I'm surprised her team didn't do more to push this to #1. I'm sure if she released signed singles or a dozen remixes like she has in the past this would've gotten there. I completely agree, but then of course you have people yelling about gimmicks and chart tricks, the thought of which is BS IMO.

Karma is most likely going to stick around in the Top 15 this week, by no means would she have reclaimed her crown.

Her two shows in Buenos Aires, Argentina on November 9 and November 10, respectively, are practically sold out (it says that there are last tickets to be sold in the queue for both of them), while a new date (November 11) has been added and it's selling now.

Her three Argentinian shows are sold out. There's a rumour that more dates could be added due to the demand.

Her shows in Latin America are going to make her even more popular over there. Her streaming numbers are only going to get bigger!

I know that a world stadium tour with multiple dates is exhausting but this one in particular is such a “career tour”. It’s no 1989 or reputation. I think, especially after the big break due to COVID-19, she should really make this tour her biggest one. I hope she adds more Latin America dates and then tours Europe and Asia until mid to late 2024.

So glad that her dalliance with Matty Healy is over. Surprised it hasn't been mentioned even once here, LOL, but I expect at least some solid music to come out of it, since I'm PRETTY sure that's what this was all about, anyway. :kii:

Pleasantly surprised, but surprised nonetheless.

Saw some screenshots on twitter that there are apparently like over 1 million people in the queue for the PRE-sales for the Brazil shows. I think if she did Indonesia and the Philippines there would be bloodbath on the streets here.

Her body will be ACHING afterwards, I’m sure. It’s a good thing she’s been spacing these shows out, because even for someone like her who makes it look so damn effortless, there’s an E on the gas tank. I don’t know how she’s managed not to hit the E yet. What a powerhouse.

I really do not understand how she has this much stamina to not only perform almost every weekend but to be in and out of the studio almost every day. It's exhausting to watch so just imagine what she feels lol.

It's exhausting to watch so just imagine what she feels lol. it is incredible, don't get me wrong. but billions of people go to work everyday, many of which do physically intensive labor. and they have to cook for themselves, clean their own homes, drive themselves, provide for their families and children on top of all of that. if I were in a millionaire's shoes, with no strings attached but her cats, I don't think it'd be exhausting at all to go to the studio everyday. her dedication to her craft and her business is absolutely commendable, no question. but I don't know if the pitying and babying is needed. lol

That's a level of physical strain that is up there with elite athletes. Other musicians have ended up cancelling their tours because even a normal tour puts to much stress on their body and especially their voice let alone Taylor's marathon of a tour (Adele, Bieber, Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Morgan Wallen are just a few) Increasing that up 4 is even crazier. The studio stuff is just impressive because people thought she would basically be on vocal rest for the dates between her shows.

This isn't a zero sum game. One can have empathy for a regular person working three jobs and also be amazed that Taylor is putting on 3-4 hour shows night after night. What exactly was the reason for taking such issue with the original poster's wholly unassuming comment? They were making a singular comment on Taylor's work ethic, not putting down anyone else's.

I just personally do not and find it unhealthy to view everything she does from an “oh my god, look at everything she’s doing for us, she’s working so hard! 👉🏽👈🏽” perspective. and I find added context to be helpful in this case. as i’ve already said multiple times, which you would have seen if you read my comments, it’s nothing short of incredible what she’s doing! I just find the “how does she do it?” narrative unnecessary, that’s all.

I'm less surprised/impressed by her stamina considering she is super healthy, in shape, her choreography is pretty tame, and she has been touring for years, and moreso impressed with the sheer amount of releases we've been getting routinely since Folklore dropped. That's an area I find impressive.
She does have a bit of a "fragile" image I suppose in the eyes of a lot of fans, but I doubt she's anything but fragile in reality. I was watching the "Swiftologist" on YouTube and he was telling a story of how in Rep's secret sessions Taylor showed them an image of her in the body suit featured in "Ready For It" and how the media was gonna call her a slut and she couldn't wait for the reaction, but meanwhile she releases things like "Me!" and is never so candid publicly. It makes me question if she specifically, personally thinks she has to cater mostly to the youngest demographic when I know a lot of swifties are in their 20s/30s and would love a more matured/raw/candid Taylor. I'd love more Reputation style authenticity going forward where people aren't just amazed that she dropped the f bomb. The woman is in her 30s. lol

If Taylor wasn't a multi-millionnaire, would you feel the same? Probably, but to a lesser extent. If she was a small independent artist (let's say... like Tinashe) that puts on incredible shows with choreo and stamina and gets paid dust relatively, and likely can't afford the same luxuries TS does (like flying on a private jet between shows to go to her nearest mansion available), I would probably feel less like people are being overprotective and infantilizing her. I think I'm more so approaching this from a labor perspective, and seeing as she's getting compensated extremely well for her job, I don't see the point in marveling at her... going to work. (Mind you, this is different from admiring her work. Which I do!) Unless you do the same for, like, your barista and contractor and cashier and nurses too. I just felt like making that point, not to be a "contrarian" or whatever. because everyone should know and remember this:
