Correcting my previous Bridgerton guess of Francesca being bi as it's clear that she is a lesbian. Please support her journey as the homphobia has been wild! The sapphic yearning will be peak! Francesca has great love for John & always will. But she's not in love with him like she will be Michaela π
So Bridgerton s4 used Taylor's Enchanted, as I suspected they would, but they played it at a very interesting point. Sophie is looking at Benedict on the other side of a door, wondering whether she will reveal her truth and her secret, her other identity as the lady in silver.
I see the closet story but also like Alice in vibes but maybe that is the neurodivergent energy. You are in for a wild ride!
Happy Birthday Tess! π Thank you for all you do for the community. I am glad you are having a good time with the elephants & sorry you have to go through that. I hope you have some nice cake and your birthday wishes come true π
Omg same! The one I posted before was about them too. I feel very strongly they coded them as lovers in s3. Even if they don't intend to stand by it (I hope they do though). Plus giving the one character that doesn't want children or marriage a gf will let her keep her beliefs! & away from Crane!
Cressida's mother says "It's calling hour" Eloise replies "And I should like to call upon Miss Cowper" coding Eloise as a suitor. She's always in blue & Cressida always in pink showing them as complimentary balancing forces. Cressida was probably only mean to Pen to get Eloise's attention

Bridgerton & New Romantics:
The Queen talks of couples; among them we see Cressida & Eloise. Cressida makes it clear she wants to keep her forbidden friendship w/ Eloise. Snow on the Beach starts playing(!) as Penelope & Colin dance & Cressida leaves Eloise looking dejected. They are so couple coded
New Romantic themes in Bridgerton upcoming.
Benedict the Bisexual King is getting his love story but he's breaking tradition and falling for a woman without title (a servant). Francesca, possible bisexual & neurodivergent, falls for a man & has confusing feelings for his female cousin. Bring it on!!
Bridgerton have used Wildest dreams on s1 but even if they don't use her song there might be some Taylor overlap in s4. Not only is it a take on Cinderella but also there are certain queer themes brewing with Francesca & Michaela. Franchaela really need the support the homophobia has been horrible!
We love you Gaylor with sign! I hope she is living her best life
I rewatched some of One Love Manchester recently so this was fresh in my mind when I watched this. Did you see Ari share her brain scans to help the discussion on PTSD? I think that's amazing. I can see how scary it must be to be a pop girlie with a similar fan base too.
If she does a televised wedding, I bet you it will be advertised like the American Princess Diana, a big show to get as many eyes on it as possible. It would be epic if she did something wild... Diana Agron could sing Speak Now, Ross could sing I bet you think about me π It would break the blender!
Princess Diana was close friends with George Michael "Diana was the only person that I knew who made me feel like an ordinary person". After she died he said "I could have kept in a lot more contact with her... Because we really got on well. But I was always reluctant to call her up."
Do you mind if I still post what I was going to say top and credit you or something?
OMG I was going to bluesky this because I said in zoom I think. And it's related to my previous post. We see the vision!
When Taylor sang knock on wood in 'Wood' I immediately thought of this scene in Easy A. As Easy A is so key to performanceartlor, I think it's cool to think this is the performance Olive does in order to entice people to watch her confession. It was a bait and switch to get the truth out there.
Jade is a NR p6: In FUFN Jade & her PR boyfriend try to hide they're fighting. They attend her movie premier w/ an audience of people w/ disturbingly plastered on smiles. She crawls to escape & fights him but it ends w/ raining popcorn signifying it all ends up being entertainment to the public.
Jade being a NR p5: Midnight Cowboy Ncuti Gatwa says is a "performance" & to "enjoy the show" She's a showgirl! The sexual nature of the song is part of the performance. It starts w/ her glitching after the events of It Girl. Showing her go back to her performer role after her attempt at rebellion.
I'm not the only one that thought the Olivia Rodrigo thing was all PR right? It stirs people up, gets people to pick a side. Like rival boy bands.
EVERY mv. The name of the album. Sheβs no doubt involved
Jade is a NR p4:
It Girl (referencing Clara Bow) 'Smile but don't show your teeth' paralleling Whose afraid lyrics 'we took out all her teeth'. Jade destroys plates as an act of rebellion against feeling controlled by the industry. 'Can't buy at the store'. 'No puppet on a string' (Pinnochio ref)
Thank you! I have way more notes to go through so I'm glad to hear others have seen it too!
Jade being a NR p3: Angel of my Dreams is about fame in a similar way to the Little Mix's Wasabi (considered Jade's baby). Wasabi is more empowered, saying critics fuel them. AOMD shows both fame feeling great but ultimately being destructive.Selling her soul to the name of Cowell's record company.
I have so many notes, I realised I needed to write them down! So glad to hear from others that see it!
Yesssss!!!!!!!! Little Mix opened for Taylor on 1989 tour!!!!!!!!!! Her music and voice (singing, writing and speaking out) are so important
Jade is a New Romantic part 2:
Both her & star Jade seem unhappy w/the arrangement. After Jade breaks away from the Limo she is forced to look on as another version of herself replaces her but is ultimately destroyed by the 1st Jade. The video shows she felt trapped, replacable & unfairly treated.
Jade is a New Romantic Part1: Jade (Thirwall from Little Mix) mv Angel of My Dreams starts w/ celebrity Jade getting adored by fans but put aside by a looming oversized Simon Cowell figure for real Jade who signs a contract in her own blood which results w/ her being engaged w/ him (PR relationship)
Hayley Kiyoko has a few songs I could imagine are about situationships. Feelings is definitely one!
How new does it have to be?
Fresh out the slammer... Orange is the new black. She's showing life within the guilded cage before breaking out.
