Dance music is one of the genres she hasn't really touched right now but if she put all her creativity into it, she could easily make a Ray Of Light/Future Nostalgia/COADF kind of album. It'd be such a collapse

They just don't want country music because it would not be as successful as pop music and therefore they could not brag about Taylor's numbers like they are doing now. Morgan Wallen is actually the only successful country artist who's racist (afaik). Better Man is one of her best song ever, that would be AMAZING if she did something on that level.

That's not true. I've been a fan of hers long before I even know of these charts and stats. 1
byzantium Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 Not the You’re Losing Me slander. That song is one of the best on midnights. The bridge is a career highlight. 1 1 1
Lemon Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Her return to country should be teamed up with Jason Isbell, because his album is really solid, melodic masterpiece. They would blossom together just like Swift-Dessner. Her lyricism would be the best. He is also pretty meticulous songwriter with penchant for storytelling descriptions. We will need her Queen of Oklahoma at one point. Edited October 6, 2023 by Lemon

I refer to it as a rushed demo to address her breakup and that is it. It's not a Midnights song.

Tusk Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 95% of her songs about Joe included a fight or her crying and ya’ll think it should have worked out?
dussel_06 Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) The way Sl*t will serve I Can See You level of MIDness. Y’all believing there’s something good in Taylor’s collection of rejects. The only good vault track is Forever Winter. Edited October 6, 2023 by dussel_06 1 4

Folklore89sm Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 I’d really love the November surprise drop rumour on deuxmoi to be true. I feel like with her new level of fame, now would be the perfect time to put out an album that proves her abilities. She has been getting so much hate and criticism online for being a weak, one-note writer. If she hit the world with another genre change with the writing quality of folklore/evermore, it would be over for them.

If she hit the world with another genre change with the writing quality of folklore/evermore, it would be over for them. You know damn well the people saying she's a one-note writer will never change their mind. She has written about so many things, with a very diverse sonic pallet. Anybody saying otherwise is just someone that wants to belittle her skills as a songwriter (or didn't even bother to listen to her discography). She's proven time and time again that she is an amazing songwriter, and folklore/evermore is definitely not the only incredible things she's done on that aspect. Sure she's done the very wordy with these 2, but Fearless shines SO MUCH with its melodies, Red and Speak Now are extremely strong with lyrics in a different way than folklore/evermore (the formers have simpler lyrics but convey extremely raw emotions while the latters are more reflective and intellectualised), 1989 shows that she can adapt her lyrical and melodic output to the genre of music she is making, etc. She just keeps exploring and trying new things as she grows. Sure I absolutely want new music too (and I'd love for her to explore another genre too), as soon as possible, because I'll always be here for new music from her. But I don't really like this idea of releasing an album to "prove" anything to people that will not care anyway. It will never be over for a hater, for them she'll always only write for teenage girls about her ex boyfriends because somehow they never got past Fearless. Whatever she intends to do will be great as long as she approaches it like art and not with like a "goal" (like she did with Lover). She's become such a strong songwriter that she can always rely on that and trust her instincts. Edited October 6, 2023 by Klein 6
Repelex Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 Would've could've should've would hit even harder as a country song or at least as an acoustic guitar driven evermore-like song
