album Taylor Swift - 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'

[1989]

I feel like Rep TV will definitely be announced at Eras as it's a re-recording; it's the pattern she's set so far. Plus, a re-recording isn't quite as big as an entirely new album (although it comes close as we've seen from 1989 TV), so it makes sense she would keep it more "for the fans" and announce it at Eras. 
 

I'm prepared to absolutely lose my sh*t for the show this happens at though, and I'm not even a Rep girlie. Imagine we finally get a new outfit.

The biggest giveaway that rep is getting an announcement during Eras is that she hasn't done IDSB yet.

I'm 100% sure she's saving IDSB & Cassandra for rep TV announcement.

This! and it will be during the last leg of the Eras tour which is in the end of the year, late Nov or Early Dec, and she can release rep TV in Feb 2025, then TTPD Anthology physical during the mid year, and then self titled later in Q4.

The pattern has been 

2019 - 1 album

2020 - 2 albums

2021 - 2 albums 

2022 - 1 album

2023 - 2 albums

so hmm there isn't a pattern yet.

alchemy going viral thanks to olympics wasn't on my bingo. first Chinese gold medalist sharing it, now edits with duplantis and his girlfriend (who is also swiftie lol)

[campelo]

it's obvious that she will announce 20/08 and will go to a one month break, the album will be released 18/10 

 

Same thing for Debut being announced in Vancouver for a 2025 release

[Magickarp]

It's crazy how Cardigod served 1 -> 8 -> 24 and didn't chart on the year end H100, but is now her 7th most streamed song of all time, & her 6th most streamed daily song. 4th without TTPD.

 

The definition of a CLASSIQUE.

Only her best song

have we seen a direct streaming boost because of this? I'd be happy if Alchemy got more love tbh

The only thing that makes me wonder about the timeline of the remaining rerecordings is that TTPD is still going much stronger than I think anyone expected at this point. The Anthology could seriously have enough steam left in it, if it got a physical release, to spend another month or more at #1 on the Billboard 200. That puts a hypothetical Reputation TV and TSTV in a little bit of an awkward place - they're going to do well no matter what, so does she put them off for a while to really milk TTPD for all it's worth, or risk dampening TTPD's momentum to release those while she's clearly still having her moment as an industry force?

I'm of the belief that she should wait to release the remaining two TVs. There is no rush. TTPD is a juggernaut and deserves a proper era with at least three singles and a Anthology physical release. Reputation TV and Debut TV would be perfect for 2025 to extend this zenith of her career and also to mark the 20th anniversary of her amazing career (or at least closer to it lol). I really hope she holds them off a bit longer.

Just re-read the thread's thoughts on the various variant announcements + Anthology drop.  It was so fun.

 

Still don't understand why all the Taylor haters listened to the leak before the actual Swifties did lmao.

I remember this thread going by so fast when The Anthology was announced, it was an insane thing

And when that sky rains fire on you
And you're persona non grata
I'll tell you how I've been there too
And that none of it matters

I hate that it's looking more and more likely that Debut TV won't be released at all during the remaining Eras shows. Wouldn't it make sense to release it and give it its own setlist like she did for TTPD? I think Debut TV should have an announcement + release before Rep TV. And then she can announce the release of Rep in 2025. Rep will automatically sell 1 million. It's already a popular album. Debut TV needs the biggest push.

I think we all know why…

Taylor Alison Swift occupies so much of their brain capacity and there wasn't many gigabytes to begin with. The never-ending struggle of an OTH.

 I kind of feel the same at this point. As much as I want to hear the last two rerecordings, TTPD just has so much gas left in the tank that I feel like she should capitalize on it while she can - it's not like either TV will flop at this point. And selfishly, I kind of want physical copies for The Anthology just for myself, regardless of how wide the release is or how it impacts the charts. To be clear, though, I want a very wide, aggressive release so everyone can get copies and so it lasts on the charts. She could essentially make a second full (but smaller) promotional run for the album out of it, with a new music video, abundant copies, signed editions and a couple variants - it's very easy at this point to see it helping the album as a whole cross 20 total weeks at #1. And best of all, we could get a couple more bonus tracks along the way.

[Mighty Oaks]

Is there a reason why she hasn't released physical copies of The Anthology? There's so many career highlights on that side of the album. 

[Nein]

Also, a reminder The Black Dog variant is her best album cover, it's not even biases from the fact she announced it at my show.

 

and my ass WON when she reused the picture for The Anthology!

Our fan base definitely has the opposite problem from others. Other fan bases are desperate for their fave to release. Meanwhile, Swifties struggle with Taylor releasing too quickly or not quickly enough. We want the TVs but we also want her to hold off so they don't disrupt her new albums (TTPD, TS12, etc).  I think the Eras period will continue long after the tour is over until the TVs are all finally released. Until then, I don't know when we'll actually see a traditional standalone era.

She's probably saving it for an occasion. I don't think she would sell it on Record Store Day since that's a limited release event… but who knows…

[fridayteenage]

I was looking at album sales and looks like midnights for 2022+2023 combined is 2791k.

 

poets would be around 2697k by the end of this week, and we still have 4.5 months to go. oh wow.

Yeah, she's definitely saving it for a reason. I just can't wait to own a physical copy of it as although TTPD has many great songs, The Anthology tracks took it to another level.
