Liv’s songs of the year | Liv Listens

By Olivia Stapleton December 5, 2025
Song of the Year is technically a songwriting award, and I’m sure there is more deliberation that goes into these nominations than I could imagine. Still, I wish to ignore the rules just for today and take you through a few songs that didn’t get nominated for any Grammys but were definitely some of my songs of the year.

If you’re a TV show connoisseur, and we have the same taste, I hope this serves as a helpful guide for some songs to add to your library. If you spot one of your favorite songs but have yet to see the show I associate it with, I hope this encourages you to give it a watch as well.

Recently, I had a friend tell me she was interested in listening to Phoebe Bridgers. If you haven’t been living under a rock, chances are that you’ve at least heard of her before. However, if you’ve never gotten around to listening, that’s okay, because I’m here to help.

Navigating different friendship dynamics through music | Liv Listens

By Olivia Stapleton October 16, 2024
When I was growing up, my parents would tell me that boyfriends would come and go, but friends would last forever.  Now that I’m older, I don’t entirely agree with that statement. Maybe it’s the romantic in me, or maybe it’s because I’ve had my fair share of bad friends. So, I’d modify their advice slightly: When you find the right people, true friendship can be the most incredible thing.
