She probably already re recorded REP TV and TS12

 

TS13 has already been planned since day 1. I'm sure she always thought what her 13th album would be.

i know it won't happen because she doesn't write alone very often anymore and she did it so heavily in her early career to prove herself as a songwriter, but i would DIE for TS13 to be comepletely solo written. peak now is so special because it feels so quintessentially taylor - no outside voices are diluting or distorting the essence of who she is both as a songwriter and narrator. i would gag if she did another completely solo written project for TS13 as sort of a celebration of what makes her such a unique and singular voice

 

Spoiler

in all reality, it will probably be the "prodigal daughter" return to country music record

Spoiler

which makes it being written solely by her even more possible

She isn’t ever returning to country. At least not this decade.

some people here are missing two things:

 

*in Tokyo, she clearly said that she's been working on TTPD for the past two years. the project started then and she kept it as a secret. 

*in Melbourne, she's been talking repeatedly and incessantly about her freedom of "shifting genres" which means TTPD will probably different from Midnights 

 

If I compare the Midnights 2023 Grammy look with the The Tortured Poets Department 2024 Grammy look, she looks like an unhinged femme fatale who just left a madhouse. So, if the looks are any indication, I think the album will be more bold and risky, perhaps with psychedelic elements.

I wouldn't be so sure. With that guy chart success, Beyonce and Lana making country albums... 'going back to her roots' it's actually this kind of marketing thing she would do at some point.

I mean the Delicate snippet was great, but the LWYMMD one... :lakitu:

Can she re record that again? Why she ruined LWYMMD like that? :rip:

I keep going over the tracklist every day :clap3: Each title sounds legendary, but I am most excited for Who's Afraid of Little Old Me (Hee-HEEEEE)? for some reason. :twirl:

But will Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me be equally classic like Who’s Afraid of Virgina Woolf? Elizabeth Taylor leads the movie after all. :celestial6:

I thought we left "Solo Written" is the only authentic taylor narrative in the 2010s :zzz:. The people she works with always say she's the one writing the topline and they guide her musically; yet some parts of the fandom want her solo on the credits just so they can brag about it on the internet. I wonder why this narrative is never hurled at any other songwriting artist (Lana, Lorde, any male artist) yet Taylor constantly needs to prove herself so that twitter swifties will use the credits in their endless fights with Beyonce and Ariana stans :zzz:

Especially when the only solo written song on the last album is Vigilante **** :dies:


Give that girl a co-writer not to write in her place, but just to help her organize her countless ideas and tell her no when necessary. 

 

EDIT: that sounds way harsher than I mean it to be. All I mean is that a co-writer helps her focus and take the best out of her ever-flowing creative juice.

never said it was the only authentic taylor!! not at all what i meant! it's pretty obvious every album of hers is authentic to her identity as an artist and person. i just think speak now is the album where every aspect of her is on display. never said it is her MOST authentic - i just think it is the most complete depiction of her as a narrator.

I think this was just a reference to Sleeping Beauty considering the Bejeweled MV was based on Cinderella. :chick1:

I'd be EXTREMELY surprised if she didn't. 

 

The longevity might not match Midnights, because Midnights was crazy. But TTPD is 100% set to an even crazier debut. I mean even 1989 TV got close to Midnights, and that's a decade-old album. :deadbanana4:

The only aspect on display on Speak Now is her being wordy :suburban:. Speak Now stans are known as the og puta stans for a reason :suburban:

What we need is for Aaron to create the musical beds for her storytelling to run wild, Speak Now musically is very tame and paint by the numbers 2000 country/pop rock, thankfully she's not blinded by nostalgia like the majority of the fandom and realizes she needs to grow as an artist.

If TTPD's 16 tracks are on the same god level as the tracklist of Folklore and Evermore or even just Red, longevity will probably be guaranteed, Midnights had many excellent tracks but also some subpar tracks, yet it served up longevity + huge debut. If she plays her cards, releases a GREAT first single along with the album, then longevity is a given, especially with the Eras Tour still underway

More hate usually means you are bigger, although there must be a ceiling. I think she can beat Midnights' opening numbers because since then she has grown quite a lot outside the US, specially LATAM and Europe, but in the US I think she will do similar numbers.

What are the OG recordings you come back to the most? To me, the OG Red still holds a very special place in my heart. It was the era that I became a swiftie. Listening to SoG, Treacherous and All Too Well for the first time was an experience so I come back to them often. (I try not to stream it, aside IKYWT, 22 and WANEGOD)

None from Fearless.

None from Speak Now.

Red, IKYWT, ATW, 22, Holy Ground, EHC from Red.
Style, SIO, IWYW from 1989.
