Taylor Swift takes on night two of Eras Tour in Amsterdam and sings a song she has never played before called 'imgonnagetyouback' from her latest album.
Taylor Swift has been accused of blocking artists from the top Billboard spot again as she continues to restock special versions of The Tortured Poets Department.
The 34-year-old megastar - whose latest album topped the Billboard 200 chart for the 11th straight week - restocked webstore versions of The Tortured Poets Department on Sunday But the last time a woman had the same number of consecutive weeks at the top was all the way back in late 1992 and early 1993, when Whitney Houston scored 11 straight weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 chart with her soundtrack for The Bodyguard.Although King holds the record for a woman with 15 weeks in a row, other woman have spent many more weeks at number one with nonconsecutive runs.
The latest chart news comes as the A-lister has faced increasing accusations that she's been working behind the scenes to block her pop rivals on the charts. However, midway through the charting week, Taylor surprised her fans by suddenly releasing several new UK-exclusive versions of TTPD - which resulted in the album getting a surge in sales and surpassing Charli in the mid-week predictions.
The latest chart news comes as the A-lister has faced increasing accusations that she's been working behind the scenes to block her pop rivals on the charts In a video titled 'Taylor Swift is Petty,' music critic Anthony Fantano - who boasts 1.8 million subscribers on YouTube - blasted the Bad Blood singer.
'She seems to not be pumping the brakes at all on shoving this record down everyone's throat - a record that many believe to have some of her weakest and most obnoxious songwriting to date.' Even Meghan McCain weighed in on the speculation, saying on her Citizen McCain podcast that Taylor needed to focus more on her art instead of the chartsThis is far from the first time that Taylor has been suspected of strategically releasing music to sabotage a rival.
The fact that she dropped two of these 'special' editions the same day Eilish released Hit Me Hard and Soft last month was perceived by many as an attempt to trample the competition. Swift was also accused of blocking Billie Eilish on the charts after the latter seemed to take several subtle jabs at her in the media
While they were performing, an unidentified man – who some fans have claimed was Eilish's brother Finneas O'Connell – could be heard on the concert livestream saying: 'We're getting sued by Taylor Swift.'She branded three-hour concerts 'psychotic' - Swift's shows are three and a half hours - and slammed the 'wasteful' practice of releasing numerous vinyl versions of albums - Swift had dropped multiple editions of TTPD.
Swift has also been accused of trying to block her former rival, Katy Perry, on the charts in the past. The feud between the two chart toppers dates back years, and allegedly stemmed from a dispute about sharing backup dancers.
