Her most streamed album ever, also known as 'Godver'?

Lover owes it's success to folklore

folklore is the hard working and classy mother of the Swift children, Lover is the spoiled little girl, and that's okay!

It’s been a tough couple of posts to read through now

Apparently some fans met Scott and they asked him about the album :ducky:

lol imagine playing Fortnight for the first time and you hear ‘never made it clear, never made it right…’

Fortnight is going to be trap/synth pop/alt rock right?

Well of course, with evermore I fear you'd get stuck on Gold Rush, TTDS, or Tolerate It and get stuck forever, since they're all literally impossible to get sick of

It’s going to be postapocalyptic cinematic grungecore chamber folk pop rock infused with psychedelic country-funk.

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

For the first, it’s due to no midnights madness due the damn leaker. Once we get closer to release week, her team can pick up the promo again to rebuild hype. Right now nothing is going on so of course there is little hype. 

 

For the second, I think black and white covers are less appealing aesthetically to swifties. I think only the Black Dog variant was successful in that regard.

I heard it was going to be Icelandic death metal with several of the songs featuring verses actually sung in Icelandic by Taylor (who is now nearly fluent)

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

Like are we just going to ignore the fact that Folklore does almost as many daily streams now as Midnights

I remember being one of like two people on here 100% sure Midnights was breezing past 1M from the first day it was announced, and I unfortunately didn’t bump any posts. This time around, though… can’t wait to come back to some posts about it having “less hype” on TTPD release week

There is literally one (1) non-Taylor female catalogue album that out streams folklore on a daily basis, and it's 2 and a half years newer and had multiple smash hits. Genre isn't going to be a problem for TTPD's success in the slightest

I don't really believe the idea that people (I mean the GP, not fans) are perched and counting down the days for albums weeks ahead of their release. That doesn't happen, even for Taylor. People will be checking it out when it comes out and they will be talking about it.

 

It only appears that Midnights maybe had more "hype" and people talking on socials because she was doing MMWM and constantly posting stuff. This time it's literally crickets outside of the variants announcements. Wait until we get to mid-April.

The album being more in line with folklore but more upbeat/a bit more alt-rock leaning than folk would ensure a megasmash. It’ll dominate even if it’s synthpop again, but the GP would definitely welcome somewhat of a change. Also looking at the music landscape and songs that are smashing (My Love Mine All Mine, Lose Control, End of Beginning, Beautiful Things, even Texas Hold ‘Em)…

 

But Swifties aren’t capable of thinking rationally and have to fear monger ahead of every release, so

I remember how here everyone says that midnights hype was gone and the mayhem completely ruined it. Always the same history

I agree with no hype comments.

 

Yeah hype is less this time and also engagement is down by a lot. 

But anyways numbers are secondary. If album is good , I am happy with Evermore numbers.

For me it's the DREAM. I'm sure it will be less good.

Now sis… :deadbanana4: I would hope the real song has at least less generic production

I'm sorry I'm in love with this, maybe too much time getting that on TT but I won't be mad if that is (and it isn't) the real song.

The album is a month+ out yall need to relax... She found out she doesn't need to do much to move huge figures so obviously there's no engagement this far out. I'm sure they're sitting on huge pre order numbers
