How is that not nepotism? Gosh yall have no critical thinking. That quite literally IS the definition of nepotism. Nepotism isn't "having a famous relative" Edited May 22 by Gaia 15 4

That quite literally IS the definition of nepotism. Nepotism isn't "having a famous relative" I didn't realize Taylor's father was involved in the entertainment industry The way you continue to make a fool out of yourself all these years later. The ~literal definition~ of nepotism is: "favoritism based on kinship, and especially to the unfair practice of giving jobs and other favors to relatives." https://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day/nepotism-2023-09-27#:~:text=Nepotism refers to favoritism based,position at her cousin's store. This MEANS that Taylor being a nepotism baby would only work if her father was either a famous musician or a label executive and used his influence to get her signed. Which we both know is not what happened. Edited May 22 by Headlock 7

The Kanye mom's death anniversary theory is such a reach Her album always dropped on the Friday in the late October/early November, the world is not spinning around Kanye and nobody knows Kanye's mom death date before those conspiracy theories got spread. Anti-Hero remixes was there because Rihanna reported website fraud sales initially, releasing 100 versions of video and digital single. Chart predictors are highly suspicious about Rihanna's unbelievable high download number and said the competition was tight, forcing Taylor's team release those remixes, but Billboard eventually filtered the fraud sales and it proved that the remixes was not needed at all. That's another story and don't let me start that I can't believe a Rihanna stan mention that week cause I will be so embarrassed to even think about it Edited May 22 by HappierJealousy 8

Nepotism isn't "having a famous relative" Investing in, if I recall, something like a 3% share of an independent startup label with no office or roster at the time isn't really "buying her a career." To get ahead of it, I also don't see Billie as a benefactor of nepotism either. This isn't a chart battle that involves the concept. 8

All these yapping because you are still mad over this? It have been over a year too bad you still can't sleep well throughout these period ever since Lift me Up is blocked from #1 3
Taylor fanboy Posted May 22 Posted May 22 Now why did this thread become a ventilation against Taylor? She's just a singer who releases music. Airing out false narratives and confirmation biases ain't changing anything. 1
iamanearthling Posted May 22 Posted May 22 Damn. The OTHs are really losing it. It's very entertaining. Lols. Thank you. 1

I'm not saying I think Taylor is actually some huge nepo baby but Swifties calling Billie one when they don't even know who her parents are (just what they were) and acting like Taylor was some damsel that came from a poor family and moved herself across the country and played on the side of the road until she bagged a career is so weird. You know that's not true. Some Swifties really just come off so… don't even have a word for it. It's just weird. 3 1 1

Gaia Posted May 22 Posted May 22 Now even as someone who doesn't like Ms. Swift I do think it's kinda despicable to claim she purposely released on the 10th anniversary of Kanye's mom's death. Taylor gives chart obsessed and a little petty but not straight up evil 1
jonapova Posted May 22 Posted May 22 We need the @CEOofATRL to start banning these Swifties who hijack every thread by causing an argument and then start spewing essays in their defence. It's tiring and always the SAME users. Get a life, get a job. Incredible numbers for Billie and I'm hoping she pulls through. 5 3

Most Swifties have career, stable jobs hence why most of them can afford and support her music. Unlike other fanbases, they are focusing and put their energy on Taylor instead of spending more time busy hating other artists. 4 3
dumbsparce Posted May 22 Posted May 22 12 hours ago, tetrachord said: I mean is it weirder than releasing a song titled "Clara Bow," which reflects on an industry that cycles through female artists? All the while, maneuvering to prevent another fairly new female artist from reaching #1? It feels off, esp. considering a #1 debut for Billie's record could be important to underrepresented LGBTQ groups. Fairgame if Taylor would have clinched it without her tactics. Since when is Billie representing for LGBTQIAWDWG groups?? 3

CC looks like it's not going to return to the Top 10 unless she releases the physical, or when she has another proper single (plus tour announcement).
