Glamthony Posted March 16 Posted March 16 i hope the jazz/r&b rumors are false, and the folkmore part. 2 is real
Nein Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Can someone make the TTPD border gif of Tophiachu in this pose? Taylor definitely took inspiration from her the more I look at it.

You’re in for a huge shock if you think people won’t eat this up even more than Midnights if it’s not quite as ‘pop’. If anything, it having more real instruments and being alt-inspired would make it smash harder. 4 1
State of Grace. Posted March 16 Posted March 16 This is the most anticipated album of her entire career. Literally all eyes will be on her. Everyone and their mothers will be perched to stan or with their pitchforks. Hardcore swifties, haters, Joe Alwyn widows, Gaylors, Tayvis stans, you name it. This is NOT doing less than Midnights unless its truuuuly terrible. Yall need to bffr. 7

Would it be a Taylor release without some underestimating... like not setting her up is one thing, but being delusional enough and say that this won't surpass Mid, when her power has multiplied since then and she even stomped that with a rerecording of a decade old album... 3
Feanor Posted March 16 Posted March 16 I don't see as much hype for this as there was for 'Midnights' and social media engagement on her variants reveals have also been noticeably worse than for '1989 (TV)', so methinks this won't make it to 1.6M
Post Malone Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Yeah the couple months of silence before Midnights felt much more tense with anticipation than this time around. But I trust in mother to have some tricks up her sleeve to start building up hype towards the release soon

TaylenaStan Posted March 16 Posted March 16 (edited) This will do more than Mid and 19Katy9 (TV) obviously, anything below 1.5M is a BOMB and everything above 2.2M would be absolutely insane. Since 19Katy9 did around 1.65M, i'd say 1.8-2.0M is the expected debut range for TTPD (this might actually be her peak but tbh you should never question Taylord.. inb4 TS13 in a couple years is another repeak ) But yeah hopefully she switches things up for the next rollout because this formula is so boring and shes done this for 5 projects in a row now I guess its understandable that she doesnt want to move since shes been on tour and needs to rest now but obviously its not like releasing a single or an album trailer/whaever would require much effort Edited March 16 by TaylenaStan 1

But I trust in mother to have some tricks up her sleeve to start building up hype towards the release soon we had 1989 threads about ariana new album "not having hype" and one week before, not still 6 weeks before You should understand what Taylor already understood: in the era of streaming you release, if something makes people talk about it it smashes, doesn't need promotion in the right moment, just think 2 months before. Who saw Kanye and Beyoncè to have 2 big hits like that the day before the release? Well actually they both were infact surprise releases. Edited March 16 by vale9001 1
Kern Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Why are you always so pressed? Just calm down. anyway, I usually don’t listen to albums in full from start to finish but spread it across few days to let different songs grow on me etc. But with this one I think I will go song by song

I think he still hasn’t heard the entirety of evermore and Red TV 2

This album has far more hype and will sell more too. Maybe one day y’all will learn to stop underestimating her, I thought a re-recording outdoing Midnights would’ve stopped that with TS11, but here we are yet again… same cycle every time Edited March 16 by Holiest Dreams 1
Holiest Dreams Posted March 16 Posted March 16 (edited) Just the notion that her first brand new studio album release in the Swiftmania era, also her first breakup album in 12 years, has less hype than Midnights (which was released in 2022 when her already-huge popularity was a fraction of what it is now, don’t forget it’s not just the Eras Tour but Midnights which skyrocketed it to these levels) is SENDING me Edited March 16 by Holiest Dreams 2

Considering the monumental amount of discourse Taylor has attracted in the past 2 months (even if it's not all explicitly about this album) it's a tad naive to not assume that everyone will be tuning in. 1

Popboi. Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Not being as commercial as Midnights wouldn't be an issue, especially for first week, let's remember THE album that started her streaming success and all Swiftmania 1

In my head it seems like they're somewhere in the 150-200k range each, but I'd love to hear y'all's thoughts. Edited March 16 by wastedpotential 1
