Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

Chapter 401: Hong Kong Island Concert (2)

"Link, competing with Taylor for the charts, do you have a chance of losing?"

During the concert in Kuala Lumpur, Dino Duva texted to ask.

"No!"

"Not even a little bit?"

"Not even slightly!"

"It’s a pity, if you lost, betting ten thousand could earn five hundred thousand, that would be a great deal."

Dino said regretfully.

Link shook his head helplessly,

"How has Mario’s training been going lately?"

Dino laughed.

"Tell him to keep his feet on the ground, stop daydreaming."

He replied with a message, and saw another unread message, from the old acquaintance country music princess Carrie Underwood.

"Link, Taylor is aiming for your championship, are you nervous?"

"Of course not! She’s no match for me."

"Taylor is right beside me, can I relay your words to her?"

"Sure, and tell her, if she wants to catch up with me, she needs at least five more years."

"Haha, I told her, Taylor called you an arrogant man, she said she will use facts to make you eat humble pie and concede defeat... I feel you two really love each other, have you thought about getting back together?"

"Thought about it, but she can’t tolerate me cheating."

"This... can’t you just not cheat?"

After chatting for a bit, Link turned off his phone and headed to the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur where his concert was taking place.

After more than two months of promotion and hype, Taylor’s third album "Last Kiss" was also released globally on July 22, sold 267,000 copies in the United States on the day of release, just 10,000 fewer than Link’s third album’s first-day sales, very sensational.

As the songs in this album were of good quality, mainly content slamming Link for his flirtatious ways which ruined their love, there were also a few songs blaming his rumored girlfriends, considering them as the cause of the breakup.

The lyrics of these songs were highly topical.

Added to that, Scott Borchetta from Big Machine Records, who is skilled at PR stunts, hinted through the media that these songs were ’love requiems’ Taylor wrote post-breakup, containing many things she wanted to say but hadn’t.

After the album’s release, it hit the hot search twice on the first day, four times on the second day, continued with four on the third day, and averaged three hot searches per day in the first week, keeping its popularity unabated.

Fans, after hearing the songs, also gathered online, discussing which celebrities were implicated in the songs.

For instance, "Better Than Revenge" was thought to target Emma Watson, and "Love’s Devil" was believed to hint at Ivanka.

And "I Knew You Were Trouble" was thought to involve certain actresses like Amber Heard, Christine Stewart, Emma Roberts, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Michelle Rodriguez, Emma Stone, and others, all of whom had either collaborated with Link or were in good terms with him.

"Blank Space" was thought to involve female singers like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Lana Del Rey, and all others in good terms with Link.

Additionally, songs like "Haunted," "Enchanted," "Dear Link," "Innocent," were also analyzed to see how much dirt there was on Link.

Fans joked, Taylor’s third album was entirely about exposing Link’s secrets, settling scores with him.

With Taylor as an ex-girlfriend, Link really had tough luck.

During the breaks at the concert, Link also took the time to listen to the songs from the album.

Initially, he broke out in a cold sweat, even alleviating the discomfort he had been feeling due to the hot weather in Southeast Asia, and after listening three or four times, he got used to it and found it quite amusing.

Being bad-mouthed in songs written by the big star Taylor, and being linked with so many talented women, this too was a form of praise; his name might live on through these songs.

Therefore, he retweeted Taylor’s promotional tweet for the new album, adding ’Songs are art, art is a reconstruction and sublimation of life, the people and events in the songs are not real; please do not blindly speculate and harm the innocent.’

Link had better not posted at all – his post was like stirring a hornet’s nest.

Fans swarmed to his Twitter, calling him the boldest scumbag ever for daring to speak up and help promote Taylor’s album, apparently not worried about getting criticized.

Others online asked about the actresses and singers mentioned in Taylor’s new album, querying how many times he had cheated during their relationship.

Many of Taylor’s fans posted, saying, ’The songs are really good, but the person is really a scumbag.’

Link ignored these restless fans and continued holding concerts in Malaysia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Thailand, etc.

Since the fans couldn’t get answers from him, they turned to other actresses’ social media accounts, asking them to clarify.

Except for Amber Heard, none of them stepped forward to publicly comment, seemingly unwilling to ride this wave of attention.

Amber Heard’s tweet pushed this ’guess game of Taylor and Link’s third wheel in love’ to a new peak.

Amber revealed in her tweet that Link and Taylor had dated before 2009 but broke up for some unknown reason.

She then became Link’s girlfriend, and the first lady of Link’s Santa Monica Bay villa as well as the first celebrity girlfriend he openly acknowledged.

Later in February 2009, Taylor suddenly returned to the United States, offered her one million US dollars to leave him, seeing that the two were truly in love, she graciously stepped aside to let them be together.
