Just a few examples, By coming with examples of friggin' COMMERCIALS All of them could've announced all at the ceremony yet chose not to because it's tacky. 2 2 1
Solaria Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Idk why people are getting so worked up about Taylor being called a narcissist. Didn’t she say in Anti-Hero that she thinks that of herself sometimes? 1 3
Feanor Posted February 9 Posted February 9 1 minute ago, BrandNewBrandon said: People went to Spotify to see if Midnights was really that good Has nothing to do with them criticising her afterwards. And it seems like they liked what they heard, seeing as how her consumption levels have stayed at that heightened, post-Grammys scale. Those viral TikToks you keep citing as "genuine dislike" don't seem to have any negative effects on what really matters. 2

Blade Runner Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Not gonna change anything and this is not the first time this is happening. In fact, her next album will debut with even bigger numbers. When will these LOSERS learn?

EdgeofTeeth Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Taylor IS a narcissist and it’s overwhelmingly apparent. She’s also unnaturally hardworking (probably more than any of our faves, honestly). Both can be true 3 1 1
Jon Snow Posted February 9 Posted February 9 (edited) The only problem I see is that she came up to the stage and acted as if she's at her concert with only her fans watching, telling how she'll go backstage to post the cover. I mean, most people in that room and on TV don't even care if she's releasing. That's not even a problem. Just... it felt out of place Edited February 9 by Jon Snow 2 1

My FYP has never been more full of one type of video than these types of Taylor drags since Sunday but you never know if that really means something or if it's just your corner of the internet.

JJZAW Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Swifties are defending Taylor like she pays their rent and breastfeeds them into existence. In reality Taylor only cares about her fans because of what they will do for her. Here's the most recent receipt so far: 1. Over 20+ different versions of Midnights. Some with special songs, remixes, album covers, and form a 'clock'. Smart? yes. Calculative and cunning? yes. She wants to make sure her fans buy at least more than one copy and help her get those sales and records 2. Charging her fans ridiculous amount for her concert ticket, on average 700-1400. On top of that she allowed dynamic pricing which increases the tickets to thousands, even tens of thousands. Did we forget she never addressed this issue? she only addressed the website being down, nothing about the price gouging. 3. Release the Eras Tour in the cinema, only to release it again but the extended version for rent (she knows swifties will purchase both). Was the hundreds of millions in box office not enough? 4. Bookmark this: the TPD logo on her album cover will be capitalised so much. She'll release a range of merchandise, particularly jewellery. And swifities will devour them. The above wouldn't be as big of an issue if her main demographic wasn't teenagers... Am I right or am I not wrong? 1 8 4

This is the most bog-standard release strategy for every movie 4.

But when Gaga swept the 2010 VMAs she did the same things Taylor did - talked directly to her fans, announced her album name, sang the chorus to her new single, and even handed her meat purse to Cher while accepting an award. Where was the outrage about all of that? Taylor is the only one who gets heat for the most ridiculous BS. 1
Cruel Summer Posted February 10 Posted February 10 I don’t know why any part of this is still focused on Taylor announcing an album to a room of people who allegedly don’t care for her when she obviously made the announcement with the literally millions of streaming and TV viewers in mind, knowing a huge portion would be fans literally only watching to see if she won. Like we’re acting as if she did this at some closed-door formal luncheon put on by some committee that donates to rich people’s yacht clubs and not the nationally televised Grammy Awards that have consistently been a pivotal part of her career for fifteen years. Who cares if she made that moment all about her? It literally was! She won an award in front of an audience of millions! And to top it off, I was hearing all week before that how the Grammys are irrelevant these days and don’t actually matter, and now people are all up in arms about something so weirdly miniscule. Like I swear to god people just make **** up at this point. 4

Try again. Taylor signed up for dynamic pricing (at least in the US with Ticketmaster). A quick google search would show you. Try again.
