Why are certain Swifties SO bothered with Lemonade's success
They thought Taylor was on top of the food chain but the release of Lemonade was a friendly reminder that Beyoncé will always be above her. And they can't handle.
Ummm...I have a love/hate relationship with Tinashe
I like her music but I can definitely see why people see her as pretentious...it's hard for me to put in words but her response to the VMAs for not nominating AHOD is prime example
Sidestory:
When she came for Spring concert...a lot of the drunk white boys said she couldn't sing and should just take her top off because she has big boobs and other people complained by saying her music is too samey (she performed the worst possible songs for a spring concert)
I actually think she was just trolling in a very non-obvious way and some people took it seriously lol.

I haven't seen any. I don't see any plausible reason to be. If someone might point out fallacies in certain things Hive members shout about, that would certainly not be the same thing.
Like the person above being obnoxious. Responding to dumb statements is about finding Hive members annoying, not about Lemonade.

I'm assuming this is Drake, and that's doubtful. For example, Self-Titled has sold millions in the US; Nothing Was the Same has not.
Right, but:
- 1989 had a smash with Shake it Off
- 1989 had WEEKS of high-level promo
- 1989 had a full week of sales
- 1989 had physical copies in stores (and a Target deluxe version)
- 1989 was released in Q4 of 2014, while Lemonade was Q2 of 2016
Not trying to diminish Taylord's slayage, but there were significant differences between the two releases.
Still can't believe Lana just sat in the studio and came up with Pretty When You Cry (objectively one of the best songs of all time) only with her guitarist. She's so talented.

They're just hiding behind Taylor now
B9 won't sell more than Lemonade's first day sales and they're bitter
My fave gave away a million copies of her album. My fave didn't perform at the superbowl. My fave didn't even bother to buy a banner. My fave is in your sig.
But why has your fave/our fave never done it in the past either ? 450k is supposed to be underwhelming but your fave/our fave has never been capable of doing it. So strange

A smash hit is PART of Taylor's success lol A smash that Beyonce doesn't have. And since when can promo be used against an artist when they are successful lmao. I understand going in on someone for selling nothing and promoting the hell out of their work, but the other way around doesn't make any sense.
Beyonce chose to release Q2, she chose to not promote that much, she chose to release in a way that doesn't result in a full week of sales and she chose to release no physical copies at this time. So how is any of that Taylor's fault for doing better than Beyonce
