Well it's a good thing that (barring album bombs) this hasn't been the case for almost 2 years straight 

They hate to hear it 

[naval23]

I think it's a combination of things:

 

Adele got the IFPI #1 global album in 6 weeks of sales while Taylor hasn't achieved an IFPI global #1 album yet. 

 

Adele had multiple global #1 smash in 20+ countries including Hello and Easy On Me while Taylor hasn't had a global hit since "Shake It Off"

 

Adele's 30 era only lasted 6 months but it's on par with Taylor's most recent biggest eras such as Folklore on a WW basis and the Folklore era was a huge win for them (they don't make references to evermore for obvious reasons)

Ignoring the rest since it’s inaccurate, I promise you that Swifties do not think about the IFPI album shipments chart.

so why attack Adele? why not attack the real fave of that user?

 

misplaced anger

like the most recent one thread by a swiftie: Adele took 6 years to write 30, when she was only 30 three years ago  

 

 

not to mention, SWIFTIES been making Adele threads like they dont have nothing to talk about their fave

 

https://atrl.net/search/?q=adele&quick=1&search_in=titles

 

isnt a 123456789x albums and rerecording not enough to keep them busy and just talk create threads about Adele most of the time?

still looking for Daydreamers creating a taylor thread to justify what they're doing.

Creating Adele threads is the same as lashing out at all those members, regardless of who their real faves were 

[Never Ending]

I mean in general why "stans" are so pressed and personally offended over their fave music artists, to the point where they heatedly drag or defend them, is beyond me, but here we are

That’s… literally not what that user said I’m crying  the way Swifties feel the need to defend their fave 24/7 and make everything about her

They said if 30 is a flop then so is every Taylor album after 1989. How are we making everything about her when she's literally the main topic of the thread?

[suburbannature]

It serves Mariah/Madonna fan feud. They're both huge and fans are way too insecure.

[KOMH]

It's because stans of less popular artists chose her to shelter behind, thinking she's some sort of untouchable sales behemoth, only for 30's performance to give them a reality check.

[Reflektor_Creep]

They did the same with Ariana.  Some swifties are very strange and seem to have the minds of insecure teenagers.

Literally none of this is true. You guys live on a different planet.

The karma if Taylors next album is like 30. 

[Arrows]

Let’s say Taylor smashes with a single in her next era, what will the new OTH narrative be?

Well, fans of lesser artists have been used Adele and the “Tsunami” 30 for trying to attack Taylor, so now Swifties are just making fun of the situation, reverse card I guess.

 

A good lesson for all stans, Taylor always prevails 

1. If this was true you wouldn't do this same thing to other artists, but you do. You come for anyone who's ever had better metrics than Taylor in anything. You're just more pressed at Adele because you lived under her shadow basically the entire time Taylor was a major seller in the game. It's a lot of pent-up energy, I guess.

 

2. Like another user said, if "hiding behind Adele" was the problem, you could just... drag the person hiding behind her/the artist they stan. Why come for Adele who did nothing? Her stans for the most part never really bragged much and they're getting the brunt of your hatred "because other stans" doesn't seem fair to me (aside from the fact that it's just not true).

 

3. A lot of people don't need to "hide behind Adele" anyway, since multiple of our faves are currently outselling Taylor. They'll never have her career, but who cares? They'll also likely never have Katy Perry's or Gaga's career and that never stopped anyone from saying that their faves outsold them.

 

Tl;dr you're excusing your anger towards Adele being lauded as the biggest female artist on top of Taylor basically her entire career by blaming other stans and it's a bunch of nonsense.

[Gerardo]

1) fan bases always dislike or attack artists that are the their fav’s competition, it’s really common 

2) Adele was being being used a a token fav to drag Taylor so now Swifties drag her 

3) Swifties don’t like people who can sing for some reason

You should stop pushing this tired narrative when it comes to best selling solo artist of 2019, 2020 and 2021. 

Neither Katy or Gaga is at the top of IFPI list(or top10) so your "their careers in past" point literally contradicts itself.

"why drag adele and not their real faves?"

 

cuz it's boring, Taylor is running circles around Dua, Katy, etc. at least the comparisons to Adele are more interesting since both are on a similar playing field

 

 

[gatito]

remember when y’all tried to make it seem like Taylor was scared of 30? when she was simply being a good sport and now Red TV is outlasting Adele’s album

[Toxicity.]

Wasn’t the “Taylor moves Red TV release date” thread like 30 pages of fake Adele stannings to drag Taylor?

My point was that Harry, Olivia, Abel, Dua, Billie, Drake, Ed, are all outselling Taylor right now, so why would we need to hide behind Adele? Makes no sense 

They might not have Taylor's career, but they're outselling her, and we can easily point that out without having to drag another artist we don't stan if we want to win an argument. Even if our faves don't have (and never will have) Taylor's career, they're still outselling her now. Just like Olivia Rodrigo stans can tell Gaga fans that their fave is outselling theirs, even if they know Olivia will never reach Gaga's peak and overall career.

 

Is that clear? Do you need a drawing?

But she was, she was scared of 30. And if she had released Red TV the same day as 30 she wouldn't have been #1.

 

Red TV first week: 605,000

30 first week: 839,000

 

30's underperformance doesn't change the fact that it would've obliterated any chance of Red seeing the #1 in basically every chart around the world. What is this revisionist history?

Which would be true, unlike your claim.
