Can’t stop thinking about “to trust the listener with this much honesty”. It must be so difficult as an artist to be so honest in music, knowing that people may not receive it in the way you intended, or may twist your words, or mock/minimise your pain. I think about it often.
Taylor Swift praises Phoebe Bridgers’ new album ‘Lost Weekend’ in new Instagram story:
“It's her birthday but she gave us a gift - Haven't been able to stop listening. This album is an absolute triumph in every way. To write about grief with such vulnerability and detail, and to trust the listener with this much honesty. 🫶🥲”
Happy Bday I love you!!”
