What's up with all these circle jerk hate threads on ATRL on Taylor / Swifties? You'd would think she's a pro Nazi Trump supporter like a certain artist

A lot of the OTHs have a collective IQ of a bucket of sludge, and cannot stand the fact that a women can be talented, EXTREMELY successful, and in control of her own career.

On top of that, they think that because 'TLOAS' is her first album to be not up to par with her previous work (and even then the first four tracks and 'Ruin the Friendship are still solid/excellent songs) that it is reflective of her entire career.

Additionally there seems to be this campaign recently where, despite the fact that it has been denied multiple times, Taylor 'stole' credits from Olivia that Taylor is this mean monster who doesn't champion new and upcoming artists... when in fact if you look throughout her career she's always been very supportive of those close to her.

At least when I was the OTH back in 2012 because I used to stan for Carrie MAGAwood I only hated her because she was more successful. These folks today cannot seem to sleep without finding a random reason to dislike her.

What I find perplexing is how artists like Justin Bieber, Drake and Morgan Wallen are championed on here by large groups yet they are far more problematic in celebrity discourse.

I'm really pleased with Opalite's streaming longevity. I think it will get even better longterm. Like Ophelia, the song is just genuinely very good and addictive. If Ophelia didn't exist and it was the lead single I'm sure it would've been bigger than Anti-Hero. I expect it'll enjoy great longterm stats. It's just so fun! Great to throw on for any occasion.

I totally agree! What's surprising is I didnt know Opalite was basically as big as Please Please Please om Billboard Hot 100 chart performance. There was a list that came out with the biggest popgirl hits on the Billboard hot 100 since the year 2020 and it was tied with Please x3 which really surprised me and solidified how big Opalite actually is! It's just obviously getting overshadowed by Ophelia and also its peak also didnt have everything alligning at the same time so ppl discredit it's #1 but it actually was genuinly huge and smashing alongside Ophelia for AGES before it finally got it's final big push to go #1.

You know what, this isn't doing that poorly!

We take our wins where we can when it comes to Lesbian Taylor

is it controversial to say that fortnight will have better longevity than anti-hero?

So, is Debutsus (TV) coming this Summer?

I am perched for the "The Fate of Opehlia already outstreaming Drop Dead on Spotify, why?/surprised?" thread coming soon soon. Popcorn is ready,

If we ignore Maroon, Would've Could've Should've and Dear Reader... you might be onto something.

Big missed opportunity to not make it the lead.

Ok but can you get a different gif? We're not on facebook.

This kills me I just want you...

THIS HAS CRACK IN IT

Come on Taylor, what are you waiting for to announce Ruin The Friendship as a single?

Ugh, it would be so incredible if Ophelia and Opalite both make it to 40 weeks on the chart. I'd be surprised if Opalite manages it (they're each hitting 31 weeks this week), but Ophelia should cross. They would be Taylor's 7th and 8th songs to chart 40+ weeks. The next closest female artist has 4.

A fun game for the base:

I made this thread about songs charting more than 30 weeks on the Hot 100. Taylor has Fifteen.mp3. In other words, enough for a studio album. I thought it would be fun to plan an era for this fictional album. Imagine you're Taylor Swift turning in your first album to Republic Records (in this universe we signed a good record deal from the jump), and this is the tracklist:

1. Teardrops On My Guitar

2. Our Song

3. Love Story

4. You Belong With Me 

5. I Knew You Were Trouble

6. Shake It Off

7. Blank Space

8. Style 

9. Delicate

10. Cruel Summer

11. Anti-Hero

12. Karma

13. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart 

14. The Fate of Ophelia 

15. Opalite

Make a 13 track album (with the track order you find to work best) with 2 bonus tracks. You may select 5 singles from the main album and one additional single from the deluxe (when the Target exclusivity contract expires, of course). You also must name the album.

Here's mine:

Album Title: Anti-Hero

Tracklist:

1. Love Story

2. Cruel Summer

3. Blank Space

4. I Knew You Were Trouble

5. Teardrops On My Guitar

6. Opalite

7. Our Song

8. Style

9. Karma

10. You Belong With Me

11. Anti-Hero

12. Delicate

13. Shake It Off

Bonus:

1. The Fate of Ophelia

2. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

Singles:

1. Love Story (August release, album in October)

2. Blank Space (November release, in this timeline the Christmas Freeze doesn't exist)

3. Delicate (February/Valentine's Single)

4. Shake It Off (April release)

5. Cruel Summer (June release)

6. The Fate of Ophleia (October release)

Honestly feels FOUL and EVIL to not release Style and You Belong With Me as singles, so not totally married to my own choices. Just wanted some more variety. I know people will say I should cut Shake It Off, but I truly love that song and would also want my weddings/graduations/any occasion anthem.

Since this is a first album, I'm automatically removing Blank Space and Anti-Hero that can't exist outside the context of a famous person, so that helps to make it to 13 tracks (yes, I took the easiest way to cut it down without having to overthink it).

Album title: Love Story

1. You Belong With Me 

2. The Fate of Ophelia 

3. Opalite

4. Karma

8. Cruel Summer

9. Style 

10. I Knew You Were Trouble

11. Teardrops On My Guitar

12. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart 

13. Shake It Off

Deluxe (released a year after the standard)

14. Anti-Hero

15. Blank Space

Singles: honestly don't know don't care cause even if she did everything I say here, if she actually did it I'd have something to complain about.

Hmmm not cohesive. May be a development deal and a songwriter's contract.

Immediately removing Shake It Off and I Knew You Were Trouble for bonus tracks.

Arranging in a way that tells a story of being a previously overbearing partner, who mourns the loss of young love, deals with some quick self exploration and acceptance, finds new love, grows into a healthy relationship. Anti-Hero is the shift in the album, so I'd name it in reflection of that.

Hi, It's Me

13. Love Story

The fact she's with Andrea makes me think she was trying on wedding dresses.

Elizabeth Taylor coming for 30 weeks on the Hot 100 (Taylor's 16th) is so

Even when she flops she wins!
