The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess
Chappell Roan

It must be weird being a pop singer. You have to do the exact same things everyone else has done for like 40 years now, but you also have to pretend you're the first to do it. This latest run of female pop singers are all caught up in a trend of pretending they're a wild combination of hot and dangerous. They're neither, obviously. This one has the added advantage of an androgynous name, which I can only assume is an appeal to the gay community (her real name is probably Amanda or Madison or something). The album cover is obviously the same deal. Hot, dangerous and gay. Holy shit she's a revolutionary girl boss inspiration. Of course, you have to look past the fact it's just Kate Bush (or Lorde ripping off Kate Bush) mixed with Taylor Swift, but once you do that, holy shit this will blow your mind. Also, probably a wig. What is it with 2020s pop singers and wigs? 2/5.
