Gaga wasn't going to sell like hotcakes so it's irrelevant who she's sharing the charts with. She seems more invested in delivering a critically acclaimed album this time than a commercial darling, judging by her casual-as-fuck promotional campaign so far.

Besides, we all know Taylor was going to crush anyone in her path whenever she released. A new album tends to perform depending on how the last album was received, so she might be coming for Adele's record this holiday. :O

[Bridge]
Live to love you
And I love to love you
And I live to love you, boy
Live to love you
And I love to love you
And I live to love you, boy
Nothing gold can stay
Like love or lemonade
Or sun or summer days
It's all a game to me anyway

[Chorus]
(I like you a lot)
Putting on my music while I’m watching the boys
(So I do what you want)
Singing soft grunge just to soak up the noise
(Blue Ribbons on ice)
Play them like guitars, you're like one of my toys
(Cause I like you a lot)
No holds barred, I’ve been sent to destroy, yeah

There's speculation that Taylor Swift is dropping her album this month. As a fan of 1989 I have to say I'm here for it. And apparently she's always released in October?

With no lead single? Only a greatest hits would be treated like that
or a live album

Taylor Swift is tricky, who knows what she has planned.Tbh I think she missed her window for a large album opening in terms of sales. Her favorability ratings have tanked a bit since Kim K exposed their private convo, and people have caught on to her lead single victim playing theme. Plus I believe a lot of her fans have grown a bit since her last album and have moved on to newer, less bland artists. Time will tell, we shall see.

You have to remember that Touchdown stans Mooriah, an artist who literally gets by on the leftover coins from an XMas song made over a decade ago.

She is getting by quite well with or without her legendary yearly charting song written, produced, and sung. She could honestly "get by" on just the money she makes from other artists singing and re-recording the song every year. She'll be back in the top 10 charting higher than Gags and Swift on Billboard this December as per.

I agree for the most part. She should have put out a single after Calvin Harris, however now she probably has to change her entire album now since it was probably based on him and presumably being married.

My favourite release of her so far. Moving away from boring and predictable tracks focused on being a power vocal showcase.

I wasn't expecting to like Ailee's new song so this is a bit of a surprise. I love the darker vibe the song and MV create; it's nice to finally see her do something different for a change.

RIP

You could say that your leg/ankle/knee is sore and you wouldn't be able to put on a satisfactory performance or something.

I would like to see you cover Gee though, lol

I bet that she is going to peddle us how her last "romance" was destroyed by the entertainment industry/media while lowkey blaming him for the mess.

As anticipation swells and Swift’s famous friends hint that she’s back in the studio, the album release date seems imminent; and I think I have a pretty solid guess: Oct. 23, 2016. After years of watching Swift operate her masterful image control — this summer’s Calvin Harris and Hiddleswift and Kim Kardashian disasters notwithstanding — I feel like I’m close to cracking the code. Follow along as I lay out this very important five-step theory

Step one: It’s going to be a surprise album.

There’s no way it’s not going to be a surprise album, right? After a summer being mocked for her bizarrely fake-looking relationship with Tom Hiddleston and Harris’s tea-spilling tweets and that time Kim Kardashian made her look like a liar over the whole Kanye West/”Famous” lyrics incident, Swift needs to change the narrative. What better way than to pull a Beyoncé? Instead of Tidal, it will just happen through Swift’s preferred outlet, Apple Music.

It’s unlikely Swift would want to go through the traditional press cycle of magazine covers and talk shows leading up to a big album release, especially when it will be impossible to avoid Hiddleston and Harris and Kardashian/West questions. As a bona fide superstar, she doesn’t really need that type of buildup.

Step two: It will be an October release.

Yes, Swift’s label president Scott Borchetta denied on Twitter that it’s happening in October — and then deleted his tweet. Would he actually tell the truth if he did know? It’s hard to imagine that Swift, who thinks so carefully about structure and significant dates, could really detour. Four out of her five studio albums have landed in October; the only exception was her second, “Fearless,” which nearly made it with a Nov. 11 drop date.

Plus, the 2017 Grammy eligibility period ended on Sept. 30, which means that Swift won’t have to go up against Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” or Adele’s “25.” And fall albums mean big sales over the holidays.

Step three: It will happen on a Sunday night.

There’s no better time to dominate the entertainment news cycle than on Sunday night when people are facing the reality of another week and want a distraction. (See: All the important award shows on Sunday night.) Internet traffic typically spikes on Monday when people are back at work, and a story like this would certainly get all of the attention.

In the past, she’s released albums on Monday or Tuesday, closer in accordance with when albums were traditionally released, before it shifted to Friday around 2015. But Fridays aren’t the best day to make a splash on the Internet, as everyone’s headed out for the weekend. And even though Nielsen SoundScan now measures album sales from Friday through Thursday, Swift’s album will be so popular that she won’t have to worry about sales numbers — she’ll be No. 1 regardless.

Step four: It will have something to do with her 10-year music career anniversary.

If you listen to her lyrics or follow her on social media, Swift is all about remembering specific dates, times, places and anniversaries. Her first album, “Taylor Swift,” was released on Oct. 24, 2006. That’s probably too big of a milestone to ignore.

Swift hasn’t performed a concert since her final “1989” tour date in Australia last December. Her only concert date in 2016 will be at the Formula One U.S. Grand Prix in Texas on Saturday, Oct. 22. That does not feel like a coincidence.

Her music is extremely catchy (mostly 1989, her other stuff hasn't aged that well but was great when I was younger.

You just can't believe it because they are doing better than your faves. I very much like them a lot now. They are very good at making catchy music.

I really don't think Halsey is the reason for the succes of the song, it's the lyrics. You could have put any random female singer and achieve the same result, for example look at their new song with Pheobe Ryan. Halsey might just have been the cheapest.
