My Weekend Crush

Well, well, well. Aren’t we in the era of confirmations of gay shit we totally knew (i.e. Rio was Nicky’s other mother et al). While promoting her new solo album “Forever Is a Feeling,” singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus confirmed she was in a relationship with her boygenius bandmate Julien Baker. I know, I know – duh. But these days confirmations of verifiable facts are few and far between. So it’s lovely that Lucy made it official, official in a series of interviews including with the New Yorker and People. Missing out on boygenius’s supercaligaygilistic 2023 tour is a bit of a regret of mine. But, at least we’ll have the photographic memories. Like, do you think every icon they’re photographed with here knew?

Did Meryl tell them to move their relationship at a glacial pace?

Was Joan Baez like, aw, which one is Diamond and which one is Rust?

And given this photo with Billie Eilish was taken in December 2023 – four months before she herself came out in her April 2024 Rolling Stone cover story – was she like, guys, I also have a secret?

Finally, I’d like to note that my clear cropping out of Phoebe Bridgers is not bisexual erasure (she has been with standup Bo Burnham since 2022, not that there’s anything wrong with that), but because who needs a third wheel around all the time? Amirite, ladies? Anyway, I kept her in with Taylor because, well, those Gaylor rumors won’t perpetuate themselves.

Anyway, mazel tov to Lucy and The Little One. May you continue to be each other’s best guess at the future forever. Also, no matter what the Internet may have already landed on, imma call them "Jucy." Happy weekend, all.
