organic interview

Not sure what that means.

Did they do the interview at Whole Foods?

Dear Forbes,

Ms. Swift makes her living signing about love to teen girls. Most of her songs are about herself. She is 35 and heading for 40 rapidly. How long do you think teens are going to listen to some unmarried woman their Mom’s age singing to them about teen love and romance?

Not much longer. Tick tock on her career.

To make the corrupted professional sports organizations seem less corrupted? Cashing in perhaps.

‘Organic’ in this context is a word I find myself using a lot lately. It means natural, not overly produced or manufactured.

Flowing off the cuff.

Soon, her fanbase will consist solely of aging queens.

The episode…proved that sports podcasts going beyond Xs and Os can become a mainstream cultural touchstone.

This article shows how looking for a fresh take on an old subject can go spectacularly wrong. She went on her boyfriend's podcast and announced her album. That's not evidence of a trend. Second, where has this reporter been since, oh, about 2016? ESPN has desparately tried to "go beyond Xs and Os to become a cultural touchstone with its exteme Woke content." It destroyed the network but they tried. Sports podcasts need to stick to their lane or else they will flop.

Since Taylor sat in on Travis' blog, does that mean he'll be dancing at Taylor's concerts again?

Not that it matters to me anyway --- I won't listen or watch either one.

Swift has already set the record for pop star longevity by leaps and bounds. Each additional year is just gravy. She has nothing to prove. She is phenomenally successful.

There is no reason to think she can’t keep it going for another 5 years at least.

BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT, IMO====

SHE ACCUMULATED ENOUGH $$$$$$$ TO BUY BACK HER SONGS.

NOT EASY TO DO.
