"My reading is always about musical biographies. I have an innate interest and passion for that"
About this Quote
The wording matters. “My reading” frames books as an extension of her inner life, not a performance of taste. Then she pivots to “innate interest and passion,” a phrase that preemptively defends the preference from being dismissed as fluff or nostalgia. She’s staking the claim that this isn’t PR-driven fandom; it’s temperament. That subtext is especially pointed for women in celebrity media, who are often treated as consumers of culture rather than interpreters of it. Blackwood positions herself as someone who wants the source code: how artists survive pressure, how personas get built, how scenes and sounds get made.
Musical biographies are also a way to metabolize an industry that feeds on glamour while running on damage. The appeal isn’t only the hits; it’s the cost of the hits, the machinery of fame, the private contradictions that public images sand down. In a single sentence, she signals allegiance to craft, curiosity about origin stories, and an insistence that pop lives are worth serious attention when they’re told with the mess intact.
