon - Cher is 77 and still going - might not be doing world tours, but pumping music, serving side dishes and still hustling.

Omg I literally almost spat out my hot cup of jarra - this is so funny !

It's Madonna's way of saying, I was barebacking decades before Beyonce did :P

He's coming out as straight?
