Happy Mistake.

I'm curious about how much she would sell without the billion variants and gimmicks in her 1st week. 1 CD, 1 vinyl, 1 digital version, that's it.

People hate her because of her success. But she’s a good person

Gonna be honest, as unpopular as it may sound: after MAYHEM I would enjoy it if Gaga joins Mark Ronson without Bloodpop. I want her to create an equivalent to Harlequin with original songs. Some sort of Joanne and Harlequin hybrid with more Close to you's, Happy Mistake's and Just Another Day's.

it's still the 5th biggest week of 2025 every artist has multiple variants now, Taylor would still sell more that any of them.

old ass bitch

‘hear me fart’ variant incoming

The fact that this won't even cover the cost of caring for a kid with stage 4 cancer. Hope she's throwing some cash at the politicians trying to change the fact that families are crushed with eternal debt for the crime of having a sick kid.

A reach, she’s looking embryonic at most

And the PR machine is working. Please stop falling for **** like this. This is to repair her image... remember the Celine Dion pic her team magically posted minutes after she was flamed for acting like a greedy kid in a candy store? Give me a ****ing break.

the fvck is your problem? like, how pathetic of an existence does a person has to live to read a music announcement and think to themself "let's google this woman's name and abortion" and make a joke about it? Touch some grass.

She missed the opportunity to do dead dance randomly before she goes in the car

And the Happy Mistake erasure?!

So you're just going to ignore Hold My Hand existed huh

this just makes me appreciate how organic mayhem's debut and chart performance really was

looking 9 months old

Qtop 40 Flanders #4 (+1): The Dead Dance

Just make sure DWAS keeps its record for 1bn streams

The life of a flop girl

42M views (5.2M left to reach Disease MV)

And that little girl? Her name was Adolf Hitler. Not so sweet now, is it?

I mean imagine preforming your ass off every other night for a nearly 3h show

TDD has shown strong radio airplay around the world compared to Disease and Abra. I listen to the song at least four times on the radio while I'm at work (6-2). I live in Ireland, and TDD is not even on the top 50 here, but people seem to like it enough to keep listening to it on the radio. Radio has proven to give longevity and familiarity, which will at least stabilize its streams.

Vlaanderen been stanning hard this era.

I was front row GC left in Sweden and the view was awesome, but when she was on B stage we were looking at her back. But every time she passed by us on the catwalk it was surreal. And during Vanish she passed by us and signed our arms so I’m over the moon for that. I yelled “I love you so much” while she was signing my arm and she looked at me and smiled. Those 3 seconds are forever sealed in my brain 😭 I feel like the best position is directly center of B stage (although when she is on main stage she will be far away from you). I don’t know really 😂

perfect illusion era still has me by the throat... the high pony, booty shorts crop top combo is just perfect

If you dont like her just say she's greedy and makes bad music BUT this merch drama is too much of a reach... its embarassing

So…you have to turn it a different way than intended to get it? Cause that does sound like a reach 😂

And it is SO GOOD There's such a variety of sounds on this album but her production is peak and her writing is so clever and funny Listen to the songs and tell me what you think Music videos and visualisers: My standouts are: Full Frontal Trinkets Smoochie Girl Chinchinya I Want My Boyfriends To Kiss Sticky Fingers

She’s probably had it with coming back into contact with Patrizia’s flies

swifties really got swindled and cucked all of that for a desperate attempt at a record

Yeah probably more than 1m people. But it's also unclear how Billboard is filtering out sales. It says 4 copies per customer per UPC. So if Taylor has 4 versions, could an individual simply buy 16 copies via 4 variants and count as 16 sales? And since Taylor has Target editions, could they buy 4 copies from her, 4 from Target, and then digital copies from each platform as well? They try to tie customers to card info, IP address, and shipping address. But it's also unclear if this info is also segregated between retailers and filtered at that level or if they have to hand over all data to Billboard to filter. On top of that, Stan accounts are advising people to just use gift cards at physical retailers because it circumvents the customer being tied to the sale and thus allowing more sales per person.

It would still be above 1M. Billboard doesn't count more than 4 physical sales of a record per person so the variants only inflate the sales up to a point. She opened with 4m and there's no way 1m people bought 4 (or more) variants, so there is genuine demand that outstrips anyone else in the market. It would be fascinating to know how many individuals bought the album in the US. It is probably close to 1m.

She’s the queen of Easter eggs and hidden messages 💕

She also shops in the US, which has the highest prison population in the world (despite having only 1/4 of the total population of some other countries). The majority of inmates are used as laborers, earning as little as 13 to 52 cents an hour, or nothing at all in some states, while generating an enormous $11 billion+ annually. That’s modern-day slavery too I think Jay-Z’s business dealings with the royals there are the concern, not Beyoncé shopping imo

She's shopping in Qatar, one of the countries with the highest prevalence of modern-day slavery.
