Yay! All that promotion worked. I wish she had put much effort in Style because I think that should've gone to number 1. I wonder why she made the decision to not promote Style at all, or premiering the video (a non-buzzworthy video) on a Friday (SIO, BS, and BB all premiered early in the week). She should be 4 for 4, but nope.

I honestly think she didn't promote "Style" as much because of her mom being diagnosed with cancer. She was probably spending as much time as she could with her before beginning her tour. That's my guess, anyway.

Also, it should be noted that while the version "Bad Blood" released as a single is the version with Kendrick Lamar, I have heard the album version on the radio a few times recently.

"Style" premiered on a Friday because it was Friday the 13th, and 13 is, of course, her lucky number. Except here, of course, since it's the only single so far not to go to number one.

A lot of her fans seem to think "Wildest Dreams" will be the next single, but I'm still hoping she'll give "Clean" a chance.

That could be it but we will never know for sure. Her official reason for not singing it at the Grammys was because of "tour preperations" which is not a very good excuse. Not singing Style at the Grammys was a mistep by her and her team, IMO. Then she did an interview on Jimmy Fallon, but didn't sing. And then she chose to sing Blank Space at the Brit Awards, though it would have little impace on the American charts, but it was still an odd choice to sing that song instead of the song you just released as a single. And she didn't perform at the iHeart Radio awards. Lots of missed opportunities to promote it. So there was no live performance of Style, except for at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show but that was in early December.

I think that's why she chose that date too, but you release a video early in the week to take advantage of a full week of numbers.

I'm seeing a lot of fans wanting Wildest Dreams and New Romantics. I personlly wouldn't choose that. I'm hoping for Clean too. Release a slow song for once, Taylor!! LOL

5 million! cool.png

Taylor Swift's juggernaut album "1989" earns a 5x platinum certification in the United States.

My dream last night: I was at dinner with Taylor, Calvin Harris and three other people that I don't know/don't remember. We were suppose to go out for dinner but decided to stay in. At the table I asked someone sitting beside me why we stayed in. The person said to look at Taylor's left hand. I saw something on her finger, and asked, "Is that an engagement ring?!" "Yup, we're engaged!!" Then I started to give some congratulatory speech, but I was really thinking, "You guys have been only dating for a couple of months! WTF!!" I wasn't happy. LOL That's all I remember. :lol:

Woah! Apple changed their mind!  #PowerOfTaylorSwift

 

Apple Changes Course: Will Pay Labels During Free Trial

 

 

Loved that letter she wrote.  She's such a great writer.   I'm glad Apple changed their mind because not paying artists for those 3 months wasn't fair.  And there needs to be a change in the streaming model.  Artists need a better deal.  I saw this tweet on tumblr, I don't know who is, but the amount he got paid is ridiculous.

Lord knows I don't listen to a thing this young woman puts out, but this is really admirable! I think her reasoning was beautiful. She doesn't need the money at all and was looking out for artists who are not as fortunate as she is. Way to go!

I'm in awe :)

      "Secret Storm" memories.

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I'm pretty sure this ep is  from Dec 73 From the Daytime Serial Newsletter Ian and Valerie Northcote are deeply concerned over Laurie's  life being increasingly dominated by hallucinations and fantasies about Georgina, the former owner of the house the Reddins recently bought and are now living in. Doreen Post (Linda Purl) was involved in that story .Perhaps she was going to be revealed as Georgina's daughter? Wonder how that story evolved and whether it was wrapped up before cancellation? and thanks to @skylark

      Thank u so much! I love that show and the more I see of it the more I want to find more of it even if it’s just in script form. But that house and especially the room looked like Victoria Winters room from dark shadows lol  this was great find! Thanks

      I genuinely thought when they said she had been throwing up, we were going to get a pregnancy story. I’m actually not convinced we aren’t. Especially the way she and Doug danced around her own infidelity.

      Shouldn't it be the other way? I don't think Taylor Hayes is playing Rebecca Budig.

      And the most detailed discussion I've seen from an industry figure about some of JFP's worst choices as a producer (steamrolling over writers) was from another woman, Megan McTavish.

      IMDb is definitely incorrect, because the final week of episodes in 1974 is uploaded to Youtube in audio form, and Mark and Laurie are there until the very end. The last episode shows Mark going back to the priesthood. I looked at the newspaper and the earliest reference to their house being haunted by Georgina is in December of 1973. This is dated Dec 14, but this same synopsis ran in the papers until the end of December in other publications. So it must have been within those last 3-4 months. I think Stephanie Braxton joined around 1969-1970 so that's probably right. I saw it stated in other newspapers that David Gale joined around September 1972.

      All My Children Tribute Thread

      Opal having siblings could add to the story. However, it raises questions about Tad's adoption. Why were the Martins allowed to adopt him if Tad had aunts or uncles who could have cared for him?  Logic limited the number of possible Gardner's (and whatever Opal's maiden name was).  Even though Linda Thorson would have been a hysterical choice given her British accent.  Especially because SOD often published questions by readers who wondered why Tad and Jenny didn't speak like their mother.   All of which is still not an excuse for Tad's evil doppelgänger Ted.
