She announced this before Olivia even announced the remix. This wasn’t a “blocking” attempt

I didn't say it was or wasn't. I just dislike multiple releases clogging up the charts.

I’m confused why Olivia’s remix is any different than what Taylor’s doing. 

Taylor’s release timing is def suss but I’m not going to “be upset” one artists remix came out at another artists remix.

Olivia never released the original version of the song, she only released this remix as a single.

Sorry, I meant as a single for radio.

This single instance, if it were in a vacuum, would be comparable. But obviously it’s not existing in a vacuum and TS has done these chart blocking shenanigans multiple times to only female artists. Has OR countlessly chart blocked so blatantly & deliberately?
