I'm manifesting a lead single announcement tomorrow during The Eras  :giraffe:

 

I don't think we're having another Messynights era. Lavender Haze was obviously a lead single as the MV hints at a lot of song titles. Something happened back then.

That photoshoot just said confessional night album. The reality is everyone just see what they want to see.

I don't think we'll get a lead single ever again tbh

 

I think she's seen the success the anticipation/not-knowing factor helps with her release week - not that she needs it, but she's definitely aware after folklore, evermore, the taylor's versions, and midnights.

no, but generally speaking, especially with taylor's albums, she tries to make sure there's a sort of alignment between music and visuals. midnights shoot was probs her most mismatched/non-aligned since maybe speak now? the tone/emotions of the shoot fit the lyrics imo, but the retro styling, ESPECIALLY after her last few original projects were indie-pop, justifiably made ppl expect smth less synthetic and modern than what we got imo :toofunny3:

 

Spoiler

red photoshoot - cooler color grading, shots were generally much less whimsical than fearless/SN visuals. styling was more modern, but not yet cosmopolitan nyc girlie like 1989. fits this being a more mature, less happy/idealistic album, but also her maybe experimenting with newer pop sounds

 

1989 photoshoot - nyc, polaroids, cosmopolitan, this was probably her trying her absolute hardest to get a message and theme across

 

reputation photoshoot - black and white, plain studio bgs, darker fashion, fewer smiles. people absolutely got her trying to play the bad grrl character + that the music would be more muted and aggressive

lover photoshoot - bright, pastel colors, hazy vibes, playful shots. if you didn't get it from ME!th, you should've known the album was gonna be a lighter, dream-poppier listen

 

folkmore - both having woodsy, cottagecore, isolated shoots portray the folklorian woods. the fashion of each also fits the summer/winter tone taylor was going for with each

I also love the Mid photoshoot and think it represents the album perfectly

Not sure if this has been discussed already, but was this album actually written before Midnights? Not sure why she said she kept this secret for two years...

I’ve honestly been on a break from Taylor for the past 7-8months and I decided to give 1989 and folklore/evermore a spin after the AOTY win and they truly are the best albums of the 2000s and she’s the goat.
I’m ready for TTPD.

I think the secret was she’s been working on this for 2 years

The leaked tracklist also included "The Bolter" as the 17th track...but we all know the 17th bonus track that was revealed is "The Manuscript"...

What if each variant has a different bonus track? 

On her store, this variant is specifically titled "+ Bonus Track "The Manuscript". The folklore ones didn't mention "the lakes bonus track" in the title so it makes me think that the upcoming different variants will have different bonus tracks.

She's been working on it for the past 2 years, not that it was done 2 years ago.

I mean, true. Vintage synths all over the songs. Subdued production as a reference to the quietness of the night time. The album is overall pretty reflective and I don’t see how photoshoot doesn’t connect. :cool:

Writing dissertations for each of the songs’ names. Make it short novels actually. 
Instead of having fortnight time to finish it, make it four days just in time for album’s release. :foxaylove2:

I personally think the leaks sound good considering they are basically voice memos/early demos.

I think more variants and bonus tracks are coming.

Pretty sure she just wanted distinct/iconic visuals for the album/era without too much thought about its correlation to the sound

I was also confused by this branding because every variation seemed to have the bonus track. I haven't seen a standard physical without it. Does it actually exist? And if that track appears on every version then is it really a bonus track? So maybe you're onto something here

I think we might have a lead single this friday

Midnights photoshoot matched the concept and the lyrics perfectly, also the making of it. It's 13 sleepless nights about moments that haunted her during her career or kept her awake, how else was she supposed to look in the pics other than distressed? :rip:

the OTH on twitter fuming over the fact she has tortured in the album title  :rip:

 

“billionaires can’t be tortured artists!”

”how can she claim to be tortured when she refuses to speak on palestine!! they’re being tortured”

 

 

:deadbanana2: hating her must be such a miserable existence because the amount of **** you have to make up and reach for in order to hold onto your hatred for her is crazy :deadbanana:
