Her Twitter looks like she's having so much fun on this tour lately, with all the retweets from fans and her tour crew etc. It's cute.
I think we should see that as an example and be happy with what we have and make the best of it. She got a #2 hit, has sold close to 300,000 records now (which isn't the most, but it's still respectable and good in this era of piracy) that also went top 5 on the album charts upon release, and she'll be touring all summer getting money.
It could be worse, let's appreciate things instead of mourning over what should have been in our minds.
