Taylor Swift's 11th studio album, Tortured Poets Department, was released in April and quickly gained immense popularity, thanks to its 31 tracks. 

The album's success led Swift to express her gratitude to her fans for their unwavering support. 

However, some music enthusiasts now accuse her of acting with bad intentions.

On the other hand, Billie Eilish has been promoting her new album on social media, expressing her pride and excitement. 

Unfortunately for Eilish, Swift's announcement of three new digital editions of her album, featuring first draft phone memos of her songs, coincided with the release of Hit Me Hard And Soft.

Fans of Eilish took issue with the timing of Swift's announcement, perceiving it as an intentional move to overshadow Eilish's album release.

Fans expressed their disappointment, with some labeling Swift's actions as "nasty."

They criticized her for attempting to block the success of a young artist like Billie Eilish.

However, some supporters defended Taylor Swift, arguing that the release of the new album editions actually brought more attention to Eilish's work. 

They maintained that creating a conflict between the two artists was unnecessary and unfounded.

The controversy surrounding the albums escalated when Eilish discussed the issue of artists releasing multiple vinyl editions and packaging, which she found wasteful and frustrating. 

While some speculated that Eilish specifically mentioned Swift, the young singer denied singling anyone out and clarified that these were industry-wide systemic issues.

Not going to hate on her for capitalizing on the demand she has. She’s out there hustling, one user said.

I like Billie better anyway. Don't come for me Swifties....we are all allowed to like what we like, the second user said.

I remember when Taylor first started. Most people in the comment section were just being born. Waaay overrated vocally. Swift Fans are basically a cult. Seems like a decent person though. I have considerably more Billie on my Playlist than Taylor. Out of the two Billie definitely has my favor, another wrote.
