This was a wonderful way to end my writing year: a tribute essay for the late, great Stephen Sondheim, and the unmatched impact he’s had on how I look at the world. May his memory be a blessing, forever ❤️

"Watching West Side Story, I encountered for the first time a quality I've come to look for in great musical theatre: the distillation of complex emotion into song."

@clemcssco_ reflects on late musical theatre legend Stephen Sondheim.

Btw the article written about you could be something in the student press or on a blog/Substack, doesn't have to be traditional publication

[Clementine @clemcssco_]

Making my reappearance on here for a #journorequest! Have you ever been written about in a personal essay/column by a friend, family member, or romantic partner? If this is you, I'd love to speak to you on how the experience made you feel. For a masters project x

Got a First from Oxford and snagged Taylor Swift tickets on the same day. One for the books 🥰

[Clementine @clemcssco_]

@miserabiliter Thank you Barney! I’m still so grateful for the encouragement you gave me to apply for Oxford all those years ago 🥺

[Clementine @clemcssco_]

@georgiabrownnx Thank you Georgia, good luck for your results xx

@imoimogen Thank you Imo xx

The swifties might not like this take but she was better off just not re-recording that song if she’s this ashamed of it

[Clementine @clemcssco_]

Post finals ennui making me only tweet about Taylor Swift but it has to be said…the better than revenge rewrite is so silly lol

[Clementine @clemcssco_]

Taylor was kinda misogynistic and mean to girls dating her ex when she was 18 and so were many of us! Acting like artists have to present as morally correct not only now but at all stages of their career is so weird and limiting

[Clementine @clemcssco_]

@rooftoptilda I think her improved vocals are on show even more than in fearless and red (esp on the big power ballads like back to December and haunted) but as a result emotional expression is compromised

[Clementine @clemcssco_]

@boyracerrollbar Also arguably undermines the economic purpose of the rerecordings bc people are now going to stream og better than revenge more lol

[Clementine @clemcssco_]

This combination of waiting for finals results/confirmation from my job for next year/the Taylor Swift ticketmaster email is crazy

[Clementine @clemcssco_]

so nice and considerate of Taylor to release the dates just before my hour long train journey !
