Zadie Smith Can Sing

You’re better off just going back to bed

I am guessing you were probably not at this cool party at The Carlyle Hotel the other night, celebrating T Magazine’s special issue “The Greats” (Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga, Junya Watanabe, Kerry James Marshall, Massimo Bottura, Zadie Smith, and William Eggleston), which means you didn’t get to hear Zadie Smith stand up at Bemelman’s Bar and casually drop a Boz Scaggs song (“Easy Living”) like it was nbd. In that case, please enjoy the following:

Happy Friday, you’ll never be this great! Just kidding, you’re okay. You’re doing fine, really, but it’s not like your fifth novel is coming out next month and your stunning face is gracing one of the seven covers of T Magazine alongside Michelle Obama… Also hey guess what the internet is down. I don’t even know how you’re reading this. You have my permission to go back to bed.
