Have you heard anything about this?

Oddly enough, I heard this back at the end of June. And at the time they said it wouldn’t be public until after the LatAm leg. I guess they decided to push it back further.
Hi Sabine , As a popular louie/larrie blog and a big fan of louis, why do you never have any criticism about team louis? And do you always encourage their small movements? (even if it is not efficient and effective)! don't you expect them to do better? Louis is very talented and beautiful, and everyone who knows him will fall in love with him, Louis's team has Louis who has great potential but they don't do well in introducing Louis to GP
Hi nonnie, first of all I’m not popular at all, I’m just lucky a few actually popular blogs reblog my stuff. 🤣 And second of all I’m a bit struggling with posting my response because it could be taken the wrong way.
So about missing criticism on my blog, admittedly all you anons pretty much dictate what we’re discussing, I only curate my inbox.
But you’re probably right, I don’t have much criticism for Louis’ team because a) I wouldn’t even know who these people are? Or b) what exactly we’re criticizing? So to make a very simple question like “why am I not criticizing Louis’ team?” much more complex, I will share all the layers of counter questions I’d have for you:
Who is the criticism directed at? Louis’ team?
Do you mean LTHQ? (Who are they? What is their job?)
Do you mean Louis’ management?
Do you mean BMG’s promo gang?
Are all of the above the same to you?
What is the criticism about?
“They” should do more?
“They” should achieve more?
“They” are failing goals?
Do we know what those goals were to Louis? Or is everyone picturing their own goals and expectations?
And to make everything worse - this a very personal conviction of mine which differs from a lot of fans around here I’m sure. But great music and its success isn’t defined by charts or awards.
That might sound a bit idealistic and naive but I’ve been ignoring mainstream music for over twenty years easily and I’ve still been to sold out concerts and festivals, got merch of all my favorite bands knowing my musicians are allowed doing what they love doing. And that is music.
I’m even that strange, that if my little indie band “only I know” (hi KOL) suddenly gets a radio hit with their possibly worst mainstream crap song on the album (hi watermelon sugar sex is on fire) I usually turn my back on them.
So it’s hard for me to watch people say FITF failed, or doesn’t perform as expected. Because me, I’m absolutely euphoric for Louis! If he ends up in the charts that’s cool, but listen, he’s released a brilliant album with music he always wanted to make and which is already well received critically. He’s able to tour the world again next year, as he always wanted to. We all loooove the album (No shit! This isn’t some clouded judgment thing. It is as brilliant as we all think!) and isn’t that wonderful for Louis?! He’s in such a great place right now!
I get sad knowing that fans - even with the best intentions in mind - still think if FITF is not charting it’s a failure, it’s Louis’ team’s fault and we should all be disappointed. And I get it you know? It’s all coming from a place of love and support for Louis, and wanting him to conquer the music industry.
But I think, all what he’s achieved by now is a huge success for Louis (UK no. 1 on top). And I hope, he doesn’t sit at home right now staring at streaming numbers and thinking his “team” let him down, or thinking he failed us, or worse he was a failure. So maybe that’s why people don’t even ask for my opinion on Louis’ team. I’m just here vibing and being over the moon I’ve been introduced to All This Time and Headline and Written All Over Your Face and Luck-going on and on…
hii who's amy crawford? isn't she one of eleanor's friends?
I’m not sure who she is. Maybe part of Louis’ team or friends of friends. His team and band follow her, and Eleanor does too. And she follows Louis’ managers, Chris and Jesobel.
According to her Threads she joined them in Miami:
Does anyone know more about her?
Edit: she’s Chris Frewin’s partner. He’s one of Louis’ managers.
Fin Power, the frontman from the band STONE (one of Louis' tour opener) shared this TT where he shows that he has been contacted on behalf of Simon Cowell looking for new bands to recruit for his upcoming talent show. And his reply is pure gold!
"There's only one appropriate reply. Tell Simon Cowell to go fuck himself. Team 1D"
High school || Punk Louis x Quarterback Harry || Late 90s AU
Louis and Harry have been secretly dating for years. Feeling overwhelmed by his commitments, Harry suggests a short break, fearing he can't give Louis enough time. As Louis reflects on his vulnerabilities, Harry struggles on the field without him.

Daniel: I didn't forgive you for what you did to me.
Armand: I don't owe YOoOoOoOoOoOu my GREATEST SHAME.
Armand: And also look how smart you are you're so clever bb the brain damage did nothing
Armand: Anyway I'm sorry
Daniel: ...
Daniel: I have no idea how to react to that.
Louis: 🥺
Daniel: stop looking like that, you betrayed our alliance
No idea, love. I don’t pay a lot of attention to his team. I think people blame Matt in a similar way they blame Jeff—making him responsible for everything they’re unhappy with in Louis’ career. But, again, I don’t really know.
