My more current hot takes are
Sabrina Carpenter's Man's Best Friend Album cover is fine. It's satire. The same sort of satire however that got completely missed when Katy Perry did it in the Woman's World music video. That seems to be the case with this as well. I think it's fine. People freaking out over it haven't seen a true explicit album cover before and it shows tbh.
On top of that the heard of people complaining that Sabrina's shows are too explicit. So what? An artist shouldn't have to change because you don't want to parent your children. If it's too explicit don't take your child to her shows. It's that easy. Parent your kids. I don't see y'all coming for Addison this much and she's 1000x worse when it comes to explicit behavior.
Kesha's Period was an underwhelming album as a whole. Loved the singles but then the rest of the album dropped. Nothing stood out to me. That said I am happy she's free. Hopefully things will get better from here.
I don't see people complaining about this but whoever is running Chappell Roan's merch should be fired. Please direct them to Sabrina Carpenter's website to see how merch should be done for upcoming pop stars. Especially those with a teen following. She got six shirts and a bunch of sold out vinyl records. The way Chappell and Pink Pony club ruled this past year and this is the best you can do? It's clownery and y'all should be capitalizing more while she's big because who knows if it'll last. That's why they're doing what they're doing with Sabrina and the other upcoming pop girlies. Capitalizing while they're big. I go to Olivia Rodrigo's shop and I get variety of a lot of stuff. I go to Chappell's and get next to nothing. Make it make sense.
