A SWIFTIAN HITS LIST

We’re not talking Lilliput or Brobdingnag, but nonetheless a gigantic figure looms over this week’s gathering of music-biz conversation-starters—that would, of course, be the reemerging Taylor and her first-person exclamatory new single. Then there’s her Republic liaison Jim Roppo, or, as Taylor addresses him, “HEY YOU!” Tay shares that piece of punctuation with P!NK, another returning superstar—as is Eminem, who’s making an undeniably Logical move.

And let’s give it up for the newly formed supergroup power trio of Gee Roberson, Adam Leber and Lil Nas X(Blind Faith has nothing to do with this), not to mention BFFS Brenda and Billie.
