🚨| “The Fate of Ophelia” did not re-enter this week’s Billboard Hot 100 despite more than doubling its previous chart points.
Fans are seeking clarification on Billboard’s rules and whether chart manipulation may have occurred.
@billboard Care to explain why songs from 'The Life of a Showgirl’, which didn't even go recurrent, didn't reenter the Hot 100 this week when they definitely had enough points to reenter? What's your beef with Taylor???

.@gthot20 We are opening this space for you to explain what is happening in this hot 100 update, otherwise, we will interpret it as manipulation. All of Showgirl's tracks are eligible to its current rules. There is nothing preventing the re-entry of Ophelia or tracks that have only been on the chart for 15 weeks.
Ophelia experienced a resurgence of more than double the previous points and would enter directly into the Top 15, as was the case with DtMf and Daises recently.
Some album tracks from other artists with far fewer chart positions charted this week, but lacked a strong presence on streaming platforms or in sales.
I eagerly await a response here, by email, or even from Taylor's team, whom we have already contacted.
taylor calling dolly parton “the ultimate showgirl” while accepting video of the year has been sitting in my brain all week because suddenly the album title feels less like a costume and more like a lineage because a showgirl isn’t just sequins and a spotlight. it’s the woman who keeps writing, keeps reinventing, keeps walking back onto the stage until performing becomes part of the mythology of who she is and hearing taylor use that word for dolly while standing there with the life of a showgirl as her own latest chapter felt like watching her point toward the kind of artistic life she still wants decades from now. maybe that’s the real showgirl dream: not being seen forever, but still having something to say when everyone is looking.

The way she brought the receipts on Zachary… I’m actually screaming,The Swiftologist switch-up needs to be studied in a lab at this point.
This video cleared the whole "superfan to bitter critic" pipeline so accurately
It’s like he has a personal vendetta against Taylor now, and his comment section incites hatred for Taylor. Nobody has ANY excuse to follow or listen to him. If you do, and think he’s okay, feel free to unfollow me now because I will be blocking defenders. This is disgusting behavior.
