Can confirm that they don’t jive. But they’re both great. Carly is a great way to rebound from Swift, though.

Announced or actually had it first. The labels know more than the public. It would be surprising to learn that they didn’t have some idea Swift was dropping on the same date. Possible though.

Brave, or epically bad decision making by the label? If it weren't for this post I wouldn't have even known.

That being said, I will be merging Midnights and The Loneliest Time into a playlist for the drive home.
