base talk If Taylor really dislikes her peers, why did she move ahead Red TV for 30's release?

[Støned]

Not defending or criticizing Taylor, as I am a fan of both Tay and Adele.

If she dislikes her peers (especially successful women) ,why did she move Red TV one week before 30, when she could've stick to her scheduled date and might cause a chart battle like what we have today?
 

 

[KatyPrismSpirit]

because she didnt want to get blocked from #1 

[Aspookykid]

That was for her own benefit 

[Hurem]

Because Taylor, like bullies usually do, only goes for weaker targets. That's why she sabotaged Katy when she was at her lowest, Olivia Rodrigo who was a newbie, and now Billie. You will never see her try to pull that **** with the likes of Beyonce or Adele.

[ReneighIsHere]

because she would have been blocked from #1 

[Virgos Groove]

Because everyone (including Taylor) thought she couldn't compete with Adele. It wasn't generosity, it was self-protection.

[Burn]

Because she was scared, shook, panicking.

Red TV debuted 605k, whereas 30 debuted 839k.

I mean, the outcome would've been very different if she released the same week as Adele (I thank her for not doing that though).

 

If she decided to go head to head, Red has an upper hand in streaming (30 tracks vs. 11 tracks), and she might actually prevent Adele from debuting at #1.

Adele was coming off the back of an album that sold 3m copies in a week. Regardless of what it went on to sell, that would be enough to make any artist fearful.

[EtherealCat]

she was playing the long game, she knew red tv would destroy adeles streaming momentum

[helpthomas]

lmao i'm/everyone should be pretty sure she did that because she thought adele would get the #1 and thus moved it, not out of courtesy but out of her usual scheming and plotting to debut at #1 

[Rep2000]

Because OTHs can't comprehend a chart battle without resorting to cheap personal jabs about Taylor or Swifties. It's just that simple.

If Billie or anyone wants an easier #1, they can push the album back a few weeks like Taylor did. But no, they have to act like they are entitled to that #1 and whine about competing for it.

She was showing her generousity and Love for swifties, imagine how happy her fans were when she moved it a week earlier. Omg I am so happy that I am a fan of such a kind and caring artist, it is so rare in our times when most artist care only about chart stats and whatever

[Gladiator]

Because if she moved it back, it wouldn't have gotten number 1, so she moved it ahead so she guaranteed at least a number 1 debut.

girl you already know why

[BabyBenzz]

because she did not want to end her #1 streak and have her re-recording compete head-to-head with a new Adele album(who came of a 3.4m debut with the last album). If this were to happen again tho, it would have been Adele that would have to adjust her release date because there's no way Taylor is moving anything for her again seeing as her power more than doubled while Adele's was cut over half

[Shelter]

She ran that's why. Was shook 

[Bussea]

ATRL loves making up their own narratives and running with them as if they're facts. it's best not to pay attention to anything that's spewed up here

[Bloodflowers.]

Adele was coming off of 25's 3M debut sales while Taylor was coming off of evermore's 300k debut sales. Hope that helps!

Most, including Taylor was expecting Adele's debut to be higher

[cat1867]

It would have been fun if they were both released at the same time. Red TV far outstreaming 30 while 30 with the higher pure sales because Red TV vinyl were underproduced.

 

But Taylor smartly moved her album up a week which is what smart artists do to guarantee the 1 instead of trying to wait out blockbuster albums.

 

To tell the truth, Red TV actually infringed with 30's release week a bit due to it's higher streams and more interesting press narrative. Taylor really should have moved it up even more and gotten more weeks at  1 but vinyl production schedules were tight.

 

But yeah, no feud because Adele taking Red TV's release date was just business. There was no artist acting like it was personal.

so how many weeks does someone have to wait before they can drop their album without taylor pulling all sort of tricks to stay at #1?  because it's been more than a month, taylor's album has already spent 4 weeks at #1 but it seems like it's not enough. Her album would have naturally fell to #2 with ~230k units for 1 week and then go back to #1 the week later, most artists would have just let it go ESPECIALLY established artists like her, she's the only artist of her stature that resorts to these cheap tactics just to extend her run at #1...
