    this is not an alt

    So she's doing less than 500k in streaming? That's insane

    Probably more than 500k in streaming and thats very good for 12 tracks

    Not only is her variant game pathetic for an artist of her magnitude, it also makes the playing field completely unfair for the smaller artists she pretends to care so much about.

    Artists with a shoestring budget don’t have anywhere near the financial capability to release as many variants and alternate editions as she does

    Where did you get the idea that she’s competing against any other artists?

    She did 700k last album from streaming alone.

    Name one artist that comes close close to clearing that with physicals + streaming combined this decade.

    Name one.

    You can’t because there isn’t one. You’re a little bit confused with who she’s doing this for.

    Man said it's unfair for smaller artists then named Drake

    He asked me a question that had nothing to do with what I originally said

    I never said SHE was competing with anyone

    I said it’s impossible for other artists to even attempt what she does because she has an unlimited budget and monopolizes pressing plants when she has an album coming out

    So Drake can’t even beat her streaming vs streaming

    Why are you complaining about her physical sales then? Drake isn’t. He knows not to put any physical out anymore cus he ain’t selling. He also knows to move the f*** out the way when Taylor’s dropping.

    Maybe you should learn to be like him & just shut up and take it.

    You misinterpreted my post and made this about something I never said

    Niggas really can’t read, no wonder you’re a Taylor fan

    I wonder what Drake would do first week in streaming with only 12 songs? Probably less than 300k

    No you didn’t because you thought I was saying Taylor Swift is competing with people

    I never uttered or implied those words

    All I said was other artists don’t even have the chance to release as many variants as she does because her budget is unlimited

    She's selling every single album she had pressed.

    Maybe you're thinking of Adele, who pressed millions of that flop album 30. They're still collecting dust on those Goodwill shelves.

    How Adele’s ‘30′ upended the vinyl industry and caused prices to spike:

    ? You know showgirl has 12 songs while clb has 21, but then decided to say TTPD which has 31 song as “500”. Funny

    Yeah but with no variants, deluxes, physicals, bundles, or a brand that’s trying to appease to literally the widest possible audience without actually stamping an identity anywhere

    Thats why I think this wont be her peak

    Her next album will have like 16 songs again with 2 deluxe versions with 10 new songs each and 50 variants

    That s*** going to sell 5 million fw

    “She’s selling every single album she pressed”

    I literally defended TLOAS earlier itt because someone said CLB had more streaming in the first week. Are you f***ing dumb or something?

    TTPD had so many streams in the first week BECAUSE of 31 songs you dumb f***. I was saying 500 to make fun of it
