crazy how Taylor is literally the biggest artist in the world yet her music videos still feel like such non-events 

Her no.1s this decade even felt like non-event 

Idk how the non-event LOVER is smashing hard like that

She's so mediocre at directing her music videos, they're basic and perfectly reflect her blandness, even Iggy Azalea is so much better at directing her music videos releasing most interesting visuals and concepts with much less budget.

I don't think Taylor is bland overall though, just when it comes to directing mv's

For those thinking Dance The Night is a bad debut :

it's actually her 4th biggest debut on Spotify 

 

And it did only less than 500k than Don't Start Now debut

She is much bigger artist now then when she released Don't Start Now. 

 

This comparison is like celebrating Born This Way, Roar or Hello opening with 10% less than just dance, california girl or rolling in the deep

DTN will be prominently featured in one of the most anticipated movies of the year. It will get heavy playlisting and strong radio support. She will easily snatch another 1B song.

This album is so great. I still listen to it every week. Truly her magnum opus. Night Crawling, Prisoner, Plastic Hearts, Angels Like You, Never Be, Midnight Sky, WTF Do I Kwon, Gimme What I Want, and Bad Karma are all excellent songs, 10/10. High, Hate Me, and Golden G string are not as good, but I would still not classify them as fillers. Overall, an outstanding album. I'm glad that it has decent streams despite its tragic debut numbers and rather mediocre reviews.

Dua Lipa is a hit or a miss in commercial performances. Anyone following her know this.

But when she smashes, it smashes hard and globally tbh. Only time will tell about DTN. 

Anyway it's a soundtrack song. I mean nobody went to her neck saying she's over when she flopped side projects songs like 'Can't They Hear Us' or Potion or Sweetest Pie.

But I think nobody is doubting she might snatch a hit long-term knowing her history.

We’re just saying that debuting with 2.9M streams despite being #1 on TTH and coming from a smash era doesn’t look good in terms of having a following… But we’ll see what will happen with DL3 lead.

Golden G string

This was my favorite ballad from the album tho, but i agree it is her best album ever.

[OreoÀDeux Pronounshe/him]

I think this will be yet another flop for Dua

DL3 will be a different story though
