JAKARTA - Taylor Swift's reputation as a pop diva seems to be able to make a Robbie Williams feel ciut. The British singer admitted that the release of her album had to withdraw because she could not compete.

The former Take That member will actually release his latest album titled BRITPOP on October 10. This album is very important for him because it has been a marker of 10 years since his previous album.

The album must be postponed from October 10 to February 6 next year. Robbie is indicated not to want to compete with Taylor Swift's recently released album, The Life of a Showgirl.

Initially, the allegation came from one of the fans on the X platform. "BRITPOP Robbie Williams has been postponed from October 10 to February 6, 2026. It is possible to avoid clashes with Taylor Swift," the fan quoted NME as saying, October 13.

This is quite reasonable because Robbie has her own mission to reach the top album position. This is to match the reputation of The Beatles as the most successful British band of all time.

Until October 9 yesterday, Robbie held a very limited intimate concert with the audience. There he bluntly said his fear of competing with Taylor Swift.

"We all pretend this is not about Taylor Swift, but it turns out to be. You can't compete with her," Williams told the audience. "This is the reality: I want 16 albums Number One. Taylor then decided to release his album on the same weekend as me," he said.

Especially now that Oasis is also bouncing back through his tour. Robbie Williams also felt that the release of the album at the beginning of next year was the best solution for her.

"'For God's sake! Let's release it in February while no one has released an album yet," he said.

BRITPOPakan is the 14th full album he released as a soloist. Some of his works have resulted in success including EP, soundtrack, and compilation that put his name as a top musician in the UK.
