Book Belly was so unhinged, I loved it so much. Dreaming of Conrad the night of her engagement, shaving her legs twice for him, comparing how good a housemate he is compared to Jeremiah (who leaves his snotty tissues everywhere and doesn't change the toilet paper roll)

never forget what they took from us

@giftedswifted it would've been sooo good. i would've preferred this instead of wildest dreams, but the acoustics were amazing

@niazstruth what if i'm an ally

[Delicate Maroon Dress @DelicateMaroon]

@lizzo i would've listened to it if you didn't defend epstein

[Delicate Maroon Dress @DelicateMaroon]

@taypalite there is an obvious winner but there are also 2 duos that wouldn't stand a chance

@Bombalurina_29 one is a rapist. you can guess who follows such a person

[Delicate Maroon Dress @DelicateMaroon]

@slayvoncecharts @transleytanked the general public completely ignored those collabs to stream a solo song driven by a club sample and a tiktok dance. a calendar timeline doesn't equal causation, no amount of marketing buzzwords will change that he blew up on his own organic merit, not a billionaire's permission

[Delicate Maroon Dress @DelicateMaroon]

@slayvoncecharts @transleytanked and what was the aftermath? did they rejoin the hot100 with any other project? did their music get more promo?

[Delicate Maroon Dress @DelicateMaroon]

@slayvoncecharts @transleytanked a one-week entry on the lower rungs of a billboard chart because of release-week pop streaming isn’t a launching power if they immediately fell off and are still navigating the exact same gatekept system today. a launch means sustainable career momentum.

[Delicate Maroon Dress @DelicateMaroon]

@slayvoncecharts @transleytanked in the end, it was a tiktok trend and that's how he blew up

[Delicate Maroon Dress @DelicateMaroon]

@slayvoncecharts @transleytanked a temporary streaming peak from a pop fanbase isn't an industry reset, no matter how many insults you throw out.

[Delicate Maroon Dress @DelicateMaroon]

@slayvoncecharts @transleytanked if her album had that kind of launching power, the women on "blackbiird" would have seen the exact same hot 100 success (they didn't) tanner adell already had a major label deal anyway. stealing credit from independent black artists to prop up a billionaire's pr narrative is wild

[Delicate Maroon Dress @DelicateMaroon]

@slayvoncecharts @transleytanked acting like she invented the critique of country radio gatekeeping is insulting to the actual full-time black artists who have been fighting that exact system for decades without a billionaire's safety net

[Delicate Maroon Dress @DelicateMaroon]

@slayvoncecharts @transleytanked didn't get pulled by terrified executives; it lost momentum because pop fans stopped streaming it and country stations went back to their regular programming

[Delicate Maroon Dress @DelicateMaroon]

@slayvoncecharts @transleytanked you keep moving the goalposts bc real-world metrics don't back you up
first it changed the CMA data rules, now it just "shattered an illusion"
a beginning requires actual, measurable momentum for the artists who live in that genre full-time, not just a temporary corporate PR wave

[Delicate Maroon Dress @DelicateMaroon]

@slayvoncecharts @transleytanked calling it brain rot is a wild defensive reaction to basic logic. you can’t claim an album caused a "genre reset" and "cultural shift" if the institutional radio bias is completely unchanged and full-time black artists are still locked out. that’s a temporary PR wave, not a reset

[Delicate Maroon Dress @DelicateMaroon]

@slayvoncecharts @transleytanked "forced them to change how they program streaming data" is a crazy hallucination when the reality is that the country industry gave the album a grand total of zero nominations and it completely vanished from country radio after a month.
