#Spotify Top Global Artist

[taylornation]

We’re looking back on this year and feeling like we just lived 13 lives? 🤯

Thanks for making it best year yet! 🫶 Also, since today is 123123, we gotta say it… 1, 2, 3, let’s go (to 2024), bitch!

A little dissapointed that I'm only in the top 1% this year 😭

UMM so cruel summer and a lot of other songs are making a lotttt more sense now that I’ve realized the “devil” that Taylor keeps referring to is actually the music industry as a whole thanks to @keepingsecretstokeepyoutk (see this post). “He looks up grinning like a devil” // “I would’ve stayed on my knees and I damn sure never would’ve danced w the devil AT 19” // “Dear reader if you aim at the devil make sure you don’t miss.” Do you remember the Top Global Artist vid that spotify released that had cruel summer as the background song and had a bunch of cruel summer references? Yeah go back and watch that again w this context in mind 😃 Taylor (the angel) has had enough of the games and is gonna end them once and for all which is very Katniss Everdeen of her—hello the archer 🏹 if any of you have read or watched the hunger games you know how the story ends

And you'll also remember that Katniss escapes the games twice by cheating--the first time w poison berries and the second time by destroying the arena itself (which was a clock) WITH itself using a lightning strike current at midnight that shot thru her arrow -> "And there was one prize I'd cheat to win." Not to mention Katniss was the mockingjay, a symbol of rebellion and resistance. And the fire symbolism in this trilogy was meant to represent how that rebellion can spread from a spark of hope. Snow lands on top but fire melts snow. Taylor is a huge hunger games fan so I wouldn't be surprised at all if these parallels were intentional. Also I'm not the first one to notice the hunger games connections, I saw some other gaylors point this out so I can't take full credit for that

“You play stupid games you win stupid prizes” // “Devils roll the dice” // "Baby let the games begin" // The scrabble instagram post // The mastermind chess board // "You see all the wisest women had to do it this way, cause we were born to be the pawn in every lover's game" // "No more keeping score now I just keep you warm. No more tug of war now I just know there's more"

I think it's possible Taylor knew that her masters were gonna be sold hence all the game imagery and songs abt heartbreak on lover

She's literally gonna take down the industry as a whole and expose everything. This is the reason for all the cryptic messages and meticulous planning. AND THIS IS WHAT THE ALBATROSS IS ABT TOO. “She’s the albatross she is here to destroy you.” They tried to keep her locked away in cages and towers and closets and tried taming her and pulling out her teeth but it didn’t work

“Devils that you know raise worse hell than a stranger” SHE’S the devil now and she’s abt to make their lives a living hell

“She’s the death you chose” i.e. the music industry chose to kill Taylor (which is why TTPD is a post-mortem album) so now she’s coming back to haunt them hence the ghostly Victorian attire. “We gather here we line up weeping in a sunlit room and if I’m on fire you’ll be made of ashes too.” THIS is the karma she’s talking abt that will happen at midnight!!

“You’ll see me in hindsight tangled up w you all night burning it down”

I am the APPARITION. I am the LINE OF POETRY. THAT’S TAYLOR. SHE’S THE GHOST WRITING POST-MORTEM POETRY

Literally feel like I am abt to explode from all the earth-shattering revelations I’ve just had

Jimin continues to rule the Spotify South Korean charts!

In addition to notching his 190th day on top of the South Korean Daily artist chart, second only to his group BTS, Jimin broke another record and became the first k-soloist to ever top the Korean Weekly Artist chart for 29 weeks.

And Jimin’s music continues to take over the top five spots on the South Korean daily song charts, too!

Congratulations, Jimin! And congratulations to South Korea for working so hard for Jimin. 💜

Swifties' spotify wrapped in a nutshell

[happinessoncorneliastreet]

@taylorswift as the "Global Top Artist" of Spotify this year.

[taylorswiftsbestfriendiskloe]

Happy birthday to my personal best friend @taylorswift !!! I love you so much and I’ve spent some time and made a video for you even though I’m not a professional. Thanks for making 2023 one of the best years in my life. You’re the reason I love music and you’ve saved so many lives with your music !!! You’re forever iconic ♥️

What really breaks me about You’re Losing Me is the fact that it isn’t a post breakup song. It’s a plea. A last ditch effort to prevent a breakup. It’s a warning that this is the last chance.

The lyrics “I’ve got nothing to believe, unless you’re choosing me.” show there is still a small thread of hope of saving this relationship. This love will end UNLESS, something changes. Even the verb tense shows that the narrator wants to believe things will work out. Instead of saying “You lost me.” They sing, “You’re losing me,” implying that a complete letting go has not happened yet.

In the context of Taylor’s personal life we can gather that this ultimately became a breakup song. Yet, it’s essence is a letter to a loved one asking them to fight for a relationship. The ultimatum is to choose the person you claim you love or lose them forever.

Looking back, we can see what Taylor’s ex chose to do or not do. And that is what makes this a truly devastating song.

Emergency!!!! 🚨🚨🚨

to all Jimin lovers out there, stream hard!! look at the list of new music today 😵 If we don't do our part for Jiminie, he may be pushed out of Artist Position and it'll be hard to enter again. He has been out of Spotify Global Top 50 for almost a week now and he may never go back inside that list.

i know it's hard since only those who cares for him is still streaming his music. a little more for our hard working artist. just a little more of your time and effort pls 🙏

[stateofgracetvacousticversion]

That's our girl 🥹

Um ok this is unreal?? I just wanted to say to anyone who listened to my music this year, anywhere in the world, thank you. Getting named Spotify’s Global Top Artist in 2023 is truly the best birthday/holiday gift you could’ve given me. We’ve seriously had THE MOST fun this year out there on tour and now this. Are you serious. So I was trying to think of a way to thank you, and a lot of you have been asking me to put “You’re Losing Me (From The Vault)” on streaming... so here you go! You can finally listen EVERYWHERE now 💋
