      @@ThaddIpi’d think its because she has a big swiftie following and knows not to concern herself with John because thats the majority of her fanbase (edit): Not because she doesnt want to concern herself with John, there are many vids of her covering John’s songs and she wrote that in her letter for a reason. Its sad because i think a part of her would love to collab with him more since he is a musicians musician but her fanbase doesnt let her. Shitty af but its understandable, john isnt exactly PR positive.

    i’m just now getting to watch this but happy birthday lizzy!! i doubt you’ll see this but i’ll still put this here for someone else to hopefully come across. i remember in 2020 when i first came across you from finding ‘where do i go?’ on a recommended songs playlist and sitting on my swing set feeling all alone and lost at 13 and falling in love with your music. that entire fall i listened to all of “give me a minute” and ‘indigo’ on soundcloud. ever since then your music has been the one thing to keep me feeling hopeful for my potential career. ive been able to go see you tour twice, the first time being a few days shy of turning 16 at the atl show. i was definitely the youngest person at the q&a and i got the opportunity to ask you how to start song writing and you told me to just start writing and at the time it sounded so daunting but now ive started to write my own stuff and hopefully i can turn them into songs someday soon:) anyways now i turn 18 in 5 days and i just wanted to say thank you for always being a authentically you and for keeping your art real and raw. it’s really cool that i’ve gotten the opportunity to grow up to your music. cheers to 25, can’t wait to see where i am at 25!
