ok everyone! good points! i'm not an OTH i'm a big swiftie, but i should know better than to criticize taylor on a taylor ATRL thread 💀

 

love you all

During 1989 era, when she simultaneously dating Calvin, Tom and Joe, be considered as an Republican and kept silent about that, suing one people each month you didn’t unstan her, but suddenly in 2023 when she has officially support gay right and woman’s right, just send a letter to warn a rich white male who owns his own jet plane stop exposing her current location which is extremely dangerous for people like her and you start to dislike her? :deadbanana4:

i love taylor's music and the way that she made eras a thing. been a fan for a long time and it's very fun

 

but lately, being a fan feels weird on a human level bc some of the things she's doing are despicable (like suing the college student, her crazy PR coverups, and her refusal to take any sort of political stance). i hate to say it but i'm starting to only like her music but not really like her. it's not a "she's overexposed" thing, it's a "she's a shady billionaire thing" i fear :/

100% on jack too. my dream would be an illuminati hotties-produced album (boygenius producer) but no chance

Not really the proper thread for it nn, but you spilled. She's honestly more of a brand rather than an artist to me nowadays. I'm mainly just enjoying the music at this point (which has been excellent so far, and fingers crossed this one is another mangum opus)

 

Spoiler

This tweet sent me :toofunny3:

I feel like the lead is coming this friday too. The 3 heart emojis means 3 so 3 days i guess. The world is ready for another Taylor banger i fear. She is going to break so many records with this album. 2+ million debut guaranteed. She has surpassed sinatra,wonder and her 2 billion tour validates her legend status at only 34. Wow just wow. Nobody is touching her for decades to come.

I hope it's coming this Friday too

ok everyone i'm sorry for "derailing"! my b

 

the reason i wanted to bring this up, in relation to the album, is because it's hard for me to get excited for this era on a personal (rather than music) level. but let's stop talking about it, we all have our own feelings of taylor as a person and i didn't mean to start ****

 

hugs and kisses to everyone

******* crying at "suing a college student". 3 of these 4 words are false and the other one is a linker.

if the rumour of reputation on 13th september is true yeah maybe the first single could come soon. A first single in late april would mean just one single from the album cause like no space between a possibile second single and rep first single. With a release now she could release a second summer single when the album comes.

You (not you personally, people) should be careful when talking about first week sales because, in Taylor's case, they don't depend on the hype or quality of the album, but on the amount of physical variants she puts on sale. If the album does insane numbers on streaming that means 400k sales and if it flops that means 200k sales, so not a big difference in the overall number when you are selling 1M pure copies. The exact same album, with the same hype and quality, could open with 800k or 1.7M depending on how far she wants to push the pure sales.

Not sure if I’m reading into this but she made a point of saying at the Grammys that she started this new album 2 years ago which means we might possibly be getting a second new album later on this year like folklore/evermore in 2020. There’s a large gap in touring during the VMA’s this year. 
 

Maybe the real heavy heartbreak stuff with tortured poets and then maybe a lighter poppier album now that she’s with Travis??

She's not gonna drop TS12 before releasing all TVs. The pattern is 2TVs - new album - 2 TVs - new album - 2 TVs - new album. But I'm not sure when exactly she will drop debut and rep. She might drop rep in september as was rumoured and then debut in december, If she wants to rush it before the end of the Eras. Or she might add new Eras dates in 2025 and release rep and debut then. 
I actually still think it would be better If she'd drop debut first and close the re-recordings era with reputation :alexz2:

She said at the Tokyo show earlier today that she started it right after submitting Midnights to her label. She also said that she kept working on it all through the US leg of the tour so it's fairly recently that the whole project was finalized. 

 

I wouldn't rule out a song or two about the Travis era, she was seen repeatedly at the studio after she started dating him and you know a girl can write a fully fledged song in 20 minutes :dies:

I just noticed on her store that the CD features a "collectible" and "unique" front and back cover... She's coming with more variants. I can feel it :gaylorcat2:

I wonder if some insiders have already listened to it.

I hope so. I don't care too much about first week sales this time (nothing to prove and not a big difference between 1.1M and 1.7M) but I still want to lock that +1M debut.

Where did the Rep TV 9/13 drop rumor come from? Anyone got the source?

a now-deleted tiktok account, which mirrored the account that leaked the TTPD tracklist. but nobody knows if this account was credible or not (i think not, though i think sep 13th is a good guess)

Those song titles are kinda giving self-parody :matty: this'll be interesting

To be fair on your first point, “Lover” Taylor wasn’t nearly as big as she is now. In fact, she was on a decline prior to Folklore. I think she had the luxury to speak on topics she wanted to speak on, but now, in the thick of The Eras Tour, being stalked incessantly and basically all the media talks about, I can see why she’s a bit more reserved.

The way people are unstanning her because they threatened by her for being a powerful business woman :biblio:

 

OT: i have a feeling the album might come out sooner because if the “ snippets “ keep happening, they’ll definitely release it sooner

but i am so excited i still can’t believe the’s releasing a new album :WAP:

Sept 13 and Dec 13 are good dates for the remaining TV.
