Always found it weird Taylor doesn’t tour Asia more considering how popular she is there. Like girl add some Philippines dates in there!!

Touring Asia is apparently very expensive, and Taylor is cheap

Not the projection coming out with you saying "disillusion" instead of "delusion"

 

Not the fact that you missed the quotations

Yeah I’m noticing less and less Asia dates on tours in general

Do you think her fanbase alone is big enough to give her more daily streams than any other female artist for years now?

A fanbase bigger than the GP. Isn't that the GP?

Not just bigger, she doubles the next closest female artists' numbers 

Indeed, the Swifties are bigger than the GP

Exactly. You could add up #2 and #3 and the number would still be smaller

From what I've seen, the bigger you get, the more expensive it gets because your stages and production gets bigger, and shipping that all around Asia is much harder than in other places like the US or Europe.

 

Coldplay and Ed Sheeran seem to be the exception in that they seem willing to biting the cost. If only Taylor would join them, she could do like two whole months of stadium shows in Asia

Not you running out of arguments so are now resorting to your usual M.O. of baseline level trolling

 

[PoisonPill]

Because nothing actually happened to make an "event." A random tracking chart was updated.

Not you so pressed that your responding to multiple posts from other users in this thread

 

[byzantium]

It’s because we all knew this was coming.  

[Ms. Togekiss]

OP is a known OTH that does not care about being delusional as long as he gets to “dunk” on Taylor even tho it always fails and he keeps fuming over her unparalleled success

You’re the OP

The streaming excuses as if Taylor was gaining that much from streaming until literally 5 years and 1 month ago, which was during the tenth anniversary of her stomping...

[tshwark]

Because if you look at Mariah's pure sales that charade is just ridiculous.

[1989]

It’s not an official announcement yet, but if atrl is already fuming this hard, wait until Billboard finally reports it. 

[SwiftLover]

An Earth shaking event for some ATRL users

[4Real]

Only (some) stans care about this

. 

Major news outlet cannot publish anything base on a chart account.

The moment Billboard release that article will be an event. The fumes, the drag will be hilarious.

But im glad public perception of Taylor is getting better now especially amongst gen z, i saw various tik tok with content "growing up is realizing Taylor Swift is actually good". Like after all the drama and tabloids, the girl have talent to back it up so in time people will start to appreciate her music

[Cloröx]

Eventful enough to make OTH pressed just to make this thread 

[305]

Oh it's you again making another thread about Taylor.

 

What do you want anyone to do? Throw a party? A festival? Merch? Nobody cares about these stats outside of chart people. Still an incredible achievement to be added to her already lengthy list

This. What kind of “event” was supposed to happen?  Was this supposed to be covered on the news? Were there supposed to be parades? 

 

The people who cared, people who follow these stan achievements, noticed. No one else in the real world knows or cares about these kinds of things.

[Mandalay]

Funny there are not many Mariah stans in this thread although it is Mimi-related. Guess we've grown older 

[fauxtography]

Because no one cares about these accomplishments outside stan internet.   They're only good for weird tv spots and introductions where the botox'd host of good morning america says "(artist x) With 3294989 billboard entries and 32948 days at the chart and 4935834 records sold - is in the studio today with us to talk about (insert project)"

Like others have said it hasn’t been official 

 

And we all know she will get dragged but that’s only because Mariah is a legendary singer

 

And the real problem here is that people still put singers over songwriters, and it’s not okay.

 

Taylor is a songwriter, and she’s as good as a songwriter as Mariah was with vocals, so I hope she gets the respect longterm

 

Storytellers can be even more important than singers

 

 

You write this like Mariah isn't a songwriter.

 

She's written all her non-cover hits

Because Mariah hasn’t been relevant since 2008.

That's funny... especially since she's had a couple of hit singles in the United States since 2008... like Obsessed or #Beautiful and even had a #1 single in the past 4 (!) years, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022.
