The transfer didn’t go unnoticed on social media, with Swifties going wild for the observe’s new focus. “doing this proper after blocking his album from primary… taylor swift the legend that you’re!” one X person commented, in reference to Tortured Poets topping the Billboard 200 in its sixteenth week vs. Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures 2 opening within the runner-up spot. “NOT THE CAPITAL LETTER CHANGE!!!!
