Keeping it vague to spark some discussion. All because that album comes out in a week and no one cares about it

Vampire just reached #1 in the UK, in its 9th week

[taylor__fan]

I dont think Vampire is about Taylor

If it is the lyrics make 0 sense

So in less than 2 years she went from debuting at #1 to needing 9 weeks, 1 month of pre-orders, cassetes, 99p discount and signed cds to reach the summit? ouch!

But ATRL told me their beef was made up by 30 year old gheys

i mean. in less than 2 years sis is at least going #1 in both the US and UK with top 10 hits on the side. Not every new pop girly in their sophomore era can do stuff like that!

Not a Billie stan saying this when Billie literally did the same to ensure a #1 just two weeks ago

Billie's peak was 4 years ago and she debuted in 2016 vs Olivia's peak being in 2021 and she debuting in 2021

[Illuminati]

That was a pretty brutal thing to ask, putting her on the spot like that AND quoting the lyrics

When you try to drag but fail terribly. Billie's sophomore era was WWAF.... I guess you meant second album

 

You are right tho. Billie didn't have any #1s in the UK during WWAF... not like she needed it.

Shunning away HTE’s floppage and not wanting to compare it with GUTS so now WWAFA is her sophomore. Oh it was bad for her.

Shunning away an EP that sold 14m WW is okay, I guess.

[Kyoto]

And why is a Katy Perry stan talking about floppage?

[loliza]

In all this the thing i don't get is why swifties think they can drag other users in base of what they stan. Like in the first page - i haven't read the others because it got annoying too much- the criticizm ain't about olivia pr defending taylor (i mean they don't have an argument maybe?) but it's all about katy perry and how her stans don't have any right to speak up since she's a flop now (i mean, worth more than all of us combined but a flop compared to taylor i guess). 

 

I don't really get it, but maybe this is the best demostration of people living their faves achievements as their own.

 

 

On topic, if the 50% is true it is definitly a theft but that's how the world works: the bigger shark eats the small one.

 

[SimpleKindofLife]

I refuse to believe that Paramore or Taylor specifically sought out credits but their lawyers and publishers definitely saw similarities and applied the pressure to Olivia’s team which left her in a hard place. If she were to deny the royalty share she probably would’ve been taken to court which is scary for someone just starting. I’d be pissed if I were her and I hope more of the lyrics on GUTS address that.

And why shouldn't they? Is there written somewhere that you can't talk about floppage if your fave popstar ain't a big star anymore?

I'm especially struck by this childish way of reasoning, by people unable to support a discussion that goes beyond the arguments of a 5-year-old. even the latter just say my father is stronger than yours, but at least they are cute and make you laugh. A pathetic attitude instead if carried on by 20 year olds.

[KMO]

She’s letting this narrative run just how Taylor does with her songs — refusing to admit who they’re about. It’s very normal tbh idk why this is news.

 

Name one time Taylor has admitted which ex/someone she doesn’t like inspired a song. The closest we have is Style very obviously being about Harry since it’s so on the nose.

God, that interview. Olivia sounds so joyless and dour. You’re a young successful popstar, I’m sure some things are challenging but why are you whining so much about everything?  You can quit if you’re not having fun.

Her and Billie definitely need to vacation or find better boyfriends because they both come off incessantly miserable which is ironic given they’re the biggest Gen Z girls. I really miss when pop girls liked to have fun and showed it in their music

Girl, this is ATRL. Ask to delete your account if you are not aware what this place is about.

Her answers always send me nnnnn. She truly graduated from the Taylor Alison Swift School of PR  

[Young Volcanoes]

i find it highly hypocritical that taylor and jack demanded credit considering cruel summer is a rip off of a kpop song

Not Olivia using Taylor (once again) for promo. Homegirl needs to learn how to stand on her own. It seems like her success is always because of someone else.

thowing people under the bus for extra pr. I wonder which other female artist is doing that for ages?

[Kyoto]

"Oh but you shouldn't drag pop girls and make fun of their stans"

“I was very surprised when people thought that.”

 

I don't know about y'all but that sounds like an answer to me? 

 

Some of you all desperately need to learn PR language. Of course she isn't going to come right out and emphatically say "no no no it's not about my goddess Taylor Swift" because that could and would be misconstrued and turned into something else. She's perfectly succinct in saying she doesn't want to go into the topic of who songs are about, but in that last line confirmed that she was surprised to find out people thought it was about Taylor which pretty openly says that it isn't.

It’s giving when that one reporter asked who All Too Well was about and Taylor dodged it like crazy sis got media trained as hell

[Illuminati]

She's probably more worried about which Guts songs are gonna get claimed
