They also gave The Lord them streaming points which could secure her #1 debut on the Hot 100 next week so it's really a win-win situation here.

I think it's just a shock for some people to see the love/hate with a Taylor single and THIS much attention, but it just comes with the territory. As soon as she made it clear she was going pop, the floodgates were opened and now she's going to get just as much attention (good and bad) as the other pop girls. We just kind of have to learn to deal with.
