The biggest gag with Adele debuting at 3.38M is she did it all organic, no variants, no bundles, no tricks. That’s why the moment and record will forever be a gag. Even if Taylor does the same it wouldn’t hit the same because it’s never organic
She's not pulling nasty tricks to get records or mass releasing albums to stay atop. Instead, she performed her timeless discography in a acclaimed and historic concert at her own pop-up stadium and will return on her own terms, not fearing irrelevancy. She is in her own league
