      The allegations about him came out in the fucking early 90's before Gaga was even a thing during the height of her being raised and during her childhood.
      He was being made fun of for being a sex offender in the EARLY 2000's on multiple pop culture shows and news since the 90's like The Dave Chapelle show for example for urinating on a teenage girl sexually AND in the 90's was caught trying to MARRY Aaliyah who was 15 at the time at sea ONTOP of multiple other allegations.
      Also WHEN does a twitter apology ONCE absolve ANYONE. Name one other person who could issue just a simple apology and everyone be like " okay " ?
      She went OUT OF HER WAY to work with him knowing he was controversial that is why she wanted him on that track.
      ALSO are we pretending she wasn't besties with Terry Richardson up until a handful of years ago when he was finally COMPLETELY blacklisted? ( After like a decade and a half of him being a known predator )

The subtle detail of the red bikini under the white shirt adds a layer of promiscuity that elevates it beyond the Milky Way and all the way to The Heavens in a way that we don't deserve.

    Britney’s Debut album cover truly does give some strange vibes.

    8:38 so real for putting Mitski in galactic tier
    I listened to her discography in order cos my friends wouldn't shut up abt her... And when I got to Be the Cowboy, the cover sent me to heaven before I even listened to it
    Edit: Speak Now in C tier is incredibly upsetting. Like I get not liking it, but then putting fearless TV (which literally looks worse) in B Tier is criminal
    I appreciate evermore and 1989 being in A, they deserve it
    Tbf I agree with most of the other ranking tho

    REP IS TAYLOR'S BEST ALBUM. FACT. And imo that cover is one of the best ever. Bc when u cover the left side u can see the dark toned right side which is what media potrayed her as, as nowespaper font is all over it. But when u cover that right side, u only see her left, light toned side which is her acual self. And there is a choker which represents the pressure and ripped sweater which probably represents all the damages she went through. Genius.

      I like how you just said pink for nicki minaj because it implies that just all the nicki album covers starting with pink are top tier lol
