OrgVisual Posted May 18 Posted May 18 The Swifties are always trying to deflect from their fav's behaviours. How is this sabotage if she's nowhere near the #1 and i don't think "Lunch" has a chance at #1 anyways. 12 1

Don't forget her utterly nonchalant and anti-chart-obsessed ritual of releasing completely unique paint-splattered vinyl variants 1
Aethereal Posted May 18 Posted May 18 Ariana does not have the same power as Taylor does, especially when it comes to pure sales. We all know how manipulative can pure sales be in charts when it comes to peaks. Taylor knew exactly what she was doing. Additionally Taylor's album is more recent and therefore it has not stabilized with weekly units like Ariana's. 3

I haven't commented on that other situation attacking Taylor so I don't see the self-drag and the comment is directed towards how very obviously the situations are different but the swifties are acting dense, one promo tactic is targeted to remain at #1 on the albums chart against Billie's new album (which is not a bad thing) and the other one is physical copies of a single that peaked two months ago and that won't ship this tracking week and it's not currently challenging to block any of Billie's new releases but the Swifties response to the haters annoying accusations is….. making more stupid accusations now targeted to Ariana? I don't see any other way to call that but stupid 4 1
cuteboyzay Posted May 18 Posted May 18 She's obviously doing this because WCBF just reached a milestone, not only that but she's about to release another single. So she's basically saying goodbye to the song lmao! Girl please 1

The lack of artistic integrity and desperate need for Taylor to steal another female's spotlight. There are over 24 variants and now she has at least 10 editions of the album, which is insane. On top of that, it's not like she's adding anything artistically - it's basically releasing 3 digital editions her fans can buy from her store to boost her numbers that they'll never actually consume nor own. It was the same issue with The Weeknd and why digital "signed" copies are such a hot topic - our charts in the U.S. are supposed to be protected from mass fan buying. Artists who chase charts will release $3.99 digital-only editions to get their loyal fans to buy products they don't actually consume just for the chance of putting their fave on top. 1 1 8
Rep2000 Posted May 18 Posted May 18 Not in Billie's week omg!!! She's not a girl's girl confirmed! Quick, Billie, hide your bf! /s 2

Colmillo Posted May 18 Posted May 18 I have a lot of things I want to say but I don't want a warning point so I'll just say this: This is in NO WAY similar to what Taylor is doing, Billie was easily going to take the #1 album and Taylor saw that and decided to release more version of her album to block her because she currently has the #1 album, meanwhile you don't need to buy a whole album just to listen to these remixes/new versions, it's like comparing pears to apples. 1

You act like other artists don't do that The artist who this thread is about quite literally released half a dozen versions/remixes of her lead single, and more cover variants for her album than any Taylor studio album since folklore. Yet for a reason you only keep this bitter energy for Taylor, and we all know why! Edited May 18 by The Music Industry

Oh please. Issa joke. If Taylor is serious, she would have dropped the Anthology physicals or Fortnight remixes. And not some side B songs' voice memos. This is not that serious to be this pressed. 2
thatsmydemi Posted May 18 Posted May 18 The embarrassment and cringe I'm feeling reading this thread. That fanbase needs to stop. Calling out Taylor has hit a nerve it seems. 4 1 1

Like... The overreaction is people suggesting promoting music to be #1 is somehow vile, despicable and the peak of hatred and atrocity. Ma'am, this is the music industry. Music competes every week for the top spot. Not some kumbaya charity. 8
Bhabylon Posted May 18 Posted May 18 The swifties are so lame Grasping at straws to throw another woman under the bus for a situation that isn't even on par with what Taylor did 10 3
UnusualBoy Posted May 18 Posted May 18 Some swifties acting obtuse Either way, don't get the point of selling these like just put them on streaming lol. 1
dawnettakins Posted May 18 Posted May 18 I mean that's a single, not an album for one. Plus, it's Billie's album debut week which Billie is in the running for #1 for sure whereas the single by Billie is not. Taylor was likely going to go back to #1 the following week anyway. A very clear difference and everyone knows it. The only ones who don't or argue anything but is just pretending not to see it. 1
Headlock Posted May 18 Posted May 18 1 hour ago, Eternium said: The Swifties pretending to be obtuse just to protect their fave with the lamest arguments Taylor has tried to block multiple women and now she's releasing the 22nd, 23rd and 24th editions of her album that was already curated as double album to manipulate the charts (Morgan Wallen's impact) just to block a new female artist. It's gross and a total violation of the "feminism" she used to promote and sell 1989. The Swifties are desperate because they have this weird need for Taylor to be the victim and to pretend everyone else is the problem but her. The biggest kii is that nobody is dragging Taylor for releasing physical singles and they're trying to act like Ariana doing a standard practice is the same as releasing three new digital-only editions to block an act from the next generation. The Weeknd got dragged when he sold digital "signed" copies and Taylor (and her fans) deserve to get dragged for this toxic behavior. Aw no mention of Discover Mode, those are always the best parts of your obsessive posts in Taylor threads 1
