Oh wow. I thought max 250M 

[Fck I luv Art 885]

Well...

I'm not a hater, I like her discography,I used to listen all lot to her songs when I was 12 yo.... But now that I know that Taylor is that popular bc her father put a lot of money to make her successful, and that ppl act like "woooow she's amazing, she will beat the Beatles record, she's a self-made woman" is just a big no to me.

Some women in this industry truly got hated, ashamed,... some of them got traumas.... Duffy, Kesha, Gaga, and many other. But you can't pretend that this day, when Kanye stand up and said what he said at VMA Award, he wasn't in a way right to say that she didn't deserved it. 

Ppl pretend that she defend artist's salary by boycotting Spotify, but in fact she just once again impose your leadership on this platform. And no, Spotify still don't pay well small artists. She had advantages on TikTok, Spotify and even Instagram but y'all act like it is normal cause yeah "she's the music industry" which is super dumb. Music industry isn't only all about money.

Ppl even dare compare her to poets. I study poets, the real tortured one, they had terrible lives and they weren't that powerful. There's many great and famous songwriters such as Lana, Mitski, Hozier etc... But they doesn't get the same credit. Also let's be real, vocalists are more important than songwriters, bc they are the one which gives meaning to lyrics by using their powerful voices.

I listened to her album and I feel like she doesn't wants to progress in interpreting talent, it feels monochordous. Pretty lyrics but not impressing enough. 

I respect ppl who liked this album but to me it feels too commercial for me, and it borrows the codes of alt indie in a perverted way because it's falsely modest.

Numbers are impressive but it does nothing for me because the music isn’t good and there are 31 tracks. Sorry.

streaming farms have been working hard 

[MelbHawker 6,583]

I just don’t get the hype for it all. It’s just.. so mid?

[bim 371]

I’d be genuinely curious to know what percent of these numbers is genuine listening vs background listening vs fans streaming for numbers.

It’s unfortunate we can’t have real data around this considering stans will repeat streams without actually listening just to boost numbers. This applies to many fanbases, definitely not just Taylor.

A number I’d be interested in seeing for this is how many unique users contributed to streams and how this data compares to other artists.

I’m glad people love the album, it hasn’t grabbed me personally yet. 

[Naak Le Vaar 1,175]

As a swiftie, the albums hard to get into even for me. It's all very well crafted and executed, but 31 songs, most of which are some sort of ballad, gets hard to listen after a while. 

[Poltergeist 3,315]

I'm glad I've contributed to this number with my 0 streams 

[JesseX77X 66]

Y’all are such haters it’s actually disgusting and you all also don’t know anything about story telling or song writing… stay on the hate train tho while you are typing from behind a screen and Taylor is out making millions of people happy and making millions 💰

From 1989...

Love Reputation and Midnight

Like 1989 and Lovers

Admire Folklore

Don't understand Evermore and TTPD

 

 

No. We aren’t gonna slander evermore on this day. That album clears 90% of her discography 

[Teletubby 134,098]

there is something weird as Spotify has filtered out only 0,2% streams from this album.
Taylor's song with 25M streams has less than 200k streams filtered out while Dua Lipa had filtered out almost 300k from song with 3.9M last week; Sabrina Carpenter over 660k streams...

At least pick a good one.

I don't consider myself a conspiracy man but this one is so obvious..

Yes she’ll reveal she’s in a throuple with Melanie and Donald! It will be the first time there are TWO First Ladies! She will also reveal that she is the biological daughter of Ivanka Trump. 

and I'll  reveal that brainwashing is actually real.

 

Democrats are so desperate and they picked the perfect candidate that is not an actual candidate to run their campaign. I just can't wait for these elections.

It is, indeed, a very smart move. 

And her relationship with a football player, promoted in a very aggressive way... Totally organic 🤪
