chiliam Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 i mean she has hits, she has classics, but still 225m is insane for her catalouge so Katy`s 1st five album almost valued the same as Taylor 1st six albums ( it was 300m but it`s for the whole Big Machine label which i think Taylor`s part is around 250m) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 On one hand, get money queen... on the other hand, it's clear she really doesn't care about her music career in that way or she'd never sell. I couldn't imagine it. It'd be like selling my child. But to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
