These other fan groups crying about Taylor allegedly "blocking" other artists on the charts need their diapers changed so badly. I'm sure Jack would agree. 😂 The music industry has always been competitive, and it's so crazy to hear younger artists like Billie Eilish making passive-aggressive digs that have to be about Taylor (i.e. the whole thing about three hour concerts). It's like, seriously, grow up and stop acting like babies. If you want to be as big as Taylor, you're gonna have to work your butts off like she does and stop crying about her success because she's been in this business for a lot longer. She's been doing this professionally for almost two decades. She's paid her dues in this industry and worked her way to the level she is at right now. On top of that, she's truly a unicorn. She really IS in her own category. She's like the Simone Biles of the music industry, and it's made a whole lot of people envious.
Billie had her highest charting album in years. She should be very happy. I like her but expected so much more of her. Also Taylor has NEVER said anything negative about another artists craft. She may have said something personal. Taylor had Charlie open for her during her 1989 tour. Charlie said in a snarky way she felt like she was singing to a bunch of teenage girls. She put down the show. Taylors fans were older than they are now. Still young though. If one of the biggest artist in the world asks you to open for them when you haven't made it yet is a privilege. It gives you exposure. If someone doesn't like Taylor's music that is no big deal. But she gets more hate than any other artist, especially ones who have never even listened to her. So many people seem to forget most people like lots of artists. The internet seems to bring out the hate in people. Oh yeah, the number one spot switches, no one stays there forever. Taylor is on the biggest tour in history and put out a new album so of course she is going to promote it. She added a new era to the concert for the new album.
A lot of jealousy and envy in the music business. For folks who say they love music, they sure get twisted if they aren't #1 right away! In their minds, there is no way they aren't #1.
Happens all the time with reactors. Not always twirling, but constantly playing with tresses. Our girl tries hard to stop herself. No biggie! I'm just curious because my hair is short.
It's 100% their fans getting butt hurt that their artist couldn't even touch number one even if Taylor wasn't there. So they have to find excuses and someone to blame, and that happens to be Taylor unfortunately. It just shows how childish they truly are if they actually think that anybody is blocking somebody from another streaming position. Streaming numbers and sales don't lie, us swifties don't f around 😂 they're simply jealous that they cannot keep up
Sympathy is a knife is really good. But I do think it is about Taylor but mostly comes from Charli’s insecurities. Charli tweeted “sympathy is a knife” on April 19, 2024. Same day as TTPD release date.
I TOTALLY saw this where Denise Welch chose Kelly’s Twitter comment to magnify and give her 2 cents on🙄 Ironically enough, while reading Denise’ response, I noticed a link to ANOTHER article from YEARSSSS ago, talking about how Taylor appeared and performed on the show Denise hosts to perform LOVE STORY while doing promo for the Fearless album. I thought that was 🤯🤯🤯 Who is to say Taylor and Matty didn’t meet during this time and kept in touch?!! I also remember reading an article that Taylor had actually invited The 1975 to open for her on the Red Tour but they were already booked and declined. So I am no longer buying that they met for the first time when she attended that first concert….
I’d also like to add: if Taylor would have never written that open letter to Apple Music back in 2013/2014 addressing streaming platforms not compensating artists on streaming platforms… Billie Ellish AND Charlie would not exist. Both of their numbers come from streams, not pure sales. Give Taylor her flowers!
I was a little gutted nothing happened on the 100th show being from Liverpool and the show being at the stadium I used to work at😅 Ive been a fan since 2006 never did I think she would come here haha! Was a delight being on the floor N2 for this is what you came for 😍
Instead of a Brats summer, Taylor Watch might want to have a Taylor summer as this could be the last intense daily/weekly Taylor content for the next 6 months. Oh, and the Chiefs did their ring ceremony that Taylor entered Mecole Hardman’s gf live stream from Liverpool extremely late before a show. Being the best ‘significant other’!
Another important thing to note is that album variants are not a new thing at all. The artists with the highest record for variants are pink Floyd and the Beatles. All male. The only reason people take issue with Taylor doing the same thing is because of sexism - no one ever noticed it and took issue with it until it was working for a woman at the top
I’m guessing she announces rep(tv) in London,makes sense,it’s where she hid after the Kimye shit,she wrote the majority of the album there. I could be right,I could be 100% wrong,we’ll see. Joes NYT interview was fine,but his daily mail interview where he insulted her song writing pissed me off.
4:14 Well there yall go thinkin' again... smh Was hoping shed do nothing for 100th just to slap some sense into ppl thinking everything is an egg or having 1001 theories on shit. While also stoping rumors about more eras dates. Some ppl will never learn or chill but hopefully a few took something away from it. 7:15 Def. intentional. I think MANY songs throughout MANY years/albums that ppl try to put a single muse to are actually "swirled" with numorus muses, emotions, events, thoughts, trumas, ect. from HER life. Also written in an extreme or hyperbolic way, like many great writers do.
It was funny listening to the conversation on here about how Taylor is just so far ahead that a lot of people are going to get "blocked" no matter what she does and when music is released. I'm not a big fan myself. It's just not my type of music. I am a big Chiefs fan so I check in on this stream once in a while just to see what's up with her and my boy Travis. If you all listened to any of the sports shows after the Super Bowl, it's a similar one to what the ladies here were saying about Taylor. There are a lot of great quarterbacks that have entered the NFL lately that just have the bad luck of being born when they were so that they hit the NFL at the same time as Mahomes. He will end up blocking a lot of them from either ever winning a Super Bowl or from winning as many as they might have if he wasn't there. Two different people with two very different lines of work, but the same result. Their presence just takes a lot of the shine away from others in their line of work. They're not being cruel or intentionally trying to drag others down. Hell, I don't know enough about how Taylor talks about other singers, but Mahomes goes out of his way to praise his competitors. Buy just by being who they are, others appear to be less in comparison.
9:49 my problem with joe that he mad ppl asking him about Taylor as if anything else going on like bro have 30min total screen time an that not just because the breakup even before I’m sorry but he is Z lister he wouldn’t even get that interview if he didnt have all that with taylor cause what would they ask him?
If those people did not want to compete with Taylor for the nr 1 spot they should look at their release dates. Charli releasing her album in the middle of Taylor's UK tour is just bad timing. Billie releasing it less then 4 weeks after TTPD got released and the week after the restart of the Eras tour is just bad timing.
Other artists and athletes are not asked to "dumb down" their contributions to their sport or art/music. If someone is prolific in writing, they don't stop because someone asks them to quit.
You just can’t fix stupid. Then they complain about it. Hun, it was a stupid move. Learn from your mistakes. That’s what I have to say. I’m a woman and my female boss every day for 15 yrs told me I had to be smarter, have a thick skin, be tougher. My god. If you want to succeed…. You have to want it. Taylor wants it more, is willing to work more, harder, longer, to be better, get better. It’s all she ever wanted and all she ever worked for, she gave her life for this. If others don’t work as hard, and aren’t as smart, then sorry. Taylor’s brain power will win every single time. She follows no algorithm.
Having been interviewed by journalists before, they definitely don’t allow subjects of articles to have a say in the name of the article, and it is generally considered a journalistic ethical breach to let you review the article before published. And the authors don’t even get to name their own articles, someone else in the process chooses the title afterwards (which is how they often come off more click-baity than the author’s writing). So definitely can’t assume he “allowed” the title, he likely found out with the rest of the public and was displeased but couldn’t do anything to change it
Labels depend on their top artists for revenue. Usually they lose money on the majority of their roster (some will get projects shelved or dropped from label). At one point, Big Machine made 80% of their revenue from her catalog, She recouped her work (advances- if not, she wouldn't be able to do re-records). Her former manager gave an example of a contract for sales: label- 85%, artist- 15%. Artists pay back advance out of the 15%- expenses are paid from it and they have to live off it.

I don’t really understand this language of *blocking the artist* and equating that with malintent. she is a competitive music artist, she would do this to ANYONE, it has 0 to do with personal relationships. her job is to stay on top. i’m so confused.
also…i agree with the hundredth show being a let down…I feel like Taylor is at the point where she’s having way to much fun being a troll, and i’m sure it’s fun for her, but i’m finally at the point where it’s no longer fun for me. i’ve also made the choice not to livestream again hoping for an announcement.

Couldn’t agree more 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Taylor would've been #1 even without the new variants. Her streaming numbers (despite being over a month since release) were stronger than Charli's.
A lot of jealousy and envy in the music business. For folks who say they love music, they sure get twisted if they aren't #1 right away! In their minds, there is no way they aren't #1.
"God forbid a girl wants to twist her tassels." I need that on some merch. 😂
Happens all the time with reactors. Not always twirling, but constantly playing with tresses. Our girl tries hard to stop herself. No biggie! I'm just curious because my hair is short.
I am so here for this!😂🙌🏻

I’m so happy she did Crazier & This Is What You Came For & Carolina x NBNC
Thank you for shouting out Kevin!! @TSHockeybro He is the best!

No way. There’s pictures of them partying before that. They shouldn’t lie and make it worse.

This. Right. Here. 👏🌷🌼🌷👏
you guys didn't talk about taylor joining a chiefs WAG's livestream on Thursday during their super bowl ring ceremony!!!
Even with the time change messing with her sleep.
I was a little gutted nothing happened on the 100th show being from Liverpool and the show being at the stadium I used to work at😅 Ive been a fan since 2006 never did I think she would come here haha! Was a delight being on the floor N2 for this is what you came for 😍

I'm confused. Before a show? Wasn't it halfway during the night? I'm undoubtedly just confused!
Yes! I was like 3am where she was! She is epic. Her last message was “I have to go to sleep. It’s so late over here. I love you guys” 🫠

Well said!!
Good response. No one is asking Simone Biles to not try so hard to win at Olympics so others have a chance!
Thanks for shouting out our guy Kevin aka hockey bro!
Sent Kevin Venmo. Told him you all gave him a shout out. During vigilante he takes his shirt off. He’s all in!
Yep. Sent him venmo last week. That guy is a gem.
Your losing me was done in Australia ❤
Gia playing with her hair as she talks is me 24/7😂 *no hate* it’s so funny seeing other girls do it when I know I do it all the time lol

She played ‘you’re losing me’ it at my show Melbourne night 1
Love watching Kevin! :)
So that fan made it to a show just to bitch about it yet many of us are in fetal position 😢

I think celebs have more control over articles written about them than you think
Kevin does gods work!!❤

Also Charlie wasn’t even close she was #3 so even without those versions
she played loosing me in melbourne for the first time
@kelly I hate it here X The Lakes 😥😥😥Immediately thought of you
I don’t really understand this language of *blocking the artist* and equating that with malintent. she is a competitive music artist, she would do this to ANYONE, it has 0 to do with personal relationships. her job is to stay on top. i’m so confused.
also…i agree with the hundredth show being a let down…I feel like Taylor is at the point where she’s having way to much fun being a troll, and i’m sure it’s fun for her, but i’m finally at the point where it’s no longer fun for me. i’ve also made the choice not to livestream again hoping for an announcement.
You forgot the Sabrina's Rolling stone interview. You need to read it on here. It was really good.
Travis got his Super Bowl ring and Taylor stayed up at 3 am to watch online.🩷
