taylor swift is such a mastermind for exposing this brat's hypocrisy. she released those voice memos not to block her - but to show the world that all of your faves are just as chart obsessed as she is.
and she walked right into her trap
2009 - mic was snatched on stage
2012 - became a lightning rod for slutshaming
2016 - massive hate train over a lie
2019 - her masters were taken away
The industry has always been AGAINST her side. But she always bounces back and is now bigger than ever and that's why you're mad
@PopBase
Kanye being dropped by every brands and lawyers as the same week Taylor is making historic chart achievements and cementing herself as a legend, crazy how the tables have turned-
sometimes we don't realize how insane folklore's numbers are. the fuck you mean a surprise-release alternative album got 80m first day? it truly kickstarted her 2nd imperial era
Since 2009, Taylor has been releasing soundtracks and they ALWAYS give a hint of what her upcoming album is gonna be like.
If this streak continues, then that means Midnights will be something like Carolina. Thoughts?
i just love seeing black twitter seething on how streaming numbers, album sales, charts, tour gross, acclaim, social media, and real world people all hail taylor swift as one of the GOAT while they cry "white woman!!! 🤬" behind their phone screens every day
"Billboard Hot 100:
#1
(+1) Anti-Hero,
@taylorswift13
[15 weeks]. It has now spent a non-consecutive 8th week atop the chart, marking her longest running
#1
hit, surpassing Blank Space (7 weeks) back in 2015."
A DREAM.
damn, i could really listen and watch taylor doing an interview all day. her intelligence and take on things are so incredible.
no wonder she stayed at the top of the game for almost 2 decades now and still reaching new heights.
using taylor's name in her interviews again for album promo after dodging all taylor-related questions as quickly as possible in the past two years
this woman is such a fame fucker
Olivia Rodrigo to The Guardian on fan speculation that some lyrics in "vampire" relate to her alleged fallout with Taylor Swift:
"How do I answer this? … I think it’s better to not pigeonhole a song to being about this one thing. I was very surprised when people thought that."
a daily reminder that taylor swift broke this major spotify record in 2017, two months after she just added back her catalog.
she has ALWAYS been a streaming force, don't let stan twitter tell you otherwise!
exactly. swifties are shaping this era up to a big disappointment because of their absurd "predictions".
no, Midnights won't debut 1 million units AND it won't do 100M+ on Spotify 💀 pls stop this madness.
@ZAN_93
@chartdata
@taylorswift13
There are only FOUR versions, and they're released in different *formats* (vinyl, CD, digital)— every artist does that.
The only extra stuff she did are signed copies & a cassette.
@ThisIsMeTanking
i really didn't expect this much boost considering it's just on some baguette khia arena but whew. eras tour is really one for history books
so in the past three weeks, taylor:
• blocked rihanna from hot 100
#1
• shattered adele's pure sales this decade
• outstreaming drake in his release week
• took most of ariana's streaming records
@LAHXLLUClNATlON
and he also produced melodrama, folklore, and nfr. jack fits his production based on the artist's vision and not the other way around. midnights will be great 👌
@TChartSwift
so basically, if eternal sunshine & ttpd were released on the same week - ttpd will still get the whole top 8/9 damn. but user
@nastyswtt
told me that this album is tanking and "everyone" hated it. what happened ☹️
@soul7btss
@PopBase
@taylorswift13
for a western artist, yes. 1M likes for an album announcement is extremely rare for them, even for her so this is a good sign of hype.
@attentionforari
taylor wrote 100% of her music since day one and that's why she's able to re-record and OWN them. meanwhile ariana does NOT and that's why. hope this helps.
wasn't feeling it at first but this morning it just hit me how good this is. it radiates so much classic, timeless vibes and i think this record is heading to be another career-defining highlight.
The cover of "Midnights" actually looks so ~aesthetic~, understated, and visually pleasing. It fits the concept that Taylor's projecting (based on what she's written thus far), and it literally exudes "cool album" energy — more so when the official tracklist is finally revealed.
@ULTRA4LlFE
this is a planned interview, not a live one. this means she and her team can choose which parts of the entire interview which ones are included and not on the final article. jesus you are all naïve.
@tayebsunshine
sadly those hypothetical 7 albums would barely sell 200k first week and be forgotten after a year just like the rest of her discography 🙁
@minieskies
the difference is that willow was fighting xmas songs flooding hot 100 (aka the most competitive chart season) and was the most streamed *non-holiday* song of that week.
meanwhile jimin's song fell because it's simply fraudulent and not even in top 30 most streamed this week🤷♂️
@slut4cokezero
@HRHCOLLECTION
a reminder that rihanna is a product of trends who barely writes her music, cant dance and sings average, basically literally have nonexistent music talent whose discography other than ANTI is 90% trash
@Avel_Sweetener
1. those lyrics are MID at best im crying
2. no one believes ariana wrote that herself
3. in conclusion, TTPD > ariana's entire discogprahy
because the truth is, taylor swift is actually one of the least problematic celebrities out there and they want her downfall so BAD that any chance they think she makes a misstep/mistake, they jump on it and hope it drags her down.
too bad for them, that's never happening.
why are people so obsessed with taylor swift "being wrong"? I get not everybody has to like her but actively trying to paint her as this horrible person in EVERYTHING that involves her is just weird
@agspacepov
posting about major VMA nominations and billboard articles? her slay! unlike ariana who posts cheap chart data tweets on her instagram every two business weeks 😭
@everhoaxx
nah but this is true. the chokehold she has on book & film world is crazy. that's what happens when your discography has a vast & diverse array of classics.
@amazingmomo_
Fortnight (1 version) — 600+ points, strongest
#1
on Hot 100 in many years
yes, and? (262627 versions) — 271 points, one of the weakest debuting
#1
in history (already out)
in conclusion, stay out of taylor swift's business.
@nastyswtt
@TChartSwift
you know damn well that even without radio airplay, she's going to occupy it 🤷♂️ just like she did with midnights
aaahhh god its so funny seeing you grasping at straws and just throwing arguments with no basis cause you got clocked fr 😩
This woman really is the epitome of white feminism. It's crazy how well she weaponizes it to shield herself from any VALID criticism such as ruining a family. She shouldn't be given a platform at all.
Ariana Grande on media and tabloids during her interview with Zach Sang:
“We selectively remember that this is what the tabloids do to people, especially women, based on whether or not we like the person… We selectively leave space for humanness, for nuance, they don’t leave
welcome to another episode of black twitter and their "we, the main characters of the universe, do not listen to taylor swift so how is she so successful?" weekly tweet:
@everhoaxx
keep in mind that these are the same fandoms who drag taylor for "mass releasing & desperate" when in reality they're just jealous about how taylor is so much productive than their faves lmao
@ThisIsMeTanking
and this is why TTPD needs to be a genre shift or lean into a different pop sound (if it's pop). another jack antonoff synth pop album would be a fucking disaster

@taylorswift13
1. "All credits" is not a thing, nobody except Stan Twitter recognizes it.
2. Taylor took of her albums for three years during her PEAK. Those re-recordings only made up the streams she lost during that period.
3. Cry.
@wildonegrande
@ThePopTingz
no official charts recognizes "all credits" because that's not the proper way of counting streams.
billboard, spotify, riaa only recognizes "lead credits".
@dingcalypse
In terms of raw album sales only. But all factors considered (streaming, charts, touring, social media presence, star power, and longevity) late 2022-2023 Taylor's popularity is unrivaled.
@backtosmgx
the "fallout" rumors have been around for years and she chose to address it when her album is about to come out? are you 12?
and i promise you no one here is complaining about her not talking about tay anymore. we dont really give a fuck this wanna-be's opinion of her
"commercial success will never equate to legacy" and neither does twitter vibes. taylor swift IS and WILL be the most remembered musician of the 21st century in the real world and nothing you say is gonna change that 🤷♂️
@ThisIsMeTanking
ICDWABH being this successful is kinda an anomaly. i need an actual explanation what's about the song that makes it this much beloved 😭
@ThisIsMeTanking
this aint even about sales/streams anymore but i just miss pre-reputation times when her eras actually had a lot going on instead of just tiresome one week promo and dipping
@amazingmomo_
@PopBase
@tylerdern0
swifties are about to make taylor swift the first artist in over 30 years to sell 1 MILLION vinyl in one week. trust me they're fine

@raptalksk
nah dawn fm is a great album. i know many wouldn't get it on the first few listens but once you do, it's so addicting and you realize how incredible the album concept is.
@theerastouricon
@ThisIsMeTanking
wait i just realized that the song is basically about the eras tour and this thread is just us talking about how everything eras tour touches turn into gold 😭 lmfao
@mayuresh25joshi
@UniverseIce
lame excuse. it shows the fluidity of the movements of stuff inside your phone and they all contribute to overall user experience.
@TMlovesRED
you're right and i agree but we all know stan twitter doesn't operate behind logic. regardless if she pulls 3x more numbers than their faves the only thing they'll focus on is the fact we claimed she's breaking this and that record and ended up didn't.
