TS12 should either go full rock or full country. If she does full country, it would be a good way of setting up the release for Debut TV to guarantee 1M first week sales.

Loving this concept but doesn't The Anthology already gives off  Debut "acoustic" vibes?

 

Plus the Country elements on Fix Him, Slammer, and Guilty.

And what if I said I Hate It Here is the emotional lynchpin of her entire career

She should actually not go full rock nor full country at all. Rock is tired and over. Country is just now what people want.

 

Alt-rock or dance-country is where she should go.

My T6 songs haven't really changed a month in. I guess Who's Afraid is slowly climbing it's way back in after slipping out week 1. 

Although I think now I can def say my T2 are So High School, & But Daddy I Love Him. The most Speak Now coded tracks :eek: 

 

Aaron once again making the best tracks :clap3: #Rocklor2026

Please not Country if she's chasing commercial success... She has an actual international audience across Europe and Latin America now, a country album would be disaster in those markets....

The Anthology gives me more Vanessa Carlton vibes rather than country 🫠

I see a lot of Swifties asking for a rock album since 1989. The demand is there. Taylor goes against the current of what's popular anyways. She does what she wants. She can resurrect a dying genre.

I'm pretty sure 80% of swifties have not idea what rock music actually sounds like, tbh. I mostly see the gays online claiming they want that.

She's not going country. Pop radio would drop her so fast. International audiences would drop her so fast. Country radio will not play her. Country listeners will not support her. She's a liberal. Not happening.

:laugh: I think this is the sound they want. More pop/rock and more grunting? Lol

Exactly, and as we can see with Olivia Rodrigo, people are just not her for pop-rock. It's too juvenile, she needs to mature her sound.

I think when people say they want "rock" they just mean  they want the bops and upbeat songs to have more strings and live instruments. At least that's what I hope they mean, because the "pop-rock" sound she already did for Speak Now and some of Red.

I actually like those, truly showcase how delusional and manic that situationship really was. The desperation after six years of waiting gone down the drain. We don't deserve her vulnerability for real :weeps:

Precisely. It would be a new sound but still somewhat familiar. She could work with Kevin Parker too. She could also keep Jack and Aaron around… but for much less tracks. Patrik Berger randomly being a co writer on ILIPW makes me think she could work with him again In the future. I really don't want more than 4 Jack co productions. I don't mind Aaron as a songwriter though

I'm gonna say something controversial about my hopes for future collaborators for Taylor but she knows what's up:

 

Spoiler

r/TheShins - Azealia Banks Pushing For Taylor Swift to Date James Mercer Next

 

:dies:

 

I need her to hit up James Mercer for real.

When I say rock I mean this + SHS/HitsDiff/SOG/EyesOpen/ElectricTouch scattered about.

Guess I'm not a midnights success stan, that puts what Radio & TikTok would think over what I would think :alexz3: Thank God that wasn't her mindset after Over either.
