also sorry but "they don't get paid much" isn't a compelling argument on why artists shouldn't complain about criticism. *everyone* wishes someone was paying music writers properly but they aren't so idk take it up with conde nast and hearst media not Halsey lol
i think all artists at this level privately crave press bc it's one of the only remaining sources of validation from outside of your own team or fanbase, prob why when it arrives and is off-message it feels so jarring and personal
maybe music reviews would be better if they were all a critic interviewing the artist and debating the quality of the work in a podcast lol i bet both parties would prefer that in a way. free idea anyone can have idc
