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

Ok, but where’a this blocking anger for Olivia?? She is more popular than Tate and released her remix on the same day. I don't even like any of Taylor’s recent music, but if you’re going to criticize artists for “blocking” other artists, don’t cherrypick which artists are blocking and which aren’t. There are only so many Fridays in a year for artists to release music on.

They're both new singles -- Swift is releasing a new version of an already released single to artificially keep the song up on the charts.

it’s not new. it’s a piano and acoustic. she always releases these on the same schedule. they e already been available to buy. all she did was put them on streaming

Genuine question: Are they both new singles? The article says Rodrigo's release is a remix, too.
