Besides that, even if LL won't smash, they should stop caring about success and consider than fans who want music videos. #musicnotthebling

Hey GouldKaty, I love your sentiment, but sometimes, overexposure is a concern. Unfortunately, the media and radio focusing on another "medium hit," regardless of quality, can be pretty detrimental in the long run. She wants to stick around for a long time, while still having radio and corporate sponsors (barf, I know, but that's how it works now) trust that she will put out something that the masses are capable of liking. Like I've stated before, 2010 was a very different time. Then, four singles was the norm. Now, it's three--for albums that don't perform well out of the gate, sometimes even two. The point is, hype dies much faster these days, and albums don't have the same longevity. E.g. Timberlake had to release his album in two parts to release the amount of singles he did (because people would have tracks that were six months old), and even then, he probably released too many. Anyone that thinks Swift's album will last two years and score more than two huge hits without a re-release is reaching.
Plus, she doesn't really "need" another hit in 2014. I know everyone holds her to Teenage Dream standards, but having two huge hits is still a big deal in the current, fickle, and impatient landscape.
Queen of Christians!
