I will say this is a bit of a laugh when contrasted to how uniquely hard it's getting shoved off pop radio right now :deadbanana4:

 

IION was the right choice as the single, has done very well for a vault track, and will hold up well on streaming into the future, but it's literally losing like 500 spins every single day and has all week, which is as abnormal as its spike up to #1 was :gaycat7:

Preparing for Fortnight obviously

Me! is actually a great video, you just have to watch it on mute. :skull: Like, she looked beautiful and some of the scenes are actually gorgeous. 
 

Lover is not a bad video, either. 
 

No excuse for YNTCD and The Man, though. :suburban:

Maybe Taylor was RIGHT when she wanted to make Slvt! the single… 

Slay Don't Go obviously should've been pushed...

I read somewhere that their fight in the kitchen was improvised. Not sure if true, but it would make more sense

why do some of yall think she's not releasing music videos for this album??? like obviously videos don't hold the same value they used to hold back in the day anymore and ofc neither IION nor cruel summer got a music video treatment but they were a 2019 song and an album reject respectively, and she was working on TTPD so obviously she had other priorities. The fact that she said in her grammy speech that shotlisting music videos makes her so happy confirms that there's gonna be at least 3 videos. Also doesn't her website has a panel for her directed projects??? kinda makes me feel like there's going to be a new short film.

The reason 1989 tv didn’t get videos is obviously bc she was working on the TTPD videos

tbh i really don't care about her videos anymore, we haven't gotten a good video since ATW10 and all the lover era videos were...

ME!’s release is such a funny memory to me. I remember being away for a regional competition, and the MV premiered right as I woke up to get ready for the exam.


I watched it, expressionless, then closed YouTube and went on with my day. A trauma response, I think. :suburban:

Girl, Karma video is brilliant. It just got so overlooked cause the flop remix.

The video is perfect.

To be fair, The Man was always going to flop due to timing. Good video or not, it was never going to survive the COVID shut down. Only the songs that were already big (Blinding Lights, Say So, Don’t Start Now, etc) were going to survive, as radio didn’t want to let go of anything at that time.

Prediction: will non-bonus track TTPD be over or under an hour

I remember sitting in a hallway (and skipping class) at my uni spamming it over and over and over and over because we had the VEVO record to break:suburban:

 

I could still tell you exactly where the 30 second mark is in the video :deadvision:

Over, for sure. 16 tracks at 60 minutes would have an average of a 3:45 runtime, and I'm praying for at least a few 5:00+ behemoths. I'd die if we end up with a song longer than Dear John, as Taylor's longest song with a runtime that wasn't inflated to meet a talk show talking point from 2012 :suburban:

i disagree w most of the floptologist's takes, but one I can agree with him on is that the 10 minute version never existed :giraffe:

she wasn't writing **** the patriarchy in 2012 :rip:

See, that's a line that I actually believe did exist, or is at least plausible. Etsy-core "**** the patriarchy" keychains were a thing back then, and it wouldn't surprise me if Jake had one. 

 

Now I have significant doubts as to the origins of "never-needy, ever-lovely jewel" and really that entire fourth verse, because while it was possibly some idea she had floating around, it was phrased in a way that 2011 Taylor never would have.

Yeah this was one of the talking points she was trying to drum up as a part of her campaign for the Oscar

OT: Wow, Guilty As Sin is such an interesting track name!

The original ATW10 was just improv. That’s basic knowledge. It was never a recorded demo like the rest.

is it true that audios from the eras will be available on audiostreaming platforms tonight?

Nnnn not this one :skull:

 

Idk I like the opening scene (not the acting—god no :skull:—but when the song starts and she’s walking) and the closing scene, aesthetically speaking. I hate that it was wasted on…that. :gaycat6:

Swiftologist hates High Infidelity, therefore you can’t take anything he says seriously :coffee2:

Story time.

 

My best friend since 2011 was always just a casual Taylor fan. He enjoyed some Taylor songs here and there but mostly kept up with her -through me.- 

 

Fast forward to 2017/2018, he literally becomes a stan overnight thanks to reputation. He is so hyped for her next release and for the first time ever, we are on the same level of engagement with her music & career. So you can imagine our anticipation when she announced the start of a new era, accompanied by a lead single & music video.

 

My best friend asks if I’d want to watch the video premiere together, I agree, not knowing what was in store. We literally drive into the city, buy snacks, park the car, and open up YouTube to the countdown. The timer is ticking down and our anticipation is sky high.

 

3. 2. 1.

 

We watch the ME! video. 
 

The video ends.
 

We both sit in silence.

 

After years of hyping Taylor to him and him finally deciding to give her a chance on the level of a stan, she releases a crock pot of horse sh*t. Needless to say he has downgraded back into a regular fan of -some- of her output but not all. :dies: 

 

I was so humiliated, it’s like telling someone your dog can do a really cool trick and then the dog just stares blankly at you when you try to make them do it in front of your friend.
