Also I really do think @scatteredscreens you should stop sending people separate DMs and just take a break if this is bothering you. I'm not going to engage at all with those messages. I apologise for poking fun at your comments and I'm happy to leave it there.

That's fine. I just don't like people who don't know anything about you making personal claims about them. It's too far. I accept your apology and I'm sorry if my posts upset you too.

Then don’t engage in discussions you aren’t interested in then! 

As I said before, I'm interested in the discourse around TS, I just think continuous discussion about streaming numbers are silly. Not saying I'm right or have some godly opinion on it. Does that clear it up? Like I've said in other posts, I'm not trying to upset anyone and apologise if I have.

[jparx]

Anyway, that sped up a slow and dull afternoon!

About time to drive home and add some sweet ass streaming numbers to those records.

Tale as old as time. People who really like an artist aren’t content just to like them but have to explicitly justify why they’re the “best”. So they use sales/streaming figures as if to seal the deal on their point of view. You see it all the time here in arguments about stage positioning.

Anyone at Bon Iver tonight? Rumour that Taylor sound checked with him at lunchtime.

 

Would be mad if so.

She is going to be in London tomorrow for the Graham Norton taping so the Bon Iver rumour might not be too crazy. I don’t think it will happen but have my fingers crossed for everyone attending who is an exile/evermore Stan.

The twitter account that tracks celeb jets has her in London as of two days ago

I was jokingly going to say ‘someone track her jet!’

She randomly rocked up at that HAIM gig as well didn't she, so it's not out of the ballpark of possibility.

Would she do it twice in the same city? Different venue but, I mean JV does backing vocals on one of her new songs (Dear Reader) I think so it’s possible I guess

JV is gonna do her a solid and return the favour during her headline set.

He's not got a great track record with that.

I'm heading to Bon Iver later so that'll be a nice surprise if she pops up, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

popped up for Kanye's set and in 2015 and James Blake's set in 2016, both times not gracing us with a bloody Bon Iver set

[jparx]

Honestly I'd have the odds quite favourable that she turns up for Exile. Hope so for those going!

[jparx]

I'll be absolutely kicking myself as well, could easily have gone to that gig!

That's what I meant - it didn't do the gig any favours.

the Manchester Bon Iver show was so damn good!

True. Was a bit of a let down

Me too! Too late on the hopes part… 😂

Nothing was going to do that gig favours tbh.

Plus, Exile is near the top of Swift fans' wishlist for the upcoming tour. It'd get the biggest reaction of the set I reckon.

People at home being like 'how sweet, Taylor's brought her Dad on stage for a song!'

Regarding sales figures, they've been a heated topic of conversation since I was a nipper (I'm in my 50s). It obviously was during the time of Elvis, the Beatles, Dylan, etc. 

It's quite interesting looking through this list and finding the ones that you remember being a big deal in your youth...
