Taylor Swift - The Life of a Showgirl (October 3, 2025) • Page 103

Yeah, a huge, huge percentage of people will just listen to whatever slop Spotify shovels into their ears. Reading the book Mood Music by Liz Pelly earlier this year pretty much cured me of putting any stock in any streaming-related listener metrics, and that includes the Billboard Hot 100.

 

Also, do we really care who comes out ahead in this particular battle? We're talking about Taylor Swift trying to keep her 13th number 1 hit on top of the charts for a fourth week, versus the song from a Netflix movie eyeing a return to the top for its ninth week. Not exactly a David/Goliath showdown.

 

Taylor being recruited for KPop Demon Hunters 2 as a main antagonist demon would go pretty hard, take all that Cats experience and expand

 

Lol yeah I was thinking of that concept even as I typed out the word organic. And I fully admit I am part of that. I want a song to feel like an organic hit that just became a hit because it's so infectious and great versus seeing the artist try so hard to get it to stay or hit number one.

It almost reminds me of when actors campaign for an Oscar. Everybody is doing it but once Melissa Leo goes over the top and obvious about it then everyone starts to cringe and complain.

Within a very manufactured and calculated industry, how can we try to seem the least manufactured and calculated lol

No one wants to see the man behind the curtain

 

weird to not even say what it is, or where to get it, or anything....

it's a remix you can purchase somewhere apparently

 

Well if anyone could have the money and means to have a song be directly downloaded into your head it'd be Taylor

 

Does anyone have any money left at this point?!

 

I lol'd.

 

Taylor isn’t thinking of my family smh

 

All of the acoustic songs are on streaming now

 

It annoys me a little as a type A person that she didn’t do a version for each song.

 

I guess it actually is on streaming

 

I’ve been hearing The Fate of Ophelia everywhere this week. The grocery store, the cafeteria at my office, the movie theater lobby, the ten minutes I was in someone’s car and they had the radio on. That did not happen with Fortnight.

 

Trump giving it a big push right now. Wonder how long she'll stay silent on that. Hmm
