So, How Was Your 2020? is a series in which our favorite entertainers answer our questionnaire about the music, culture and memorable moments that shaped their year. We’ll be rolling these pieces out throughout December.

Tori Amos was scheduled to go on a book tour during the spring timed to the release of her bestselling memoir Resistance: A Songwriter’s Story of Hope, Change, and Courage, which came out this past May. In fact, the book offered great insight and guidance to many fans — with its message that “we can out-create the destructiveness that is all around us” — as thousands took to the streets during the pandemic to advocate for police reform and as part of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The singer-songwriter also released four-song holiday EP, Christmastide, this month via Decca Records that includes illustrations by graphic artist Rantz Hosely, along with a special Christmas card and message from Amos. Here, she shares her love of vegan cooking, her favorite books, movies, and music alongside the things that shaped this very weird 2020.

The album I listened to the most in 2020 was:
Reviewing the Beatles catalogue.

My favorite TV show to stream during quarantine was:
