For years, the debates have raged, the controversies swirled, yet the enigma of Taylor Swift’s cultural supremacy remains unresolved. As the days unfold, Swift continues to outpace the very genre she once called home, redefining what it means to triumph in spaces she never even sought to claim. Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar’s ‘GNX,’ once perched atop the charts, is now struggling to hold its ground as Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ rises like a force of nature. As for Lamar’s loyalists, they may have resisted the pull of Drake, but when confronted with Swift, even they find themselves compelled to bow.

The NFR Podcast on X recently left Kendrick Lamar’s entire fanbase floored with a projection that predicts his sixth studio album, ‘GNX,’ will be knocked off by Taylor Swift’s 11th studio album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’ According to the report, Lamar’s ‘GNX’ is now charting for No. 2 with 160K units sold as Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ eyes overtaking the summit with over 380K units sold. Her new vinyl release holds the answer to the question on everyone’s mind.

When Taylor Swift recently released the Eras Tour book, it came in tandem with the exclusive launch of ‘The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology’ album as a vinyl record and a CD. As Swifties braved through freezing temperatures to show up in the early hours of Black Friday to stand in queues to get their hands on Swift’s latest release, many predicted a turning point, but probably not this big.

Despite the latest projections, even Kendrick Lamar’s fans were not sticking to the script they had written for Drake. Instead, they were rolling with the punch, revisiting Drake’s ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’ like a vintage bottle of wine that only seemed to get better with time.

Not too long ago, when Kendrick Lamar shocked the world with his surprise album, ‘GNX,’ fans were quick to pick apart Jack Antonoff’s varied approach to artists. They clung to the critique that Antonoff’s beats for Swift were more like rough drafts, landing their darts on ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ while the polished masterpieces he crafted for Lamar told a different story. However, with the numbers speaking volumes, they did not expect this curveball, though it is practically in the Swifties’ DNA to play with the expected.

Sure, it brought some swipes for Swift over the long-exaggerated contentions because she released various versions of her record.

Fans, however, could not resist hailing the superstar for flaming the fire that never burns out. With many coming to terms with the fact that the “swifties can’t be stopped,” it may be about time to take it as the gospel truth because if not, the Swiftie Intelligence may crack a few more codes to establish on their own why she deserves everything that consistently drop the jaws.
