There was literally no clues about MID having a part ✌️, until like a day before.

And wasn't it just some random radio host speculating, not actual hints from her?

 

This ***** probably saw that in the news, & decided then that she'd torture us in the next release

Pulling a folkmore 2.0 with TS12 also scheduled for this year makes sense if she wants to finish the TVs in 2025, then celebrate 20 years of career with the highly significant 13th album. :ryan3:

 

She’s been very unpredictable since 2020, so for now I’m just gonna relax and wait for TTPD. :ducky:

I think TTPD will probably her peak opening sales for several reasons:

 

- We're in the peak or slightly past the peak of Taylormania (I'd say the Superbowl was the peak) 

- A very noticeable fatigue has started kicking in from the general public and even casuals started hating on her all over the social media.

- She's putting bonus tracks on each edition for the first time, which will boost the sales. If she attempts it again it will have diminishing returns. 

- This will be her first brand new album since the start of Taylormania. The next one won't have as much novelty factor. 

- She's out of a 6 year relationship and she's dating a famous hunk. Everyone is here for the gossip and they might look for it on this album. The next album won't have the same set of major events surrounding it. 

 

 

Everyone thought Midnights would be her absolute peak, that she would never top 1989’s debut, she’d never get a million sales again after Rep, and everything post-Lover would be a decline. You just never know with Taylor.

Even if there's a second album coming this year, it's not dropping before the autumn

EDIT: and I doubt that she would hint at it before the ttpd release

I’ve always said I think we’d get a new album this year. It seems to be this might be a depressing record to hear just going off the tracklist and I think it would make total sense to then get the opposite of poets and maybe because now she’s in love again we might get a light and fluffy lover 2.0 maybe this year or once the re recordings are over with. 
 

it makes total sense she’d finish the tour with TS13

I feel like Tortured Poets could do a great job appealing to the “straight guy” demography. They won’t ever be her most important album buyers, but they could be very useful to secure those massive streaming debuts.:celestial5: 
With all the focus from football, the “serious” aesthetic, the sexy pose on the cover and a possible rock/alt/pop sound (but with more energy than folkmore), Poets should expand her audience.:celestial5:

Not to mention the Post Malone feature and kinda “masculine” song titles:celestial5:

I cant wait for her to remove the surprise songs act to add songs from this album

Put me on the brother album clownery.........

She will of course release album ✌️on May ✌️✌️ weeks after TTPD. jk but also not

 

Tbh I think she finished TTPD in August 2023. And it's possible she got inspired when she met Travis and she started to work on TS12 right afterwards. We will see what happens, but I do think the ✌️is sus.

What if it's actually 2^2 = 4 :jonny5: She did ✌️, on the ✌️nd night, standing on top^ of a stage.

 

Notice how 13 = 1+3 = 4 :jonny5: 

Notice how there are 4 variants :jonny5:

Notice how she broke her 1 word album title, & turned it into 4 :jonny5: 

 

We are only at the THE edition of TTPD :jonny5: 

That's why all the bonus tracks start with THE :jonny5:

 

Tortured  _ _ _ _ _ _

Poets  _ _ _ _ _ _

Department  _ _ _ _ _ _

 

Bonus tracks are coming :jonny5: 

Quadruple album, quadruple album :jonny5:

I was gonna object to that translating into anything substantial but I've been seeing KC Chiefs fanpages post about her album variants in support the last couple of weeks. :dies: Apparently a lot of them tuned in for the Grammys just to see if she wins her awards. Kinda cute and more supportive than some "Swifties" if you ask me :redface:

She's officially Chiefs Kingdom's MVP (Most Valuable Princess) :dies: I'm in a couple of Chiefs groups and it's been hilarious watching them embrace her and get introduced to Taylore as the season progressed.

I need Tortured Poets to be the longest studio album of her career :celestial5: 

I was about to say that it won't be longer than her longest album folklore, but I noticed that Red is even longer :suburban:
p.s.: WAIT SPEAK NOW IS LONGER????:biblio:

p.p.s: At this point I have no idea

I did not even count the deluxe editions :gaycat5: but yeah, considering Tortured Poets vinyls are 2LP and 17 tracks, it’s bound to be much longer than Midnights (at least the standard edition)
