Pretty much ALL of the official critics on BEYONCÉ states very clearly that the impact and quality goes beyond the release strategy... check for yourself... but go on dear
Going back to the topic:
The only thing "thrillery" about it is its sales. Anyone who says otherwise are just living in a different dimension. This is Taylor Swift we're talking about
She can sell billions and she would still have nothing to offer music wise. It's just a "country gone pop" silly white chick selling music to conservative teenagers and their parents in Q4...
With a songs like Shake It Off or Welcome To New York, it should be considered a federal crime to put her and Thriller in the same sentence.
I applaud her commercial success. It's insane and we all should congratulate her and her power! But let's not get ahead of ourselves here. The article is clearly riding on hype... no one can deny that
