iamanearthling Posted Thursday at 03:43 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:43 PM Cause SL is dated. YBWM has aged far better like the rest of her discography. Link to post Share on other sites

SeeingStars1515 Posted Thursday at 03:55 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:55 PM Coming from someone who grew up with these two songs - SL by far. YBLM was a great catalyst for Taylor's career and has a nostalgic element but it wasnt anything other than a strong single. SL was a cultural phenomenon during its time. Her performances of SL were by far better than anything Taylor has ever done live lol. Link to post Share on other sites
LoveInStereo Posted Thursday at 04:12 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:12 PM (edited) I like TS more than Bey but that's a boldfaced lie. SL's cultural impact was & still is off the charts. YBWM hasn't been part of the public conscience since the year it came out. You guys are so fickle. Wait till the hype dies down Edited Thursday at 04:14 PM by LoveInStereo Link to post Share on other sites
allforyou Posted Thursday at 04:17 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:17 PM In the US maybe, Singles Ladies was a worldwide smash meanwhile You Belong With Me flopped outside of NA, I didn't even know that song existed until like 2017 Link to post Share on other sites

superben Posted Thursday at 04:38 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:38 PM SL was just more meme-y back in the days. It's kinda forgotten now. YBWM gets the recurrent streams. Link to post Share on other sites

YBWM deserves a lot of things, a VMA over Single Ladies it did not. Current upload of SL is from 2009. It absolutely did not have 900m views in 08-09. Link to post Share on other sites
