Taylor Swift said Ed Sheeran is obsessed with how charts work

[Tiny Purse 1,145]

like she's right about him but she also releases a million merch bundles and FOUR editions of her album...like come on....

[Madling 1,981]

What's with shade? Most of you are obsessed with where Gaga charts too.  So Ed is interested in something to do with the industry that he works in... Oh noooo!!!! What a shady egotist!!!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄  Y'all sound ridiculous and majorly hypocritical.

Because he makes music to chart not for art

Well are any of really surprised?

#1 Shady for Taylor to publically expose someone like that who is supposibly her “friend”

 

#2 im not surprised cuz a few years ago on an interview he himself said he doesnt wanna be like those artists who after a few years stop listening to marketing advice and strategies and then flop

 

so this kind of reinforces that tbh

[StrawberryBlond 14,899]

Is there any proof she actually said this? Sounds fake, not really something that she'd say. Seems way too harsh for a friend-to-friend comment. But even if she didn't say it, we know it's true!

Love how she exposed him

A true friend 

Thanks for introducing me to this amazing gif! This gave me a much-needed laugh and this is now officially in my top favourite gifs of all time! I also searched for it using the GGD gif function and also found this:

Laughter really is the best medicine for me right now!

Girl i like you but I'm not buying it 

She meant by including tickets, T shirts and other merchs.

Well he's chart gold so I'd expect him to know how it works. We stan music and the bling.

...or have 4 different versions of the album and have 18 tracks that can be streamed.

they still buy her album though, not t-shirts, not concert tickets, but you tried 

[DeleteMyAccount 11,881]

I mean Taylor... You released multiple versions of reputation at Target... 

I will say that this only proves that the charts are irrelevant today. There's really nothing that special anymore besides bragging rights.

Reputation World Tour;

"The more points you get, according to the terms of the program, the higher your chance of getting a ticket.

The way to get points, however, is infuriating Swift fans. On Swift's site, fans can collect and "boost" their points by watching the singer's music video, signing up for her email list, or by purchasing her album or merchandise.

You can get points for buying up to 13 copies of her album and for buying her merchandise. And the merch is expensive. She's selling $50 T-shirts as well as $60 snake signet rings, like the ones she wears in the "Look What You Made Me Do" music video."

 

Honestly this is just good business. But let's not pretend that she's above all this when the Reputation Era has some of the most cunning  money making scheme by a contemporary artist. Ratting out her friend while placing herself on a moral high ground is what makes Taylor so unlikeable.

Can't believe I am defending Ed but I don't get how this is an "exposé" (since he isn't ashamed of it and said it himself) or something to mock him with. If stans spend hours talking about charts and are able to bring charts facts from 1990, being obsessed with it, why shouldn't the principal concerned?
