Guardian debuts obssesion over Taylor and Swifties

Taylor Swift and Emily Dickinson are sixth cousins three times removed. Ancestry.com shared the blessed news – in no way, I am simply certain of it, prompted by team Swift as promo for her forthcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department. Call it the Tortured Promo Department

Quote

 But there are riskier ways that Swift plays fast and loose with inference, especially given the fact that she has previously said she’s “trained” fans to look for clues and connections in her work. What started as a cute treasure trail that revealed genuine information about the subjects of her songs and approaching release dates – what do the highlighted letters in these liner notes spell out? How many holes in this fence? – caught on like wildfire, turning her admirers into sleuths and Swift’s every knowingly constructed outfit, nail polish colour and Instagram caption into grist for their conspiracy mill.

what's insane is that the same author had a great interview with Taylor in 2019 and was a bit of a swiftie but became a hater as soon as she broke up with joe.

I remember reading these kinds of articles around Reputation era. A whole ass think-pieces about nothing whatsoever, just to give people something to whine about

We can all expect the hate train for her with TTPD, it will finish at 65-70 reviews top. The wheel always spin.

Ariana got good reviews despite her hate train. If the album is good, the critics won't slander the album too badly. But regardless critics are irrevelant.

Talk to me in 5 weeks. I’m sure of that but I’ll be glad to be wrong.

 

P.S

It’s her best album and it’s not even close, so it’s hard to ignore that.

Not agree. It’s not new hate as hers and also yes, hers is better (weird of me to say that) because it’s her best work so it was hard to ignore it even though…

Folklore, Evermore and Midnights got mostly good reviews. If critics would focus too much on her antics instead of music they would lose credibility

Of course they do! I’m talking about TTPD, after the tour and the breakup. (Also, really… folkmore is something else) and Midnights is great also.

She ALWAYS survives hate trains. It’s been proven again and again. The critics will be fine, trust me

I am confident that the album will be good so like Ariana's the critics won't slander it but most will avoid rave reviews.

 

But remember critics don't matter at all anymore. people listen with their own ears.

That journalist changed her mood about the Swifties after the Swifties called her payed by scooter Braun cause She called the karaoke version of 1989 a karaoke version.

 

So what the pankekkers Swifties deserve. Drag them Queen :clap3:

The :mrpeanut: hints are either because Fortnight is the lead single or because TTPD has a sister album that will drop soon afterwards.

I would love if its a double album like Shania Twain's Up! with a pop and country/rock version but its not realistic :gaycat6: 
I feel at best it will be another surprise 3am drop like Midnights with 5-6 additional tracks as a chaotic surprise :michael:

But its DEFINITELY not a surprise rep (TV) release like some delusional cupcake twitter/tiktok Swifties think :bibliahh: Every album from now on will have months of preorders

I’ve been a little suspicious of a sister album since realizing the Collector’s Deluxe CDs in her store say they come in a jewel case made for 2 discs. It could be a disc that holds a 3am-esque drop, but that fact paired with the random video TN posted of her telling Benji “you’re going to have two sisters” made me gather my clown makeup supplies

Wouldn’t it need 3LPs on vinyls though? I mean I guess it will depend on the length of the album, but 17 tracks are already too much for 2 LPs, no?

I would assume the vinyls simply wouldn’t get those songs if they exist, since the 3am songs were never on a vinyl release either.

 

the store also oddly never showed the back covers of the CDs, only the back cover of the vinyls.
