!!! a small warning before you read: this post touches on toxic relationships, emotional abuse, depression, heartbreak, and death/funeral metaphors. “doomsday” feels like emotionally packing your bags for a breakup that hasn’t happened yet–but you already know it’s coming. Lizzy McAlpine captures that strange in-between space of staying in something toxic while mentally preparing for the ending, like you’re both inside the relationship and already grieving it at the same time

There are live performances that feel polished, and then there are performances that feel alive. This one sits somewhere in the middle–but leans heavily into energy, nostalgia, and pure stage chemistry. Watching “Burnin’ Up” performed live again feels like stepping back into my 5-year-old self, fully obsessed with them all over again.

“Burnin’ Up” by the Jonas Brothers is basically my official gateway drug into boy bands.
