The following phrase is in the Cambridge English book:
...but what made her notorius was her reviews.
Why is "was" used instead of "were"? Reviews is a plural form of a work "review".
Another question: Do we have a corresponding idiom in English for the phrase - purkaa sydäntä?
Thanks

1.
"...but what made her notorius was her reviews."
The subject here is the pharse "but what made her notorius", which is interpreted as singular.
2.
maybe " to get sth off your chest", or "to unburden one's heart"
But her reviews were what made her notorious.
But what made here notorious was her reviews.
But is it incorrect to say "but what made her notorious were her reviews"? Doesn't sound wrong at all..
