Critically, YES.
Commercially, maybe.

[Eric.]

She's still very young and I personally feel she has yet a lot to give. I think she's able to outdo herself.

I don't know why, but I'm a bit worried about Taylor's 4th album sales. After the Bieber fiasco, I don't know how Taylor is going to do. Maybe everybody is going to be overpredicted - I believe, by the general public. At least, she's going to benefit from the Christmas release. But when everybody thought it would be easy for Bieber to crack 600k, he may not even hit 400k. That's a disappointment, for me, even though it's still great sales. A bit of nonsense comparison, but they have similar opening week sales - at least, digital sales. I think she has a big shot at outdoing herself critically, but commercially, she set the bar very high.

I'm pretty sure her sales will not disappoint. But either way, she sold a lot with 3 albums and at 21 she's one of the best selling females of the new generation. I'm really excited for her new material. I'm just so sure it will be groundbreaking and shocking.

I think Taylor has a much wider audience than Justin does so they're not that comparable

[Lyzz the Monster]

She isn't called America's Sweetheart for no reasons. I've met a lot of her fans who are in totally different age groups, she has the crossover appeal, and Taylor's fanbase seems to be a lot less fickle than a teen phenomenon's.

I thought you meant if she will ever sing better than kelly clarkson.

Oh

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

Not commercially, I don't think.

That is correct. Country still claims her...and they are big album buyers.

Yep, another valid point. Fearless had a bigger opening than what Boyfriend will debut with, even though Taylor wasn't as big as Justin is now. Not trying to undermine Justin's success in any way(). 400k is better than most of the pop acts these days.

Why are you so sensitive? I wasn't shading taylor in any way. The first thing that pop up in my head when i saw the title of the thread was about taylor and kelly again.

I didn't report you, if that's what you're wondering. I just thought it was hilarious.

[Safe&Sound]

Taylor tries to do more cross-over by working with Ed, FTP
I know she tries to attract new fans, pop-country-alternative, but what we should worry is most of her old fans won't like it, and only few ppl who'll be attracted by her attempt
If she succeeds, she might be the biggest cross-over queen, and so many praises and achievements which probably make her outdo herself

Imo, she can

[Taylor fanboy]

SALES is easy. Proper hype & promotion (better single choices & treatment)

CRITICAL ACCLAIM - You mean, outdo FEARLESS in awards? (Quality is assured) the album needs to be undeniably country (Speak Now )

Has she peaked? Maybe, because she's getting a little too boring imo. Her marketing has not been so stellar to outdo Fearless in terms of sales & impact.

No two grammys can come even close to You Belong With Me's throne.

[alkralkra]

Maybe she could outdo SN commercially, I don't see her next releases outselling TS or Fearless.

[Bahjat]

With an album that has different collabs and producers , I think that she can .
She needs to focus more on promoting WW and I think that she knows that since she's collaborating with Ed who has the UK .
Also with the new promotion deal and the THG tracks .

Only time will tell though .

[rrr13rcc]

Critical acclaim, yes.
Awards, no.
Sales, maybe.

[Lyzz the Monster]

It's confirmed that Taylor will release an album in 4th quarter right?

Please, there's NO way she would have sold 1 million in 1 week with Speak Now if it was only for teenage girls
