Apparently she only moved 100k physical in those 2 days? Clearly this ain't the case. Anybody know What's going on? Impossible, especially with RSD taking place. Clearly some sort of 1989 TV release week type of situation. HDD just said 2.3M is the minimum predicted for her first week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it jarring and one of my least favorite elements of the whole album It made it become SOTY for me. I was screaming out loud at that part on 1st listen. SOTY.

Black Sunflower Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I hate how it is being panned by some places when it's obvious they're just jumping on the it's cool to hate Taylor bandwagon. A 10/100 is ridiculous. It is OBJECTIVELY not that bad. I can't remember listening to an album that bad in years. These people should not be critics. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She will ALWAYS win. The point is the panned thing It's not true. While fans weren't really not streaming rep in 2018 this won't be the case. And radio are loving her so yeah next months will be fun for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as we see with the private jets, other offenders don't get the same vitriol blondie gets This is what happens when you are the most popular artist on the planet earth!

Usually I'm not one to get lost in a narrative like the one that has transpired over the last few months here on ATRL. But enough is enough. This will be the only time I'm commenting on this ****, because that's what it is. S H I T. For EVERY album release cycle here since 2020 (evermore), Swifties, casual listeners and just common pop culture enthusiasts have had to listen to and endure the pure SPEW that comes from the OTHs mouths on here. Trying to downplay EVERY single success this woman has. I know she is a billionaire etc. etc. and we shouldn't be feeling that sorry for her and I DON'T, it's just so funny but at times concerting to read and consume. I've NEVER seen a bunch of people that focus SO MUCH. SO MUCH. Of their energies (collective stanbases) on the takedown of one woman who is at the TOP of her game. She is THERE because she is GOOD. She has GOOD intentions. That is why she has such a LARGE proportion of fans. And for those to say that she is only HUGE because of GIRLS and WHITE WOMEN are wrong. But even if that were the caee - what's so wrong with that? In this ****** up world we live in, are we not allowed to be escapists? Is it Taylor's fault that her ARTISTRY and CONNECTION with her fans is so ridiculed? It's giving internalised misogny. This has been going on FOREVER. I used to find it exhausting sticking up for her but I don't care anymore. She might not be the best vocalist or the best performer but that's what makes her so so contagious. It's her STORY, her MELODIES, her LYRICS, her LIFE LESSONS that she shares so honestly. Crossing 2.3 million sales (or as the prediction reads, idk it's hard to keep up this week lol), is ******* FANTASTIC. But because it's not beating Adele it's not considered the best? Or because she released a double album its calculated? Like **** off with this ****. All our girls shine. In their own ways. But STOP being so ******* BITTER and JEALOUS of the fact that... TAYLOR ALISON SWIFT ...will ALWAYS be number one. Get ******* used to it, fools. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are proof they gave a vote only with the intent to damage the vote. I think people should contact metacritic and make them delete It cause It clearly not something professional. The fact the part 2 has a 70 or 73 doesn't change anything for It but this kind of behaviour should be reported imo.

Her problem is that she does the same melody over and over again, I'm listening to alchemy, that type of singing in the chorus she has done not just on this album but on previous ones. if i didn't hear it from her already 3, million times it would be fine, it's just repetitive if it's repeated more than 2 times (from any artist, not just her) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe she's making a move? Maybe she's got some trick up her sleeve? - perhaps there's a possibility that her team crunched the numbers and calculated that the max she'd get is 2.9m, so they thought "whatever, 2.1m or 2.9m first week it doesn't make a difference, might as well save some copies for week2", but then all the claptrap "Reviews" came out and she's like "fu,ck it, I'm giving Monte lip man a call, we're gonna make a move" Edited April 23 by Kitboga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
