album Taylor Swift - 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

I've reached a point where I can comfortably say:

 

1. 1989

2. folklore

3. THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT (+1)

4. Red (Taylor's Version) (-1)

 

It really feels like miss Alison drilled into my brain, stole my thoughts and figured out how to make the perfect album according to my taste. It's INSANE how much I love this album

 

Spoiler

(the first 16 tracks, not the terrible mess The Fartology)

alas 1989 and folklore might be immovable because of different experiences lived through them/how much they mean to me/pop bible/ folk pop bible 

[LostInStereo100]

What are the week by week sales of this album so far? I wonder if it will get a boost in the update that comes after next week from all the news today

I think she's announcing rep tv in sweden

Also all the Spotify canvases are gone

Spotify canvases are glitching overall. It's not unique to TTPD

[hoax]

Oh evermore is starting to fight back on my ranking as I feared it might

 

I was just ruminating in the slight orchestral strings of the TTDS bridge (a place I can often be found) just basking in the glory. What an incomparable collection of sounds she and bbgworl Aaron put together 

 

I hope that TayChurch service in Germany played TTDS, because that's quite literally the closest her career has ever felt to God 

[hoax]

But oh, wastedpotential, you say, what about The Prophecy and The Albatross and HDIE?? Aren't those collections of sounds just as Godly? To that, I have no answer 

 

why couldn't this woman have made The Anthology the b-side of evermore to make my life that much easier

 

She just loves torturing us

The way I was LITERALLY about to quote you and, while of course praising Tis The Damn Sermon, ask about The Prophecy 

[PoisonedIvy]

evermore and TTPD are kind of like The Batman and Joker. One won't kill the other and the other won't stop until it's killed.

Has anyone listened to the new memos yet? Are they worth it?

[fridayteenage]

as someone who talks about taylor more than god, i'm still kinda uncomfortable with

"What if I roll the stone away?
They're gonna crucify me anyway
What if the way you hold me
Is actually what's holy?"

 

i'd feel this more so if this was ever a single

The 1989 voice memos from the 2014 deluxe aren't really worth it so not much could possibly be different this time around. It's fun to peer into the mind of her compositions but it doesn't offer much replay value or long term reward. It's literally just a building block that keeps the fans engaged and connected to her craft + validates her branding as a songwriter in the long run.

The potential blocking is worth the purchase anyway 

 

it's a preorder only, the emails with the downloads have not gone out yet. So no one has heard them.

She is saying that she would be dragged through the mud even with dating God. No matter who she loves, it's never good enough for her fans/media.

Do we know what Billdred's 2nd week numbers usually look like cuz if she is blocked on her first week she may push for her 2nd week to go #1...maybe Taylor Dom Top Swift should save some of those "But Daddy I Love Him" copies for the week after too  

[Magickarp]

Is this what she meant by tattoo kiss

EDIT: HIS TEETH WHAT THE ****

 

 

"But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs"

Well she got her what-if i guess

You know... I've been coming to terms with the fact that a lot of my favorite Taylor songs are about that man, but... I didn't need this visual 

[Buffy]

Help.  The angry Eras performance of Illicit Affairs has totally ruined my listening experience. The album version sounds so lifeless and hollow by comparison  Why does she always perform better versions of songs on tour? 

[Goaty]

some of you have never been charmed by an ugly man and it shows 

[ALA]

.... I'll bite my tongue if it happens but tiktok swifties are really clowning for Rep TV announcement?  maybe she should just release it as the speculation is so ollllld

[sasashite]

Do we already know if the cds are shipping this week?
