My mind instantly referenced the Sweater Curse when, back in June 2024, Sabrina Carpenter cast her then-boyfriend Barry Keoghan in the music video for “Please Please Please,” soon-to-be her first #1 hit. "I know that you’re an actor, so act like a stand-up guy," Carpenter pleads in the song, released just as Saltburn was making Keoghan a household name. Whether by curse or not, they were broken up by the end of the year.

You could be staring down what promises to be a lazy Friday afternoon, the week before a holiday, and then you could glance at your computer and realize that the world has changed. The album that you've been waiting on, the one that you didn't want to presume to expect, could suddenly fall out of the sky -- the whole thing just arriving on your phone all at once. Shit could get crazy, scary, spooky, hilarious. It's that rarest of beasts: the good kind of emergency.
