Happy 36th birthday to the iconic Taylor Swift.
The 14x Grammy-winning superstar, who debuted in 2006, has taken the world by storm era after era, and record after record. Her impact has ranged from her songwriting talents, which landed her a Songwriter Hall of Fame nomination in her first year of eligibility, to the phenomenon of the Eras Tour, which is the highest-grossing tour of all time. She is the first artist in history to hold the entire Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 multiple times, which no other artist has done once. She was named TIME’s Person of the Year in 2023 and, this year, broke the record for biggest album opening in Billboard 200 history when her twelfth studio album opened at four million units. She also gained ownership to her first six albums and now fully owns her entire discography, which boasts four Album of the Year wins — the most for any singer ever.

GUDEA found that many posts linking Taylor Swift and ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ to pro-Trump views and nazism came from a tiny cluster of bot-like accounts, Rolling Stone reports.
Many claims originated on alt-right forums, like 4chan, before migrating to bigger social media apps.

disclaimer I haven’t listened to a Taylor swift song in like 10 years but I’ve just seen so many brain dead takes on this albums success that I gotta say something lmao
billboard only counts 4 physical sales per customer and 1 digital sale per week fyi and her building a fanbase (off of music) dedicated enough to actually PURCHASE her music should be nothing but admired
yalls favorite artists fake their STREAMS and do not actually SELL shit lmao and yet she’s being clowned for building a fanbase so dedicated that they BUY her music. yall are fucking idiots and have the game backwards 😂
Taylor didn’t sue her. It was an ex paramore member and olivia just credited to prevent future problems… jack also said he was surprised they got credited- stop this false narrative and check your sources
