Yeah, it’s a really smart trick. I did the same by replacing YouTube and other time-wasting apps with book apps, and it helped me read and listen to more books instead of getting lost in podcasts and random videos.

Things are much worse with the word "shit" — she used it or its derivatives like "shitstorm," "shit-talked," and "shitty" only six times. Boring!

Interestingly, it was most intensely used in the original TTPD version, with 25 instances, compared to only 5 times in the second hour. It seems that the work on the second part of The Anthology significantly calmed her down.

It's common practice for musicians to work with a team, especially if we're talking about bona fide stars. You can't do mastering, mixing, production, etc., by yourself. I still don't get your point, sorry. Btw, the songs on the last album were co-written by her with Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner.

Is it bad for a musician to have a team? Anyway, on what basis do you say that? Could you please provide some materials for me to read about it?
