They are present on Spotify for me for OG and TV. I have screenshots if you want.

I’m not arguing that the vibe with swifties is off (nor would anyone here, I’m sure), but to imply that Taylor would be so uninformed about what she’s writing about is willfully ignorant. And it’s showing that they’re too ignorant to dig further themselves.

What’s the significance of 4/14? That’s my birthday ☺️

Not sure if the screenshots above are loading right. There are three of them. No alt text, sorry. I ain’t typing all that

Okay so these aren’t necessarily anti-Gaylor, but I was just so bothered by these interpretations.

His love was the key that opened my thighs and the crowd is king and all

High shower thoughts about CANCELLED! 1/3

slight malfunction @slightmalfunction.bsky.social · 1d

Okay so I don’t know if this actually answers your question but I was thinking about cancelled! being showgirl singing to poet Taylor (someone tell me if that wasn’t TTPD era) and how they wore all that blatant Gucci & then in the theater release she wears the “Guccy” shirt, which is not a knockoff

I should probably put this on my own page, but look! She’s mocking fakes!

Two Google search results, one dated May 30, 2017 with headlines saying: “Gucci becomes ‘Guccy’ for its cruise collection” and “Gucci mocks the fakes with ‘Guccy’”

lol I just reread and I am definitely way off topic. I had a gummy earlier, please forgive me 😭

So she’s really drawing our attention to the brand sponsorship of it all and that lyric and whatnot. Poet/gucci clad Taylor acting stupid at the tennis game, part of a slow burn of her “embarrassing” behavior as of late and showgirl is like “here’s how we’re gonna work with this” in cancelled!

Oh and I didn’t check any other versions of the album. These are the explicit regular version on Spotify.

BOO! I am belatedly angry and indignant on your behalf! You deserve justice! (Or at least like, acknowledgement from swift alert.) here are your points ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just can’t handle the n@zis over there anymore. I haven’t been on since I joined here basically.

Anyone else missing lyrics? How about on Apple Music or elsewhere?

I don’t have time to review these songs right now, but I want to put this here.

I went to look at the Honey lyrics and noticed they are missing. Which led me to investigate which other songs were missing lyrics. See below.

Father Figure
CANCELLED!

So it’s been fun to look back on that time of my life and what was in the zeitgeist, and these guys are somewhat funny, despite their lack of diversity as a group.

Okay, novel over! 😅

I do that enough involuntarily. But as a millennial, there’s a lot of nostalgia in listening to them talk about the early 2000’s-2010s, so that might affect my experience. But I didn’t watch many of these old SNL sketches at the time. They even talk about how YouTube wasn’t used by nbc at first.

Like dick in a box, Natalie Portman rapping, etc.

It’s honestly my preferred way to ingest this particular series/type/genre of pop culture.

I mostly listen to female podcasters, or at least queer guys. Most of my books are by female authors. I try not to listen to straight white men talk.

I’m married to a cishet/maybe bi white man, and sometimes he asks me to listen to podcasts he thinks I might like with him. Enter the lonely island and Seth meyers podcast, where they talk about SNL skits they wrote. On a long drive recently we listened to episodes about skits we knew I’d recognize

I haven’t been on today—are we talking about the missing Spotify lyrics for Showgirl songs?
