I really have to say though I'm glad it looks like she has a solid team behind her this era that actually has its shot together and has seemingly done all the proper legwork before starting the era. The problem with the Kiss era was that, once Justin sent out that tweet about Call Me Maybe, the whole era was essentially put on a timer and the whole signing, recording, and promotional process had to be crammed into like a six month period to try and follow up on that song's success. It's actually a small miracle that the album turned out to be as perfect as it is.
This time around it seems like they've really gotten their ducks in a row. I'm hopeful.
