ATRL Moderator Popular Post Ampersand13 Posted July 12 ATRL Moderator Popular Post Posted July 12 Just one more thing that I absolutely adore about this album is her mastery of the extended metaphor. Specifically on songs like Down Bad and Fresh Out the Slammer. I've been going through her discography and realized that it's kind of rare for her to dedicate an entire song to just one metaphor. She's already proven her proficiency with anecdotal songwriting from the beginning (ATW, Enchanted, Last Kiss, Style, Delicate, Cardigan, etc.) but in every section of Down Bad/Fresh Out the Slammer she incorporates the bigger metaphor of getting abducted and abandoned or the freedom of getting released from jail. It's a tactic I'd love to see her use even more 18

All they know how to do is release remixes that would amount to the same streaming units as just pushing it up the playlist She absolutely is able to do it, she/her label are choosing not to do it for some weird reason. The same thing happened with Cruel Summer, it was smashing but it wasn't that high on TTH.
vale9001 Posted July 12 Posted July 12 (edited) i can do it with a 1989 heart is an official radio single here and made her best debut week ever (inside the top 30 on week 1). I don't get if it's international or only in selected countries. It is officially the new global single? Edited July 12 by vale9001

Dear Reader Posted July 12 Posted July 12 1 hour ago, on the line said: I Hate it Here has the folklore magic in it. Love this song so so much. I relate to it living in dumpy west coast big cities :( I live in a very small village and I still can relate to it. I think that and The Prophecy are the songs I relate to most at the moment. Spoiler which also indicates I might need therapy but who cares when you have Taylor's music 4

piotrert Posted July 12 Posted July 12 i want her to go shameless payola for one song. autoplay, airplay whatever - just to see how effective it would be. put those money from variants in good use sis 1
cruelhprince Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Just now, Dear Reader said: Maybe she's showing the video tomorrow? I'm clowning counting on that July 13th seems like a good release date to me 1

Lille Posted July 12 Posted July 12 11 hours ago, Cleanromantic said: she needs to write a Broadway musical like now Her songs are already super theatrical and the eras tour is basically a Broadway show masquerading as a pop show, especially the ttpd set. The drama a boadway voice would add to her lyrics and melodies. We will ABSOLUTELY be getting a Mamma Mia! type jukebox musical within a decade or two, when she can devote more time to it. I would bet money on it, it's such an easy slam-dunk. 1
vale9001 Posted July 12 Posted July 12 (edited) oh of course a taylor juxe box musical will come and i don't think we need to wait that much, probably even before 10 years. Actually after the boom of the eras tour movie i wouldn't be surprised about a musical movie with her songs. Edited July 12 by vale9001
vale9001 Posted July 12 Posted July 12 I love this cover so much. This Is like being on the cover of Time in the US. It's the most important weekly magazine about politics and culture. Being on the cover is a very big thing. Also i like the description in the cover cause they didn't only write "a pop icon has a huge impact in politics and economics" as you can ready everywhere but also "her djscography is a coming age novel for millions of people". I never thought to It in this exactly same way and i think it's a perfect description of the essence of Taylor's life work 4
IBeMe Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Idk why but Fresh out the Slammer reminds me of August. I cant put my finger on why but I think it may be because it sounds very breezy...idk. Anyone else? 3

I can't wait for her movie directing chapter of her career yall

I want her to do everything she can to make ICDIWABH as big of a hit as possible. Who cares what other people will say, they'll hate her no matter what.

It's a different rhythm entirely, but there's something very similar to me 1 1
MardinBeksloy Posted July 13 Posted July 13 hopefully TTPD era lasts to 3 singles because we know she taking a big break after the Eras Tour.
Buffy Posted July 13 Posted July 13 Would yall ever want Taylor to go back to her old songwriting style (Debut, Fearless, Speak Now, and Red)? There's something really nostalgic with the way she used to write back then.

If she keeps TTPD up to 3 singles, chances of reputa and debut TV happening this year would only get slimmer and slimmer Actually keeping both for 2025 during a "break" year from music would be pretty clever to avoid fatigue and keep her momentum for TS12 going for 2026.

There's something really nostalgic with the way she used to write back then. I know what you mean, but I think it's just nostalgia talking. As her writing evolves further I think we'll look back at this era of writing with similar fondness. 2

Release rep tv and debut during her 'break' year is the best thing for her to do tbh. She's not everywhere but at the same time her name is still popping up.
