She's unstoppable

Hollywood is fuming because their movie release dates are in shambles because of the strike and their stars cannot properly promote films and here comes Taylor disrupting further movie studios' release plans. Taylor does not need promo for her concert film because duh, she is the biggest star in the planet.

 

Pay your actors and writers Hollywood, until then give them hell Miss Swift.

Swifties are NOT the fanbase most guilty of that, not by a long shot. If you want a fanbase that constantly undermines Madonna you just have to look at little monsters, nobody is more guilty of it than them 

If anything, i see most fanbases on this site trying hard to undermine Taylor, not the other way around.

 

Sorry for the few Swifties saying sh*t like that, they're not representative of the fanbase at all. Madonna is my second fave after Taylor and i would NEVER undermine her in any way.

When I said "they" I was not referring to Swift's fan base as a whole. Just the seven members in this thread that came in blazing ready to throw shade at Madonna here. That's all.

The delusion in this thread… I am sure this will be big for a concert film, but thinking it is having an effect on feature films that are being affected by the strike is delusional. :toofunny: 

 

I am truly curious how much money is enough for her. Rebuy albums you already bought a decade ago. Rebuy an album with a slightly different cover. Rebuy a ticket to the show you already paid $300 to see. Like damn… She is a through and through capitalist.

If only she'd sold makeup, champagne, perfume, shoes, jewelry and medicine instead of music like her peers

You can’t use AMC stubs points, you can still earn credits. I know I did.

Taylor isn’t forcing anyone to do anything, she’s making music and people are responding. I suppose the majority of ATRL wouldn’t understand this though, seeing as most of the girls stanned here have pivoted to countless side ventures in order to do anything but music. Worry about that. 

[Relampago.]

Can someone explain what the issue is? It’s just because she announced a surprise release with different prices?

[awesomepossum]

Not y'all acting like pissing people off is an achievement. What has been accomplished here? I'm sure the film will be a huge success, but what's the story here other than the fact that she's possibly breaking the law to inflate her own prices and some execs are upset they didn't know about the release date ahead of time? How is that an accomplishment?

I don't think anyone said she's forcing anyone to do anything. 15 versions of the same album (aka the same MUSIC) doesn't apply to what you just said.

I am fairly sure they wouldn’t let themselves break any laws just like that.

And what does it apply to then?

Corporations skirt regulations all the time so that's just inaccurate. It would apply to new music. It would apply to people buying an album of songs of hers that they don't already have. Not buying their 6th copy of an album they already own.

Yeah, I am sure Taylor Swift and her team would let themselves being caught up in ill-law making decicisions, especially in regards to her career. Nothing is impossible, but still. 
 

I am not sure what is your complaint in later part though.

Well maybe not but I'm saying what the article says. The article says that the pricing is possibly illegal. Maybe it isn't. But, again, what is the accomplishment here?

If only she put more effort into a makeup brand and filming movies her fans will claim she is owning the industry with instead ugh when will Capilor end <\3

Trust me, accomplishment here is the movie itself - it is cinematic experience of potentially biggest tour ever and possibly Swift’s biggest career tour. Pissing executives off and everything this article/thread is about is side-effect, which is normal considering this kind of things come with such ripple.

All Swifties aside, this represents exhibitors sending a clear message to studios in the middle of the SAG and WGA strikes: Theaters can find programming without their help.

They're so disrespectful with it 

 

They don't "understand" that Queen of Pop stands for Queen of Popular Culture. Madonna earned that title because up to that point in history, no other female mainstream musician impacted media and culture on that unprecedented level globally and she secured her legacy by continuously evolving, breaking taboos and thresholds, and defining the parameters and the conversation around "the female Pop star" as a media figure and performer. Taylor is not above that just because she's a commercial mammoth and she's surely not "The next Beatles" just because she has a monstrous fan base who consumes her catalog through streaming because that's not what made the Beatles The Beatles to begin with as well.  

 

Free reads: 

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_impact_of_Madonna

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_impact_of_the_Beatles

 

(Yes I have read Taylor's page as well and it doesn't compare) 

 

They think to themselves: But Taylor did more than Pop, she also did country! she's above this! completely ignoring the fact that Madonna has multi-platinum albums that were Jazz, Swing, Classical, R&B, and even experimental. Not just Pop. 

 

OT - Taylor's slaying 

Don't think it's necessarily meant to be disrespectful, but "Queen of Pop" has always been the honorary title for people vying to be "the next (but implicitly lesser) Madonna". But there's a point at which very special artists cease to be compared to those before them in that sense and become an unprecedented and incomparable force of their own.

 

Kind of like how Madonna is "The Queen of Pop"

Michael is the "King of Pop"

Elvis is "The King"

and The Beatles are just "The Beatles"

 

They can all stand alone because at some point they towered over their peers in unique ways that makes them emblematic of their time and comparisons become almost meaningless. We might as well be arguing about whether the 1950s or the 1960s or the 1980s was the best decade.

I think her working directly with only AMC to distribute and having them bend to her will at every demand is what's most impressive about this  I wonder if she also asked for concessions for her actual movie when it comes out.

[selena_lavigne]

Is this a worldwide theatre release or just US?

[305]

She just can't stop disrupting everything
