That is what America needs a Taylor Swift TV channel to complete a great 2016.

That clip sounds amazing. I can't believe I said that here.

The song is okay. Everyone is flipping out over it. I feel like it would have been a better song with Taylor solo. She sounds great on it.

Extremely boring, uninspired and lacking chemistry between the two leads so...I guess it falls in line with critics' assessment of 50 Shades of Grey LOL. Oh well.

I love Taylor but that song sounds awful. Unlistenable in my opinion. And who the heck is this Zayn character. I've never even heard of him.

Tay needs to watch out how many of these duets she puts out there. She doesn't need to sing a duet with every Tom, Dick, and Harry just because they ask her to. This track kind of damaged her brand in my opinion. The song flopped.

Maybe not commercially (I can't be bothered to check) but musically and artistically.

I'm surprised that "IDWLF" is really slowing down on iTunes given the fact that she has previously had some big numbers for her comeback singles (WANEGBT - 623k / SIO - 544k). Maybe it's because this isn't a lead single for an upcoming album, maybe it's because it's a collaboration made for a soundtrack.

I mean... it's predicted to sell about 188k this week with the number #2 song selling 68k. 2 years ago when Shake It Off came out, the #10 song was selling more than 68k.

I expected this to blow up way more cause this has 3 big factors behind it - The sequel to 50 - Zayn has so much hype behind him - We all know how Taylor singles do

Her last soundtrack single sold 112k first week. Perspective is key.

Rather than being released as a single, they should have saved this for use as a B-side, Deluxe Album bonus track, or perhaps even better a Japan-only bonus track.

Billboard finally mentions 1989 scanning 6 million copies. Also, Taylor is ~80,000 albums away from passing 30 million albums sold. 1/21/17 Billboard charts: www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7655130/billboard-200-hamilton-cast-album-james-arthur-taylor-swiftBillboard 200 Chart Moves: 'Hamilton' Cast Album Surpasses 1 Million in U.S. Sales1/13/2017 by Keith Caulfield — Taylor Swift, 1989 - No. 88 — In the week ending Dec. 29, Taylor Swift’s 1989 album broke the 6 million threshold, and its sales (as of the week ending Jan. 5) now stand at 6.005 million. 1989 remains Swift’s second-biggest selling album, behind only Fearless, with 7.08 million. In total, Swift’s catalog of albums have sold 29.92 million.

Taylor’s multi-week digital T10s: Love Story 19 Shake it Off 18 Blank Space 15 I Knew You Were Trouble 14 We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together 11 Bad Blood 10.5 You Belong with Me, Wildest Dreams 9 Style 7 I Don’t Wanna Live Forever 4+ Mine 3 Ronan, Red 2
Well, certainly better than Her other non-album-singles.
