Codename for the variants on Target. They didn't want the info of their availability there to leak.

Jack is 50% responsible for how Midnights sounded but let's not forget that that was still Taylor's album and vision 💀 he was literally working on an album like DYYKTATUOB with Lana at the same time so he's capable of different stuff. 
 

Taylor just wanted to cash in on the post folklore hype and get out a cute pop album as a return to form and for touring purposes. There's literally an interview with Lorde where she said that Taylor told her that sometimes you need a "bridge/transition album" just to cleanse your palette. Midnights was her palette cleanser. 
 

Let's calm down and hear TTPD first before engaging in the Jack lashings.

New Aaron-produced track 5 is all I needed. SO perched. :WAP:

In the end, the sound will be whatever Taylor wants to, regardless of who is her co-writer/producer (not saying the co-writers/producers don't have any input, but she's the one that sets the overall tone of the whole thing).

Songs sorted by length & producer. Green is unknown, but i think it's pretty obvious Hack is getting Toys & Florida at the very least. I don't think Aaron has ever produced without writing for her so Afraid will probably be Hack's too

 

I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) 2:36

The Alchemy 3:16 

My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys 3:23

Fresh Out the Slammer 3:30

"Florida!!! 3:35

Clara Bow 3:36 

I Can Do It with a Broken Heart 3:38 

Fortnight 3:48 

The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived 4:05 

"Guilty as Sin?" 4:14 

Down Bad 4:21 

So Long, London 4:22 

Loml 4:37

The Tortured Poets Department 4:53

Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? 5:34 

But Daddy I Love Him 5:40

LOML was already exciting because of the acronym and length, an Aaron credit has me super intrigued! And I'm still not over him getting track 5, BDILH one of her longest songs ever, and the closer. Instant discography highlights :jonnycat:

Oh Jack

Jack Antonoff might be coming for 4-peat POTY as well as 4th AOTY as a songwriter, producer, and engineer of TTPD album in next year's Grammys.

Wasn't the palette cleanser interview her way of making an excuse for the ME! backlash?

As for Jack, I expect more My Grammys Ricochets and Augusts with a couple of classic Bleachers-esque bops like Shadow and I Wanna Get Better based on the vibe of this album (especially if it's a hybrid like Red), which sounds very promising to me. :WAP:

Are we sure she wasn't leaving an Easter egg for the palette cleanser being released in her upcoming beauty brand?? :bird:

I mean you can have more than one transition album. Which I don't think that's what mids is, it was just an album to get back on the road with, TTPD seems like the album she was hoping to get her 4th AOTY with

this could be Taylor's 2nd attempt to win AOTY back-to-back at the Grammys next year.

Tbh I'm really curious what this pop up library is meant to convey with us. I imagine there will be a lot of info spread of it on twitter for the larger fan base to engage with. I'm guessing it'll be very Easter eggy

Taylor could achieve something at next year's Grammys:

third person to win AOTY in 2 consecutive years as a main artist (Frank Sinatra and Stevie Wonder)

third person to win AOTY with two consecutive studio albums (Stevie Wonder and Adele)

Happy folklore day!

I simply do not know a better album.

Spoiler

I know one that's equally good, though. But that's getting ahead of myself.
