Also I really do think @scatteredscreens you should stop sending people separate DMs and just take a break if this is bothering you. I'm not going to engage at all with those messages. I apologise for poking fun at your comments and I'm happy to leave it there.

That's fine. I just don't like people who don't know anything about you making personal claims about them. It's too far. I accept your apology and I'm sorry if my posts upset you too.

Then don’t engage in discussions you aren’t interested in then! 

As I said before, I'm interested in the discourse around TS, I just think continuous discussion about streaming numbers are silly. Not saying I'm right or have some godly opinion on it. Does that clear it up? Like I've said in other posts, I'm not trying to upset anyone and apologise if I have.

Tale as old as time. People who really like an artist aren’t content just to like them but have to explicitly justify why they’re the “best”. So they use sales/streaming figures as if to seal the deal on their point of view. You see it all the time here in arguments about stage positioning.

She said going to be in London tomorrow for the Graham Norton taping so the Bon Iver rumour might not be too crazy. I don’t think it will happen but have my fingers crossed for everyone attending who is an exile/evermore Stan. 

The twitter account that tracks celeb jets has her in London as of two days ago

She randomly rocked up at that HAIM gig as well didn't she, so it's not out of the ballpark of possibility.

Would she do it twice in the same city? Different venue but, I mean JV does backing vocals on one of her new songs (Dear Reader) I think so it’s possible I guess

JV is gonna do her a solid and return the favour during her headline set.

He's not got a great track record with that.

popped up for Kanye's set and in 2015 and James Blake's set in 2016, both times not gracing us with a bloody Bon Iver set

That's what I meant - it didn't do the gig any favours.

Nothing was going to do that gig favours tbh.

Plus, Exile is near the top of Swift fans' wishlist for the upcoming tour. It'd get the biggest reaction of the set I reckon.

People at home being like 'how sweet, Taylor's brought her Dad on stage for a song!'

Regarding sales figures, they've been a heated topic of conversation since I was a nipper (I'm in my 50s). It obviously was during the time of Elvis, the Beatles, Dylan, etc. 

It's quite interesting looking through this list and finding the ones that you remember being a big deal in your youth...

    • It’s probably fairly easy to stay in a hotel but I much prefer the camping set up. It was pretty quiet where we camped but a longer walk to the arena but the weather was nice so not a problem. There’s also a lake you can camp by. Once we got off the tube/train we walked down the main road and turned right (festival site is left) and camped down there.    Do you think? They do have water points inside the arena & where I camped there were toilets, showers & water points super close. I think if you time it right the RiP stage is so easy to get close to the front. Second stage is decent & a like the indoor arena for bands on the 3rd stage. I think all the stages sound better than Downloads too, always had issues with the 2nd stage at Download being too quiet. Even main at some points. 
    • Interesting that they’ve mentioned Blink-182 in mail. Btw dates for 2027 are 10-12 June. Same dates as Mystic & Sweden Rock and most likely Download, RFP & Greenfield.
