[Holy Ground]

Organic smash 

[FolkLover1989]

She needs to push it already 

It's time 

[blown away]

#1 on the Hot 100 next.

[Carry My Heart]

The organic smashery is crazy 

[Badgalbriel]

Hopefully, the 1989 announcement tonight will give this enough points to be #1 next week. 

[Katamari]

the first number one the lover era is a song that wasn't released a single until years later

 

i just know shes internally fuming that her single choices during the initial era backfired! 

[littlebodybigheart]

get those 25 sales

 

but nah for real, this is impressive. the way this song has persevered despite her practically ignoring it is so funny. 

[By the Water]

Fans should have waited until her team showed signs of pushing the song to #1 to buy it but whatever

I don't think fans are buying a 4-year-old song on iTunes These sales are likely from casuals/the GP.

[Forevermore.]

I don't know if this means that much in terms of #1 chances.. iTunes is pretty much a dead platform and Taylor has not relied on iTunes for sales in at least over half a decade. But I guess it's good either way.

She’s fuming but we’ll keep on celebrating 

 

Imagine an AU where she dethroned OTR and thinks we want more of ME!ss 

 

The folkmore erasure  the AOTY3 erasure  the eras tour success erasure  I couldn’t stand it 

[Rebel Lion]

And hopefully every summer

[Green]

It will probably reach the #1 on August 21st if there isn't any big release this friday (I know Olivia will release a single but it's probably just a promo single) 

[Red Velvet]

Why is she refusing to give it the last push to #1

 

She is usually on top of this stuff 

[Ger]

Oh wow, it's coming for the summit on Hot 100 organically!

[Sad Serenade]

A smash on every platform

[TaylenaStan]

+200 sales 

[Walk_Away21]

A smash just before 1989 TV is announced

[Tusk]

Taylor is the only one to be in 10 eras at once and succeed! 

[Maroonx]

people buying the song this week instead of waiting until next week... smh... I think it will have a better chance at #1 next week.

Cruel Summer was supposed to be a single but was scraped along with the tour when Covid hit. Regardless everything aligned perfectly

They are I'm afraid  pretty sure some of the big Twitter fan accounts called on people to buy the song as Last Night is slipping

Not at all, if anything i'm sure she's happy about it since she wouldn't be having the imperial era she's having right now if it wasn't for her mistakes of the past.

 

Also, CS would not have smashed as hard if it came out in 2019, her popularity wasn't as strong back then. The stars perfectly aligned for it to smash in 2023.
