If y'all engaged with Swiftologist content outside of Twitter screenshots you'd discover he actually drags her significantly less than most of this thread does

I dont even know what to expect really. I just know i trust her on whatever she feels like doing. I just hope its not similar to Midnights, even though i loved it

If the amount of variants is less than 4 then I will unstan her. It’s simply an offense to our rich swiftie:ryan3:

My opinion align with the Baguetteologist more than the pick me swifties (except for the tragic Midnights doesn't deserve the AOTY video) but I can't stand condescending, sanctimonious hypocrites. He can't say he's outgrown Taylor and the fandom while having a YouTube channel and a podcast dedicated to analysing her every move :redface:.

Anyways, all the exclamation and question marks are making me nervous :ryan3:. They're giving me war flashbacks to Me! And Question..? (Which I like but it's not a quintessential Midnights song and could've been left on the target release)

I really can't stress enough how the track titles of TTPD are so much more intriguing and exciting than the Midnights' ones.

Picture this (she extends the tour till the end of summer 2025)

 

- TTPD April 2024 (FULL ERA, 3 singles - and of course she's going to have time to shoot the videos, the woman has 98 hours a day)

- rep tv February 1st 2024

- Debut tv June 3rd, 2024

- Last day of Eras Tour, August 18, announces TS12 + Eras/Rerecordings Documentary 

- TS12, October 19

- Documentary drop, January 2025

- Superbowl, February 2025 

 

omg.

i feel like this is because of Midnights Mayhem with Me, which let us soak in the titles gradually and erase the curiosity, while TTPD hit us like an emotional bus. 

 

TTPD Mayhem with Me would have watered down the shock factor.

I only know Chats and Reacts, love them.

It could be that, but I'm really not sure. There's nothing really exciting about "Sweet Nothing" when you compare it to "Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me?". "Question...?" does not compare with "Guilty as Sin?". Even the most simple titles on TTPD have something interesting going for them, like "loml" being an acronym really begs the question of what it could stand for. "Florida!!!" would be a flop title if it wasn't for the 3 "!!!" (I really wonder why she added those, and I was gagged after hearing "SLVT!" so I'm here for it).

Yeah, I think the TTPD titles evoke a certain mystery and introspection. I think Guilty as sin? Can go both ways on who is guilty (and I think it's a safe bet it's going to be her), Who's afraid of little old me? Also sounds like it's going to be self reflective and critical. Only Florida!!! Makes me nervous due to the exclamation points, and there are three of them no less :suburban:. Imagine poor Florence as a backing vocalist on a Mehehehehhehehe!!! Type song:khalyan2:.

omg. 

All of this sounds realistic actually, it’s what she’s been doing this whole time, except surprisingly, she has done ebeb more. 
 

There  one thing I’d like to add though: I bet after she’s done releasing all the re-recordings; she will drop a 1-week only Live version of all 10 of her albums, limited to 100k CDs each. 
 

this way she can take the 10/10 on the albums chart too :WAP:

Out of what I saw so far, "So Long, Loser" is my FAVORITE. It has so much layers to it. :dies:
