Actually, I forgot to say that I do think the piano on the original was a cute touch that should’ve been kept. Besides that… let’s be serious

 

I just imagined 2012 Taylor trying to sing the bridge and outro of WCS and chuckled a bit

All that’s going to do is lead to a cease and desist 

i mean, can they find out who the leaker is? if not then what can a cease and desist do

The drums are absolutely awful on that demo… Nathan is notoriously terrible with drums actually. Just compare the drums on the original This Love vs the new version.

 

Honestly no words at some of these takes, I’ll never get it. Struggling to hit high notes on the TV? All the high notes on Forever Winter TV sound better, fuller, more supported, and she absolutely sounds more emotive/passionate too. It will always send me when Swifties confuse the sound of her lungs collapsing on awful old vocal takes for emotion… because that’s all I heard here. 
 

There are examples of her older vocals sounding better suited to the songs though. I prefer a lot of the originals on Red to the rerecordings and I’m not shy to admit it. Really don’t like her vocals on State of Grace TV or Better Man TV for example. Not to mention there were several songs where Chris Rowe mixed her vocals horribly. Kind of like we traded bad instrumental mixing with good vocal mixing (but weak vocal takes) for good instrumental mixing with bad vocal mixing (and good vocal takes). But don’t see how anyone could possibly think that is the case with Forever Winter. The original production is very boring and generic too. 

I still listen original red cause her voice on tv is… lifeless  I wish some of the Vault tracks were on original tho.

I've got 143/197 

 

I got 142/197, almost the same as you!! I did misclick like 4 or 5 times 

 

this is very hard 

What I like about the Forever Winter OG demo is the piano on the bridge and the male background vocals. She should have kept those two things for the TV imo. 

 

But overall, the TV is so so much better than the OG, the horns really add a LOT.

Agree with all that too.

Lavender Haze is doing well on radio. We should talk about that 

2012 version is so much better (vocals aside) 

Now why this didn't debut last week?

Probably just all shipped on the Friday that started the tracking week that just ended.

So probably 10 albums charting.

Speak Now wasnt super far from dropping out though and it did go down

3 after they died and The Beatles when they reissued their catalogue.

Randomly charting 10 albums is madness

She better do another 13 day countdown with facts about the tour... Having a few seconds long video of her each day before rep tour started was nice

 

 

Like I expected Speak Now barely holding on.

But slay 

Our best chance at ATG being released officialy is going viral on tiktok. She would have no choice, she's to business savvy to ignore it

I wonder where LH will peak on pop radio. I doubt it'll reach #1 but it should be a solid hit for her. We probably would have been happy with how it's doing if it wasn't for AH

 

when will this ***** release Hits Different on Spotify? 

 

So what ended up happening with that All of the Girls groupbuy? Ive been playing the 3 snippets I have saved on a loop all day

why are people still rooting for flops different? that abomination better stay locked up in a target cage
