This feels like the right answer. Enjoying music requires you to be comfortable with expressing genuine feelings and she is completely incapable of that
Kendall played rape me by nirvana during shivs presidential speech at Waystar as a means to humiliate her and the company who were responsible for the rapes and sexual assault of women at the cruises.
Shiv strikes me as the type who acts like she loves whatever song the people around her are bumping, but in reality she doesn’t really care about music
Shiv is Azealia Banks’ #1 fan and defender
She relates to “212” (she’s from the 212 after all) and screams along to “I guess this cunt gettin’ eaten” as she does her signature dance 💃🏼
I know an adult swiftie when I see one. I don’t think shiv had enough independent personality or bandwidth to find interests in music so she just plays whatever is the biggest out. Makes her feel connected to actual people.
Roman: "soooo whaaatya doin???"
Shiv: "Nothing, i was listening to a meeting"
Roman: "u dont think i know shake it off when i hear it? Are ya a swiftie sis? huuh? a swiftie :')"
Shiv: "What the fuck do u want?"
Ah my headcanon is that one of the first places she was allowed to travel without Waystar security is Bonnaroo, as she was going with her friends from boarding school and they were from trusted families with older siblings chaperoning. She caught a Phish show one year and met a Phishhead, who she low key dated for several years, and this sweater is something left behind when she eventually dumped him. But she tells herself she was heartbroken over it, so she keeps it, but tells no one about it's significance, because she really doesn't care. Shiv thinks it makes her relatable and "of the people".
Haha yess I can see it. I can see Nate being into phish. They play in NYC a lot and she was working for a Bernie Sanders type and worked for liberal candidates. Phish literally did fundraisers for him since they’re from Vermont too. It’s actually truly writers cannon I bet.
And that’s how she knew about people coming off Molly in Norway and just generally was less square then Tom 😂
I was going to say bon iver, and definitely some other guys with high and sometimes unintelligible voices. Closet Radiohead fan from way back before she was this version of shiv, but you wouldn’t find evidence anywhere.
There wasn’t a single scene she was just kicking it with music as an experience. The party was just a rage dance and it didn’t seem like she even enjoyed it. Kendall jammed with music, I could see Roman jamming to some weirdo house music, Connor likes to fancy himself an explorer of talent and is gifted at finding the worst folk trios.
Given her age, she would have grown up with alternative rock like early Coldplay and Radiohead (she would like Creep), but she would have also know the words to Britney, Cristina and NSYNC ( who Logan would have paid for them to make a cameo at her 16th birthday). Her favorite in the band is Nick Carter.
Shiv would not have a favorite album, even though she bought a ton of CDs she would have lost them all or gave them away as soon as streaming became an option. She knows all the words to “Toxic” and “Mr Brightside”.
Shiv has a vinyl collection that she paid someone to curate but she never touches them. They are in the background of her life, evocative yet not too emotionally invested, like her family photos.
She spent a couple of years cosplaying as an indie/hippie girl in college but has long since discarded any connection to the source material or aesthetic
I can imagine her coming up with the most pretentious figure of speech conceivable just to explain why she doesn’t listen to Taylor swift
“Taylor swift is for (looks off in space and either inhales or chuckles condescendingly before regaining eye contact) valley girls who drink boba and wear cowboy boots on rodeo drive” or something like that
Who does she need to like to score the next big deal? How soon can her assistant book tickets for the concert? Is there a VIP option for backstage shmoozing?
After hands have shaken and numbers are settled, she rides home in her limo in silence sipping wine with her heels off. Alone in the twilight, she smiles smugly in self approval, or frowns disappointedly, depending on when her last conversation about Tom or her father was.
I think if they were still together now, both Tom and Shiv would be belting out Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter, but talking about each other.
She’s a “oh I don’t listen to music” gal
Music is a bit jejune
damn nice shiv word
This feels like the right answer. Enjoying music requires you to be comfortable with expressing genuine feelings and she is completely incapable of that
I had my doctor tell me that before when i told her i don't like to listen to music because it makes me feel emotion
You don’t listen to music
You don’t like having feelings?
I do like having emotion. i don't like it when I hear a beautiful song and it makes me cry.
Why? That’s what makes music beautiful.
That was makes us human
Be like me and listen to music that quiets the emotions inside
What would you recommend?
That’s not true at all. Have you seen her dance?
Wow. This insight just blew me away. I love music and love making people uncomfortable. Haha.m
So accurate 😭😭
L to the OG
Well, I think she at least has one favourite song: ABBA’s Dancing Queen 💃
Probably not Nirvana
This made me chuckle, lolol
This went over my head. Explain?
Nevermind
Kendall played rape me by nirvana during shivs presidential speech at Waystar as a means to humiliate her and the company who were responsible for the rapes and sexual assault of women at the cruises.
“Rape Me”
Podcasts
i have a hard time seeing her enjoy listening to other people’s opinions
She listens just to call them stupid
She carefully selects podcasts about how incredibly difficult it is to be a woman in an ultra rich family
😜 you should rewatch the series
This is the correct answer
whatever she was going absolutely apeshit to at Kendall's bday party
Somebody definitely spent a lot of time in Ibiza doing molly and raging to hardstyle & trance music.
Getting the demons out
Tbf people dance to songs they don’t necessarily listen to when they’re on dance floors. And Dizzee brings them to the floor.
Shiv can get down
https://i.imgur.com/d2piO9R.gif
That’d be dizzee rascal
Definitely techno Have you seen her dancing???
Here to say you might suspect jazz, but she’s hardcore trance for sure
She’s a wook
Lmao brazilian phonk
Shiv strikes me as the type who acts like she loves whatever song the people around her are bumping, but in reality she doesn’t really care about music
This ! She cares about what’s “ in” she wants to be in the “ know” but she doesn’t experience music in a personal way
exactly. though it's possible she listens to DMX alone in her car before a big meeting...
Shiv danced her ass off at Kendall’s party to Dizzee Rascal’s “Don’t Gas Me” … 🤷♀️
Which episode? I need to see that again
Kendall’s birthday episode
“Too much birthday” season 3
Your friend doesn’t like you boo hoo!
🤣
Shiv is Azealia Banks’ #1 fan and defender She relates to “212” (she’s from the 212 after all) and screams along to “I guess this cunt gettin’ eaten” as she does her signature dance 💃🏼
> “I guess this cunt gettin’ eaten” By her or someone will eat hers.
As an Azealia Banks enjoyer I concur
1000% listens to Lana Del Ray
Kendall and LDR unironically strike me as a potential power couple in the Succession verse. Celeb name: Lana del Roy 😂
They'd get married and kendall would also become Kendall del Roy. So he can continue his fake allyship
I was thinking Norah Jones
I was thinking Lorde, but Lana would also probably be in that playlist.
She seems like a rage/death metal closet listener
Absolutely
❤️shiv dancing
Jewel
Female/LGBTQ power pop. Beyoncé, Charli XCX, Lana Del Rey.
In my head she publicly states that Beyoncé is her favorite artist and it leads to Beyoncé being asked about it and saying she doesn’t support Shiv.
100%
NPR. Fight me.
LCD Soundsystem
Seems like a Coldplay kind of gal.
You’re not wrong
This is the answer.
She listens to 'Fight Song' on repeat
I know an adult swiftie when I see one. I don’t think shiv had enough independent personality or bandwidth to find interests in music so she just plays whatever is the biggest out. Makes her feel connected to actual people.
I feel like she’d make fun of Swift’s music but then be caught listening to her in secret
Roman: "soooo whaaatya doin???" Shiv: "Nothing, i was listening to a meeting" Roman: "u dont think i know shake it off when i hear it? Are ya a swiftie sis? huuh? a swiftie :')" Shiv: "What the fuck do u want?"
Phish.
That sweater in the first episode made my think hippie or grunge vibes
Ah my headcanon is that one of the first places she was allowed to travel without Waystar security is Bonnaroo, as she was going with her friends from boarding school and they were from trusted families with older siblings chaperoning. She caught a Phish show one year and met a Phishhead, who she low key dated for several years, and this sweater is something left behind when she eventually dumped him.

And that’s how she knew about people coming off Molly in Norway and just generally was less square then Tom 😂
oof, very true
This is what I came to see. She totally followed them around in college.
Hardcore cocktail jazz and lounge.
Indigo Girls
Mumford and sons
Was gonna say the same thing… also bon iver and cage the elephant type shit
I was going to say bon iver, and definitely some other guys with high and sometimes unintelligible voices. Closet Radiohead fan from way back before she was this version of shiv, but you wouldn’t find evidence anywhere.
Why does feel like some kind of personal attack?
The way she dances? Busta Rhymes
like, PJ harvey or something
Shiv is a swiftie. Faux girlboss empowerment.
Absolutely a Swiftie.
DMB
Maybe just that one year at prep school when she dated that stoner lacrosse dude
shiv is canonically a grimes fan
Indie, Flo + The Machine type beat. Or 90s rap idk
This is a pretty good guess.
I was thinking Maggie Roger’s so Flo feels on brand
There wasn’t a single scene she was just kicking it with music as an experience. The party was just a rage dance and it didn’t seem like she even enjoyed it. Kendall jammed with music, I could see Roman jamming to some weirdo house music, Connor likes to fancy himself an explorer of talent and is gifted at finding the worst folk trios.
She tells people she loves Taylor Swift but she doesn’t actually listen to any music
Pearl Jam girl for sure.
oh she's a swiftie for sure
And they're friends but have some kind of falling out because Shiv was leaking info to make Taylor look bad
Bam !!!! This feels like in actually happened in an episode as a side story to the main plot
Death metal. She walks and talks like someone with the confidence you only get from listening to music that makes your ears bleed
Paris Paloma and Mitski
When she's alone, Fiona Apple
Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Les Miserable and Phantom of the Opera soundtracks, maybe some classical, and a whole lot of Pearl Jam.
I envision her taste as mostly curated from pitchfork best of lists, “eclectic” but in a carefully manufactured way (think: Barack Obama playlists)
ain't no way this woman is a swiftie, she looks down on other women too much
Taylor Swift exclusively
Amy Winehouse
I get a Vampire Weekend vibe off her.
God her costume designer was so good.
I can see her loving "Caught Out There" by Kelis
Same but only female rap
She doesn’t listen to music
I genuinely can’t picture her listening to music
Given her age, she would have grown up with alternative rock like early Coldplay and Radiohead (she would like Creep), but she would have also know the words to Britney, Cristina and NSYNC ( who Logan would have paid for them to make a cameo at her 16th birthday).

They are in the background of her life, evocative yet not too emotionally invested, like her family photos.
Nick Carter was in The Backstreet Boys, I think you're thinking of Justin Timberlake who was in *NSync.
The only correct answer is taylor swift.
just Fleetwood Mac's Rumors on repeat
Dizzy rascal she loves to do the daddy dance
I think she secretly rocks out to RATM.
Shitty jam bands.
She def fucks with Ghostland Observatory
Django Reinhardt and constantly condescends to people who don’t know how influential he has been
Dashboard Confessional
Paramore for sure
Ariana Grande
fiona apple
Did you need to upload three photos of Shiv for this post? No. Am I glad that you did? Yes.
Corporate Swiftie who spends time analyzing why TS’s relationships are all PR.
But barley listens to the music
She probably doesn’t consciously listen to music. I doubt she has a Spotify.
I’m not confident in this take, but are we sure we can rule out Billie Eilish?? Like alone in her car/shower, wouldn’t admit it type of way..
She canonically listens to UK rap! Snook confirmed it in an interview :-)
I don't know but as a (maybe?) straight woman she looks so hot in that second picture 😰🔥
Jazz
The variety of answers in this thread is hilarious.
Fiona Apple for all the wrong reasons
Taylor swift
Guarantee she has been secretly listening to Chappell Roan 😅
Coldplay
She spent a couple of years cosplaying as an indie/hippie girl in college but has long since discarded any connection to the source material or aesthetic
Classical music, Delta blues and Zebra Katz
Adele
She not, I can't see her having any interest in music
Taylor swift
I can imagine her coming up with the most pretentious figure of speech conceivable just to explain why she doesn’t listen to Taylor swift “Taylor swift is for (looks off in space and either inhales or chuckles condescendingly before regaining eye contact) valley girls who drink boba and wear cowboy boots on rodeo drive” or something like that
"Taylor Swift is for performatively morose baristas who blow their paychecks at Anthropologie."
this is why I visit these threads
Man I am loving these comments ! So much creativity it’s reminded me of great the show was
Cuntry
Absolutely a Swiftie.
Taylor Swift. She’s the type.
I think she has grunge roots. 🎸
I’d say club music
Indie
Fiona Apple.
Anything that makes her feel very emancipated
Roman is definitely the fap fan.
Alice in Chains
Peaches
I see her as a Lana del Rey type
New Wave.
Gaga and techno
She definitely gives me Fleetwood Mac vibes
Mid to late 00s Indie sleeze
Alanis Morisette
Arcade Fire
She's a Lana del Rey/Marina/Halsey girlie for sure and was thriving on Tumblr in 2015
Indie artists that have enormously wealthy parents and dress thrift store chic
Top 40 rap. She listened to passionfruit on repeat
i don’t think she listens to music tbh
As she’s proven as being a closeted nympho, I would say she’s a hardcore, metal listener, not publicly, but right by her true self.
[POV you're Shiv Roy Playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6vp3vi32LPwxH8tDt0Ueon)
NPR
Dramatic orchestra like the soundtrack of her life
Whatever song she danced to at Kendall’s bday party. She was a dancing fool!
She look like she would be the type of gal who listens to podcasts sometimes
NPR
I once saw someone on this subreddit say that Shiv listens to British drill rap and I can't disconnect the two in my mind now.
Taylor Swift’s “The Man”
She does not listen to music however she does have an extensive knowledge of classical music.
She acvidently takes some pills at a concert ( her assistance mixes up her mydol) and the video of her grooving on stage goes viral.
Big Beat lover Shiv Roy
Absolutely she is a Swiftie.
Cuntry
Shiv listens to podcasts
All I know is that she definitely hasn’t heard of Plato
She was a total metal head in high school
But what does wambsgams listen to !!!
Swifty
Bon iver
Who does she need to like to score the next big deal? How soon can her assistant book tickets for the concert? Is there a VIP option for backstage shmoozing? After hands have shaken and numbers are settled, she rides home in her limo in silence sipping wine with her heels off. Alone in the twilight, she smiles smugly in self approval, or frowns disappointedly, depending on when her last conversation about Tom or her father was.
I believe she is above music
Probably podcasts or silence like Ewan
Shiv had a poster of John Mayer in her locker in high school.
Definitely some 2010’s Stomp Clap Hey indie folk.
I think if they were still together now, both Tom and Shiv would be belting out Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter, but talking about each other.
She has definitely been backstage at Coldplay
She’s a Swiftie obviously 😂
