Prayer

A personal social account from an artist/performer and a professional account from a record label are two different things, though.
When Madonna is attacking a Karen, she's representing just herself. When a Rhino intern tries to play funny, they're representing the parent group Warner and all the artists they manage through Rhino.
It's basic PR, guys, social media or not. It applies to every medium.
For not taking it seriously we've been crying over a press release promising expanded reissues for three years now! That's meant to be serious, right? Well, the social media account of the label should be just an extension of the rest of PR; yes, they can be more playful, but they need to be always on point. It's not a personal account. It's the label talking.

Nothing big is coming this year, that's for sure. It's too late already.
Our best bet is the supposed RSD Black Friday "Bedtime Stories" EP including actual rare material.

Warner US and Warner UK were different label and marketing teams, though. As soon as she took off in the UK the British team decided to fully capitalize on it, probably thinking, like most of the rest of the world then, that she was the flavor of the moment and her success wouldn't last. While the US team probably saw more in the medium/long term.

I think Inside The Groove was BS in the end and probably speculating, just like the rest of us.
Obviously for some reason she doesn't feel like it at this moment. Maybe originally they were meant to go along with the biopic, as noted by some fans, but plans about them changed when the overall movie plan changed and she went on tour.
I think @steady75 commented that, but the rumored RSD "Bedtime Stories" EP will be the real test of what she and Warner are really willing to offer. If there are truly unreleased demos and stuff there or just simple edits or things we already have.

Sometimes a few weeks later but yeah. I also remember a Prince release ("The Versace Experience") going on digital almost at the same time as the RSD release.
I don't think there's a strict rule about not having that content on digital, just something they do maybe out of respect for the RSD tradition.

@Alibaba just nailed it.
 Taylor's impact since she got not big, but legendary BIG (around the mid-late 10s) and after all her dramas with Spotify (seems like ages ago but it was only 2017 she didn't want to do anything with them - until she got her cash of course), the Taylor's versions... all is always about the money she generates. Read any piece about her impact in the last five years or about the recent tour. It's all money talk. The tickets she sells, the boost in the economy for the cities she plays live, etc. etc.
Occasionally it translates into "power": the highest amount of VMAs, the full Billboard Hot 100 Top 10, things like that.
But it's never or rarely about the music.
Money is the anthem of success, yes, but it's also quite telling what most of this is about.
She's one of the superstars of this generation and that's obvious and undeniable. And the girl can write a pop song.
But the only comparison to Madonna is that they both are excellent marketers.

That was the WW release date. The US got it on October 9, 1986. so it could be either of those.

Supposedly "True Blue" would be next. The original single release was September 29, 1986, so around the end of this month.

Well, as I said, I guess it depends of where you live but at least where I live I've never listened her on the radio (apart of shake it off) and I talk at work with people in her 20's and for them Taylor is like Madonna... A woman with success but they don't know one single song from them. In fact from Taylor they just know "Shake it up" and from Madonna just "Material girl". But ask them about Shakira (for saying one) and all of them think she sells more than Madonna in the 80's or Taylor now.
Maybe where you live they are all day playing Taylor everywhere... That's why is very difficult to know the truth. As @prayer said before here all they talk is about the money she makes and the admiration is for how she gets the money, not for her work. About what you say about Lady Gaga or Britney... I've listened to them everywhere at the time they start to get famous and they still play them on the radios something that I can't say about Taylor (and as I said, I'm talking about the reallity where I live. Maybe in the rest of the world is completly different).

Taylor Swift seems to be much more of a controlled construct as an industry player than Madonna ever was. As already stated, her music doesn’t reach across cultural divisions the way Madonna’s did. Madonna was a truly global powerhouse…Taylor Swift’s touring success is really more a reflection of today’s YOLO/FOMO consumerism on steroids. Attending the Eras Tour was the thing to do, and people do what everyone else is doing. Yes, it’s always been the case that corporatism dictates group think, but it’s far more palpable now than ever before. Madonna was antithetical to this, even if she was bankable. She was always an underdog, even at her commercial peak, and this was part of her appeal. Her exploration of different musical genres makes her discography particularly unique, and it’s Madonna’s ability to successfully lend her voice to almost any genre that  many young people today are in awe of when they discover her music. 
In Swift’s case, while there have been discernible shifts in the production of her albums over the course of her career, they aren’t innovative; they are adapted to sound current. Like Lana Del Rey, her musical style is quite consistent. In total honesty, I personally find this boring. When an artist stays faithful to the same songwriting style and delivery, I lose interest. I loved Del Rey through Ultraviolence, but it became an exercise in patience to endure her output thereafter. That isn’t to say she hasn’t made some great tracks since 2014, but the vibe never changes. I feel the same about Swift, except that I find her music extraordinarily tedious. Lyrically, she is confessional but lacks the poetry of Joni Mitchell to elevate the songs above a perpetual adolescent perspective on life, which is, I guess, why her music seems to appeal to children. At almost 35, she seems preternaturally stunted. I suppose one might say that Madonna was no beacon of maturity at 35 either, but her subversiveness combined with an implicit intellect gave depth to her work.
The media may elevate her as a cultural phenomenon, and clearly she is that to many. However, I think she peaked as a pop star with 1989. Midnights was like a comeback in my eyes, and so it’s hard to say what the future holds for her. Perhaps she will try other styles, but like Beyonce (Gaga doesn’t qualify at all at this stage as her influential cultural peak ended a decade ago), I think any effort to compare her to Madonna is pointless. Madonna has really managed to remain culturally, artistically and commercially influential for longer than anyone else. When Taylor has been in the game for over 40 years we can reassess. Until then, I think the most obvious conclusion lies in the notion that Swift has more VMAs than Madonna, and yet I can only recall seeing two of her videos in all these years. That explains it all in a nutshell. 

I told you it was all a set up. There's NO WAY Katy has won a voting award at her current flop status.
A JOKE.
