You know Asia tends to love has-beens from the US. And I'm just going with Scotty's book here. If with no smash singles, She can sell 4M. Then She should have sold more. 
You don't see me blabbing about the other songs by mainstream producers, because they are actually good, and still Taylor-ish despite their outfits. I honestly could go on and on about MM. In short: Scotty & Her took the short road in order to achieve success. And thankfully, it bombed. The problem with money, you can always have more.
The good thing from this phase? She became an underdog again.

Great read, from last year:

Hey Sexist Tabloids, Taylor Swift's Dating Habits Are Perfectly Reasonable
As you may have heard, Taylor Swift broke up with her latest fling -- One Direction's Harry Styles -- a few weeks ago. Tabloids and gossip magazines have been having a field day with this ever since. Timelines of her boyfriends, reports of the fight that allegedly caused Swift to bail on Styles mid-vacation, and, worst of all, a lot of deep analysis about why Taylor Swift just cannot hold down a relationship. Some articles have painted her as a shameless harpy, using and discarding men to drum up material for her music. Some have pondered why poor, sad, pathetic Taylor just can't keep a man. And some have decided to dish out advice where she never freakin' asked for it, thank you very much.
Now, we're not saying that Taylor Swift plays down her relationships or makes any attempt to keep them on the DL. It's a much-documented fact that she uses her break-ups for song material.
You get the idea...
So we understand full well that Swift opens herself up to tabloid speculation about her boyfriends. We're not objecting to media coverage about who she's dating and whether or not they just broke up, because she's clearly quite happy to be photographed with a boyfriend in public whenever she has one.
What does fill us with intense rage, however, are the stark double standards in media coverage of male serial-daters versus female serial-daters like Swift. In almost all the coverage we've ever seen about Swift's break-ups, she's painted as either a moody bitch, a jealous baby, a conniving *****, or a sad little singleton who can't keep a boyfriend -- and it's all her own fault.
When was the last time you saw a male musician portrayed as such a pathetic *****-bag for dating a lot of hot people? Sure, heaps of derision were thrown at John Mayer for being a womanizer, but he's never portrayed as a pathetic victim -- that's reserved for the women he dates (more double standards). And, if you think about it, the press didn't even really turn on him until he did that Playboy interview about his "white supremacist" penis. (Which was some next-level crazy ****.)
Where do people get off portraying Taylor Swift as a sad and lonely victim, while at the same time reporting that she's the one who seems to do most of the dumping? It makes absolutely no sense -- and that's before we even get to the part where she very pointedly tells her exes where to go, in song form. (We don't think anyone's laboring under the assumption that the Jake Gyllenhaal lookalike in the video for "We Are Never, Ever Getting Back Together" was an accident.)
The truth of the matter is, Taylor Swift is an extraordinarily successful 23-year-old woman with a heap of talent and not a small amount of beauty. If she dates a lot of dudes, it's because she's an extraordinarily successful 23-year-old woman with a heap of talent and not a small amount of beauty! If she writes a sad song after a break-up, it's because everyone is sad for five minutes after a break-up (this is how we know Taylor Swift is a real girl and not a conniving harpy). But these break-ups are clearly not devastating her life by any stretch of the imagination, either, or she wouldn't be able to dust herself off and move onto the next hot guy so quickly.
Why is someone like Harry Styles simply portrayed as a womanizer, when Taylor Swift is portrayed as a desperate girl, lurching sadly from one boy to the next, in search of her one true love? It's all about the genitals, folks. If men date a lot of beautiful women, they're having fun; if women do it, it's because they are somehow defective. It is absolutely mind-blowing in 2013 that this type of insanely unfair sexism still exists. The fact that it is rarely even acknowledged merely makes matters worse.
How many 23-year-old women do you know who are clambering all over themselves trying to find a husband to settle down with? We're going to hazard a guess and say: zero. So why would Taylor Swift be doing so? She has a lot of famous people privileges and she's taking advantage of every last one of them. She works hard -- why the hell shouldn't she have a little fun? Why shouldn't she have a new, handsome boyfriend every two months?
So, the world needs to back off Taylor Swift's love life. This stuff isn't complicated. Just like a lot of other young women, she's a serial-dater -- which makes her neither ****ty, nor desperate. If the labels aren't being applied to male musicians, we have no right to pin them on the female ones who behave the same way. Enough of this nonsense.

This is how the GP's mind works: 1 track gets a pass. 2 tracks means She's desperate. 3 tracks means She's a sell-out. Chances they will check out the LP past those 3 tracks? So small. Book me if I'm wrong.

Like i said, it's GP's problem.. Then i don't get this ''sell-out'' thing, i mean didn't she remix her first singles to send them to pop radio?? Our Song, Teardrops? I find this worse than doing a pure pop single tbh
Let's wait for the next album, she said that it will be different from this, so no more MM

It gives me a really uneasy feeling how she is simply conforming to pop trends. The MM are by no means bad but they just feel watered down and not how she would've done it. It just feels like cheap songs just to get hits.
I feel like this isn't what that little girl with a guitar envisioned. She always wanted to be a country musician. Not a pop superstar and tabloid-target.
You can just tell when you look at her country stuff, Safe and Sound, All too well, Mean etc. That she truly shines. Its all different and they all stand out. Theyre her own brand of country and theyre amazing. Then you look at WANEGBT or 22, again not totally bad, but it just feels like it isn't much different from stuff you hear on mainstream radio all the time
I really hate when people lump her together with the likes of Justin Bieber or Selena Gomez. Because she isnt like them at all. I'd much rather her be lumped with Miranda Lambert or Carrie Underwood. Or better yet, stand on her own. Shes the next Shania Twain or Faith Hill not the next Madonna.

I think we should wait for the re-release sis.
And yeah, the pop remixes were bad, if not worse. At least IKYWT sounds good at the first listen.

Bold 1 & 2 - Agree.
Bold 3 - Ew no. Not here for Her getting lumped to any form of mediocrity. Because no matter how they are being promoted, they are still mediocre stuffs.
Bold 4 - She said that Her heroes now are Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, and the '70s singer/songwriters. Shania & Faith are has-beens. Her role models are not and will always remain more relevant that your examples.
