Hi pop lovers,
A sad week for us as we discuss the passing of Liam Payne. A celebrity very much of the digital era whose life, death and career post-1D open up a lot of topics, ranging from how to grieve a celebrity to the complexities of loving artists who harm others. This conversation is between Satu, who is a Liam girl, and fandom writer Kat McKenna. Respectful comments are welcome below.
We also discuss the announcement of Taylor Swift’s “book” from the perspective of two people who work in the publishing industry.
Popstars mentioned: Liam Payne, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, the One Direction boys, Matty Healy.
Non-popstar artists mentioned: Claire Dederer, Pablo Picasso, Ana Mendieta.
