I think it's time for us to do a KO! Thank you to the forums that provided the inspiration!

 

We have a whopping 48 songs in our KO. Ultra edit: now 64 to make this run smoothly and we basically have enough singles for that to work!! :o

 

Rules (taken from Ariana forum): All of these songs have been randomized into duals. Please bold your favorite song in each pair. The winners of each one will move on to round 2!

 

Deadline: March 3, 2021

Hey guys, just to let you know that I've edited in eight new ties above so please add them into your votes if you haven't already!

 

(I'll drop y'all PM's at a later time if you don't see this)

 

I've added in the soundtrack singles + her collaborations (+ Welcome To New York cos it was a 1989 pre-release and we needed one more song) as this way this takes us to 32 ties meaning we don't need to have any wildcard rounds or anything! <3
