Insiders reveal Taylor Swift has been borrowing melodies
Taylor Swift’s tunes for her album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” seem to be borrowed. According to Rob Shuter’s sources, the Grammy-winner had been borrowing melodies from music composers for her songs. However, Swift has not been taking their work for granted. Reportedly, she has been quietly paying them in return.
Furthermore, insiders also pointed out that Swift’s TS12 album has achieved a whopping profit of $150 million. But it seemed not to be an easy task, as it apparently required a change in strategy. This time, the newly engaged celebrity went all in to get a successful result. Her first move was to block the purchase of individual songs on iTunes.
Due to this, listeners had only one option: to buy the entire album. Thanks to the strategy, Swift’s new record sold four million copies within a week. Once the momentum slowed, the singles became available for purchase. According to the outlet, seven songs from “The Life of a Showgirl” entered iTunes Top 100 in a few hours. “The Fate of Ophelia” topped the charts, followed by “Opalite.”
The report further mentioned Swift’s next plan, which was to introduce the deluxe packages. They included metallic vinyl, glitter vinyl, removable lyric panels, signed inserts, and limited-edition covers. Meanwhile, a label executive commented, saying that the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker was seemingly “monetizing nostalgia and obsession at the same time.”
Earlier, a similar report surfaced about Swift’s strategy to sell the album. It stated that she initially lowered the price on iTunes to $4.99. Allegedly, her move made some A-list singers furious, who accused the pop sensation of using “cheap tricks.”
