Expertshe went on a crazy marketing campaign and embracing streaming unlike ever seen before at her level
public relationships etc
Dont get me wrong, she the biggest but it literally took someone like MJ and Beyonce to be all time great performers to win the audience at that level.
And even both benefited from being lightskin.
Now that I think about it, her beef with Scooter Braun likely played a much bigger role in her incredible comeback than anything else. I totally forgot about all of that
The way she used her PR to get all the white middle-American housewives to rally behind her was absolutely genius

Dec 6, 2024ExpertLol you don’t understand the cultural intricacies of America.
Taylor is a blonde and white just like Sabrina. They on different playing fields.
Even Weeknd would sell half if he was looking like Tyrese.
Didn't it take Sabrina like 8 years to score a top 20 album lol

mangotfluYes I am.
Taylor never streamed well, until only 2 years ago.
If she can do it, so can the weeknd.
Once again, I ask, are you seriously comparing Taylor Swift to The Weeknd?
