Yeah. I think she was comfortably still top 3 for females last year, only below Billie and maybe Ariana.

Yeah. I think she was comfortably still top 3 for females last year, only below Billie and maybe Ariana. In the US, Lover (2,191,000) was actually ahead of Thank U, Next in SPS (2,056,000), mostly thanks to huge sales numbers, and yes Billie's album was #1 for females (2,518,000). Overall, Taylor also finished second in SPS (3,810,2000) only slightly behind Billie (3,925,6000) and ahead of Ariana (3,411,600), thanks to Lover and a very strong catalog. These numbers came from Nielsen's 2019 report. |

And people really have the audacity to call this her "flop" era. 7 albums in. Let me laugh a little more.

Hey! I'm new to Pulse and I'm a huge Swiftie Just wanted to say she's been feeding us really well this era and I'm really glad she's embracing streaming Welcome to Pulse! We always love a new Swiftie!! I think coming off of the rep era where we didn't get as much also magnifies the effect of her feeding us really well this era. Also... not related to the Lover era or Taylor herself per se, but if anyone wants to support Taylor in a Pulse game I'm playing here's the link - it's basically just voting for matchups based on which song you prefer, so pretty easy to cast a vote: pulsemusic.proboards.com/post/7326128/thread (and you guessed it, I'm playing as Taylor! Help Ms. Swift clinch a victory here!) |

The way this era could have been such an event if she didn't prefer songs with sock value over quality.
"Cruel Summer" into "Afterglow" followed by "Cornelia Street" and wrapping it up with "Lover". Imagine the serve.

Imagine the serve. Even if she tried to play the radio game and still go for one shock factor song YNTCD Cruel Summer Afterglow or even I Think He Knows Lover Cornelia Street is my favorite but its not super radio friendly. |

According to kworb "You Need To Calm Down" is her most streamed single since "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" in the US on Spotify. Love the consistency this song has proven to have.
ETA: I think it falls just a few million behind both versions of "Me!" combined globally, but with an average of over 200-250k streams a day in the US alone it should surpass it very soon to become her biggest Spotify single globally since "I Don't Want To Love Forever" too. ❤

It’s funny to think about all the drama around single choices this era just to see Taylor be the top selling artist of the year globally. Only a Me!ga star can do that 😉

Kind of unrelated but I really hate manspreading as an example of male behavior that's evidence of entitlement/advantage. While egregious cases are, it's called biology folks! I wish my legs didn't need a bit of space between them too, but here we are!

I wish my legs didn't need a bit of space between them too, but here we are! I think it is less about biology and more about the idea of entitlement and the selfishness of sacrificing everyone else's comfort and personal space for your own comfortability that is the issue. A man, even with a penis, can sit with his legs closed (uncomfortable or not). As a trans woman with a d*ck who sits with her legs closed just fine, these men need to stop with the excuses. |

You can squish male anatomy all day long and it doesn't hurt. I guess women can't cross their arms either because of their breasts. |

She's going to be playing at the Capital One Jam Fest in Atlanta(it has probably been mentioned somewhere in this thread), does anyone know if she's going to do just a couple of songs(asking for a friend).

100 pages!
7~ months on and I'm still loving most of this album. I honestly think that Soon You'll Get Better is my least favourite, which is a shame because I'd love Taylor to try country again! That song just isn't it for me. Her slower, more emotional songs on this album are the ones I don't love for which is usually the opposite for Taylor.
