This awesome. Whoop - well deserved :wub:

Just been reading all the records she's been breaking / matching with this release this week and in the last 12 years - absolutely phenomenal. She's such a talent and had really great things.

 

And with a big potential for another number 1 with reputation Taylors version, she'll won't be dying down just yet.

Legend :heart:

One week in and I’ve now settled on the opinion that The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived is the best song Taylor has ever written. Just simply perfect.

The lyrics are perfect - we've all been there !

'Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?', 'loml' & 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived' are 3 of her best written songs, EVER.

The smallest man who ever lived is perfection

Taylor's facebook:

 

"My mind is blown. I’m completely floored by the love you’ve shown this album.

2.6 million ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS?? Thank you for listening, streaming, and welcoming Tortured Poets into your life. Feeling completely overwhelmed.

I was already so fired up to get back to the tour but you doing THIS?? May 9th can’t come soon enough"

Breaks her own vinyl sales record in the US with 859k on vinyl ALONE!!!

2.61 million in the US is absolutely insane.

OK I finally get why Down bad been the second/third most successful, the chorus is so catchy

 

I just want who's afraid of little old me to have it's moment

First artist to have entire top 14 on BBH100! Not even in tracklist order either so people were definitely gravitating towards favourites etc.. :D

Wouldn't have chosen this order myself but I'm glad it shows people were being thoughtful in their choices and wasn't just like this because people just let the album play.

 

Big thanks to Joseph for our new banner !

I very much identify with this review linked below. It wasn't an instant hit for me but I love it more each time I listen to it and songs which weren't favourites to begin with have become just that. Good to see others having similar experiences withe album.

'One week later, my view of the album has entirely reversed. After spending more time with the two-hour sonic feast, more methodically touring through its subtleties and nuances, I am ready to declare that it is one of Swift’s best works yet. Anecdotally, it seems others are also identifying with this experience, initially expressing tepid feelings toward the album, and then realizing after a few listens it has really grown on them.'
