Not gonna lie if I was Taylor Swift and every release is a major smash I would also keep releasing stuff until I have 694 #1 albums

Just watched Miley performance and she was so cute, melted my heart

Taylor has tasted the blood and perfectly understood the streaming era 

She knows she is immortal now so she secures a huge debut via variants and in long run streams gives her longevity

Its a win win for her 

Apparently her new album has sold 100k vinyl in 1st hour and her team already has 1M vinyl stocked and im sure they all will sellout

In our favs case they left the industry in such a transitional face, the repurcussions of which their next record will face 

Pure sales are dead and they have put zero efforts to build streaming power or attract younger audience who prefers AM/Spotify

Thats why their youtube numbers are good yet the recent releases tanking on Spotify

 

Adele could not survive streaming era for same reasons and those unsold 30 vinyls are polluting the sea now 

You have to consider the demography and scope esp in streaming era 

An album like cheek 2 cheek cant survive in streaming era neither joanne

 

Current scenerio are changing so fast and streaming is becoming more and more relevant so you easily become a forgettable face in 4 years no matter how relevant you are

The streaming era is broken. We need to reset the entire industry, because its BROKEN.

Taylor knows a backlash is brewing bigtime... that's why she's milking this moment for all she possibly can, and I don't blame her for it. And let's not forget that she was a major decline when Lover came out. But she reacts quickly to the changes in culture (unlike Gaga and her team) and released the PERFECT album (folklore) for the pandemic and gen z sads.

Chromatica lyrically was perfectly on trend, but the dance music was sonically VERY dated (the Free Woman instrumentals still make me cringe). She should have pivoted and released a ballad/stripped-down version of Chromatica and everything would have been different. But instead she pivoted to vaccine/WHO activism which just didn't have any impact whatsoever and instead alienated all the success stans she just gained back with ASIB.

She needs a team that can work FAST and understand what is happening in culture right now, and pivot if things change... QUICKLY.

Not everything is about advancing a musical career.

Gaga has said multiple times she cares about her art (music, movies, philanthropy) making an "impact" on culture more than anything else. Nothing she did 2020-2024 has made more than a splash in culture except for Bloody Mary and House of Gucci.

[Matteo Remondi]

The post of the announcement has more than 12M likes in 12 hours literally insane

Yes, but raising money for WHO and helping with Covid has an impact too girl.

Streaming era has removed the scope of over exposure

Scooter should have brought her catalog in 2010 or something

Now all you need is streamed after a good debut 

A good album if have album tracks getting nice stream there you go you will have longevity

Nobody needs to do live shows and huge singles so that people buy a copy of the album at walmart

These re recordings would've left charts in 30-40 weeks in 2010 times

I feel like her debut album was in a very good path (specially for what it was) but the other oned have been very lackluster. Perched to hear her next one anyway

[Ayobabylon PronounsHe/him]

Lady gaga has 6 albums meanwhile taylor has released 8 albums in past 4 years 

She is putting all the music industry and work ethics into embarrassment

if I was her peer id be punching walls

If only her music was good.

[Ayobabylon PronounsHe/him]

The sad part is that gaga took 4 year gap for hauslabs yet her brand is still khia 

Meanwhile brands like rare debuted after her and it already is the best selling brand all over world at sephora beating fenty

Collecting $600M revenue a year 

I think we all are in a circle with her under some curse
