Observer Spotify Wrapped 2022: In our Taylor era

Aidan Thomas | Thursday, December 8, 2022

Ladies and gentlemen, kids of all ages, we’re back with the Observer Spotify (and other music platforms) Wrapped. Our team of student journalists, frequently found at major campus events or hunkered in our office in the basement of South Dining Hall, listen to a lot of music. Maybe even more music than the average listener,

22. ‘Cave World’ by Viagra Boys “Cave World” is the third LP of punk rock band Viagra Boys, and it expands upon what made their previous records so great. The album is absolutely soaked in meta-irony and absurdist humor. Viagra Boys are simultaneously drawn to and repelled by the eclectic world of conspiracy theories, incels

Swifties react to Ticketmaster site fiasco

Peter Breen | Wednesday, November 30, 2022

“A surge in activity on any IT service can cause it to be unavailable to some or all of the people trying to access it,” Tracy Weber, office of information technologies (OIT) assistant vice president, told the Observer. Taylor Swift fans across the tri-campus helped generate the 3.5 billion system requests on Ticketmaster’s website on

A controversial column

Bella Laufenberg | Monday, November 7, 2022

An inside column can be many things: Funny, cliche, informational, emotional, controversial or otherwise. When I realized (a bit too late) that I had an inside column due this Sunday, I had a decision to make.   I’ve already covered funny-ish when I told the campus that I was using Taylor Swift’s Red to recover from

Dear reader, Taylor Swift has triumphed once again

Ashley Hedge | Thursday, October 27, 2022

Taylor Swift has done it once again. Anticipation over the singer’s 10th album release has only built since its announcement at the 2022 VMA Awards. Part of that anticipation is largely due to the lack of a single being released prior to the album drop date. Audiences were unsure what to expect from Swift, especially

Why I ‘worship’ Taylor Swift

Isabelle Kause | Thursday, October 6, 2022

When Taylor Swift first rose to fame, her flocks of fans, passionately known as Swifties, formed shortly thereafter. As a proud member of this group, I can attest to the personal benefit it brought to my own life. After that first Taylor Swift concert I experienced years ago, my mom bought me a bracelet to

Fall 2018 — “Mo Bamba” vs. “Sicko Mode” “Alexa! Play ‘Mo Bamba.’” “No, Alexa! Play ‘Sicko Mode!’” “Alexa, stop! Play ‘Mo Bamba!’” “Grrr. Alexa!” March 25, 2019 — The leggings problem A Notre Dame mother is concerned about leggings and literal protests ensue. And memes — so many memes. Apr. 15, 2019 — Notre Dame

Deck the halls

Adriana Perez | Friday, May 13, 2022

“Soon they’ll have the nerve to deck the halls / that we once walked through.” With graduation on the horizon, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this line in Taylor Swift’s “champagne problems.” I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the impermanence, the evanescence of our stay here on campus. I haven’t

Dolby Atmos: #SwiftTok and sonic immersion

Adriana Perez | Wednesday, March 23, 2022

If you’re on #SwiftTok (the Taylor Swift side of TikTok), chances are you’ve probably heard her songs being played through Dolby Atmos. Some of these sounds have produced hilarious results, with music cut off in comical places and fragmented, echoing vocals. But, you may also have wondered, what the heck is Dolby Atmos? I personally

The sound of Beach House’s ‘Once Twice Melody’

John Clark | Thursday, February 24, 2022

Considering the fact that my music taste is dominated by white rock music, it always surprises me when I remember that I got into Beach House via Kendrick Lamar. On the song “Money Trees” from his 2012 album “Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City,” Kendrick sampled Beach House’s “Silver Soul” from their 2010 breakthrough album “Teen Dream.”

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
