"You hold your breath."

What did you do? It reeks. It's like a hot foot forest.

Yessssss, New Romantics is incredible. I hope she plays it live!

Me too. Although "Four" just came out today so I think I will give Taylor a break for at least a few days.

Right now: Wonderland, All You Had To Do Was Stay, and Out of the Woods

Whyyyyyyy are the deluxe songs not on iTunes?!?!

Style, Blank Space, New Romantics

The rate for radio play is $0.091 per play. Spotify's rate is $0.006 per play max. Some make far less than that. Plus, listeners have no control over what is played on the radio, whereas they have a lot of control over what spotify plays. They are two very different things and that is why so many songwriters have…

Man, this basically happened to me, too. I bought the digital album off iTunes without realizing there was a deluxe version you could only buy at Target! Then I heard one of the extra songs on the radio and was like, "Hey! Wha??" Will I ever be able to buy those songs without buying the whole album again?!

Blank Space and Style are the best. Hands down.

Sometimes I think, wow, I've listened to 1989 a lot, maybe I should listen to something else. But then I try to think of anything else I'd want to listen to, and I can't!

I am so upset, because my boyfriend got me 1989 (which was super nice of him) at Target and apparently they did not make it at all clear that there is a deluxe edition, so he got me the regular one, and now I can't just go and buy the deluxe edition on top of that, and everyone keeps saying that the extra songs are…

this was discussed on gt and i de-truthered the whole thing.

Radio royalties are multiple times the royalty rate that streaming provides. Artists get .006 cents per stream on Spotify

Yessss, I am all over this album. I haven't really listened to anything else since it came out. Perfect pop album.

Ha, well you managed to perfectly illustrate her quote: "If I'm in the mood to be held accountable for every single article of clothing on my body—whether it matches, if it clashes, if it's on trend—then I go out. If I'm not interested in undergoing that kind of debate and conversation—regarding how I'm walking,…

Same concept, but if she's not being paid for it or being paid what she considers an unfair amount, it's perfectly within her rights to stop selling it at that rate (and going by what I've seen, Spotify is pretty much the definition of a bad rate).

Yes, one thing I've learned from my years of observation at Jezebel is that so many of the writers have a puckish sense of humor and whimsy when it comes to the things they write.

I mean, her comments seem appropriate and respectful, the fuck is the problem? I don't even like TS, but ffs.

The actual Culture Wars involve half the writers on Jezebel trying to build up Taylor Swift while the other half try to tear her down.
