The SWIFT CLOCKING when her predictions started at 500k 2 weeks before the album release, 600k 1 week before album release and pretty much went up 1k every single day of the week of release 
Then all of a sudden this wasn't risky at all?

Actually I said it, but even looking back and realizing some of the hate Taylor was getting from casual country fans when she was winning awards for "You Belong With Me" and such, it should have been obvious that her base wasn't going to be affected that much. This is the same women who was winning VMAs against Beyonce and Gaga, being nominated for pop awards and had a big #1 on pop radio before all of this.
But making this Taylor vs. Katy/risk thing is stupid because so many country artists have transitioned to pop, even if it were just one or two songs and were accepted. Transitioning to a pop sound is probably the easiest "risk" one can take. Usher making "Scream" and all those other generic songs after making sexy sleek R&B was not a major risk either. If Taylor had done something Hip Hop-influenced or alternative-sounding - something that's not necessarily aimed towards mainstream audiences, I would be more inclined to think her move was one that was risky.
he really owned her like a possession, Britney teas
Taylor has never released an obvious career killing song like Birthday. A musical kamikaze is anything but safe.
I also got to visit the house where Steel Magnolias was filmed. Dollegend
