! i'm so hyped for a new season of snl uk with daran johnson at the helm - can't wait to see what kind of hilarious sketches and guests they have lined up 
. and ariana grande's final tour? that's gonna be something to remember 
. also, charli xcx has six films in production - girl boss is definitely on point 
. anyway, gotta say, i'm feeling the excitement for all these new shows, movies, and podcasts... it's like we're being treated to a whole new world of creativity 
. I mean, isn't a podcast just like listening to an audio show? What's the point of adding video to it? Will we be watching our favorite podcasters' faces while they talk? 
. I'm still Team Audiobooks all the way! 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around these new developments in entertainment. I mean, a biopic about Michael Jackson? That's like, totally gonna be a wild ride! 
I also heard that Ariana Grande is retiring from music... what?! No new projects this year? 
that's kinda harsh, don't you think? I guess Adele needs some time to recharge her vocal cords or something. And can we talk about Charli XCX having six films in production at the same time? That's like, a lot of projects! 
I also love that there's going to be a show all about Tracey Emin's work at Tate Modern, her art is so iconic! 
and can't wait for the new season of Ted Lasso 
, another year of platform overload 
. Netflix is finally embracing video podcasts, but it's just gonna be more noise on our feeds 
Meanwhile, Adele's taking an "incredibly long break" and I'm over here thinking, "Girl, just release some new music already!" 
. Can't we just take a breather from all the culture overload before it becomes too much to handle? 
And Ariana Grande's final tour? Girl, I need those tickets!

I'm hyped for the new season of "SNL UK" 
- Daran Johnson as head writer is gonna bring some fresh vibes! Also, who else is stoked to see a biopic about Michael Jackson? 
It's been ages since we've seen something like that on the big screen. And I love that Ariana Grande is going out with a bang 
10 dates at London's O2 are gonna be lit! 
I feel like she should give us one last performance at the VMAs lol but idk about Adele going on an 'incredibly long break' 
like what even is that? 6 films in production from Charli XCX though?! that's a lot of creative energy 
. But what's up with Netflix video podcasts?! It feels like a whole new way of consuming content 
. Anyway, biopic about Michael Jackson is gonna be crazy to watch 
. Ariana Grande's final tour is gonna be lit
