She's even still rising in the US for some tracks!

A random gc of former coworkers starting texting about the songs twenty minutes ago and everyone loves Cleveland!

Also, Ophelia's performance is really next level. The way people would be GAGGING if any other artist did this twenty years into their career, but it's just another notch in the belt for Taylor . If she gets number 1 on IFPI I'm posting hole.

Patient Zero is actually starting to sound like a SMASH! If the video is as good as it looks (and the length of the song) we may have another big fat hit on our hands.

For a deluxe track . They way her US only numbers would be enough to be the biggest deluxe debut of all time by a wide margin. Basically indisputable that she will go down as the biggest act in American history.

Wow, she SMASHED. Psychotic update. I love how mad it makes them!

What thread are you in girl? Quickly.

Patient Zero doing more in the USA than Twilight Zone did globally and this is supposed to be a flop? The self lashings…

Damn, I'd be mad too!

People in here trying to drag whose fave's will never see these numbers in their Wildest Dreams.mp3. When you add context, she absolutely slaughtered the old records despite streams collapsing overall since they were set. Literally no other way to characterize this than a slam dunk success. Hate the music all you like, post Pitchfork. Trying to drag the performance is utter delusion.

Taylor Houston was seen!

And what about her doubling Ariana? This is by far the biggest debut in history for a deluxe track. No context is more important than that in evaluating its debut. 2023 and 2024 streams were also much higher.

Edit: Twitter automatically translated this for me, didn't realize it wasn't in English. For those who need the translation: Taylor with any ex: climbing condom son of a ***** liar piece of **** ill-born bastard taylor when she remembers tom hiddleston:

I feel like this endless discourse is tricking a bunch of Swifties into feeling like they have to agree with some of it in order to seem reasonable. I'm sorry, but I just don't! I'm supposed to endorse a narrative that she is creatively regressing when the album just before this one is TTPD? And the one before that is AOTY winning Midnights? I'm supposed to believe her checks notes SONGWRITING is regressing when, in 2024, we got So Long, London, But Daddy I Love Him, Fresh Out The Slammer, Guilty As Sin?, loml, TSMWEL, The Black Dog, The Albatross, Chloe et al., I Hate It Here, ILIPW, Peter. Some of the best in her CAREER. All this insufferable discourse because she released one album that, for her standards, was mid. An album that contained her biggest and best pop song released in the 2020s, her biggest 2nd single since Blank Space, and gems like Father Figure and Ruin The Friendship. Tbh, I think the best thing that could happen for her and us is for things to feel a little smaller again. All these seemingly endless lashings and yet the fanbase never seems to shrink at all.

Spill of the century.

I was patient zero

Girl, yes, context for these debuts matter . Just absolute obsessive hater goggles to suggest otherwise. This will be the biggest debut ever for a deluxe track. And it will be more than double. Ariana's Twilight Zone did 5.38, Olivia didn't crack 5. Both were released when streams were much higher in general.

Another one in the casket! Inb4 someone tries to drag this. Seems about right for a deluxe. Olivia's Vampire did 9.8 million and Obsessed did 4.91. Taylor won't get to quite that ratio, but the raw numbers are so much higher. Her snatching the biggest day with four new deluxe tracks is so gaggy!

End that Hermione Granger traitor for me, Taylor!

Would we expect anything other than Patient Zero possibly getting the biggest debut of the year? Is that BTS currently? Just looked and Swim did 14.5 million streams. I'll be real, I'd be a little underwhelmed if she couldn't reach that threshold. Didn't IKI,IKY do 10? With that said, I think deluxe tracks are just a different animal.

Kinda need the album to do more than 45.3 million

I truly have no idea what to expect from Spotify tomorrow (the way the OTHs will attempt to lash when she doesn't break the all-time record), but this seems very promising? I'm hoping for 15 million for Patient Zero.

This domination for a deluxe is…kinda insane? Ophelia is probably inching close to #5 with both versions combined. Opalite coming for the top 10

The funniest thing about this "creatively bankrupt" drag is that her 10th studio album won AOTY and her 11th studio album is top 5 in her discography . The TTPD hate was VERY clearly detached from the quality of the work and time is already proving to be the ultimate truth teller there. OTHs clinging to the (still positive!) initial response. Like when you zoom out and look at the last four things she released before Showgirl they look even stupider.

I did this immediately last night! Also so I could loop them more easily
