Before ARTPOP was released or the era began Gaga's fans were all very cocky and excited saying about how ARTPOP was going to sell more than Born This Way and bring Gaga back etc. but it ended up being her lowest selling album and put her career in even more danger.
Taylor's fans are also bragging about how she will open with 1 million copies but considering she's going for a more pop direction, she will effectively be alienating her loyal country demographic. Will this be her ARTPOP?
The fact I'm from the UK is irrelevant. You obviously lack brain cells if you don't realise that country fans will be one of the biggest demographics for a country-pop singer.
