It's still one additional version of the album you can buy, it doesn't matter if people that already bought the album can get it for free, in fact, the most diehard fans will probably buy it either way from another email account. 1. You can buy almost two copies of The Tortured Poets Department for 1 of Billie's. 2. Nobody does that other than Taylor Swift fans and K-pop fans. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a talented businesswoman foremost and wouldn't involve her label in decisions that keep her at the top until it comes to executing them So you're saying Billie is a puppet 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstreak Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 41 minutes ago, More Than A Melody said: This is Billie's release week she hasn't been #1 yet, so how is it hypocritical to care if someone who's already been #1 for four weeks does it but not when the person releasing does it? Isn't it the exact reason people were upset on Billie's behalf? That it's Billie's week and they wanted her to be #1? You make no sense. It isn't different standards. It'd be different standards if they'd both released this week and were battling for #1 but that's absolutely not the case. It'd be different standards if people had criticized Taylor for pulling a move like this on her release week, but that's also not the case. It's not hypocritical at all if you think Billie should have her chance of being #1, to not be upset that she's trying to be #1. Like, what is this argument? If you want to come for her by saying that she's hypocritical because "a source close to her said..." then fine? I personally think the most likely scenario is that Billie doesn't care that much (but deep down does, like most artists), but that either way it wasn't her decision. Label-heads get a bonus for reaching a milestone like #1 and they miss out on that when it peaks lower. Sure, you can claim that Taylor's label is pulling the chart games, but we all know she has the label by the nose and they will do whatever she wants them to do and that it's unlikely Billie has that pull with her own label. It's like y'all are incapable of nuance. Once again, you don't get a guaranteed #1 just because it's your release week 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that WANTING to get a #1 spot and going for it on your release week is understandable and that's what people were complaining about. ATP I'm wondering if you guys even read before quoting. 23 minutes ago, CécredSpaces said: Taylor doesn't even have the normal deal with Republic like it is with other artists. She's only "signed" as far as distribution goes. But the label can't hold her to account in terms of how she wants to release or promote it. It's all her. Her releases aren't even (C) Republic Records. It's (C) Taylor Swift. Billie doesn't have that pull, nor the exact deal. That's what I figured when Taylor put her catalogue back on TikTok before they reached a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see Taylor sing Birds of a Feather, The Greatest, (particularly the belts) or at least try the vocal runs in Chihiro.
