Ms. Togekiss Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Ever since the so high school single rumors came out I've been listening to it and I'm obsessed same with My Boy. I didn't obsessively spin TTPD as I did Midnights but that's probably because of how long it is. Even for midnights 20 tracks was too much so I cut it down to like 7-10 that I actually obsessed over. So a lot of these TTPD songs still sound relatively new once I actually listen to them 1

Enrique523 Posted October 3 Posted October 3 1 hour ago, Hobbes said: I initially thought the same as a 'Greatest Hits' tour feels like something you do when you're fully past your heyday but when you consider that Lover Fest was cancelled due to COVID, folklore/evermore probably wouldn't have smashed with their own tour like rep, and she'd also released Midnights, it really made sense to catch up. I see what you mean about catching up, i know a lot of Swifties were in favor of that because she didn't tour in years. I see the argument, i just thought at the time that the Eras Tour would be a traditional Greatest Hits Tour and i thought it was WAY too soon in her career to do something like that. She just had a pretty big commercial comeback with Midnights at that point and i thought she should focus on that, not do a legacy act kind of tour. But thankfully the Eras tour turned out to be very different from what i expected it to be so needless to say i completely changed my mind The Eras Tour is truly the best thing that arguably ever happened to her career, she literally got an ENTIRE NEW FANBASE thanks to it. And if you don't believe me you just need to look at her streaming numbers before and after the tour. The way her streaming numbers went up and NEVER WENT DOWN afterwards really shows that many people became Swifties as a result of the tour. She got a permanent boost from the tour, that just never happens with other artists, not to that degree
Arrows Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Remember when The Man initially out-streamed Cruel Summer for some time after Lover's release? How IDSB was deemed the smash of rep and did much better numbers than Don't Blame Me? Well, I'm not humble enough to keep it to myself that I knew all along what the real GP hits were, and vouched for both on here Let me just say, while everyone was focusing on ICDIWABH and Down Bad because of their streaming numbers, some of us knew what the real hit potential on TTPD was on first listen: 5

IIRC it got to 100M on Spotify like over a month ahead of Cruel Summer Still, your point is cogent 1
Enrique523 Posted October 3 Posted October 3 I know some people are still mad that she didn't release Cruel Summer back in 2019 but honestly it was for the best, i really don't think it would've smashed as hard back then, her career was in a different spot. 1
Dear Reader Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Also, allow me to criticize TTPD a bit here. After reading what @Klein wrote a few days ago, I started thinking about the sound and lyrics of the album and I have to agree with him. This album is extremely sad and I feel very melancholic when I listen to it. Don't get me wrong, I still think her lyricism is outstanding on this album, contrary to what many believe. I guess you really have to be in a certain gloomy mood to enjoy it fully and that's why I've been finding myself distancing a bit from it, but loved it so much when it came out since I was feeling way worse back then. 3

These two have always been close to each other. For TTPD, I don't know, she's not trying-trying this era unlike her passion on MID

Well, I guess my point was that I understand why some people would feel disconnected with the album and I guess that's why a lot of people didn't like it at first but are now coming around to liking it and vice-versa. It really isn't a criticism, you're right 1

Yeah same. I've been feeling very good lately and I'm really not in the mood for TTPD I fear (that I consider more depressing than sad tbh). Florida and So High School are kinda the only songs of the album I listen to these days. Spoiler But also the weather is getting colder so I'm back to being a full-time Red/evermore spammer for the next 3 and 6 months, respectively. 1
ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted October 3 ATRL Moderator Posted October 3 God I just love this album so much. Listening to the vinyl this morning and I just... truly one of the bests 2

I've always said that I wanted an entire album of basically hoax and SBT, and while TTPD doesn't fit that soundscape (though it certainly has tracks that do), the mood and ambiance absolutely does 2
PaloSanto Posted October 3 Posted October 3 guess this is their way of saying she wont be changing the setlist like some people theorized lol 4
Taylor fanboy Posted October 3 Posted October 3 A Compilation EP to a Double Album. SHE'S becoming LAZY. 1
Dear Reader Posted October 3 Posted October 3 that cover is incredible though! wish it was the cover to the live album if we get any
wastedpotential Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Now that she finally has a compilations tab on Spotify I'm gonna need her team to move all of the ugly chapters into there too 3

Imagine a boxset: 3cds, documentary, 2024 show She can leave the 2023 show as a Disney+ streaming exclusive and make people buy the new one only to sell the streaming rights to the highest bidder later 1
mael Posted October 4 Posted October 4 (edited) my bed sheets are ablaze I've screamed his name building up like waves crashing over my grave The way She sings "crashing over my grave" is like, top 1 moment on TTPD Edited October 4 by mael 1
Gladiator Posted October 4 Posted October 4 Been really vibing with Fortnight, loml, and The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. Really such good songwriting.
