Taylor Swift Gave Ye His Karma on the Charts
She blocked Vultures 2 from a No. 1 debut and broke the rapper’s long-running streak.
Vultures 2 got off to a rocky start when Ye and Ty dropped it a day into the tracking period, on Saturday, August 3, after first promising it to fans in March. Swift likely saw an opportunity for a bit of karma against her longtime nemesis(Ye rapping about her on Vultures 1 probably didn’t help) and pulled out all the stops to make it happen, releasing five new digital variants of TTPD, four of which included a live track from the Eras Tour; the fifth included a “first draft phone memo” of the song “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys.” She also restocked her web store and held a 13 percent–off (of course) sale on physical variants. TTPD looks likely to earn a 15th frame this week, but after that, Swift will face off against her own “Fortnight” collaborator Post Malone, whose country album F-1 Trillion is out August 16.
