Taylor Swift - 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'

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.

Oh..... no :gaycat7:

 

OT: I'm excited to hear what Florida!!! is about. I am not excited to hear how little of the song Florence is singing over :gaycat4:

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

I wanna say it was to save face, but even if it was improv, for miss director to include it is still...

That whole scene made me support Jake

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:

 

there’s also no way she had a line as good as “you kept me like a secret but i kept you like an oath” and scrapped it :skull:

the day ME! dropped was so embarrassing because i had been posting the teasers on my stories that week and when the song finally dropped i didn’t even mention it on social media :dies:

I expect this album to be long and heavily focused on lyricism for obvious reasons. I doubt she would market a project using "From the Desk Of Taylor Swift" just to fill it songs with 2:30-2:50 minutes :gaycat6:

Yeah, I have a feeling the average will be comfortably over 4 minutes per song, with the longest (SLL, ICDIWABH, The Alchemy, and Clara Bow if my prayers are answered) all being well over 5 minutes, and the shortest still over 3 minutes :gaycat4:

 

Am I more interested in getting the length numbers than the producers? No, but it's closer than I'd like to admit :gaycat6:

I'm also really excited for TTPD because for whatever reason I have the strongest feeling that The Alchemy is going to be a Labyrinthine Hymnal :jonny5:

Spoiler

Anyway, can we talk about how Taylor has never made a bad song over 5 minutes?
 

Untouchable

 

Dear John

Enchanted

Innocent

Last Kiss

Long Live

Castles Crumbling

Foolish One

Timeless


All Too Well

 

happiness

evermore

 

Spoiler

So Long, London

I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

The Alchemy

Clara Bow

 

I'm feeling like one of the deluxe tracks will be over 5 minutes too, hopefully The Albatross

 

:ryan3:

Anyway, if the lengths for TTPD come and none are over 5 minutes you will never hear from me again :deadbanana4:

 

:ryan3:

 

Spoiler

also @Klein yes this is a personal attack because I will never let up until you repent and see the light of Untouchable and Innocent :gaycat4:

Me when the Lana feature was announced: "of course Lana is going to have a big part in her song, she's not going to ask for a Lana feature aka her idol and make her the next Colbie Caillat/Dixie Chicks"

I desperately need Florida!!! to sound so haunting, somehow similar to my tears ricochet but more Florenced with rock elements scattered throughout the entire song :jonny5:

The time between Lover and Reputation was the time when I finally embraced Taylor. I was so looking forward to the lead when it was announced. So I listened to it once, then a few more times trying to convince myself that it probably hasn't clicked with me yet and that there's probably some hidden genius that I am yet to discover.....

loml will be the shortest song on the album. 2:32 no bridge

I emptied our drawers, ???? the pretty cutlery

??? wearing the dress you gifted me, and your favorite lipstick shade

(the words will, executor and jewels and wake are mentioned in the following lines and I couldn't make sense of what she said)

 

you say "go ahead, i'll go right after"

i'd rather have the cold shoulder than turning my back on you now

Oh snap

Well, are you not entertained? When the album is released and some time has passed y’all can rename the thread the Teneo base or something as I’m living rent free in some of y’all’s minds judging by the last pages

I do have to say, you folks are funny whenever you say call track 2 “Baboon” and that post that dragged her acting capabilities and said something like “she would have signed for Madame Webb had she gotten the script”

Wait, rankings are banned now? So, what now?

Yeah we got some reports for doing too much rankings :gaycat6: This thread is in shambles and we got not info on the album whatsoever. So no surprise your fake tea is the only thing we can discuss here

Yeah mods are now handing out warnings for off topic posts like random discography rankings. I bet if we ask nicely they'll also apply that rule to fake lyrics from a fake insider performing a piss-poor trolling attempt:gaycat4:

 

OT: the one song I'm dreading listening to the most is The Black Dog, because I know it's going to emotionally destroy me and I fear I won't recover. 

 

EDIT actually I changed my mind, I think the track that I'm dreading the most for emotional reasons is Tonight We Cross KKK :ryan3:

I guess he's worried about the UMG police coming after him for posting TWCK lyrics hoping for some /KK lyrics soon too :ryan3:

 

I have a feeling TSMWEL is going to be the forever under-rated track on TTPD, I just know the fans are going to pay it dust and the locals won't make it that far in the tracklist :gaycat6:
