nnn with Cruel Summer about a sneeze away from diamond eligibility, Taylor will have what... 5 albums with diamond eligible singles (4 in a row nnn), which is surely more than anyone else, right? :deadbanana4:

 

I can excuse the Disney people for not giving a **** but can Republic Records please step to the microphone to defend their decision to not keep Taylor's certifications up to date :gaycat4:

I agree, we need to bring back gate-keeping to the fandom.

 

Like, do y'all want to fight little 12 year old b****es in the street again for tour tickets? NO! We need a Swift literacy test before tickets can be reserved.

Is there any chance TTPD will return to the top for the 13th week? :gaycat2:

It will eventually. Even if it's in October when she is performing in the states again.

The Cassandra hate blows my mind; the best song she's written about/alluding to that situation, and a large part of the fanbase doesn't like it. :gaycat7:

I understand that people say it's similar to Mad Woman (which I agree, but since it addresses an entirely different situation, I think the connection actually strengthens Cassandra), but I love the central metaphor, and as I said literally the day before yesterday, I love the ethereality of her vocals in the bridge. I always think about like... Taylor's ghost floating around singing the bridge when I listen :deadbanana4:

Also the way she poked deeeeply at the hypocrisy of their actions in contrast with their supposed faith... I think that's got to be one of the most personally biting things she's ever written, and y'all just gloss over it :deadbanana2:

I think we should be made to sing the entirety of I Heart ? into the microphone in one take before being allowed into the presale queue :suburban:

she needs to have active singles to move more units. The reason Morgan has stayed at 70k units for over a year is because he has multiple songs smashing at different times

Country radio is a lot more forgiving of an album going 7+ singles deep than pop or the AC world ever was, but I do agree that the best thing for TTPD would be at least one more after ICDIWABH finishes up (probably in early/mid September if I had to guess)

as long as broken heart lingers in the top 20 for a bit, and then have gas?/down bad released early in the fall, she will stay somewhat stable. She will cut the album's life super short if she abandons it or releases more TVs

i will not forgive her is GaS? is not a single, but the fact that it's not even on the TTPD set is worrying. she's probably just going with Down Bad...

The fact that it's cleared 5x plat. in 3 months means that it'll absolutely have some inertia and, even if ICDIWABH died tomorrow and she never spoke about the album again, it'll probably be over 7x by it's first anniversary. However, if she plays the era right and doesn't just let it rot, it could speed run to diamond eligibility :jonny5:

And then to cut the number down even further, those who sang it perfectly then have to name and sing a Debut vault track not named I'd Lie

Yeah, usually the songs she thinks could be singles get slotted into the tour before she makes those decisions (I had several conversations with people about Karma getting pushed after the Eras setlist debuted, a month and a half before it got picked), but Guilty might be the exception to that rule because she probably didn't want to sing about getting off to the thought of Matty Healy every night on tour, and since she's not doing talkshows anymore, it could hypothetically be a single without her ever having to play it again :deadbanana4:

godly as hymn will not be released a single and will get the pre-2023 cruel summer treatment imo. It will take something major for it to gain momentum like cruel summer did, although it wont be nearly as big (if it even happens)

The that'll never be a single I think I'll mourn the most is My Bible Only Has My Favorite Scriptures, because I know the doll themed video would EAT, and I'm also convinced she intentionally wrote that hook as a radio chorus, and it sucks that she's decided to never put it to good use :gaycat6:
