Taylor Swift is on tour, selling out all her venues. Her fans are going crazy.
How do we know? Last week, Taylor placed seven albums in the top 50. Seven! From her most recent, Midnights (62,469) to Fearless – Taylor’s Version (14,088 copies).
When I called a local record store today to ask if they had something else for Record Store Day, a recording came on saying they weren’t taking calls, but they did have Taylor Swift in stock and “plan accordingly.”
WTF?
Most of these records sound alike to me, but this isn’t my generation. Obviously, Swift is THE star of hers, especially — I would guess — among young ladies. Well, she’s smart, successful, wily, good in business, no one’s fool, and just vengeful enough to take notes for songs during relationships. Good for her!
PS She also outfoxed all the record execs, re-recording her albums so she owns the new master recordings. And they’re selling better than the originals!
