- Max attention for the album launch: By concentrating appearances on two big NBC shows, she ensures the spotlight is tight and consistent across high-viewership late night platforms.
- Signal about Kimmel: Skipping Jimmy Kimmel might be interpreted as a deliberate choice โ whether over scheduling, branding, or perceived controversies tied to his recent suspension.
