Anyway can I just say that I had a fun break representing the Swiffers in the SYG revival (I really am quite sorry miss @stupidjock I was a bit drunk and said things that were unfair to you, I hope you can forgive me ), but it's nice to be back in here spamming absolute nonsense

 

 

Track 10 rankings may be coming soon, depends on how I feel since my track 9 ranking flopped

 

It's ok! It made me lowkey spiral to imagine people from this thread writing fake PMs about me and treating me like @Reveuse but I'm used to people pretending to like me!

When it gets a 6.0 from Pitchfork

You did the track rankings? I thought those were stopped

Some people attended the Born Brave Bus and are still doing it, I quit doing it cause I don't want to risk getting banned just before TTPD release

I don't think anybody would ever compare you to that user...

Not me missing the bus and losing a chance to drag Garbaj for the track 8s

'cause for you, I'm DOWN BAD

and for you, I'd be DOWN MAD

 

You're giving her too much credit, watch her pull a Gorgeous, & rhyme Down Bad with Down Bad

 

[Dear Reader]

Will we ever be able to surpass the iconic Midnights thread?

Also, not miss @Almodusa snatching both threads, one day I'll be that lucky

Don't forget she's a mad woman

 

 

As long as she doesn't pull a "Bar" "Car" situation again, we'll be good

 

Spoiler

even though I think she will cause Getaway Car is about Toe and they met a Dive Bar

Oh babe I'm so sorry, I wanna give you a hug 

 

Every new Swiftie should be celebrated and loved, it's not fair to let R-*gunshot* and her sticky legacy tarnish the reputation.mp3 of innocent users

Oh see I have a feeling that the derangement in this thread is just lurking right under the surface and in the next week or two people are going to go feral. I think we might actually clear 1000 pages before album release after the leak, of course, let alone through the charts meltdowns

You're probably the only one

 

 

And to think that I had significantly better things to do with my time that day, and I chose to do that instead

The thing that's mostly giving me some hope for this album is that she began making it after seeing how well RED TV and All Too Well 10MV did. I genuinely think her and her team were surprised by the success it saw during RED TV week. When you look back over the past 5 years of Taylor Swift, everything from Lover -> Fearless TV was hugely successful by any standards but she still felt like a mostly fanbase-driven artist during that time. Even with the folklore repeak, unless you were tuned into the world of Taylor Swift, it would have passed you by (to this day people are still discovering cardigan on TikTok).

 

Then suddenly the TikTok hype for RED TV and ATW10 and the unforeseen success of the song and its video put Taylor Swift back on the front page of the internet for everyone. The controversy around Jake Gyllenhaal and the short film kind of spurred the success of the song. My theory is that she got a glimpse of what it felt like to be back on top of the world for a week and that is what fuelled her on to produce another album (TTPD) right after finishing Midnights (which was completed and turned in to the label in December 2021. With ATW, I think she realised that what the world reallu wanted from her was what put her on the map in the first place: heartfelt ballads about love and loss, with sprinklings of celebrity scandal and gossip thrown in. TTPD is the first project she began working on in a post ATW10 world. 

 

When Taylor accepted the award for NSAI Songwriter of the Decade in autumn 2022, just before the release of Midnights, she performed ATW10 acoustic and I thought it was very interesting how she dedicated time in her speech to talking about how she mentally categorises her music into the 3 glitterpen/gel pen/quill categories. To me, it almost felt like she was reminding the world that she could still write catchy pop songs after her last two non-rerecording albums were very much gel pen/quill driven. It also served as a bit of a warning (I think) to fans that the glitter pen would be very much present on the upcoming Midnights album. 

 

My worst case scenario is that TTPD is in any way similar to Midnights. I'm thinking/hoping/praying that Midnights was the result of Taylor flexing her pop music muscles again after spending lockdown rebuilding her songwriting status and legacy with the more serious folklore/evermore projects. Midnights was also the pop record which would justify the existence of the massive pop spectacle The Eras Tour (which likely was in the works long before Midnights itself). 

 

I'm hoping that The Tortured Poets Department is an answer to the world's hunger for more All Too Well type songs from her with echoes of folklore and evermore in there too, and that she got all the glitter pen ink out of her system with Midnights. I'm hoping for an album that is sonically a lot more exciting and interesting than Midnights too, which sounded  boring and at least 3-years-out-of-date on the day it was released.

THIS!!! I feel it. Midnights was for pop, for attention, for the Tour. TTPD will be for MUSIC, for ART and for HEARTBREAK. When you think "what is the ultimate Taylor album", the most common answer is Red, because it has bops, ballads and just classic songs and also the album's narrative is being free, confused and lonely at the same time, finding peace within yourself and dealing with a heartbreak. I really don't think that TTPD will be very simmilar to Red, I think it's perspective on a heartbreak and other feelings will be very different and even sonically it will be different. But I do think that TTPD will become her new Classic Ultimate Album.
 

Spoiler

and btw I think that we need some glitter gel pen songs, just because it's the part of her personality and we need to collect all stones of infinity on ttpd. Just throw in like 2 funny songs, that's okay

I feel like Only If For A Night would be the obvious Ceremonials-esque track we'd love to hear on TTPD, but tbh I'd love something like Seven Devils or even Remain Nameless. 

Seven Devils is the dark waters Taylor will probably never step in, but I would be very happy if she does one day

I mean.. she can make a crazy thing, but then she will probably never perform that song live

Reminder that this fine man has listened to TTPD as we discuss Teneo & such for another couple of  weeks!

Florida!!! is the most confusing title on the album and it will probably be mid
