A recent Taylor Swift academic conference
The potential rise of minimalism in pop music
The costume of rural authenticity in Americana and roots-adjacent pop music, in both musical and sartorial choices
How the legacies of less-critically-acclaimed musicians are shaped following their deaths, as encapsulated by the recent posthumous coverage of Jimmy Buffett and Steve Harwell of Smash Mouth
