Midnights top the music charts
How to Occupy Billboard Top 10, Ask Taylor Swift 🎶👸🏼💋✒️
Well done, Swifties
I write about my exes, and so does Taylor Swift. Crucify us!👻 The difference is that Tay Tay made millions from the songs that poked fun at her exes while I made pennies. Not completely true, I made $100 with this story — Nude Beach with the Ex.
Life sucks!
My problem with people having a problem with her songs about her exes, or has she ever admitted to it??? is
that every writer takes inspiration from what happened in their lives and many, if not all of our heartaches were caused by someone, and it was by someone we used to love.
So, today I still take jabs at my exes and so does Taylor Swift. To that, cheers Taylor but wait there is more — Taylor Swift made history, or should I say Billboard herstory.
Taylor Swift sweeps Billboard’s #Hot100’s entire top 10 in a single week
Any first should be celebrated. And Taylor Swift should be celebrated for taking all the Top 10 spots in Billboard’s Hot 100.
It was on October 21, 2022, when Taylor Swift released her 10th album — Midnights.
It also happens to be the birthday of Kim Kardashian who once called her a ‘snake.’
Many have said, with Taylor Swift nothing is an accident. So, it is up to the Swifties to discover the reason for the October 21 release of Midnights.
Here’s a rundown of Swift’s unprecedented week on the Hot 100.

Anti-Hero
Anti-Hero
Anti-Hero is the lead single of the album. It also happens to be the song that got Taylor Swift some trouble with the word — ‘fat.’
I am still trying to hear both sides, I know I wrote a story about myself being fat, and this month I’m trying to lose at least 15 pounds to get me back to a weight that I feel is my optimum weight.
All I can say for now is that it is my story. I’m not afraid of my weight, but afraid of what excess weight does to my body.
Disclaimer: This story should not be seen as weight-loss advice, it is best to see your doctor before embarking on any weight loss program.

Final words
If you are still doubting Taylor Swift as an artist, doubt no more. She had broken records and broken the glass ceiling.
Yes, as with any record it will someday be broken by another artist or by Taylor Swift herself.
But for now, she had been vindicated many times over when at 19 her talent was belittled by Kanye West, who can forget how West stole the show from Taylor Swift all because he was drunk and thought Kanye West had the last say on who gets an award or not.
10 out of 10 of the Hot 100??? On my 10th album??? I AM IN SHAMBLES. — Taylor Swift on Twitter
But here’s the deal, without the power of the Swifties, Taylor Swift would not have made history and she knows that.
This is why, she is always grateful to her fans who get her, her music, and her songs about her exes.
I know what it feels like Tay Tay without the fame. Congratulations!
