Also you’ve spent more time moaning at me than it would have taken you to just read the thread 😀

Nope, it's just an indicator of the lack of pattern..

 

I hear that mantra a lot 😅 but lack of pattern doesn't mean random.

Agreed, but he hasnt posted anything on twitter about it which is weird? 

He might well have left Twitter - a lot of people have because of the way Musk is operating it

[NorthernSoul52]

Aye, the Twitter exodus remains one in active action. 

 

Can't square Swift in my head unless Rodrigo has bounced or Wonder is duff info.

To be honest I can't square it under just about any circumstances.

 

I mean, between 4 new albums and another 4 re-records, and an extensive 2 year world tour playing 3+ hour shows every night, plus films, tv, music videos etc, I'd say she's probably done more work in the last 5 years than I have (or intend to) in my entire life.

 

I'd desperately love it to happen, but can't comprehend that someone who's just done all that would choose any option other than "sit on the sofa and relax" for 2025..

Only thing would be if she intends to settle down and start a family with Travis, and wants to tick off everything she can before disappearing for an extended period to do that. But she’s such a workaholic she probably wouldn’t be able to stay quiet for long anyway.

I may enjoy being able to get to the front of any other stage I fancy! If she does play it’s quite likely to be the biggest festival crowd ever, particularly hard on whoever is on the Other Stage. With all the possible downsides on balance it would be a major, lasting boost for the festival. 

This is my Nick Cave nightmare scenario.

Counterprogramming by having someone from another genre to appeal to those who aren't into Taylor. QOTSA and Elton was a bad move because they are still ultimately both rock music. I would think QOTSA and Taylor would go down better than that went honestly, less crossover appeal.

Yep QOTSA did well against Beyonce and that's a tough match up. They're stoic, for sure. Hey guys? Fancy a tough f**king gig? Yeah you do.

What im thinking is, because she was meant to play in 2020 which was then cancelled obviously maybe she got friendly with the Eavis family and promised to play the festival the next time she was available. Glastonbury seems like the sort of place she would love and want to be a part of. 

Or maybe not.. 🤔 

[NorthernSoul52]

Was under the belief that Sheeran sold her on Glastonbury initially and she likely saw the canny marketing power that it has. 

[NorthernSoul52]

She also had a British partner and was living here, I believe?

Living here is arguably a stretch, but certainly had (might still, not sure) a London pad and so spent more time there then an average American.

[NorthernSoul52]

Either way, there is a theoretical exposure to it that may well have sway her towards it.

 

But logic tells me it's a hell of a stretch.

[Justcalledtosay]

Silly season i see. Taylor Swift 🤣

[OllieMadd]

I don't think there's any world in which she does it, but I'm refreshed that with us discussing this we clearly have absolutely no idea who's headlining despite all of our alleged insiders

[NorthernSoul52]

All it takes is one Bluesky account, and we go off the deep end.

[ProperTea]

She also came to the NME Awards in 2020 to give Emily Eavis the Godlike Genius Award. That strikes me as the actions of someone that doesn't just see Glastonbury as "another festival"?

It was the action of someone lined up to play Glasto that same year, amongst other festivals. 

[fraybentos1]

Emily did say after the 2020 cancellation that they think there got her next time she tours. Admittedly it doesn’t seem like that would be 2025 but I do think she’ll do it

I’ll come join you at the front for him! He’ll be so grateful we can draw up his setlist for him!

We should all own up to the fact we like to go off the deep end! The crazier the better…

Though we don't know whether she went to the awards specifically because of Glastonbury or not - entirely possible that she was going to the awards regardless as part of the promotion for Lover, and seemed like an easy choice to present the award to Emily given that she was lined up to play the festival later that year.

Aye, there is plenty of supporting evidence for an interest in this more than, say, Coachella.

 

Anyway, Lana Del Rey clearing her stadium tour. To think if she'd not let her ego get in the way in 2023, it would look like a slam dunk by those sales now.
