  • How Katy Perry Lost Me as a Fan: An Essay from a Former KatyCat

    Sooooo once upon a time, I was obsessed with Katy Perry. From collecting every photo and memorizing her Teenage Dream era, to seeing her live in front row seats and even at her Vegas residency, I was a full-on KatyCat. Her quirky personality, camp visuals, and record-breaking pop hits like “Firework” and “California Gurls” made her feel like the underdog who made it. But things have changed....😭


    In this episode, I unpack how Katy Perry lost me—and a lot of other fans. 💔 From baffling lyrics and questionable visuals on her new album 143, to working with Dr. Luke and the odd AI-infused “Lifetimes” tour (which might be struggling to sell tickets…), we explore the missteps and image shifts that feel disconnected from the icon she once was.


    Let’s talk about it in this weeks episode of Nocturnal Notes with Sydney. 🎧

  • Haunted by Taylor Swift was written for New Moon, and you can't convince me otherwise!!
    okay, hear me out—Taylor Swift’s “Haunted” 100% sounds like it was made for the New Moon soundtrack, and in this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why I think it was supposed to be. The strings? The drama? The heartbreak? It screams Bella Swan numb in a chair while the months pass. And here’s the kicker—Taylor was literally dating Taylor Lautner (yep, Jacob Black himself) right after New Moon was made. Plus, her bestie at the time was Hayley Williams, who helped shape the first Twilight soundtrack. There is no way this is all just coincidence. Let’s get into the evidence, Swifties and Twihards. this one’s juicy!!!
