^ I hadn't even thought about that, it does make sense in hindsight. Hopefully you're right and it's a sign that the worst of her mother's battle is behind her. I mean, obviously, we hope it's behind her, but realistically, any type of cancer isn't figured out and solved in a few weeks. I am sure she will be doing radiation or chemo and THEN hopefully the worst is behind her.

I'd say #1 is always the goal of any single release, but sometimes the label will put more effort into it. TO qualify, we should also note that it's more more difficult to come by a #1 these days than it was in the Teenage Dream era. "Style" performed just fine. A Hot 100 Top 10 should no longer be considered an under-performer for anyone these days. That Top 10 is expensive. This is a good point. Ever since the chart formula switch up a few years ago, radio is a bit less important to a Hot 100 #1 than it used to be. This works against post album release singles because sales and streaming are going to favor the singles not already readily available. Radio is more important to the post album release singles. If an album has been bought a lot or streamed a lot before a single's release, then radio is going to be the only one of the three it has much of a chance of going #1 on.

I am sure she will be doing radiation or chemo and THEN hopefully the worst is behind her. Honestly, it depends on what cancer she has and what type of tumor it is on pathology. Sometimes surgery can be curative, sometimes you need further intervention. Since they're being on the down-low when it comes to details, there isn't much that can be drawn but I would say it's not really a factor in affecting the management of Style. She did fly off to the UK and she sang Blank Space. She attended the Grammy's but did not perform, etc. It was probably a conscious decision. Moreover, a cancer diagnosis doesn't take long to take place so it is not unreasonable to assume it happened days before the tumblr post.

I'm sure "Style" will be performed next month at the concert festivals that Taylor will be at next month[BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend,Rock In Rio USA].These type of events require big setlists for all the artists.They perform on stage for about a hour. Yes Taylor is everywhere,I go shopping I hear "Blank Space" remixes or "New Romantics" and "Wonderland" playing in stores. Taylor's tour begins next month,usually in past eras things slow down a bit.We will see if it happens this era.

Seriously. All the buzz around this, and the fact that it's pretty much confirmed this is the 4th single, a video already shot for this.... But radio doesn't even bother to give this early spins like they did with Style?

I know some radio employees have said they've heard it or at least know who's on the track, but they're not in a position to play it. It would have been like playing "Shake it Off" prior to Taylor's live stream.

It's especially important to avoid if the remix charts separately from the original. They're going to want all the points to go to that.

I think radio should start playing this sometime within the next 2 weeks so there should hopefully be some movement soon. If the remix is going for adds on May 17th they already have knowledge of it coming out soon, so I'm hoping we start to see some action. That's 3 weeks away. Also...

RIAA certified Gold already, off an album that has sold 4.7 million. I'm guessing "Wildest Dreams" isn't too far behind since they've been hovering around the same positions on iTunes since album release.

I'm ready for them to officially announce this now.
Do we think the music video will drop on May 19th too? Digital release of the remix + music video = #1? Maybe? We can dream.

She isn't listed on their promos so I doubt she's performing.

We thought the same about Style at the Grammy's but yeah, you remember what happened. Plus, the BBVMAs would really need such an A-List Person promotion (Taylor) to attract a big part of audience. If we assume that she's having a surprise performance, the awards wouldn't have the promotion they could have, so I think Taylor isn't performing. I'd doubt if she'd even attend but she will be in USA at that time of the month and not attending would be awkward bc she will slay them all, and will probably leave with 8+ awards <3

The awards are still 3 weeks out - there's plenty of time to announce her as a performer. They would probably want to maximize buzz by announcing closer to the date anyway.

Of course she's attending, the point is wether she's performing or just dancing on her own with a million trophies

She's been doing a lot of award show attending without much performing recently, which is weird given that she's right in the middle of an era...
I'm shocked they haven't announced more about this as a single yet. It's weird.

Just two days before the Billboard Music Awards in Vegas,Taylor will be performing at Rock In Rio USA in Vegas on May 15th. There is a good chance Taylor will be in Vegas maybe doing rehearsal for both events.

She's nominated for, what, 14 awards? She'll undoubtedly be there, and I can't imagine she won't perform with that many nominations and that many times her name will be called. What the hell else other awards are they going to present on air if she isn't there to accept them?

I don't think Taylor needs to perform at every event possible, but this one just makes sense as it coincides perfectly with the release of this new remix. I hope she performs.

She still ended up winning a bunch.

She still ended up winning a bunch. Though, this was because of Adele's pregnancy. She wasn't able to fly to the states. But, yes, she was not present the year she got so many awards, and it was kind of funny as she almost single handedly made the show suck by not attending.

No she absolutely does not need to but I agree this one makes a lot of sense. I'm still a little confused as to why she thought it was a good idea to pass up a Grammys performing slot though.

Hasn't she been not performing because she is "preparing for her tour"? I still don't get why she didn't perform at the Grammys either. It would have REALLY helped "Style" out.
