It's astronomical. Only the very biggest albums of the year in UK are going Platinum lately

Taylor is the american Adele confirmed.

[Katamari]

i dont remember the beatles reissue ever going number one but this is still good  

 

2 legends 

[Ms. Togekiss]

2 cassettes 

[IBeMe]

this is literally shaping up to be an era as big as 1989 IF she really MILKS this era with like at minimum 4 singles (my dream would be 6).

 

1. Anti-Hero

2. Bejeweled (it is doing really well on social media platforms and going viral randomly)

3. Lavender Haze

4. Midnight Rain

5. Karma Remix f/ Doja Cat

6. You're on Your Own Kid

 

Literally a PERFECT era.
