Phoebe Bridgers is an indie musician from California. Paul Mescal is an actor from Ireland. It was the height of the pandemic, May 2020, when Phoebe and Paul first interacted over Twitter. Phoebe tweeted about Paul’s new show Normal People, and Paul–already a huge fan of Phoebe’s music—couldn’t believe it. Soon after, the two interviewed each other on a video call, blushing and laughing like a first date.

Fans of both Phoebe & Paul fell in love with their love story as they started to date in real life and (“reportedly”) became engaged. But out of nowhere, Phoebe appeared to be dating the comedian Bo Burnham. What happened to Paul?

We’re HUGE fans of Phoebe’s music and I (Kell) have been creepily following details of her life for years. We weave through the wild, confusing, and often toxic relationships that came before Paul (including married men and throuples) then try to piece together what went down between Phoebe & Paul. If you don’t like to look into musician’s personal lives, then this is likely not for you. But if you’re curious what’s behind the lyrics, keep listening….
