Like clockwork honestly. She’s ridiculous and I hope Tate and Olivia both top her this week

Wait but Olivia isn't blocking Tate?? She released on the same day

Right? Taylor is blocking both but Olivia’s surprise remix for some reason isn’t blocking Tate as well? There’s only so many Fridays in a year to release music. People need to chill with this “blocking” bullshit.

Its exclusively online nonsense. Average fan of all three of these artists also listens to the other two. (Bonus for the implication that being 'blocked' from #1 means your song might as well not exist?)

Don’t forget Olivia released like 4 variants of a remix single, but she isn’t “gaming the system”.
