Taylor’s previous peaks have been followed by significant smaller albums:

 

Fearless was followed by Speak Now

1989 was followed by Reputation

Folklore was followed by Evermore

 

TBH, I think this time will be different 

we all want to know the details about her relationship w football jock so yes

It doesn't matter imo

 

TS13 is the real deal

It will smash but I just don't see it being bigger than Midnights.

6.5 million albums sold in one year in the US alone is too much. 

I think there's going to be a slighttttttt decline, just slight 

It’ll be huge. New high profile relationship, currently on the eras tour and coming off the back of midnight and 1989 Taylor’s version will keep everything going 

itll be her biggest album yet

i fear that getting tour tickets for TS11 is gonna be just as hard as Eras 

She’s at an all-time high in the press which tends to do wonders for her creative spark and attention on her releases so I think yes!

It will easily be her biggest first week (assuming it has a proper release) and her best performing album globally. In that respect, I’m sure it’ll stomp Midnights, which was already her best performing album globally by a long shot.

 

But in terms of US success I could see it being similar to Midnights in the long run. Bigger debut, a bit less longevity. 61 consecutive weeks and counting in the top 10 is no joke

I mean as long as the music is good, who cares?

 

Let’s be real, she’s one of if not the biggest name in music. It’s gonna smash. 

I can't say too much but that interview where she exposed industry figures as trying to replace her has made my colleagues and I more determined than ever.

who's we and why do you think you and your colleagues would have anything to do with it? 

if it's pop it'll smash harder

First week number will be huge for sure, 2M in the US is possible, longevity it depends on the quality she delivers

I mean 1989 tv just ended that so

What the **** 

 

Taylor Swift could never release another album ever again and she still could not and would never be replaced. Seethe and suffer.

I can't think of an album that's as anticipated as TS11. Even the hype '1989 (TV)' had feels too small compared to just how much people are waiting for TS11. So I think the first week(s) sales & streams will be truly monumental and surpass everything Taylor has achieved to date on that front.

 

As for longevity, I think it'll do "worse" than 'Midnights'. 60+ weeks in the BB200 top 10 and over a full year of getting 10M+ daily streams on Spotify consecutively is just an incredibly high bar.

olivia will never be 1/4 as big as taylor  seethe

Yes she can never decline she only gets bigger and bigger. Anything under 3M first week would be a huge flop for her

You need to make up your mind sis

„Spelling is fun” singer, at this point of her career can release album made of sounds of her snoring and still snatch every single record, because her fans, loving mediocrity would buy anything. 

the anger in this thread is incredible
