The issue with this thread is we don't actually know from OP's numbers whether this was organic or not. It would've been better if he showed how much of this was radio vs. actual streams.

This is actually a great point people need to realize more. Yes, she's a billionaire. But it's not like she has that in the bank. And she'd likely never sell her catalogue.

I don't care that much. Google it

Also weren't there people saying they randomly got an invite and didn't even know Taylor or Travis. That is not intimate lol https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-wedding-guests-why-invited-1235589687/

Everyone saying they had to get MSG because of drones or helicopters or whatever — have you never been in a wedding indoors. Literally any building would work. Lmao

Who

What gets me about these (unhinged) threads is that these defenders are always the ones ironically bringing up "68 years old". Isn't that ageism. What happened to just evaluating the album on its own terms. OT: so what if it didn't do commercially well. It is a stellar album.

They also had the same number of videos…? Didn't TLOAS also have three singles if you count the cure and stupid song as singles. Opalite and ET have videos.

Olivia somehow in the center of controversy for both Sabrina AND Taylor, and is also tied to Chappell lore. That's a reset lol

This is the right answer

It wasn't even #1 in the hot 100. Choosin Texas has been #1 for almost 20 weeks. Would you call that a cultural reset?

It wasn't even #1 on IFPI or Hot 100 ffs the backfire

I don't get these reviews, this is easily one of her top 3 and very easily one of the best pop albums of the year.

I know I just said I've grown out of her but I can't help it The poster you're replying to has a bad take. For all her flaws, the bar for Taylor has always been insanely high for some reason. Point to another current major pop release (outside maybe Olivia, or the second half of CII) that's tapped into real emotional vulnerability as TTPD has…I mean, other MPGs are talking about butt sex (eg Sabrina in house tour) for crying out loud. Let's be real here. That said — parts of TLOAS are downright ghastly, like Wood. I truly don't understand what is happening now.

Unfortunately yes. Increasingly I am realizing I love her because of her earlier stuff.

She did the launch then ACL then Daisy Chain Fields then the tour. She'll be fine.

Dean's biggest factor is if they also nominate RAYE, as their musical profiles / demos are likely very similar. OR might split with Taylor at most...but Taylor's album was more divisive. It'll be an interesting year.

It's a marathon. Things are gonna change when she starts touring.

The thing is, if you look at the other collabs in the album, they seem very intentional and artistically driven. She's always had those — like in Madame X — where the choices were cutting edge. The Sabrina one actually seems out of place in comparison.

It actually fits neither album, because it's supposed to be tied to JFAD (which is a Gaga project)

Legends doing legend things with a legend song. Don't be weird atrl

It's the latest album by the alleged most popular artist in the world.

Here we go again Taylor didn't know about it / she was forced to / it was Jack's or St. Vincent's fault / Olivia did it freely / THERE WAS NO LAWSUIT there saved everyone 12 pages

Man this wedding is becoming really problematic. It's beginning to be a net negative. Maybe this is the (ex) Swiftie in me but I still maintain it's probably Travis who wanted the giant spectacle. But who knows. I can't imagine Taylor herself is happy with the aftermath.

I'm a Swiftie but I think this is where I draw the line. Bye Taylor
