- Happy Arctic Monkeys day to all those who celebrate <3
- I’ve spent years collecting dozens upon dozens of Arctic Monkeys cover stories – and now I’ve written my own for @NME?! My band, forever and always. I just love them so much. I really do. nme.com/big-reads/arct…
- I can’t quite believe I’m writing this tweet, but here is my first @NME cover story. I spoke to my long-time fave @DeclanMcKenna about growing up, selfhood, fear, and his magical new LP, ‘Zeros’. (*screams* I made another dream of mine come true at 19!!) bit.ly/3lXeC2z
- I can’t believe I just saw Taylor cover The City at The 1975 show… she did that for us, the children of 2013 Tumblr
- Absolutely overjoyed to share that in a few weeks’ time, I will be joining Team @NME as their New Music Writer. I can’t wait to learn and grow in this role, and I’m so grateful that my dream has become reality.
- I’ve moved into a new role at NME! I am now Associate Commissioning Editor (New Music), and would love to hear Radar pitches from new, passionate writers as I take over the reins of the section. But for now, I'm in my beloved Toronto celebrating this (and my 22nd birthday)!
this year was rough - brag on yourself a bit :)! what did you accomplish this year?- Pleased to report that the stan to music journalist pipeline is alive and well
- Thrilled to have this fab piece by @rhian__ over on @NME_Radar today – @Louis_Tomlinson is doing some really brilliant work for the scene, so let’s celebrate that!Regardless of what you think about @Louis_Tomlinson's music – past or present – his consistent support of the UK’s underground scene is nothing but admirable bit.ly/3Fx7lmc
