I wonder if this album will follow the same formula as the previous two—11 or 12 tracks with no features—or if it will be a slightly bigger album with a few features.

The whole internet is talking about this. Likes and views are sick. For example this post has 39 thousand likes. 51k: 30k:

Dua really has a great voice. And she's gorgeous. It's actually kind of funny seeing Shakira next to her; she looks like a child next to Dua, hahaha

I see people on Twitter saying—though I don't know how verified this is—that a stadium tour is being planned for next year. If she really does tour next year, I hope she starts with America. A summer tour after Coachella. I think one of the reasons the Academy ignored RO is that she didn't tour the US at all during the voting period. She doesn't have to play stadiums—she could stick to arenas (honestly, I don't think she's ready for US stadiums yet)—but she could play in a few more cities. During the RO tour, she performed in only nine cities (compared to 27 for FN). After that, she can play stadiums in Europe, Australia, Latin America, and Asia.

It was added to "Mood Booster." This is one of the biggest Spotify playlists (7,776,586 followers). It was added a week ago (I only just noticed).

She is on the cover of Billions Club playlist. I see it's a personalized list, but "Training Season" is at the top for me. I think she should do a Billions Club Live concert for the new album.

Which song is the next single? Has a music video been filmed?

What are your predictions for the first day on Spotify?

I know this is off-topic, but what kind of numbers do you think Debut TV would pull in on its first day?

Excellent numbers and stability, considering Taylor released four new songs.

The worst part about this fiasco is that she ruined her chances for an Oscar with this release, even though these are two separate projects.

I had a theory that she would show up at the VMAs and announce the TLOAS deluxe edition there. When she announced the new single yesterday, I was convinced that was the next project and that she would release just the single on Friday, followed by the deluxe edition later. However, now that I see everything is coming out this Friday—before the VMAs—I have a feeling she'll announce Debut TV at the ceremony. I believe she'll use the occasion to reflect on her 20-year career and mark the milestone by re-releasing her debut album. That makes sense to me, because this whole Showgirl EP project feels rushed. It's as if she wanted to wrap up that album and move on to a new project. I'm also convinced that Debut TV—being a country album—will be part of the campaign for the Toy Story song. I believe she's aiming for an Oscar for that track, and I think she wants to boost her chances by releasing a country album. I have a feeling that Debut will be part of an Oscar campaign, just as Evermore was part of the Grammy campaign for Folklore.

Knowing her, it wouldn't be surprising if she had prepared a "b-side" with 12 songs.
