She seems to be exploring new ground lyrically, so the lead single'd better be a non-break up song. And it also'd better not be about someone so that tabloids don't have a field day.
Giving her a more "feminist" and "independent" persona would be a great reinvention tbh as long as she still supplies the All Too Well-esque songs for the fans.
And not really. Many pop artists had massive global tours in the 90's. Touring was just as big back then
If you believe that.

If you adjust for inflation and ignore 360 Tour (unprecedented), they're not really that much different.
Madonna using the N-word (kinda pathetic since she's 50+ years old and has lived through the Civil Rights Movement) got more coverage (at least that made it to Wendy Williams) than 1D using the N-word. A biT embarrassing, n'est ce-pas?
But surely "I Want It That Way" only peaked at #6 because it didn't have a CD single right? No way a song that big wouldn't be a surefire #1, especially with the teen girls supporting them

I think with all the new female friendships she established in the past year, she should release a female empowerment anthem. It might work.
