they think that US is the world, when there's Europe, South/Latin America, that Asia is only China and Philippines lol, Oceania.

Are you actually implying Taylor isn’t massive in any other Asian countries or Oceania

I would rather throw myself off a cliff than "be a Larry" for the record. I literally said I think Olivia Wilde is a goddess, literally while replying to you, like, a few hours ago.

I may be extra but I'm not insane.

 

Now go back to talking to yourself, I guess.

In fact, TS doesn’t have a single project with a song as big as Easy on Me, not for lack of trying though. 

Idk about that Taylor has some massive singles

Of course you would quote a post and edit out facts that don’t align with your reality. 30 being  “Bigger. folklore doesn’t have an Easy on Me” just had to be erased from your post? Miss Adkins really has you in a headlock  
Your triggers are predictable as ever, and Easy on Me being far bigger than any swift song is one of them.

I only kept the part I was responding to, which you just reiterated again 

Folklore not "having" an Easy On Me is something I couldn't care less about. You assertion that Easy On Me is bigger than every Taylor song is just laughable 

 

It seems your trigger of anything Taylor related hasn't waned though, you really can't get past Solar Power completely tanking and all of your pretentious posts getting handed back to you huh

I know your fave is a bully and this was supposed to be a drag, but sadly you are terrible at emulating her ?.
Unlike you, most ATRL members:  a) stan multiple artists, and b) don’t stan “success”. 

I don’t expect a Swiftie to understand quality and diversity, though. Your ilk is more cult than fanbase.

easy on me is quite literally bigger than any Taylor song. In fact, all my favorite artists have songs bigger than Taylor’s entire catalogue. Most popstars do. 

 

I would say be proud your cult is only second to BTS, but you won’t accept number 2 in anything.

Good thing I was referring to acclaim, the one thing Lorde stans could fall back on, because you can't stand that you were proven wrong deep down that your favorite artists aren't "better" than Taylor in the one thing you could use against her.

See, you keep saying this, and yet, it still isn't true. Which is strange, because it makes your entire post seem like that of a troll, yet you try to come across like a holier than thou stan of ~artistes~.

It's also interesting that you bring up cults, because I would argue that the OTHs you run around with fall more into that category. Shared delusions, united by fear and hatred, retreating to your dark and dreary corners when confronted with reason and objective truths.

Here are actual signs of a cult, since you completely missed the real definition in your failed defense: 

- Us VS them mentality

- Group claims special exhalted status for its leader + fellow members

- Members devote inordinate amount of time to leader

- Unquestioning commitment to leader, their belief system, ideology, and works

- Most dedicated members feel there is no life outside the group and it's leader

- The leader is the ultimate authority   

- You are not allowed to criticize your leader, even if the criticism is true.

- The group/ leader is always right
- Leader possesses absolute supremacy without meaningful accountability

- Criticism or questioning of the leader is considered persecution

 

Now you know some actual cult signifiers. ATRL users with nothing in common but a propensity for calling out your delusions, your gaslighting, and your belligerent attempts at bullying, do not a “cult” make. That’s your warped brainwashed mind protecting you from yourself.  You see people commenting on your God Taylor and become incredulous. You try, yet fail, to project your own groups extremist dogma on people who are simply proving how unhinged you come across. 

 

Just know you can leave, there are rehabs and support apparatus set up for survivors. there is life after the cult.

Didn't Adele hog up the vinyl factories for MONTHS to do millions of copies for "30" only for the album to basically underperform? Those vinyls are going to be discounted through the roof in time because of so many that haven't sold  My Walmart is PACKED

Off topic: Taylor Swift was my #2 most streamed artist last year, before I get lashed, btw.

 

Why were her stans clinging to that IFPI chart for dear life to counter the fact that, indeed, Taylor does surge in those Artist rankings because of her catalogue? She only went #1 there in 2019 because it was the last time they didn't count streaming. Taylor wasn't the biggest artist that year, not even biggest female when Billie and Ariana were peaking at the same time.

 

On topic: I absolutely adore most of Taylor's music but her fanbase is very insecure and entitled, it's been showing for almost a decade now.

This is incorrect. IFPI Top Global Recording Artist does include streaming since its first debut in 2014

Funny, because this fits you to a T with how you reacted when confronted that you were wrong about Lorde 

 

Notice how you have now created a straw man to move past your incredulous assertion that Taylor doesn’t have a song as big as Easy On Me
