I Look In People's Windows is so underrated tbh. I wish it was a bit longer,  but it's such a haunting song

Sooooo soo good. I need the fan base to recognize this. 

 

Feels like the successor to DBATC too. I'm so glad She released DBATC as a random droplet during the wait between Reputation and folklore :heart2:

Clara Bow is such a good album closer (well, of Side A). I've been loving it more and more with every listen, there's something about it that encapsulates Taylor's story in a music industry, full of triumphs and struggles, on a commercial and personal level. What particularly hits me the most is the outro: 
 

You look like Taylor Swift

In this light, we're loving it

You've got edge, she never did

The future's bright, dazzling

 

The self-acknowledgement of her position in the industry, combined with a bit of regret? Maybe fear of being replaced, misunderstood? It's so powerful. She really did that

What songs do you guys think will be part of the TTPD set on the tour, if something like that happens?

 

My guess: Fortnight, Down Bad, Guilty As Sin, I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, and So High School.

I'm thinking:

 

1. Fortnight, because it's the lead single

2. My Boy, because it would go off in a stadium

3. Broken Heart, since it's so very meta, about the tour and a destined fan-favourite

4. The Alchemy, because she'll probably want something about Travis included. It also sounds ready for stadiums, and was also inspired by being in one.

 

Since the tour set was probably planned before the album release, I could also see the title track being included. I wouldn't be surprised if she left out Down Bad, since it's very ~vibey~ instead of explosive, despite being a great song. A So Long London interlude (specifically the intro) would be lovely. My personal hopes would be But Daddy I Love Him + Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me. I think both would be a major moment.

 

Those are my predictions! For some reason, I don't think anything from The Anthology will be included.

It's like Midnights + folkmore, but better. They can't be serious :bam:

in 2 weeks we'll find out if she added any of the songs on tour :duca: 

if it has its own section I hope it's:

Florida!!!

Fortnight (I think this is given)

So Long, London

Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?

and 1 new song from The Anthology each night :duca:

I'm lonely, but I'm good
I'm bitter, but I swear I'm fine
I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life and I'll get lost on purpose
This place made me feel worthless

 

Aaaaaa.

 

And then She hits us with the most gorgeous fleeting melody:

 

Lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me and in my fantasies I rise above it
And way up there, I actually love it

 

Inject ittttttttt

Unfortunately, I totally see The Anthology getting relegated to surprise songs :gaycat6:

Long may you reign
You're an animal
You are bloodthirsty
Out window panes talking utter nonsense
You have no idea

 

the melody she created here is otherworldly

I was once again proven right, she sounds best within simplicity :jonny: Songs like The Prophecy, Cassandra, Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus, The Albatross, The Black Dog, Clara Bow etc. are the ones that I think I listen to the most. I just love her stripped down sound, let the lyrics and her voice carry the song which is why I considered Evermore her best work before.

Fortnight and ICDIWABH are 100% there
Clara Bow is very likely 
Down Bad or MBOBHFT is probably also there (but only 1 of them)
TTPD track maybe
The Smallest Man bridge alone would be great (illicit affairs moment)
Guilty As Sin is gonna be there ONLY if it's gonna be a single

that's how I think

Is it possible she added TTPD to the tour?

Her pop eras usually have at least 3 videos ready to go, which two songs do yall think have pre-recorded videos? :thing:

i look in people's windows makes me choke up even tho some of the lines are funny. like the pure unhinged heartbroken desperation of wandering a city looking through windows longing for just one more moment of that connection is so tragic idk grammys grammys grammys for that one

For a

moment

I was

heavenstruck....

I can't believe I didn't like this song on first listen and now it's probably top 5 on the whole album. The way she could EAT in a music video for this.... Scenes of her walking on the treadmill at the gym, crying, but staring blankly into the camera, singing. And an aerial shot of her in the grass with the wind blowing around her, sensually waiting for the spaceship to return. And a cute little love story arc with Post Malone (minus tattoos again) playing the alien. Come on Taylor, give us a video :WAP:
