Solaria Posted September 1 Posted September 1 I'm talking blockbuster pop album. Lengthy and intense promotional campaign from start to finish. Brand deals. Lots of paparazzi pictures. Lots of interviews. Performances at every award show imaginable. I think she could do it if she wants to but I don't think she has any desire to which is quite sad. 1
Solaria Posted September 1 Author Posted September 1 2 minutes ago, CherryBay said: You just answered yourself But I wonder why she has no desire to. I mean I understand the 1989 era must have been exhausting for her but it's not like touring isn't more exhausting and she has been going on the most extensive tour of all time recently. She clearly still has the energy and stamina to pull off another album campaign like 1989. Plus this is truly no shade but Taylor's whole catalogue has been in the spotlight, which is great, no other artist has been able to achieve that. But she misses a recent blockbuster album. The 'Confessions' to her 'Like a Prayer' so to say. 1
JorgeM Posted September 1 Posted September 1 I think Taylor has made very clear she is going to continue doing what she loves, writing and recording songs and touring but she is not going to continue with the things that she dislikes like doing interviews, talk shows,magazine covers, award shows performances… she doesn't need it. And she is not going to release singles before the album maybe occasionally one
Rihinvention Posted September 1 Posted September 1 If she can swallow her pride and give Max Martin writing credits, absolutely. I know she shouldn't have to (and I agree with everyone who says she shouldn't have to) but also…that man is a musical genius. The music should always come first, and I feel like production is criminally underrated. When you're already a billionaire and end up co-writing with collaborators anyway, it's like…just bite the bullet and make the pop smashes that everyone wants. The two of them together again, with her current popularity, would probably create an era so successful that we can't even speculate what it would look like. 4 2

KatyPrismSpirit Posted September 1 Posted September 1 She did with Midnights and that was much better actually 2 6 4 3 1
Princess Aurora Posted September 1 Posted September 1 (edited) Yes. She already did it with 1989 TS Edited September 1 by Princess Aurora 1 1

She is having a massive pop album right now. Thank god Taylor is far from having to try to recreate past eras Let the good sis evolve!

Interviews and award show performances in this day and age are irrelevant sans like Hot Ones. The albums closest to 1989's blockbuster success this decade (SOUR and Short n Sweet) all smashed mainly due to online hype. What's stopping Taylor is not any lack of promo, but the music itself. If she wanted to she could obviously book Ian Kirkpatrick or whoever and make a dozen Espressos and Levitatings and Greedys, but she probably feels she's earned the right to make whatever music she wants and not chase traditional hits. And I mean she'll sell millions either way, so why should she care?

The 'Confessions' to her 'Like a Prayer' so to say. I think she I capable of doing it but she older now, her priorities have changed, she earns more money on variants, tours and merchandise plus none nowadays does this kind of promotion anymore… like mv, performances and tv appearance or interviews etc I think is at this in her life when she will be settling down soon so I would not be surprised if we get whatever TV she has to release and then marriage, child etc family life basically because her clock is ticking also she seems to have better deal with Jack Boreoff and also this type of pop music isn't popular at the moment Edited September 1 by CherryBay 1
burninredhot Posted September 1 Posted September 1 She might do this for TS13 to make it her most commercially and critically successful album tbh
Taylor fanboy Posted September 1 Posted September 1 She did with Lover but the music and image just didn't connect as hard as 1989. 1
Timeless Posted September 1 Posted September 1 If she stops working with Jack Antonoff and brings back Max Martin and other Swedish pop producers, then yes! and it would be even bigger than 1989! 1 1
Gagaast Posted September 1 Posted September 1 1 hour ago, burninredhot said: She might do this for TS13 to make it her most commercially and critically successful album tbh This. She will give every ounce of her blood for TS 13. This stage of her career is definitely a planned one with no interviews, low profile, same music genre and hardly any other promotions except tour and variants.
heckinglovato Posted September 1 Posted September 1 Why the **** would she? TTPD >>>>>>> 1989 Anyone who says otherwise just doesn't have the depth to understand anything beyond cute little catchy pop melodies 1
pavi Posted September 1 Posted September 1 (edited) I'd rather have her recreate the strong melodies and dynamic production of 1989 (and the power in her voice from Speak Now) than have her do an era full of promotion tbh Edited September 1 by pavi

There's value in being able to tell a story in a straightforward catchy pop song. TTPD is an overwrought, bloated word salad and isn't as complex and intelligent as some people keep trying to make it out to be. 1
Gladiator Posted September 1 Posted September 1 I think if she did another era like that, with the level of promo 1989 had, it would do more harm than good with the GP. Its very smart of her that she has handled Midnights and TTPD the way that she has, despite the drama that people in pop culture have over all the variants. The average person doesn't know about them, but she has still benefited from them tremendously in ways that have impact on the GP since they helped keep her album on top. On top of all the discourse that comes from her simply attending a football game, I fear if she launched a campaign like she had with 1989, it would truly grate on the GP and push overexposure and exhaustion.

Saint James Posted September 1 Posted September 1 it would be nice but i'll be okay as long as she keeps bagging quick #1s. also i think Rep TV will be bigger than people expect.
Klein Posted September 1 Posted September 1 (edited) It's because she doesn't like doing all the interviews and stuff. What she likes is making the music and after releasing it she's already onto the next thing. When she released 1989 she had something to prove. She had to show that she was to be taken seriously as a popstar. She is now, and she's reached such heights that she doesn't need to do what she doesn't like to do anymore. I could see her making another pop album like 1989, but she will never go on a two-year long promo campaign with interviews, performances, videos, etc... every other week. EDIT: the last time she went on a promo campaign was for Red TV, and she had once again something to prove with her re-recordings. So I guess that unless she has something to prove again, she won't be doing that. That said, I would really like to hear her talk more about her music. The folklore: long pond studio session was a fantastic way to talk about her music without having to do a promo cycle. I really hope she does more of that in the future. Edited September 1 by Klein 1
