I knew it. Also to OP's question: Yes. She saw Beyoncé breathed and just knew she had to do it too. So, after studying Beyoncé for some years, she also decided to be born and start breathing. It's all been copy paste since, we all know it. Beyoncé is a woman, Taylor is a woman. Beyoncé is a singer, Taylor is a singer. Beyoncé is American, Taylor is American. I rest my case, she's a carbon copy.

If this happens I'm digging up my receipts on predicting her having 5 #1's this year #IKnewIt,ICalledIt

Honestly, this is and always will be one of her most stunning set of looks for me. She's gorgeous in every frame in a way that's just a little different in style than her normal glam, and I feel robbed.

I'm not sure I'm understanding what everyone is getting excited about, isn't Karma a song with ice spice on Midnights? So that MV is known. It seems like the videos are largely in order, but there's a couple of omissions which makes me think it's not really a clue.

How is any of this related to Taylor Swift? Like go make a thread for this spreadsheet you got, it's impressive, I love Bey, she's a formational force for a generation, I just don't need to read 30 essays about her in a Taylor Swift rumor thread. I want to know what the fk "Saccharides. Aries. From the vineyard. North or South." means.

The "it's so damn funny" line? Or the "you look at me" instead of "Drew looks at me"?

Both are doing better than me, so there's that. Also y'all are really smoking something whack, because last time I checked, these are two of the more ethically acceptable billionaire examples you could pick from the pool of billionaires. Neither one is known to abuse their workers, both create art and to my knowledge are not actively extorting anyone for basic privileges.

Something about the vocals at the start of the chorus seems familiar — the "here I aaaaammm". I'm inclined to think it's AI that's tracking to her demo, but using a Suno style mimicry of her recent vocal tone. There's something just slightly wrong with how she's pronouncing some of the words for me.

Lover is looking a little lonely…

Kenny Chesney à la Whiskey Lullaby?

But it could have been fun, if you could've been the one (who could see it all)

What lines up more with the Target TS20 page and how she's been acting lately with respect to songwriting and country music and "her roots"? I don't have the answer, just trying to frame it in case there's more I'm not thinking of. I guess she could save debut for its 25th anniversary and time it to her R&R HOF Debut….

The girls are fighting for scraps and foaming at the mouth when they find one — I just let them have it and choose not to engage. They can circlejerk all they want in the confines of that thread or the next, as long as they aren't polluting my threads idrc about their snark.

Yeah, this was my take originally last fall. I'm unsure what I think it's better for her; YE 1 & 2 on BB200 back to back years, or 2 T10 singles. Maybe it's the BB200, but she's always been a BB200 juggernaut.

Alright, @Calvin seeing how things shake out, I'm now in agreement that shifting her album forward 1 week would have been great for Taylor's YE song charting efforts. She had a chance to finish # 3, 8 & 30 with TFOO, Opalite, and ET, with IKIIKY looking likely for a 13-15 placement. 4 songs top 30 in your 20th year as a mainstream artist is hella impressive. It's looking more like #5,11 & 41 for the TLOAS songs now, still amazing, but that 2 top 10 songs would've been neat. Holding out hope that BB reviews the weight of songs pre Jan 2026 streaming points inflation to level out the chart runs for October-Jan songs.

Laur Elle needs some recognition "You Were In My Dream" is a bop. So is her latest song Quicksand

The mental psychosis I witnessed from one user going through that thread, whew lord, to say Taylor has no impact and then spend time making a list of 5 songs that are "damning"… can't relate.

If it's not TS13, and it's Taylor Swift's Taylor Swift album, she better hold that shii for October. If she's not planning to release it for another 5 years to coincide with R&R HOF instead… then okay I see the vision.

Wait you're getting promo??? I want in!

In the sense that studies show that if you assume the identity of "future you" who completed a goal you're striving for, you're more likely to achieve it, but not in the karmic sense that you alter the universe to achieve it.

Yes it's real, I was Gracie Abrams.

TS1 was released October 24, 2006

lol.

I watched her interview and thought "oh, she's mastered the three separate songs interweaving, she's writing a soundtrack to her movie". She's going to do that thing where you have three separate arcs that manage to tie into a totally different song when played together. We can all clown.

She's breaking down her process and reflecting on things that have happened to her. Not sure how responding to questions with examples and references comes off as unintelligent to you, but I guess we can't all have maggots for brains 🤷‍♂️
