Take a piss on the album all you want but The Fate of Ophelia is a good pop song and one of her stronger lead singles in a while. 

Agreed!  It’s stronger than fortnight, antihero, Willow and cardigan!

Well, we can all thank Taylor for one thing: proving once and for all that charts really are meaningless and not a sign of quality

album sales do not count toward the Hot 100

Thank you for educating those less intellectually fortunate.  

And for all the haters here:

you can't stop talking about her yet for some reason seem so surprised at her relevance.  Does that really make sense?

And the song is actually great songwriting.  It's hard to make a song so cohesive; it's rare to have a song that doesn't have weird awkward moments. It's hard to make a song flow thru sections so seamlessly.  The video is likewise a coherent masterpiece. 

Taylor's secret formula is understanding neurodivergent art and then translating it the creatively impaired neurotypical audience... who are the vast majority. 

She knows how to tickle their boring little brains so that they can get a taste of imagination they don't have.  She takes what Lady Gaga does and then feeds it to the idiots in a way that their little minds can understand.

that's dumb

If album sales counted for hot 100 they would equally disperse the points to all album songs, not just the lead single. People complain that "album bombs" are bad enough as they are without the added points

It's a weekly popularity chart, not the art police sweaty

That's why it's dumb

ngl idk how charts work because i thought this whole time why she occupied the top 12 spots was due to sales

Manifesting Abra hitting #1 on 9/2 right after Grammys week 1/2, taking both SOTY and ROTY, which happened to be 1 year after Abra anniversary 3/2

[dynamite 62,481]

Her achievements don't impress me anymore, whatever she does is basically guaranteed to smash and the quality really doesn't justify the level of success she has
