[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She said last year that they wanted a huge wedding. MSG is probably the best way to accommodate that and everyone’s schedules/logistics/privacy. It’s also on brand for both of them - go big or go home.  [/quote]

We all had THAT friend who married super late and insists on a huge wedding. It's so cringe.[/quote]

The mansion is great for the bachelorette, but would that work for a huge wedding. It is literally on a public beach for the bachelorette they had police from the town hanging out by the house to make sure no one can walk up. It’s very easy to walk up though.

They’re also be tons of helicopters and people are speculating that you can’t fly over Madison Square Garden so they don’t have to deal with that

If she wanted to do something tiny like Carolyn and John that would work, but it sounds like they want to big so they have to to get creative. I tend to think they’re doing a tiny wedding somewhere secret and having a big party at MSG.
They are winning at life and yes they are cringe. They own it. [/quote]

I've always thought she was cringe, but in a good way: She's out there doing what she wants, takes her job and her fans seriously, and she's not afraid to be "too much". And she picked a guy who is very much the same. I'm not even a fan (own none of her albums) but it's crazy to claim she is washed up when she is still in the very top streaming and grossing artists, including for this year. And some of the other artists up there like Rihanna, The Weekend and Drake are around her age. As for young people, yes, they like new music, then tire of it. Enduring is harder.[/quote]

She's definitely not washed up and the posters saying that are being ridiculous. Whether her music or specific brand of celebrity is for you, she's clearly still very much on top. You hear her music everywhere, it's ubiquitous. I didn't even like her last album at all but I hear Opalite all the time and still find myself singing along sometimes. She's not washed up.

That said, I have a totally different take on her cringiness. I respect her enormously as an artist and a businesswoman, there are few other artists who have found a way to marry commercial success with making what appears to be *exactly* the music she wants to make. But her public persona and her brand of cringe really bugs me. Where you see someone who isn't afraid to be "too much", I see entitlement and a level of ego that really grates on me. It's just something that happens when someone hits that level of superstardom. I felt the same about Michael Jackson in his "King of Pop" phase (before the pedophilia allegations even). Madonna is another great example. They also weren't afraid to be "too much." It's because they have enormous egos, more money than God, and forgot their $hit stinks just like everyone else's.

I love some of her music and can overlook the personality issues to respect her as an artist, but I'm not going to try to find someone to defend this circus as anything other than a self-absorbed celebrity circle jerk. And yes, Travis is similar to her in personality and the combination is nauseating to me. Sorry not sorry. Anti-hero is still one of my favorite songs of the last decade.[/quote]

But doesnt shechave someone to tell her a stadium wedding reception is a bad look, will make you mocked and despised. Can no one tell her this?![/quote]

NP-I really doubt she's actually doing this. Always thought she'd get married at her Rhode Island mansion because it's such an ideal setting for that. She usually has her 4th of July party there. Maybe she's planning some sort of a party for fans at MSG.[/quote][/quote]
