@beyoncegarden As someone who as been using public transit in LA for ~15 years now…this happens A LOT! It actually is such a problem. I’ve been late to work so many times because of this. AND another doesn’t come for a LONG time.
The more I think about the @lizzo situation the more it pisses me off. Cause men get accused and proven of FAR WORSE actual nefarious things and go on to sell millions and play sold out shows. One false accusation in passing against a black woman and she’s done. Crazy!!
@t_jamesreagan@cb00ne7@Iomlttpd@billboard You’re arguing something that NO ONE is complaining about. No one is saying not to improve or tweak her work. I’ve heard of artists adding a song the week before release. THAT IS FINE! What’s not fine is selling something claiming it is one thing, and sending out something else.
@t_jamesreagan@cb00ne7@Iomlttpd@billboard Wow. Got a whole ass empty skull don’t you? The full completed work is the one the fans want. The streaming version that you are praising is what they want ON THE VINYL THAT THEY PAID FOR!They didn’t want to pay for a rough draft.
@t_jamesreagan@cb00ne7@Iomlttpd@billboard AND I DONT think Olivia sat there and was like “how can I scam my fans” I think it was a horrible mistake by her label/distributor. Once Olivia submits the album, it’s pretty much out of her hands.
@t_jamesreagan@cb00ne7@Iomlttpd@billboard Its actual fraud to say you are selling a ~52 min vinyl and than actually only have it be ~48 mins. Imagine paying for a large drink and only getting a medium. You’d want the money back wouldn’t you?
@t_jamesreagan@cb00ne7@Iomlttpd@billboard That’s fine that this allegedly occurred. If that IS the case, It should have been disclosed before the completion of the sale so, what you deem low IQ consumers, would know what they are spending their money on. AND if the time was adjusted the price should have been adjusted.
@gavbreakfavtoys Okay but hear me out!! A ~week before TLOAS was even slightly hinted at someone posted the booklet and it was EXACTLY THE BOOKLET AND EVERYTHING! just saying
@SwiftCraft13 I wonder if it’s because it was “printed” a while ago and they made changes afterward closer to release that didn’t make the original cut? Either way they should have disclosed that
The problem with this fandom is they want their fave to INSTANTLY be Taylor’s coequal (and even has delusions of surpassing Taylor).
To be the “most successful woman in the industry”, you need to be *the* most successful artist OVERALL on the planet. To be able to match (or even surpass) Taylor, you would have to surpass:
- Billie, Sab, and Ariana (ALL her *current* peers, not just one, and not just in a specific metric)
- Bruno, Beyoncé, *and* The Weeknd
- Morgan, Harry, *and* BTS (the 500K debut territory on Billboard 200)
- Drake *and* Bad Bunny
- Adele
- 800K debut territory
- 1M debut territory (which Taylor has *long* surpassed)
- 2M debut territory
- 3M debut territory
- 4M debut territory
You would have to be the singularity, *the* biggest star alive, the industry-shaping, era-defining, needle-moving figure that Taylor is, just to be able to match her. And you would have to OUTDO that if you ever wish to become “the most”.
Instead, this fandom wants a shortcut and couldn’t even be bothered to go through all these ladder steps they’ve yet to climb and instead secretly wish that Taylor would just pass her crown and willingly hand over the keys to the kingdom, to let their fave absorb the astronomical chunk of the pie that Taylor has cultivated throughout her career, as if it were an inheritance that they can demand for their fave anytime they want.
Know your place and put in the work, ffs. The music industry is not a charity.
@arianalife0 TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE MOST IN DEMAND ARTIST ON THE PLANET! whether you like her or not. That is the case. As of now she will always “get more” of everything. It’s not hard to understand.
@LaertesFrump Like it’s actually so stupid for you to expect Taylor to release her work around anything but her own schedule. Do you ask sports teams to not play because their colleagues game is happening at the same time?
@LaertesFrump Someone can put out a bajillion different albums on the same day, that doesn’t mean someone will buy them. Stop being bitter that Taylor can sell. It makes zero sense for her to step aside or withhold her work because someone else is releasing music?
@arianalife0 Cultural impact/significance and what the album has accomplished for the music industry plays a major role in who gets votes and nominated
