^According to Billboard, never- on either Top 40 or Hot AC, where it's headed for top 10 debuts on both.

If it's not record-breaking, it's not a Taylor Swift era. Yas, Lord! Get that top 10 debut on Top 40 and HAC.

Wow, what an impressive start.
Don't like Taylor much at all, but this song is great.

What are some examples of this happening (just curious as I know literally nothing about the country chart)? The Country Mediabase chart is based on a points system, not a straight up spins or airplay system. It's really ridiculously easy to manipulate, so it's essentially a revolving door at the top. It's extremely rare that a song gets into the top 3 and *doesn't* hit #1, but quite a few of these songs get a fairly astronomical push from their labels to secure the #1. This week, for example, Tim McGraw's "Meanwhile Back at Mama's" is getting a sizable push to attempt to secure a #1 on Mediabase. Today's update alone saw it gain 172 new spins over yesterday, and 1.1 million in audience. Last week, Arista/Sony attempted to secure a #1 on Mediabase for Brad Paisley's "River Bank", but their attempt failed, even though by Sunday Brad's bullet was over 800 spins (these numbers probably seem small by pop standards, but are very large for country). Miranda Lambert's "Automatic" and Eric Paslay's "Friday Night" also saw really drastic leaps to #1 on Mediabase. (None of the four examples I've given have hit #1 on Billboard's Country Airplay - they've all peaked at #2 or #3, which is likely more indicative of where they would have had they had a 'natural' peak). Hope that helps. :) It does very much so. Thanks! I find that interesting

Holy s**t, a top ten debut on Hot AC?! Yes!!! In case anyone is curious, the previous record occurred in 1994 when Jon Secada's "If You Go" debuted at #13 (when the chart was only 30 positions). The record for the 40 position chart was held my Maroon 5, whose "Payphone" and "Maps" both debuted at #15.

I've been obsessed with this for the past 2 days. The chorus is annoyingly catchy and is such a great sing-a-long.

She absolutely MURDERED it at the VMA's. It's all about Beyonce, of course, but she dominated that stage. The way she walked off of stage and carried herself with so much confidence gave me so much excitement and high expectations for this era/upcoming tour. It's going to be a big pop spectacle and I cannot wait.
Also, vocals were great! And she looked incredible (on stage, off stage she was a disaster :X)

No artist has a platform that big and just "wings it". lol With that said, the performance was cute and served its purpose.

I'm not saying she should just wing it, but there was nothing organic about it that let her personality through

So Deadspin posted a video that isolates her vocals from last night.
While people are misinterpreting it (they seem to be confusing isolated live vocals with pre-autotuned studio vocals) and ignoring the context (the performance isn't meant to be isolated from the backing track and background singers), there is no denying that there are some really hideous spots. The note when she comes back down after the comedy bit is particularly awful.
That said, she ultimately sounds better and more in tune than people are saying. I think there's a shouty nature to her vocals that is throwing people off, but it's certainly not as technically bad as you'd think if you just read the comments.
