Still up 22% vs last saturday and the level is so much higher than any Taylor album has ever been after 5 months. But yeah seems like Lover is the big winner.

Opening spot > closing spot I guess

I think it could also be due to the people listening to playlists of the setlist. The Lover songs are at the beginning but the Midnights' ones at the end. I don't know if it's significant or not but could be one of the reason. 

of course people are going to discover more theolder albums than midnights they listened until 2 months ago.

 

For loser clearly is not only tour boost but a new song linked to the album with 10M streams in 2 days is bringing people into the album probably more than tour itself.

 

This is explain why the man get back on US charts.

Of course everyone skips the nightmare i forgot you existed is so they stream cruel summer, lover and then the man comes so it get gains for that reason .

It’s a blessing we were spared of IFTYE, London Boy, and ME! performances.

 

She didn’t have to torture us with Miss Victim and the Hollywood Failure, The Panned and You Need to Touch Grass.

I don't think it's bad at all, still 3M despite it just being a random release + the messy exposure, sounds good to me

Yeah. Not bad considering the lack of visibility and brand new song factor is hurting it.

i mean loser already did 5.7M on friday so it's also the impact of the "new song" from the album, not only tour boost.

i read this the dam season made like a 150%+ too. Of course every performed song is growing up from every album

 

But the reason is making 7M and it's growing up that much also on itunes for me is also because of the new song there is doing really really good. Not only because of the tour.

The day before was at 5.7M already

We need an official publication ranking the sets.

 

We get it, the reputation Stadium Tour headliner is ACCLAIMED once again.

 

But which album stole the show?

i have listened to an audio of the full concert... of course telling how a concert is only from audio is almost like telling how a movie is only from the audio...still i can say

 

- the lover set is a 7/10...first 3 songs are boring, then lover is good and the archer has an incredibile rock final part used as transition

 

- fearless set is 7.5/10... she played the song as they are but they are always good and great for concerts.

 

- evermore set is 8/10. Marjorie sounds a little bit too much in set list.

 

- reputation is an 8/10. It gives energy. Delicate is a little bit to much and kills the vibe, don't blame was enough as "semi ballad" moment in the act. I have to admit ready for it and LWYMMD have still big live energy.

But here again every song is liteally a copy carbon of the live version on the rep tour-

 

- speak now well is n/c. The orchestration of Enchanted is rich btw.

 

 

- red is 7/10. The three pop songs are doing their jobs but  they are giving "a performance at the i heartradio concerts series", not more than 6/10. ATW is an 8 good. So the average 7/10

 

 

- Folklore is a 7.5/10. Sadly after evermore already it seems too long. The last great american dynasty and invisible string were okay as surprise song (sorry).

 

- 1989 is an 8/10. It's fast and full of energy. Nothing special but you got some of the biggest pop hits of the decade in 20 minutes. Still a strong act.

 

- Debut n/c.

 

- midnights is a 7/10. The closing with mastermind and karma feels boring. Should have been karma + bejeweled + Anti -hero. 

 

Songs from lover, folklore, evermore are reimagined from the records.

all the pop songs/acts are the same as in an i heart radio concert performance (red, 1989 and midnights) while fearless and rep are not exactly like the records but they have the same arrangement from the rep tour. 

 

Of course this is just listening to the music, not watching the show. My opinion can change.

evermore, Rep and Midnights are clearly the best sections. I could see a good argument made for each one being the best. 

 

My personal favorite is evermore. I mean how could you not LIVE for these songs. Especially willow is a moment.

Lover is a solid 5. Props can only do so much, the music speak for itself.

 

Fearless - 10/10. Everlasting classics and crowd singalong favorites.

 

evermore - 8/10 and is not a bore unlike folklore

 

reputation - 10/10 Crowd went wild with RFI. Fan engagement at the highest with Delicate’s 123, DBM the tour’s vocal moment. LWYMMD the theatric peak of the tour.

 

Speak Now -

 

folklore - boring 7/10

 

Red - 7/10 Predictable, stale, dated

 

1989 - 9/10 something’s missing here I just don’t know what.

 

Taylor Swift -

 

Midnights - 8/10 we were robbed of a tour.

The enduring power of Lover is still the greatest mystery I have encountered in life.

Yeah. For how much this has been labeled as a flop, lover is actually a huge smash 

Another LOSE for Lover haters as the title track re-enters the top 200 of AM US at #184. 

AM US

 

#20. AOTG (+2) 

#38. Anti-Hero (+5) 

#119. Lavender Haze (+14) 

#184. Lover (RE)

Lover is actually pretty good if you make it a 11 track album. 

Cruel Summer

Lover

The Archer

I Think He Knows 

Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince

All of the Girls You Loved Before 

Paper Rings

Cornelia Street 

Death by a Thousand Cuts

False God

Daylight 

It would've been her best pop album. Of course with a less terrible aesthetic as well. 

Lover is hated from a lot of fans cause for the first time she didn't present a strong concept (what should be? Being in love? Ok. Rep already got that too, and of course every album before) and everything in terms of sound was already so done, nothing new.

You can hate puta but of course It sounds as something unique in her discography, lover really seems the album of her "i don't know what to do now" phase.

 

In some form it was the same for Red but then of course her writing was still growing up and something new come out plus  She played well the pop card for the first time.

 

At the same way the two albums paved her next move. After Red she went full pop (She was clearly tired of the songwriting style of speak now and Red) and lover (Song)and its acclaim in my opinion paved the way to try the folkmore type of music.

 

My problem with both rep and especially lover Is lyrically side. She seems too much desperate to have this kind of colloquial  and chatty and easy mood to talk that rappers have. She tried to be this pop female Drake but doesn't work that much.

With midnights she found the right way to make confidential talking pop but with things deepest and less superficial.

If y’all are going to talk again about The Seventh Album and try to trim the tracklist then I’m excused to ask you again to rank her discography
