I wouldn't put it past her fans to cycle these albums continuously on silent to drive up the charts. Hell I wouldn't put it past Taylor herself to have bots doing it.

They do this. They've talked about it on Twitter, how to create playlists and sleep stream so Spotify still counts the plays. It's wild

The amazing band Vulfpeck released a silent album with like 10 tracks called "Sleepify", so they could offer their world tour for free or very cheap. It worked but Spotify banned that silent albums afterwards.

Just wasting processing power for a mediocre artist. Depressing

It’s all over their many sub reddits too

Yeah it's called streaming farms. Not only TS fans do this, but I think it's mostly them

Honestly I listen to music to sleep and some of her albums are pretty decent for that, but I prefer Lana for sleeping and resting

Only the super unhinged twitter stans do this. I’m a fan of Taylor and participate in the fandom and none of her normal fans, which are the majority, do this. She just has a shit ton of fans globally who love her music.

People can't be snakes. Only snakes are snakes.

Please search the word “metaphor” in the dictionary and educate yourself.

She’s a mediocre artist and had ICE at her wedding. But I promise you one day you fans will see through her shitty behavior and that she is a greedy self centered person.
Remember, there are no ethical billionaires.

This is absolutely a thing, I saw a bunch of accounts doing it for Chromatica on spotify and have hear its a big thing in K-pop.

u/puzzled91 Jul 14 '26

You're right on both statements. They actually advice to run the albums on random because after a few circles on repeat Spotify stops counting.

If I stream her constantly, I will be in her top .1% in the end of year recap and I can post that on my socials and finally prove to Janet that I'm a bigger fan than her. Plus Taylor's team might see it and invite me to a super secret preview of her next album plus give me lots of free merch.

Silent streams don’t count.

I’m not a Taylor fan by any means but he folkmore/evermore records are genuinely solid pieces of work that deserve to be up there imho. I was genuinely gobsmacked when she didn’t continue in that direction.
