You can read the review for yourself to understand his larger point — but the gist is … he believes Taylor’s new project, all about heartbreak, is on the level with Adele’s work.
Most fans have accused RS of doing Adele dirty by putting her in a juxtaposition with TS, highlighting how the Brit’s vocals are far superior to Taylor’s. One fan wrote on X … “they have the audacity to say that she’s the ‘better adele’ but she in fact cannot do this.”
Another fan called out how the Rolling Stone writer was pitting the female artists against each other … when they’ve never had beef before.
Remember, Taylor and Adele’s social circles overlap … since both hitmakers are pals with Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence.
Worth noting … the motive for the Rolling Stone comment may have something to do with the projected sales for ‘TTPD.’ Taylor’s new album is predicted to sell 2 million units in the U.S. … something she’s never done before in her career.
Adele famously sold over 3 million units in a week after the release of her album, “25.” But it doesn’t seem Taylor will be beating this record … further proving the “better Adele” comment was kinda unwarranted.
