Wait what kind of true Ibiza smasher!
Paris is coming for Europe!
Not Paris Serving More energy than Britney.
Not trolling but I think I enjoyed this more than Brit's recent releases because Paris actually looks like she is genuinely having a good time. Unlike Britney who is simply going through the motions to be able to pay her millionaire taxes.
The song is very bad. Worse than anything Britney has ever done. And I love "Ibiza smashers."

You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after," declares the 18-year-old Nashville careerist. You can tell me that's worse than icky if you like; I believe in two of the three (prince charmings, no), and I think it's kind of icky myself. But I'm moved nevertheless by what can pass for a concept album about the romantic life of an uncommonly-to-impossibly strong and gifted teenage girl, starting on the first day of high school and gradually shedding naiveté without approaching misery or neurosis. Partly it's the tunes. Partly it's the musical restraint of a strain of Nashville bigpop that avoids muscle-flexing rockism. Partly it's the diaristic realism she imparts to her idealized tales. And partly it's how much she loves her mom. Swift sets the bar too high. But as role models go, she's pretty sweet.
Lorde already said Taylor is a bad role model. And since Royals is a bigger and more important record than any Taylor Swift song, what she says matters.
She gets so caught up in the feeling that she lets herself blurt something truly vulnerable: "I've never felt more alone/ It feels so scary, getting old." Lorde’s music is quietly wise to a particular modern irony: Beneath every #DGAF there’s a person who secretly gives a **** about something, and behind every anti-pop song there’s a singer who—just like everybody else—knows what it’s like to feel happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time.
