I've been hearing some xtina new music talk from a few different gays lately and apparently she may actually be working on a new project lol The thing that's making me actually believe there's something going on is that i've heard the same couple of titles from completely different people. like not "christina is recording again" which is something we've been hearing for years, but actual song titles / producer names. The one that keeps coming up is "To Luv Ya" which i'm told may be one of the more important songs they're considering for the project. no idea if it's actually the lead or if people are just assuming that because it's apparently one of the songs getting worked on a lot. some other titles i've heard thrown around: Freak To Freak Intergalactic B*itches Be Sleeping The producer thing is actually what caught my attention more. I'm hearing Margo XS (Detour, Midnight Sun), Miley (C,XOXO), Jonah Abraham (2hollis) and Warpstr being involved with different sessions / material. That's a pretty interesting group of names to have floating around a Xtina project ! Thoughts?

Bangerz was a bop

bc nobody cares . dd

I will never get over the fact that Midnights could have been THE Taylor Swift album of this decade and instead she treated it like the starting gun for an album-content treadmill.. Like genuinely why was the plan: Midnights (2022) - Tortured Poets (2024) - Showgirl (2025) And yes I know she was on the Eras Tour, yes I know she was working constantly, whatever. THAT IS MY POINT. Why are we acting like she needed to have a brand new original studio album every time the previous one was still basically sitting on top of the culture??? I think an interesting thing ive observed, that people kinda allude to without actually saying it is that they've gotten sick of taylor. I think people are just tired of her. and i dont even mean "taylor is over" bc clearly she isnt, but there's just this... exhaustion around her now that i really dont think would've happened if she had just taken a BREAK. Midnights shouldve come out in 2022, done its thing, and then she shouldve just ******* DISAPPEARED and made her next album for 3 years. like i mean actually sat down and wrote songs. worked with max martin. used that really generic max martin formula on purpose. and i actually think she couldve done something really interesting with that too because it wouldn't even have to be another "taylor swift's love life" album.

This deluxe only further proves how stale and boring she is when she takes lead on her projects.

I'm sorry but someone needs to say it because the way ATRL talks about Taylor's pen sometimes feels completely detached from reality. She is obviously a successful songwriter. Nobody is denying that. But "once-in-a-generation lyrical genius"??? .. Girl. A huge chunk of the material people cite when they praise her as some untouchable pop writer comes from the periods where she was working with Max Martin, Shellback, Jack Antonoff, etc. And suddenly anything on the finished record gets treated as if Taylor sat alone in a room and handcrafted every melodic, lyrical and structural decision herself. The funniest example is probably 1989. People will drag out songs like "Blank Space," "Style," "Wildest Dreams," "Bad Blood," etc. and talk about them like they're proof that Taylor personally reinvented pop songwriting. Meanwhile you have some of the most commercially effective material of her career being built through massive collaborative pop-writing sessions. Then folklore happens and suddenly the narrative becomes "Taylor has always been this impossibly intricate literary songwriter who doesn't need anyone."

When is Taylor going to let Max Martin take over and write her stuff, do the melodies.

I just had gotten all of the deluxe tracks as of recently but before I only had one untitled song -- I'm assuming was an outtake from this album, and then Pink Clouding.

It is but you're not looking.

Katycats sabotaging Taylor will always take me out bc it's always so pointless it's out in a day too

One of the Katy gays got the deluxe thru some reviewing job. It's all over Twitter chi

Rankings: Pink Clouding Easily the one I keep going back to. Something about the melody just sticks immediately, and the chorus feels way bigger than I expected. I can already see this being that song. Cleveland! Weirdly addictive. Took me a couple listens to get into it, but there's something really effortless about the whole thing. Feels like one of those songs people will either completely get or completely hate. Patient Zero I like it, but I think I expected more from it being the lead single? The writing is probably the most interesting part, though. I love how the synths kinda glide throughout the song, the only critique I have is it feels like it's building up to nothing. And the vocal takes are a bit bland. This is a song for belting and she was kinda whispering. I kept waiting for her to let loose and she just… didn't. It has this really pretty, hazy quality, almost "Labyrinth" in that way, but I just can't get why she would choose this as a single. Babylon Not bad at all, just the one I'm least attached to. The repetition of some of the melodies starts getting kinda irritating after a while. I feel like I'd appreciate it more in the context of the full album.

But not in a way you'd expect. It's less tongue-in cheek and very "ohhhh wait Taylor's being subtle for once"

Pink Clouding is an ode to Lavender Haze, lyrically

Why you so pressed? You'd think a Taylor fan outta all people would have it, but you don't.
