Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish 'Fight' for Spotify dominance with their fandoms
The competition between the two women is good news for music and its sales, each in her own style, gaining fans on a daily basis.
Handing out bracelets at concerts, throwing virtual hearts everywhere, being good kids with pop music that used to be country, does not prevent us from joining together for one of the most relevant demonstrations of the century. The Swifties joined forces to overthrow Billie Eilish on Spotify . No one can touch their blonde and as proof of this, what happened over the weekend.
Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish have the support of their fans
On one hand, there's the popular singer with Barbie-style sequins filling stadiums around the world: Taylor Swift. And on the other, a brunette with cat eyes who wins the hearts of generation Z with her melodious pop: Billie Eilish.
Both have become undisputed stars of today's music. Each with a huge fan base. Just look at their respective Instagram accounts:
- 283 million followers for Taylor
- 120 million for Billie
Spotify releases high numbers for Billie Eilish, surpassing Taylor Swift
Over the weekend, music platform Spotify released figures that caused cold sweats to break out on the backs of Taylor Swift fans. Eilish reached the figure of 98 million 38 thousand people who listened to her songs, while Swift came in second with 98 million 36 thousand.
The incident sparked old feuds between fan groups of the two singers. The war for Spotify domination between Swifties and Billie Eilish fandoms broke out during the days off.
Why did Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish start to have differences?
Billie Eilish fails to steal the number 1 spot from Taylor Swift, and for Billie's fans, this is Taylor's fault for an alleged pernicious campaign to harm her. On the day of Billie Eilish's album release, Taylor Swift released three exclusive digital editions of her album and made them available for sale for 24 hours.
On the other hand, Taylor Swift fans also made a mistake by misinterpreting Billie Eilish's statement , where the 22-year-old singer said in an interview that she would not do a three-hour concert because she finds it literally "psychotic."
The length of a concert, mentioned by Billie in the interview, immediately made one think of the time that Swift 's fans spend at one of her average concerts: 3 hours and 15 minutes.
Swifties plan to get Taylor back to #1 on Spotify
Seeing the numbers, Swifties looked for a strategy that would return the highest number of views to their icon. The solution was to put the playback in infinite mode and thus give the American blonde an advantage.
