Taylor Swift has done the unimaginable. The unthinkable. The amazing. She’s managed to sell albums in a time where people are viewed as completely weird for buying them.
Seriously, when I meet people who still buy albums that aren’t vinyl, I look at them the same way I imagine people are going to look at spaceman when they come down and take residence in Miami. The same way a dog looks at you when you show him a card trick, or teach him the basics of playing poker. They’re always amazing. And apparently millions of them live in the South and have sent their children out to buy Taylor Swift’s new album because it’s completely wholesome and contains music that’s enjoyable. According to Rolling Stone.
She broke Lil’ Wayne’s first-week album sale record, and sold close to 1.1 million copies in the same week. Which means regardless of the album’s content, she’s going to win a Grammy, because that’s how the music business works nowadays. You sell a ton of albums, they give you a Grammy.
Congratulations, Taylor Swift. For having the most rabid fanbase in recorded history. You could use them, you know. To start riots, instead of going to concerts with fairy castle backdrops.
It’s your choice. Choose wisely.
