I never said they didn't. They just aren't the majority of consumers and her main demographic.

Get them. I'm also POC and generalising the entire fanbase is getting weird.

Fun anecdotal, personal fact:

I'm mixed; my White mother cannot stand Taylor Swift and my Black father was so excited when 1989 TV came out because he's loved that album since the original came out in 2014. 

[tjspy]

And she did that with only 31 songs 

 

Anyway, even a normal album would have break the record, just not this fast.

The McDonalds of Pop drag is so corny on ATRL of all places because if Taylor is McDonalds, what does that make your fave? Burger King? Jack in the Box? 

Huh? Who's my fav? But you're right, all these pop stars are the music equivalent of fast food.

Same reason sports fans celebrate when their team wins? 
 

Same reason you celebrate when your fav debuts with above 10k album sales? 

I make fun of couch quarterbacks, too.

 

And I've never done such a thing.

Ugh I made that username when I was a teen. I don't even like the nurtec lady anymore/have a "fav." 
 

OT: bad music, insane streams. Enjoy Swifties

That's like a million copies sold in a week in the streaming era.

[Taemira]

white people should not be so proud of this.

[Støned]

Down Smash's impact. 

 

She's truly out of this world. 

 

[chiliam]

But the album is boring, but theres no melody, but this is midnights 2.0....

But but but

 

The most impressive thing is the songs are average 4 mins, and most are ballads and midtempo. This proves that people tune in for quality even In this 2mins songs era.

Absolutely unheard of

The streaming era started around 2014. So either you were born after that or you forgot Adele. 

 

OT: Congrats Taylor

People were complaining about Adele's 25 as well. It won't be until her next album that you'll see if this criticism affected her numbers in any way.

Adele number go down cause it took her too long to release not beause of the response from 25, its hard to maintain a fanbase for such long break.

25 did it thing and claim a spot in history book, though.

 

Taylor has a strong fanbase and even if TS12 "flop", it will still clear 1m mark

Smash smash SMASH

 

Florence Welch ha impact

Nah, it just went down because 21 was lightning in a bottle and her entire career is built on that album. It's not like anything went wrong on 25 or 30. Hell, Easy On Me was a ten week #1 single leading into that album release. You couldn't ask for a more perfect release cycle.

 

It's just not easy to keep the magic going.

Honestly it's a great album, deserved. Aesthetics and sonics are on point. How she pulled this together while on Eras Tour I'll never know. Sis doesn't take it easy.
