Jack Harlow had a much better week than Taylor Swift

by

Over the past fortnight, Jack Harlow’s music has been popular among many, with Ben Affleck being the exception. Recently, Harlow regained the leading position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, which he had temporarily lost to Megan Thee Stallion a week prior. Harlow’s song “Lovin on Me” has now spent six weeks at the top of the chart after being bumped down to second place last week.

It’s quite possible that Taylor Swift isn’t aware of it, but for at least a week, she’s been immersed in the realm of Jack Harlow. This hip-hop artist has made a comeback on the music charts and even starred in a humorous Dunkin’ Donuts commercial directed by Ben Affleck, which was broadcast during the Super Bowl. In this advertisement, there are numerous laugh-out-loud moments, but it’s Harlow’s brief scene where he gets to demonstrate his acting abilities.

Affleck and Harlow are riding in a car, with Affleck expressing his belief in his music career destiny. He explains, “I have this feeling it’s meant to be because I keep hearing a voice telling me not to make this awful mistake.” To this, Harlow replies, “That could very well be the guidance you require.” The irony is unmistakable.

Harlow shows great acting skills, even though he hasn’t had many opportunities to do so. His charm and modesty shine through in his performances. It appears that Ben Affleck was impressed by Harlow based on what Casey, his brother, shared during the filming of The Instigators, where Harlow also acted. This is why Affleck decided to cast Harlow for his commercial as well.

Jack Harlow has a Taylor Swift kind of week

Essentially, my perspective is this: As Jack Harlow continues to gain visibility in both rapping and acting, it’s likely we’ll see even more of him. This isn’t necessarily a negative development. He seems genuinely enthusiastic about his work, whether it’s on the mic or on screen. In fact, some people speculate he could be the next Will Smith, potentially focusing more on acting than music in the future. If that happens, let’s make the most of the content he’s putting out now, while we still can.

“Stream ‘Loving on Me’ with millions – it’s a hit! The production is strong yet uncomplicated, featuring Harlow rapping over a bassline. Lyrics like, “‘I could choke you but I ain’t no killer,'” have an edge yet are inviting simultaneously. Few artists can pull off this balance of danger and warmth.

As a devoted Taylor Swift fan, I can’t help but feel deeply saddened by the events that have unfolded this past week. Learning about the tragic accident that took the life of a 16-year-old fan on her way to one of Taylor’s concerts in Melbourne was heartbreaking enough. But then, the news about the shooting during Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs victory parade, which resulted in another senseless loss of life, just made it all the more unbearable. It’s a week no one should ever have to endure, and I truly hope that such misfortune never befalls Taylor or anyone else. Of course, these tragic events were not within her control, but they have undoubtedly left an indelible mark on us all.

Currently, Jack Harlow seems fully in charge of his professional journey. Just as all artists experience fluctuations in popularity, Taylor Swift’s fame may eventually decrease at some point. If that happens, it’s possible that Jack Harlow could step up and take on a more prominent role in the music scene.
