Taylor Swift accused of being 'nasty' as she releases ‘TTPD’ digital version one day before Billie Eilish's new album

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Pop sensation Taylor Swift was targeted by social media users this week after she unveiled three new editions of her album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ just one day before Billie Eilish released her latest record, ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft'.

The ‘Tortured Poets Department’ variants were made available digitally on Thursday, May 16 evening.

Each edition of Taylor Swift's 'TTPD' digital version includes a bonus version of one of three Swift songs: 'The Black Dog',  'Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?' and 'Cassandra'. 

Eilish, meanwhile, has been teasing the release of 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' since April.

Considering the intense excitement surrounding the nine-time Grammy winner's most recent release, several fans quickly accused Swift of blatantly attempting to surpass 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' on the charts.

Taylor is essentially releasing the same album with three different additional tracks. This implies that fans will have to download the three different tracks separately, which will definitely have an impact on streaming numbers.

Without naming Swift in an interview with Billboard a month ago, Billie Eilish called out artists who constantly re-release their albums on vinyl in order to boost sales and labeled them “wasteful.” Something which Swift is known to do.

Social media users criticized Swift for releasing a digital version of 'TTPD', a day before BIllie's song release. 

Another user said, "She is desperate to keep that number one oh tayfraud."

A user wrote, "Imagine having beef with a 22 year old at 34….. petty to the point she MADE sure it was a digital copy."

A user said, "Can she let have Billie her moment."

A user said, "Taylor is one wicked woman sorry." Another user said, "Billie’s statement about artists releasing 40 vinyl packages to get people to buy more really got into her… doing this on her album release day is so nasty."
