I don't get why people want OOTW as a 4th single.. If she's following Red's single releases, then the 4th pop single would be OOTW. That's not a summer song.

19SL89's now expected to sell 2 million US copies in her first 3 weeks - with the #1, #2, and #4 best selling weeks of the year.
During the digital era, the most placements in annual T10 selling weeks lists are 5 for Susan Boyle's I Dreamed a Dream, and 4 for Adele's 21.

GU posts are fun. The way he grasps the English language is just so wonderful.
Just like Taylor herself, a true poet.

Fearless sounds so fresh right now.
'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless

Speaking of the tore tho... tomorrow morning  I better snatch good tickets this time or I will have a meltdown.
European fans are so lucky, they can probably get front row seats on Groupon the day before the show (assuming she visits their country)

GU's threads are hurtful but it's healthy for Taylor's status on Atrl. The amount of positive threads about The Lord ha philanthropy and slayage gets balanced out with a little bit of negativity

If we've learned anything from current #3 song on iTunes "Blank Space", it's that it's important to take back the narrative.

Lord being local is just facts.
Taylor is still my #1.

Unless "Blessed Space" sells a ton of copies it won't be hitting number 1. No Spotify stream.

Savan Kotecha tweeted this to Perez in response as to who to believe over Spotify revenues

@PerezHilton Taylor! If me or any writers showed you our royalty statements from streaming services you'd be shocked at how little they pay.

Spotify getting eviscerated in the media over the Taylor royalties contradiction. Don't they know that everything Taylor does gets reported WW?

26 mil for the "Blessed Space" video. We still have 3 days left until the track week ends. Keep streaming. I need it to reach 40 mil by midnight Sunday.

"Hey, Stephen" is about Taylor's crush on Stephen Barker Liles, the lead singer of one of her opening acts, Love and Theft. Taylor says she texted him the night Fearless was released and said: "Hey, track five." Coincidentally, he had also written a song about Taylor called "Try to Make It Anyway."

Streams "Blessed Space" has right now should already be enough for #1 on Hot 100. Being local is not always bad.

That Time Magazine article is pretty impressive. Don't get it confused with the free snippet that Time also published, the full interview is worth a read.

The Spotify dustup made one thing especially clear: more than anyone else, Swift knows how to create albums people will pay for. According to Nielsen SoundScan, Swift was the nation’s best-selling artist in 2008 and 2010 and No. 2 in 2012, the last three years she released albums. There’s every reason to expect her to finish No. 1 in 2014. Her first-week figure of 1.287 million copies sold for her new album, 1989, bests any album’s sales week since 2002’s The Eminem Show.
Swift and Eminem have something else in common: the two are the most successful writer-artists to break in and sustain such levels of popularity since the 1990s began. Among her pop peers, Rihanna and Miley Cyrus lean far more heavily on outside songwriters, while Lady Gaga and Beyoncé haven’t matched her sales. Swift is the only artist to have three albums sell a million copies in their first week since 1991, when SoundScan started keeping track. Before 1989, she sold nearly 70 million digital tracks. Billboard named her its woman of the year for 2014, the second time she’s received that distinction in the award’s eight-year history. Her last tour grossed $150 million–the biggest tally country music had ever seen.
I have very few female role models. That scares me sometimes.” She says she looks up to Mariska Hargitay, the Law & Order: SVU actress: “She’s one of the highest-paid actresses–actors in general, women or men–on television, and she’s been playing this very strong female character for, what, 15 years now?” Swift once gave Hargitay and her husband a ride home from an Ingrid Michaelson concert; she later named her cat Olivia Benson, after Hargitay’s SVU character.
No one in music has captured Swift’s admiration in the same way. It’s not for lack of talent; it’s instead a matter of the challenges female artists face as they age. “I just struggle to find a woman in music who hasn’t been completely picked apart by the media, or scrutinized and criticized for aging, or criticized for fighting aging,” Swift says. “It just seems to be much more difficult to be a woman in music and to grow older. I just really hope that I will choose to do it as gracefully as possible.”
Arturo Buenahora Jr., the former Sony/ATV executive who first signed Swift, says that even at 14 the singer would decline the help of 40-year-old men with long track records of country-hitmaking success. Ryan Tedder, who has written and produced songs for artists from Beyoncé to U2 and wrote two songs with Swift for 1989, noticed her focus too. “Ninety-five times out of 100, if I get a track to where we’re happy with it, the artist will say, ‘That’s amazing.’ It’s very rare to hear, ‘Nope, that’s not right.’ But the artists I’ve worked with who are the most successful are the ones who’ll tell me to my face, ‘No, you’re wrong,’ two or three times in a row. And she did.”
She writes, at her finest, with a poet’s delicate touch and a dramatist’s nose for conflict.
collecting admirers from an older generation with its own songwriting bona fides. Kris Kristofferson, Bruce Springsteen, Dolly Parton–all were wowed by Swift’s craft and poise. At her best she can write stories like Joni Mitchell’s and set them to melodies as memorable as Pharrell’s. But she can also sell like Abba, traverse genres–proving stronger than the format constraints that have strangled scores of high-profile artists–and attract an audience that seems more vast and more loyal than any other artist’s.
Carly Simon says “I wouldn’t compare her to Joni Mitchell, Carole King or me. Onstage she’s a showman, sort of like Elton John.
Swift’s fans shimmied and shivered, anything to ward off the evening’s chill, as they gazed up at their queen while she looked out over her new, vast kingdom.
Ryan Tedder -
“If anyone else’s bloodstream has trace amounts of Red Bull, hers does,” he says. She told him that she loved the ’80s, and she wanted snapshots of every era of pop from her life. Most important, Tedder says, Swift said she wanted him to ditch every notion he had of her sound. “There is no country on this album. Pretend I’m this new artist who just needs to make this album that defines her career,” she told him.
