- Pre-listed for aged best: stars get a finite number of chances to win back the public; Britney Spears had a limited comeback tour after her 2007 breakdown, and in 2020 it keeps happening, e.g. Demi Lovato.
- The Britney Spears-type premise of an unraveling star whose team pushes her to stay famous.
- The line "Who's your idol? Kelly Canter and Jesus Christ," delivered by Meester.
- The speaker's wife's pick: nobody is better than Gwyneth at crying and talking at the same time; the other example offered was The Talented Mr. Ripley.
- Kelly's death easing into the "Timing Is Everything" song with the hospital scene really works.
- A fan interviewed before the Dallas concert says she has hit rock bottom and sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to realize what you have, an idea never explored again.
- Country music's crossover with celebrity has aged well: Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, country artists hanging out with the Kardashians and treated as general celebrities, Stagecoach and Bachelor Nation; Taylor Swift paved the way starting in 2010.
- Tim McGraw's side-of-stage "so psyched she's killing it" half-smile face; he has one face in this movie.
