This will be her first performance since having a hip surgery to manage chronic pain.

If she pulls out Firebird choreography for this, I'll levitate

Must be nice. 😂

The Observer view on the vinyl revival — LPs are the antidote to a frenetic digital world:

BREAKING: Donald Trump just betrayed every fan who’s been exploited by Ticketmaster.

This fine is less than 1% of Live Nation’s revenue last year AND lets them continue to rip off fans with a 15% “Ticketmaster Tax." It's wrong.

Not all of them even pop.

Drinking game: watch HGtv or Food Network and take a shot everytime they mention a "pop of color."

i literally wait to see what the wall gon look like every single day
