    I’m SO sick of this Taylor Swift talk. Nothing against her, I like some of her stuff. But this “will she become president” and “OMG she’s landed in Melbourne” is just so tedious. You know who else is here? The Blink 182 boys! But there’s no need to bang on about it. Do people really not have anything else to talk about?

    I’m more interested in hearing peoples thoughts on a their last coffee than I am their thoughts on a celebrity.

      What’s the difference between the hype of U2 OR Madonna touring back in the day, or even the Beatles or the Stones. Just a modern take.

        Social media i suspect. People feel like they have a connection with celebs these days. Its… disturbing. Especially the was some of them cultivate it.

        It comes to taste probably. The artists you listed were quite unique and groundbreaking for their time. TS is a run of the mill pop singer that’s not really different in a sea of other pop stars.

          theres nothing wrong with pop per say. i mean I certainly dont understand todays pop, but if you go fish out my ipod that hasnt been updated in 10 years I’m prepared to bet it has tons of 90’s-00’s pop. It just feels a lot like you know how little kids can ONLY talk about the thing they love and are so excited about? That, but with teenagers/20 somethings it becomes a bit more tedious. I’m not hear to shame other peoples interests, theres a special place in hell for folks who do that. But I also don’t run around pretending I’m captain of the enterprise or telling everyone how Dune Pt1 was a cinematic masterpiece either.

            When WrestleMania came to Toronto in the early 90s and the main event was Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate warrior, it was front page news in all the papers.

            The hype leading up to it lasted months. Even people that didn’t care for wrestling knew of it.

            This swift thing feels the same.

      I hear you dude. She’s some weird bastion of white feminism, so I have to hear about her all over the place.

      Billionaires aren’t your friends people.

        I’m confident I can remember the lyrics to “You belong with me” so I assume I’m safe from the purge.

      Staff meeting the other day got derailed by her. I’ve heard of the woman but honestly couldn’t name a single song. Am old?

      I expect it’s because you’re in the same city she’s in. The level of Taylor Swift noise in Perth is quite manageable. We know she’s in Australia, and we know she’s not coming to Perth. There’s probably more noise about Pink who is coming to town in a couple of weeks.

        Storm sucked up all the weather talk and deployed it at force between Caulfield and Westall. Or at least that’s Metro’s story.

        We’re all about the heat in Perth. I think yesterday was our 5th >40° degree day for February. Sunday is forecast to be our 6th.
        No humidity to speak of, at least.

        If she gets some places to lift their game I’m all for it.

        Thats gotta be the worst thing about touring. Do you send an advanced scout to check out good coffee places for you? Or do you just take a punt each time you go to a new city.

          From my experiences finding coffee in the USA, she’ll love Melbourne. Honestly, the calibre of the coffee there is appalling.

      My last coffee was about 4 hours ago. Large cappuccino, extra strong, lite milk, no sugar. I didn’t have to wait for a machine because there’s TWO there. Paid by card. Anything else you want to know?
