Taylor Swift - 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'

I found the article, it's so crazy that they're collaborating. PRAISE JACK :jonny4:

Florence & The Machine’s ethereal last album, Ceremonials, referenced mythology and Virginia Woolf. With this record, Welch was finally ready to tackle her personal life. She says Swift made her more comfortable putting her own experiences into song: “Taylor said that you must sing about what’s happening in your life.” (Says Swift: “She’s the most fun person to dance with at a party, but then five minutes later you find yourself sitting on the stairs with her having an in-depth conversation about love and heartbreak.”) “It’s definitely not about trying to be vindictive,” says Welch. “It’s about being honest. This could’ve been a breakup record,” she adds, presumably referring to her longtime off-and-on relationship with well-connected British event producer James Nesbitt, which was closely followed by the U.K. tabloids. “But it was much more about trying to understand myself."

I remember I had to pull this up once for someone because they suggested Tay/Florence don’t have any connections, so the collab ‘feels random’ :deadbanana4:

 

I was like… babes, they’ve BEEN friends, this is long overdue! I’ve been holding on to this interview for years in hopes they’d once collab, in some capacity, or that Taylor would serve the reverse and get inspired by HBHBHB for an album. I bet many Swifties don’t even know they’re friends :rip:

Whew these are so gorgeous, especially when all together. That last variant with a very dark border is gonna pull these together so beautifully. I think it’s her most properly thought-out aesthetic and visual direction to date.

I’m so curious to see them. Those pages on the vinyls got me so excited

I just need the whole photoshoot ASAP. The visible photo card for the Albatross version looks sooo gorg

 

What I’m interested to see is if there’s like a visual theme / concept going on, similar to how Midnights was very clearly all photographed on a set meant to resemble a small 70s house. Imagine the serve if the last variant is something like her in a busy hotel lobby with motion blurred people walking around her. In that case, the bedroom photos would then be from a hotel room and perhaps the ocean photo could conceptually be from the balcony of a room? It’s weird how there isn’t any shore visible.
 

Anyway that’s an ultra-specific concept that popped into my head the other day, I’m probably overthinking it and it won’t be that deep but I think it would be nice :snowball:

The way I've convinced myself this 4th variant is called The Bowery and will probably be sad when it's not called that. The way it'd probably outpass the last variant too soley based on the drama surrounding the name. :redface:

Target variant incoming, at least. Also, seeing as only The Manuacript variant had a CD with a poster thus far, I hope that means we get three other variants with an exclusive poster at Target. It does seem like they’re following 1989 TV’s rollout, which also had just a standard version with a poster at first on her website, and then the others at Target

When she randomly announces rep tv instead of a new variant, then what? :suburban:
