Especially with Kendrick Lamar’s verse making it sound more like a romantic relationship gone bad.  

I agree - I think the problem with artists revealing the genesis of songs they’ve written is that people take them literally. Perry no doubt pissed her off, she thought of an angry lyric, and she fleshed it out into a broader song about betrayal.

I think it was more “I feel betrayed by this person I thought was a friend. I should write a son about friend betrayal.” Hence, Bad Blood. Not, Katt deserves an entire song to take her down about the ultimate backstab. Because you’re right, Bad Blood is ambiguous.

He always seemed like he was having fun playing bond.

Isn’t Gifted on Fox? Black Lightning is on CW.

The Kardashians of terrorism.

Umm - yes?

I thought Katys song was about spit or swallow decision.

Me too, girl. (I don’t actually know if you’re female, but I stand by the phrasing!) My 1st anniversary is coming up in a couple weeks, and I’ve been thinking that same thing. Being married rules. Having a constant partner has made every part of my life better, and I’m so flipping excited that we get to hang out for…

Not alone! My first year was amazing. About to have our 15th. Sorrow and joy. But we continue to evolve separately and together. I look back on all those years, through existential and real crises (24 then, 39 now), and it truly is better and deeper and more delicious. The desert, when it comes, makes the ocean all…

I’m coming up on my 5th anniversary. I didn’t think the first year was as bad as everybody made it out to be, but I do think it’s gotten better since then. Surviving more shit together and coming out ok will do that :)

I kind of think people can change if they want to. If I hadn’t changed, I’d probably be on the road to divorce. I realized last year that my anxiety was slowly eroding my relationship, so I’ve spent this past year working on me. My husband similarly realized that I was never going to be anxiety-free, so he’s been…

The 7th or 8th year is the hardest, not the 1st. Sorry.

I’m coming up on my 1st wedding anniversary, and while there have been struggles, this has hands down been the best year of my life. I keep wondering if that conventional wisdom that the 1st year is the hardest is just total bullshit, or if I got super lucky. Or, was it only the hardest because in the past couples…

Communication - THIS. SO MUCH THIS. We’ve been married 31 years now, and most of our (infrequent) arguments were resolved when we figured out what each of us was trying to get across to the other.

I am just going to leave you here with this

I think Kate looks like she’s in a period drama about WWII. Someone is going to make a brave stiff-upper lip speech about victory gardens. But I kind of like it....

Does this mean Putin went to Jared, too? I love it.
