There are not many words that describe this book . . . because it was amazing. I cannot tell you how much it related to me and gave me the example and Scripture I needed to get through my obstacles. I am really boy crazy and love the thought of love, but this book helped me in more ways than could be counted.

If you can think of any crazy behavior, I have probably done it. And I have probably done it more than once. I threw away my dignity and destroyed my reputation. All fueled by fear and pain, and in the name of love.

Some of us just choose to continue to act in the same ways because we know that if we were in a healthy relationship and in drama-free life, we would have no other option but to spend our time actually dealing with our pain and wounds.

When we spend years thinking of ourselves as victims of a sad childhood, bad people, and bad luck, it becomes part of our identity. I had to learn to take responsibilities for my actions and had to learn to rewire my brain into accepting my role in every circumstance of my life.

I was never taught how to be alone. The thought of having to sit with myself and work on what was really hurting me was terrifying. But once I took that first step toward healing, the journey became addicting.

I could literally feel my muscles getting stronger each time I overpowered my urge to text, to call, or to get involved with other unhealthy men just to fill the void, and to continue the emotional roller coaster I was so used to riding.

The disruptive storm I created for myself throughout the years ultimately propelled me out of the dark and crazy hole of fear, and into the sane, consciously aware world of self-acceptance and self-love.

If "b*tches be crazy," then bros be lazy because a man calling a woman crazy is one of the most unoriginal, overused, generalized, dismissive labels you can give a woman. It seems whenever a woman is engaging in some kind of irrational behavior, there is always a man there to label her as totally psycho.

Just to clarify, yes some women are mentally unwell, just like some men are mentally unwell, but I'm not talking about those people. I am talking about generally mentally stable people who have feelings.

When a guy gets angry, smitten, or cries, he is called passionate, romantic, and sensitive. When a woman gets angry, smitten, or cries, she is called a crazy b*tch. Sure, sometimes relationships can drive you mad. But, having feelings doesn't mean a woman is "crazy." It means they are human.

I don't mind admitting my lovesick moments. The first one was in seventh grade when every week I would call a boy and hang up when he answered. (Eventually, that boy asked me to be his girlfriend then dumped me after two days, yet I continued to obsess over him for three years.)

More recently, I've spent embarrassing amounts of time on social media looking for clues to whether or not he liked me (word to the wise, if you have to research it that much, the answer is most likely no).

It was the kind of "crazy" that made my busy, usually-mature-adult-self waste hours trying to break into his email accounts because I had an intuitive feeling that he was lying to me again, and then made me scream and cry and throw things when my detective work proved my intuition was right again.

You may have heard the term "gaslighting" before. If not, gaslighting is a psychiatric term that came from the classic movie Gaslight and is a form of mental abuse in which false information is presented with the intent of making a victim doubt his or her own memory, perception, and sanity.

So even if it's him who keeps saying "Yeah I totally mailed that letter," and her who keeps finding the letter sitting on the kitchen table, she is somehow manipulated into feeling "crazy" for nagging him.

So if you're reading this while taking a break from trying to crack his Facebook password because you don't trust him after catching him sending flirty messages with a co-worker but he convinced you that "You're crazy, it was just a joke", please know you are not crazy.

I ended things with the guy who frequently lied to me. It wasn't easy, but the more he called me "crazy" the more I realized the craziest thing I was doing was staying with a person I didn't fully trust.

And if you're the one calling someone else crazy, step back and see if you're doing anything to create the "crazy." Are they really being outrageous and irrational, or are they simply reacting to your wrongdoings?

When Jess* (C'21) discovered that her old high school boyfriend had slept over at his ex's house while they were together, she traveled to the second stage of grief almost immediately: anger. Naturally, she confronted him for his behavior, but was not met with understanding.

"I was told I was crazy for taking too heavy of a course load, crazy for standing up to teacher's problematic behavior, crazy for sleeping around, crazy for playing sports aggressively, and crazy for not having girl friends."

Unfortunately, the general tenet of her experience is rather omnipresent. If it wasn't, Taylor Swift's discography would be significantly shorter. Most women I know have been called crazy (or some synonym to that effect) at some point in their life for exhibiting valid emotional reactions or thoughts.

In the 19th century, doctors memorialized the Crazy Woman forever through their diagnoses. "Hysteria", as it was called, was a legitimate "female mental disorder" given to women that were exhibiting 'unusual' behavior. The behavior in question? Anxiety, fainting, nervousness, simultaneously a loss or a gain in sexual appetite (misogyny is nothing if not paradoxical), and a laundry list of other symptoms that totaled 75. In summary, both the general population and medical professionals would've read Gilman's The Yellow Wallpaper and concluded that the husband was the protagonist.

"Women demanding equality was a pesky problem, and hysteria was a brilliant answer," says therapist and author Amber Madison. Hysteria was the perfect tool of devaluing feminism, because it undermined those who espoused it.

Psychologically speaking, "'emotional' is a term used to label women whom you don't want to have a voice in a situation," says Matthew Zawadski, a stress and emotions expert at UC Merced. "'You're acting crazy' really mean[s] 'I don't have to pay attention to you.'" A follow-up study conducted by Zawadksi found that "women were not inherently 'crazier' or more anxious than men; it's simply that their emotions are read differently and used to delegitimize them". In essence, women's opinions and feelings often are invalidated as a means of not giving them any thought whatsoever.

The repeated use of crazy in a negative context also produces harmful stereotypes regarding mental illness. More specifically, it propagates the notion that mental illness is shameful, and that having one negates the right to any sort of valid feeling or thought.

And then there is, of course, the pleasant dichotomy that the Crazy Woman spawned: Cool Girl/Crazy Girl. Although I'm aware that quoting Amy Dunne, the sociopathic protagonist of the hit movie and book Gone Girl, might delegitimize the following point I'm about to make, I also realize that an acknowledgment of this oddity will by no means discourage critique by the very people that toss the word 'crazy' around.

Dunne's soliloquy highlights a female stereotype that most men have created in their heads, and that some women run with in order to please them. Cool Girl's identifiable trait is that above all, she is not crazy, and therefore, she is worth time and attention. Interestingly, the modern iteration of Cool Girl seems to be 'Pick Me Girl,' which is based on Meredith Grey's impassioned speech to a man who won't leave his wife for her. The 'Pick Me Girl' is used to refer to girls that act in accordance with tropes from Men are Mars, Women are From Venus in order to solicit attention. The problem with this, however, is that while Pick Me Girls and Cool Girls are notoriously called out for being 'attention-seeking' or 'needing male validation', the men that perpetuate and created those very stereotypes are often afforded little to no blame at all in the conversation.

BRITTANY LUSE, HOST: Hey there. You're listening to IT'S BEEN A MINUTE from NPR. I'm Brittany Luse. And I know we're just starting, but I want to do a little thought experiment with you. If you were to hypothetically stop this podcast and walk down the busiest street in town, the one with all the bars and the cars with their windows down blaring music, if you were to just stop and listen, I bet you would not hear 2023's song of the summer. And that's because, I'm here to declare, there isn't one. It's the middle of July, and there's no song we can't stop listening to and also low-key hate at the same time. I'm also here to declare that this is a problem. For a certain generation, the song of the summer was tradition. We anticipated it. We craved it. We hated it. But we all did it together. NPR culture editor Bilal Qureshi and I are of that generation. And the other day we were talking about the summer that Beyonce ruled the charts. On July 12, 2003, 20 years ago this week, her debut solo single, "Crazy In Love," went No. 1 and stayed there for eight weeks.(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "CRAZY IN LOVE")BEYONCE: (Singing) Your love's got me looking so crazy right now. Got me looking so crazy right now. Your touch got me looking so crazy right now.BILAL QURESHI, BYLINE: I mean, I think with a song like "Crazy In Love," it was the kind of full assault on, like, music, video, fashion, the image, the song. It was that sort of feeling of it being, like, 3D all summer, you know what I mean...LUSE: Ooh, 3D.QURESHI: ...And kind of being everywhere...LUSE: Yeah.QURESHI: ...All at once, you know, like that movie. And it also I think to me helped me create the map of that summer, you know? Like, when you remember a certain summer, like, you remember that certain summer song, and it connected you to your memories and to other people. That was what I think of as the sort of shorthand that a summer song used to be. I do think that used to be 'cause I don't feel that way anymore.(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: For the first time on MTV, "Crazy In Love." Give it up for Beyonce.LUSE: In 2003, "Crazy In Love" was a 3D experience.(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)BEYONCE: It's Beyonce. How y'all feeling, MTV?LUSE: That's what made it inescapable, from the song itself to the video to the fashion that all of us were replicating well into the fall that year. It was monumental.(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)BEYONCE: Then I put it out, and I was terrified 'cause I didn't know how people would react, actually. And it ended up being the song of the summer, so I'm very blessed and very happy.LUSE: And in 2023 - nothing.(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)LUSE: I want to get into the consequences of why this is a problem. But first, I want to run around inside of that 3D experience because that kind of summer hit was a launching pad for so many pop megastars who still define pop culture today. I'm talking about Rihanna, Lil Wayne, Katy Perry, Usher and, of course, the queen herself, Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter.COREY ANTONIO ROSE, BYLINE: You say her name, and I'm just like...LUSE: Chills.ROSE: ...Here we go.LUSE: I got goosebumps, actually, right now (laughter).That's one of my producers, Corey Antonio Rose. And to get into the 3D experience, I sat him down for a history lesson because not to put him on blast, but he was only 4 years old when "Crazy In Love" came out. Corey Antonio, do you remember the first time you heard "Crazy In Love"?ROSE: Oh, my gosh. I mean, that's like asking the first time you heard John 3:16.LUSE: (Laughter)ROSE: "Crazy In Love" is just one of those songs that I feel like I grew up with 'cause I feel like it's just always been there.LUSE: It's the staple. I mean, I was, I believe, 15.ROSE: Oh, that's a good time.LUSE: Oh, it was such a good time. Like, this is the thing. Like, not only was "Crazy In Love" the song of the summer 2003. It was a cultural phenomenon and considered one of the biggest debuts by a solo artist ever. And in researching for this conversation, I found some pretty legendary stories about the making of the song.ROSE: Yes, please.LUSE: OK, so for starters, Beyonce had planned to release her solo debut album, "Dangerously In Love"...ROSE: Yes.LUSE: ...In October of 2002, but her fellow Destiny's Child member, Kelly Rowland, was dominating the charts in '02 with this song that she made with Nelly, "Dilemma."(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "DILEMMA")KELLY ROWLAND: (Singing) No matter what I do, all I think about is you.ROSE: Oh, my gosh, yes. Yes, "Dilemma."LUSE: So because "Dilemma" was such a big, big, big song - and you remember the video had Patti LaBelle...ROSE: Yes, yes, yes.LUSE: ...Who, you know, sang the song that "Dilemma" was basically fashioned after...ROSE: "Love, Need And Want You," yes. Yes.LUSE: Exactly. Exactly.(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "LOVE, NEED AND WANT YOU")PATTI LABELLE: (Singing) Need you. I need you. Baby, I...LUSE: So this song was so huge - it was such a huge hit - Beyonce had to wait 'cause they didn't want to, like, have, you know, the Destiny's Child girls stepping on each other's, you know, hits.ROSE: Toes, yeah, yeah, yeah.LUSE: Right, right, right. So Beyonce had to wait it out because "Dilemma" was just that strong.ROSE: I didn't know that. Oh, wow. And I do remember "Dilemma."LUSE: Because Beyonce had to hold her album from 2002 to 2003, this gave Beyonce more time to meet with more producers. And one of them was this guy, Rich Harrison...ROSE: OK.LUSE: ...Who had worked with Kelly Rowland before, had worked with Mary J. Blige before, also had worked with Amerie, one of his most famous collaborators. She had a huge hit, "Why Don't We Fall in Love."ROSE: "1 Thing."LUSE: Yes, and "1 Thing," which came out - which ended up coming out later. But yeah, so, like, you know, Rich Harrison was somebody that was in the mix, definitely was, like, a producer to watch at that moment. And he had been sitting on this beat that he thought would be a smash hit. It was a sample of this Chi-Lites song from December 1970 called "Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)." And he took the percussion and the horns from the track and laid down what would become "Crazy In Love." Oh, Corey Antonio, not you hitting the uh-oh, uh-oh dance...ROSE: (Laughter).LUSE: ...In the chair (laughter).ROSE: Have to. I really hope nobody walked by the studio in the back.LUSE: (Laughter).ROSE: Yes, I recognize it. It just - that is the part of "Crazy In Love" that gets you - like, there's no intro to the song. There's no soft, sweet, like, la la la la la before the instrumental hits. It starts with that.(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "CRAZY IN LOVE")JAY-Z: Yes. So crazy right now.ROSE: So when you hear it, it's immediately that toe-tapping, hip-shaking, gyrating kind of feeling.(LAUGHTER)LUSE: So Beyonce and Rich Harrison get in touch. And when he gets the call from Beyonce that she wants to hear some tracks for him, he knew that this was the person he had been saving this track for. And he was so confident that she would love it that the night before their meeting, he went out partying to celebrate. And the next day, he was late to the meeting. Imagine in 2023 a producer getting a call from Beyonce and going out the night before partying and showing up late to the meeting. Imagine that in 2023. You wouldn't dare.ROSE: I mean, I'd be at the studio. I would've slept at the studio.LUSE: Exactly.(LAUGHTER)LUSE: OK. So in that studio, a hungover Rich Harrison plays Beyonce that track. Rich says that Beyonce said, I love the idea. Now write the song. I'll be back in two hours. So he just had the beat. He had not written a single word of the song yet.ROSE: I'm imagining the pressure...LUSE: The pressure.ROSE: ...Of Beyonce closing that door after she leaves and you just sitting there with a pen and paper like, well...(LAUGHTER)LUSE: Exactly. Exactly.ROSE: What are we going to do now?LUSE: What are we going to do? Exactly. What the hell we going to do now?(LAUGHTER)LUSE: Now, what happens next is maybe my favorite part of the story. So Beyonce left. She's like, I'll be back in two hours because she needed to go buy a birthday present for Kelly Rowland.ROSE: Oh, wow.LUSE: But before she left, she was saying to Rich that she was worrying about being photographed by the press. She kept saying like, I'm looking crazy right now.(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "CRAZY IN LOVE")BEYONCE: (Singing) Looking so crazy right now.LUSE: You know, her clothes weren't matching, and her hair wasn't combed. And Rich Harrison heard that and ran with it.(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "CRAZY IN LOVE")BEYONCE: (Singing) Looking so crazy. Your love's got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love.LUSE: By the time Beyonce came back, he had laid down the chorus and the verses. You got me sprung. I don't care who sees. Got me looking so crazy right now. Like, that was just what came from that remark from Beyonce. Like, oh, my God, I hope I don't - I hope the paparazzi don't see me. I'm looking so crazy right now.ROSE: The impact, the impact.LUSE: The impact, the impact.ROSE: Beyonce on her worst day is still better than us on our best.LUSE: (Laughter).ROSE: Like, Beyonce having an off look day, a mismatched outfit day...LUSE: Wild, right?ROSE: ...Literally spawned a cultural generation.LUSE: All these elements came together like "Captain Planet."ROSE: (Laughter) Like "Captain Planet."LUSE: And "Crazy In Love" in its complete form became Beyonce's debut single as a solo artist. And, I mean, in a way, that birthday present to Kelly, I guess we can now say, was also something of a, like, I'm so sorry (laughter), but...ROSE: Move over.LUSE: (Laughter) Move over.ROSE: (Laughter).LUSE: Like, I'm coming. I'm coming through. So, Corey Antonio, now that you know the backstory, how do you feel? What do you think?ROSE: What's going through my mind right now is how consistently Beyonce has always paid homage to sort of, like, Black history in her work. And given that "Crazy In Love" is a sample from the '70s, it just feels so fitting and so right that that would be the song that launches this career that ends up, you know, in her being the first Black woman to headline Coachella and paying homage to the HBCU scene. It makes me smile that "Crazy In Love," the foundation of it is in this, like, steady history of Black music. But also, I'm just like, the amount of things that had to go right in order for "Crazy In Love" to happen, period, is like - imagine, what would our world be like if we didn't have it?(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "CRAZY IN LOVE")BEYONCE: (Singing) You got me so crazy, baby. Got me looking so crazy right now. Your love's got me looking so crazy right now.LUSE: That was Corey Antonio Rose, one of the producers of this show and who we call the Beyonce of audio journalism. Coming up, we're going deeper into that song of the summer 3D experience with Beyonce's stylist and how he and Queen Bey got everyone to wear the same thing all summer long. I'm Brittany Luse, and you're listening to IT'S BEEN A MINUTE from NPR.(SOUNDBITE OF ABE STEWART'S "FERRIS WHEEL")LUSE: Of course, the song part of the song of the summer is pretty important. But another big part of the reason "Crazy In Love" was such a cultural phenomenon was the video. It was another slice of that 3D experience that Bilal was talking about earlier. The video was so a part of the culture that every girl that summer and well into the fall and honestly for years to come were emulating the looks. I'm talking about that white tank top, those jean shorts, the red pumps. And to talk about this slice of the 3D experience, we're talking to the guy who dressed Beyonce for years, from Destiny's Child videos to the tuxedo look Beyonce wore for her first pregnancy announcement at the VMAs to the On the Run Tour. I've got Beyonce's longtime stylist and the stylist for "Crazy In Love," Ty Hunter. Ty Hunter, welcome to IT'S BEEN A MINUTE.TY HUNTER: Thank you for having me here. It's such an honor. I'm so excited. Thank you so much.LUSE: Thank you. Thank you for making the time. So you styled Beyonce for many years - so many iconic looks. But you were there at the beginning of her solo career for "Crazy In Love." And that song and the video and the fashion in the video are so linked together. You cannot think about the song without seeing Beyonce strutting in that white Prada tank top...HUNTER: Yeah.LUSE: ...And those short denim shorts and the red Stuart Weitzman pumps. As you were picking looks, did you think to yourself, I am picking something iconic?HUNTER: On set, like, when we decided to do it and she came out with very minimal makeup and just - like, it was just good to see a stripped-down from - everything was so Destiny's Child, The Supremes, you know - and just to see some simplicity.LUSE: You know, I also have to note that in researching for this conversation, we found out that the tank top of that iconic red, white and blue look, that white Prada tank top...HUNTER: Rhinestone.LUSE: ...Had rhinestones. I literally - you had me going back through the video and, like, zooming in. I didn't realize that.HUNTER: No one knew. No one knew. Everybody thought it was a simple tank top. But the cool thing was the reason why we started with less - because we really wanted the fans to have a chance to copy certain things and be able to be a part of it. And so a jean short, a white tank and some red pumps - of course, that end ups - you see that on Halloween everywhere. And it just became a staple for something that girls can emulate and copy.LUSE: You know, that tank top and denim shorts were the opening look. But from there, the fashion and the price tags go up. I mean, we're talking about that sleek, green...HUNTER: That was Gucci.LUSE: ...You know, the Gucci dress on the roof...HUNTER: Yeah.LUSE: ...And the - yeah, the Roberto Cavalli fur coat in front of the burning car.HUNTER: You had to know all the names. I can't take you.(LAUGHTER)LUSE: We do our research. We do our research. We do our research.HUNTER: I see.(LAUGHTER)LUSE: But...HUNTER: I see.LUSE: It all culminates for me in my absolute favorite look in the video, the neon block...HUNTER: Versace.LUSE: ...Versace dress...HUNTER: Yes.LUSE: ...When Beyonce is in front of the fan.HUNTER: That Versace whole collection - we fell in love with it. It was just, like, a cool, urban but yet chic look. And to be honest with you, Donatella sent me and Miss Tina the whole collection to play with.LUSE: My jaw's on the floor. Whoa. OK.HUNTER: But we were like, wouldn't it be great if we could put all of this stuff, all of the Versace whole collection on the dancers, too, and just have a Versace moment?LUSE: Right.HUNTER: And we saw the set, and it was this huge fan. So Bey was like, we can make this into a runway Versace campaign. Let's just see if we can use it on the dancers. And so the time difference was a little different. So I finally was able to get in contact with someone from her team to get the OK. And when we got the OK, we was like...LUSE: Donatella.HUNTER: ...Yes, we can do this. And so it was just an exciting time.LUSE: Wow.HUNTER: And I love Beyonce because she loves to empower women and beautiful women, and she want them to look hot, too. You know what I mean? Like, it's rare that you find a star that want - she wants them to shine as bright as her. She believes in the whole packages being bright.LUSE: You know, I also think it's interesting that in that video, Beyonce goes from the girl next door to, like, a superstar by the time you get to that ending Versace look. You know, it kind of makes me think back to still that first outfit. I love that there was that look in there because, I mean, trust - I was emulating some form of the white tank top and the denim Daisy Dukes and heels, like, throughout my early 20s.HUNTER: Yes.LUSE: But, I mean, to throw a wrench in that, even though that is kind of, like, the girl next door look, like, those rhinestones that, like you said, most people don't notice - they kind of signal that, in fact, Beyonce - she's not like the rest of us...(LAUGHTER)LUSE: ...Because, you know, it's like she's the girl next door but not quite. She's not quite like the rest of us because you know, who among us, at least of her fans, as I was at that time, could afford that? Like...HUNTER: The first interview I did and I said the top had rhinestones and people started zooming in, it was like, well, that's why I didn't get the outfit quite right. It was something missing.LUSE: Exactly.HUNTER: It's like, I look cute, but...LUSE: Exactly.HUNTER: It was something missing.LUSE: Yeah, I was like, I know part of it is I'm not Beyonce. But part of it - I was like, it's not shimmering the same way. I mean...(LAUGHTER)LUSE: You really did that - like, made the unachievable seem achievable.HUNTER: To this day, it's my favorite body of work.LUSE: Thank you so, so much, Ty, for joining us today. I really appreciate this conversation. Like I said, this is one of my favorite music videos of all time, so it was a pleasure to unpack it.HUNTER: Thank you.LUSE: That was Ty Hunter, Beyonce's longtime stylist. His new book is called "Makeover From Within." Coming up, we fast-forward to 2023 and look at why that 3D experience "Crazy In Love" gave us isn't possible today.(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)LUSE: Now that we've gotten a picture of how to create not just a song of the summer but a 3D experience for it, I want to turn away from 2003 and towards 2023. Twenty years later, Beyonce is still ruling the culture. Her massive Renaissance World Tour just landed in the U.S. this week, and she's still on top because, of course, she is an incredible artist. But I also think there's something else going on. The music industry does not know how to create a megastar like a Beyonce in our current fractured media landscape. Instead, they're increasingly relying on pop stars from an earlier era. And NPR culture editor Bilal Qureshi and I both think that has the potential to radically change how the next generation will experience pop stardom.QURESHI: Like, I think that's one of the big things that people in the music industry have been talking about - is the sort of end of the monoculture, right? Like, that term, which is everywhere - that there used to be these, like, movie stars that - do we have movie stars anymore? Do we have a certain music star that sort of is collectively loved by across - and maybe some of it is not love, but you're forced to love 'cause they're everywhere. It's sort of cliche and not that insightful, I suppose, to say that, like, the streaming age, the AirPod age - like, we're all plugged into our own realities now, right? And so that's a big part of what I think has really changed. We don't really have a monoculture superstar anymore because we also don't really have a monoculture, and we have an AirPod culture.LUSE: Something I've been thinking about as we've been preparing to talk to you is, like, what's replaced monoculture listening? And it's like Spotify Wrapped because of, as you put it, AirPod culture. Everyone's like, OK, so what were you listening to? Like, at the end of the year, we're all, like, comparing notes. Like, well, what were you listening to? What were you actually into? Because we kind of don't have that communal experience in the same way anymore.The last time I think I really felt like that happened, it wasn't quite a song of the summer. It was more like a song of the winter - was "Drivers License" by Olivia Rodrigo. She's maybe the last pop artist that I can think of, the only Gen Z pop artist that I can think of who had some sort of artist development and, like, you know, having her social media, like following, be braided into the journey of her releasing her, you know, debut single. Like, there were all of these things that had to go right. But all of those things were still done with intention and orchestrated on purpose.QURESHI: Well, you know, I mean, I have to say, to me, like, when you're talking about "Crazy In Love," it feels like - or just those...LUSE: Yeah.QURESHI: ...Beyonce songs or "Single Ladies" - it's like the song was the central product. And, like, everything else was spun around it. And I kind of feel like that isn't the case anymore because it's like when you look at the stardom of somebody like a Taylor Swift, it's like she's the central thing - her diaries, the feeling of connection to her. I'm not saying that her songs aren't.LUSE: Well done or whatever. Right.QURESHI: She has so many songs that she can go on, like, such a long tour.LUSE: She had eras, too. She's had eras.QURESHI: And I think that is because of that connection to her and not just to a specific song. Yeah, I think it's the - I mean, everything is - in the industry has changed so much, as you said.LUSE: Yeah. I mean, the music industry has changed. As you mentioned, how we consume
