The Life Of A Showgirl - Taylor Swift
☆☆☆★★
I was honestly disapointed by this album. I felt it was lazily made and very much gave mean girl vibes at times.
The whole narative in Actually Romantic of 'oh your jealous of me you gay coked up tiny chiwawa' felt old and very 2000's esque but not in a good way. I'm not mad at it being a dis track, but i think if you wanna do a dis track its gotta be good, especially if your critisizing being called "boring barbie", dont then come out with the most boring song possible in responce.
What makes it more disapointing is that Taylor has shown that she can write great music and have amazing lyracism which makes these lyrics appear even worse in compmarison.
The line "It's kind of making me wet (Oh)" in comparison to "Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow, Tarnished but so grand" like come on, what are you doing? I get the songs have different vibes but thes lyrics just feel AI genereated at best.

Hozier - Reading Festival Set
☆★★★★
Hoziers Performance was amazing and his speach that he gave knowing it would lead to him being cencored by the bbc was so powerful.
Here is the line i think that caused the cencorship, since it goes against the governments current position;
"spraypainting an airoplane does not constitute an act of terrorism, and supporting the people who do does not constitute an act of terrorism" -Hozier.
There is a link to the full speach below. I love hozier and his music was so good, i wasn't a huge fan before so i looked up a load of his songs in the weeks before and fell in love with them, im so glad i got to go and i lost my voise so bad after Take Me To Church but it was an incredible experience.
Only looses a star because id say most of the crowd didnt know any songs beside Take Me To Church and the chorus of Work Song but there was enough people that did that it wasn't too bad just there was alot of chatting in the crowd at some points.

Travis Scott - Reading Festival Set
☆☆☆★★
Being completely honest Travis Scott is not at all my vibe, and I went not knowing almost any of his songs so that's kinda on me but after the amazing performances by Hozier and Chappell Roan on the friday his set felt like it lacked exitement and energy. Fein was good and there had obviously been budget spent on the production but given the set had already been cut by half an hour I expected him to have more stage presence when he was on. He ended the set with a SZA collab where the majority of the song was just her on the speakers. Overall would have enjoyed more if I was a fan of his music and I also didn't feel entirely safe after knowing about how astroworld went down, but it wasnt awful.
Chappell Roan - Reading Festival Set
☆★★★★
Loved this so much, the crowd was good, the outfits were 🔥, perfomance was great. Overall it was a super fun show and I had a great time.
Hit Me Hard And Soft Tour - Billie Eilish
★★★★★
Genuinly such a good show, I am obsessed with billie and have been for many years and this was my second time seeing her, I first saw her at the Happier Than Ever Tour which was also amazing. Loved every second of it and lost my voice multiple times (especially after Happier Than Ever), and I mean, being in the same room as BILLIE EILISH!!! Can't beat it. Damn that woman is fine might I add. Love love loved guess, hte, birds of a feather, lunch, ocean eyes... the list goes on. My night didn't get TV though 😭. So glad I went and I will be attempting to go to all future tours.
The Eras Tour - Taylor Swift + Openers
☆★★★★
We arrived half way through Benson Boone and he had so much energy, backflipping, jumping all around. It was a great start to the show.
Next up was Paramore which I loved, Hayley Williams was great with the crowd and it was an amazing performance, really got me into Paramore tbh.
Finally the main event, Taylor Swift. This was honestly one of the best concerts I've been to, yes it was very long, but everytime you considered taking a break another top track started. The outfits, the stageing, Gracie Abrams as a Surprise Guest, the general atmosphere, all amazing.
