Sadly, come the next TS tour (especially one as big and culturally omnipresent as The Eras Tour), all these people would:
(1) pretend they never hated on Taylor;
(2) somehow get tickets WAY before fans who never doubted her;
(3) post her on IG stories once it’s “cool” to like her again;
(4) act like they’re the biggest and most loyal swifties ever;
(5) act like they have a say on every aspect of Taylor’s life because they’ve “been a fan since 2010” (as if they didn’t just discard and villainize her over LIES they so easily believed);
(6) re-infiltrate the fandom and be the first ones to “call out” the actual loyal fans and gaslight them by asking why are they “being mean” to their main faves (while their fandoms came for Taylor first and swifties are just responding);
(7) ask Taylor to “give chance” to their actual main faves (and slowly get mad as Taylor continues to refuse); and
(8) throw Taylor under the bus in the future once it yet again becomes convenient.

📈 | With only 11 hours of the MV counting toward the tracking day, Taylor Swift’s “Opalite” catapults to #2 on Global Spotify — ascending 37 spots with a whopping 6.21M streams (Feb. 6).

It surpasses her billion-streamer mega-hit “The Fate of Ophelia” for the first time ever.

[Taylor Crave @mainpopgirI]

@PopTingz So much d*mbassery for a “news account” lol it’s “insane” (as if it wasn’t Billboard/YouTube’s fault) BECAUSE your faves aren’t the ones who thought it first 💀

But watch it become the STANDARD for mainstream artists. Taylor is blazing the trail, and y’all simply have to follow.

[Taylor Crave @mainpopgirI]

Is it safe to say this is Taylor’s biggest chart achievement to date?

No, scratch that—is it safe to say this is the biggest chart achievement of ANY artist ever?

2.7M pure sales (US) during first day of release??? I can’t even fathom how ASTRONOMICAL and unprecedented this is.

[Main Pop Data @mainpopdata]

@avid_original You think we’re d*mb? Y’all really took the time to create a setup account and post racist stuff just to drag swifties? You’re really THAT desperate? Is racism a joke to you? 💀

Here’s ExpertMatriss dragging Taylor, and here’s YOU positively interacting.

GOOD LUCK denying this:

@SuziTrans @chartqata 1. Streaming platforms have safeguards to filter streams done consecutively, so you can rule that out.

2. Assuming a 1:1500 ratio, a person needs to listen to 1500 songs before amounting to 1 album copy. 1500 (non-spam) streams would take months — and time IS an asset/has value.

[Main Pop Data @mainpopdata]

@SuziTrans @chartqata Again, it's generally based on the actual revenue.

If the revenue of a stream is 1/5000 of an album, then sure. But it's not. In reality, it's much closer to the 1/1500 ratio.

These ratios in the formulas are not arbitrary/something that they pull out of thin air like you want.

[Main Pop Data @mainpopdata]

@JosephFanai10 You're not supposed to simply combine album units and song units using 1:1 ratio because 1 album costs much more than 1 song.

The formulas (the proper ones) are generally revenue-based.

[Main Pop Data @mainpopdata]

@chartqata Formulas for overall units are generally based from the revenue from 1 stream vs. revenue from 1 song sale vs. revenue from 1 album sale.
