Hasn’t it only been 2 weeks? I feel like we said this about midnights and 1989 TV too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is for the "late" Swifties, what are the top 5 moments you wish you could have lived through/experienced as a Swiftie? Mine would be 1. folklore surprise drop 2. The Speak Now World Tour 3. The Reputation announcement with the snakes and **** 4. The Red countdown (with new songs released each week) 5. evermore surprise drop I feel like I've missed soooooooo much wait are you a new-ish swiftie? I had no idea!

I decided to give her a chance because I thought that if she released 2 albums in 2020, that must mean it was worth it. I fell completely in love with evermore, then I listened to folklore. Finally, I became full-on completely obsessed Swiftie after Red TV. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byzantium Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Everyone what are Taylor’s top 5 album rollouts? Here are my favorites: 1) Red. She released 5 songs prior to the release (plus Ronan) and they were nothing but fun and quality. Then the debut week she was EVERYWHERE. I think what made this one special was how we had little idea where she was going. WANEGBT->Begin Again -> Red -> IKYWT -> State of Grace…what a time to be alive! 2) Speak Now. Similar to Red. Amazing rollout and she was everywhere during the debut week. I feel like new swifties will not remember this but debut weeks for Taylor swift from Speak Now to 1989 were events. Her face was everywhere. Also the first 1 million debut was wild. (Little did we know…) 3) folklore. This rollout lasted a day, but what a day! I could not believe that Taylor A swift finally made the folk album she was always destined to make less than a year after lover. 4) 1989. This was a little like speak now and red. Massive event and the whole world was talking. I think she promoted this album more than any prior (at least before the release). My only issue is the pre-release singles SIO, OOTW, and WTNY were not her best. 5) reputation. The follow up to 1989 and everyone was ready. Time stopped when the LWYMMD music video was released. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For almost everyone except Taylor they barely give a **** after release week too. We’re so lucky she’s established herself as THE album artist of this century, making her immune to the generally dying attention span of the average person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like I've known a lot but from what I gathered: 1) Red. Like I said, I would just have loved to live through the Red countdown. And the era was extensive. I would have loved to experience that. 2) Debut. She was performing everywhere, even songs that weren't on the album. And only 1989 rivals the singles selection. 3) Speak Now. Just for how amazing all the music was. 4) folklore. Barely a rollout so that's why it's so low, but I would give everything to experience a surprise drop from Taylor. 5) 1989. Just because... 1989.

Who did you stan on this site before Tay I wasn't a very active member at the time, but I used to be a Navy. I think evermore and folklore also came at a time where I was very struggling with mental health (thanks covid), and I got really attached to them because they helped me a lot. evermore in particular is an album I put on everytime I start to feel overwhelmed or a bit too stressed because it takes me somewhere else and calms me down. That's how I built such a strong connection to Taylor's music, and from there I discovered her catalogue and kept falling more and more in love with her with each new album I was listening to. It helped me understand so much of what I had gone through in my life, that I had always repressed. Before covid, I truly never wanted to face any negative emotion I've ever felt and like I said, repressed all of those. After covid and therapy, I became much more open to understanding and feeling all these buried emotions and Taylor's discography truly helped me get through those by putting the right words next to these moments and feelings.

folkloreking Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I still remember getting the notification for folklore. Was playing video games with a friend and I couldn’t even process the tweet at first. New album…? And it’ll be out in… 16 hours?! Just like that?! Everything from the title to aesthetics and the prologue made me realize we’d be getting a decade-defining body of work. Then came the double gag of evermore. I just knew smth was up when she or Taylor Nation used 9 tree emojis in a post… but I was still shocked to see her actually dropping a SECOND album within the same year. The rest is Taystory. I definitely believe that she’s gonna repeat this surprise drop strategy when we least expect it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wastedpotential Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 And the first snake post was made the morning of the first day of my last year of high school, so lets just say I didn't make good first impressions with any of my teachers because I spent the entire day on twitter But yeah, I really got into online Taylorism in late 2011, so I have fond memories of LP4 turning into Red. When I say I practically shat myself watching that YouTube premiere of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and then again when Begod Again was released for the countdown.
