If the they promised shipment "on May 30" then they could always ship it early if advantageous to them. Otherwise guess it's returning to #1 that week (if it's not still there).

Do we know if Taylor shipped the Fortnight physical singles yet? Wouldn't surprise me if her team strategically ships however much she needs each week to stay at #1, lol. She apparently sold 100k so could ship 20k next week, 30k the week after, etc.

Another thing I’ve noticed with so much of the criticisms, especially with the lyrics, are people taking things out context or missing the point and not realizing that and it’s amusing because it’s another reminder that whenever people speak about anything, they’re simply telling more about themselves rather than what they think they’re saying. It’s too bad so many are acting so superior over it. So many of the viral tweets making fun of lyrics just show people don't have reading comprehension anymore lol. I'll give them the Charlie Puth/golden retriever line but failing to understand lines like 'the asylum where I grew up' ("YOU GREW UP IN A MANSION!") or the "my friends smell like weed or little babies" ("JUST SAY SOME OF YOUR FRIENDS ARE PARTYING AND SOME HAVE KIDS IF THATS WHAT YOU MEAN!") is just... c'mon.

The Paste review reads as engineered rage clickbait to me, and Rolling Stone has been giving out 5 star reviews and "instant classic" labels like candy for the past couple years. Both reviews are best ignored imo lol
It's kind of become "cool" to hate her again because of how big she is once again, but like last time, it's a loud minority. I think blanket statements about how the general public have moved/are moving on are more than a bit hyperbolic.

All the signs were there but I didn't think she'd do the exact same thing again! Alas, good thing I have a 3 hour flight today to digest this album in full properly now.
I read the Epilogue on Twitter and that helped contextualize the album a lot for me. Shouldn't have commented before properly listening and digesting.

I care less about the length of their relationship and more that Matty is a shitty human being having love songs written about him including one calling out her fans for being against it, lol.
She does end up destroying him on “the smallest man who ever lives” so the arc is there but still a bit iffy on it all.

This is kind of how I feel lol, I'm really liking the album after a few listens but almost an entire album about Matty is a lot for me to digest.

This would not have been my pick for the single, but I guess Hozier is about to hit #1 so maybe this will do okay.

She has yet to have a real solo-write hit ever since she left the country days if I’m not mistaken. I was already thinking My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys might be the first or second single based on the catchy title, its track list placement, and having one of the only truly Gen z friendly runtimes. If she is out for a solo-write smash this era, then that would definitely lend more weight to that as a focus single. Lover underperformed at the time but has aged into a pretty big hit and staple for her.

Signed vinyls and CDs (of The Manuscript edition) are on her US store now. She's pushing for a milestone methinks.
EDIT: According to the store trackers, there were 10k CDs available which sold out in 9 minutes. Vinyls are sold out now too but they're not sure how many were available.

Debuting in the top 10 amongst an album bomb is huge for her!

Great video. I'll be honest, I couldn't understand what she was saying the first time I listened, but I'm obsessed now that I figured it out lol

Apparently its because she owns her own publishing rights.

Were the folklore variants ever available in-store? I think those ones were genuinely limited exclusives.
Since then, though, yeah, they've usually been available at retailers. The 1989 TV variants were indie store exclusives + Target had their own variant with a bonus track. Midnights variants were available everywhere.

All four editions, including the collector CDs which hadn't been brought back yet, are available again for 48 hours, lol.
