Congrats to Taylor! BTS takes the #1 spot, which makes Taylor the #1 solo artist and female artist. All her rankings:
2014 - #1 2015 - #3 (behind Adele and Ed Sheeran) 2017 - #3 (behind Ed Sheeran and Drake) 2019 - #1 2020 - #2 (behind BTS)
This means Taylor has been top 3 for 5 of the last 7 years and the top female artist for 4 of the last 7 years which is INSANE! True global superstar. I'm pretty sure she is easily top 3 for 2021 so far as well, although I don't have numbers on this.

The funny thing to me with this continued conversation are those trying to paint one side as being all bad while the other side is 100% innocent with no faults at all in how everything played out. That’s how I know when not to take them seriously lol

Yeah and tbh it's all just dumb because even the people against Taylor admit the joke was dumb and outdated lol. Let's just ignore it and the show and move on. This woman has like 6 Grammy nods this year let's focus on that.

woodvale cancelled we're getting reputation part two aimed at netflix.
(Tbh, I'd be more interested in reputation part II instead of folklore part III).

Taylor a 4th time the top female recording act on the planet, amazing! She should now have about 110 Million album equivalent units worldwide in consumption, the second biggest total of the 21st century just behind Eminem.

I hope she removes the rattling hi-hats from some of the reputation songs when she re-records. They were ok on some of them but on others I feel like they were detrimental.

I how she removes the rattling hi-hats from some of the reputation songs when she re-records. They were ok on some of them but on others I feel like they were detrimental. they’re very much a trend that wasn’t very tastefully used on that album. It’s a rare miss because Max Martin was responsible for a lot of them. I really want to hear what “Look What You Made Me Do” ends up sounding like.

I'm actually really curious as to how re-recording 1989 and reputation will work. They're the two of her albums that are most dominated by synths/drum machines/vocal effects as opposed to the mostly live instrumentation of her previous four albums. If Max and co. just copy the stems, would that be considered different enough to be a new recording? I have no idea how this works.

I chuckled this morning when I realized the Grammys were on 3-14-2021... of course those digits add up to 13.

If Taylor can win 3 of her 6 nominations she’d end up with a total of 13 Grammys I’ll take Best Pop Duo (exile), AOTY and SOTY please....

The Ringer Podcast is doing a series about Taylor's albums. There will be one for each album. The podcast about the debut is already out, and the one about Fearless comes out tomorrow. I would definitely recommend giving it a listen. The hosts talk about the music, but they also talk just as much about the entire era and what it meant for Taylor's career. It's a very fascinating listen, especially for someone like me who was not a fan during her debut era (I became a fan during Fearless era). Here's the link: www.theringer.com/2021/3/8/22318562/how-taylor-swift-self-titled-debut-album-put-her-on-path-to-superstardom

I wonder if this means 1989 is next on the re-release schedule.

I wonder if this means 1989 is next on the re-release schedule. the current fan theory (based on colours from a photoshoot and number of letters in her captions for them... or something idk) is Fearless in April, 1989 in June, Red in August, and Speak Now in November. And then debut sometime in 2022 i guess

I think she's clearly trying to monetize the s**t out of her re-recorded songs to spite the current owners of her masters, and demonstrate that future licensees should use her versions, not the original recordings, since they're just as good (I bet she's even offering a discount). Like she's never licensed her music for commercial use this prolifically before, and suddenly two of her biggest hits are in commercials in projects completely unrelated to her?
Go off Taylor!

Lol, you think? This is exactly why she is re-recording her previous work.
