Cowboy Carter is about to get rounded up.
Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” will at midnight like the hurricane in “The Wizard of Oz.” Nothing will be left in its wake including Beyonce’s album.
“Cowboy Carter” will fall, like everything else, by the wayside. The Beyonce album has sold around 700,000 copies including streaming. My guess is, Swift will sell that in her first week.
All of Beyonce’s tracks are out of the top 20, too, making way for Swift to swamp iTunes. Even “Texas Hold Em” is gone, although it will remain on the radio for a long time.
Swift advance orders will fuel her opening, and you know she’ll be making appearances everywhere. She has an uncanny instinct for promotion, unlike Beyonce who kept away from it.
Get ready for a Beyonce vs. Taylor Swift showdown in January at the next Grammy Awards. Beyonce will win, I’m telling you now.
Come back after midnight for a Swiftian review.
