Well at least Lana is credited and will get the streams for the song.

Well that sucks. Makes sense why Lana hasn’t talked about the song then.

She did say songwriter and not vocalist…

The one on twitter is not the same person apparently. BOZ was trolling about a few details yesterday, so I don’t know who to believe about the sound of the album now.

There’s a chance that he may not be talking about Midnights and was instead referring to the surprise that Taylor is announcing on Friday. Idk if she would announce another album so soon though.

BOZ finally talked about Taylor “remember when everyone thought folklore and evermore needed a 3rd album to complete a trilogy?”. I think he may be hinting at this album being similar to those 2.

Yeah I think some people have heard it. I feel like the people that do have it wouldn’t talk about it though. Even BOZ, who usually gets everything months in advance, refused to comment on the sound of the album. I think insiders tend to be more careful when it comes to Taylor.

Well if we are believing insiders, it sounds like Midnights has quite a few upbeat pop songs on it.

Song credits should be out in a couple days, so we will know if that insider is correct or not from the Ryan Tedder comment.

Right. It’s her private account too. She doesn’t have to post about her music if she doesn’t want to. I still hope she mentions the Taylor collab at some point though.

It can’t be Lorde because no one mentioned her in the initial thread. The only options left that were mentioned are Lana, Sky, Rihanna, and RAYE. I could see it being Rihanna because she is rumored to be doing a stadium tour next year, so she will likely release an album in the next few months. Him agreeing with Taylor’s comments about Lana makes me hopeful that he was taking about her though.

Do you know where he said this? He said he wasn’t going to talk about Midnights a few days ago.

Are you talking about the sunset lyrics? If you are, those lyrics were from a Caroline Polachek song.

Oh no she wasn’t. She was mentioned in the second tweet he made. So I guess that would leave Lana, Rihanna, and Sky.

Same. I feel like it’s Caroline Polachek.

I mean those comments were made in 2005. Hard to tell if Lana has ever seen them. Churchhome seems to push inclusive messaging now, so I can see why it would appeal to celebrities.

Yeah me too. Insiders were way off about how WCE would sound, and I feel like it is part of the reason some people ended up being disappointed in the song. Hope people don’t get mad or disappointed if it doesn’t turn out to be a pop rock song.

Artists have even been doing 5th anniversary vinyl releases recently. They don’t even have new songs most of the time. It is just a special edition vinyl. I don’t see why Lana would care about another vinyl version being released for BTD when Chemtrials had like 10, so it’s strange that they didn’t release anything for it.

Are you thinking of Mike Dean? He only worked on Wildflower Wildfire. I remember he talked about adding the crunchy drums to that song. I don’t think any of the producers of Text Book(Zachary Dawes, Gabe Simon, Dean Reid) have ever talked about the creation of the song, but maybe I just missed it.

When Ben says soon he really means that it’s like 7 months away. He said Ellie Goulding had new music coming out soon in January, and it didn’t come out until July.

Ben just used the s word again…

She should release BTD outtakes instead.

It probably will. “According to an NYU rep, the course will examine Del Rey’s contributions to 21st Century pop stardom, her relationship to feminism, her musical influences and artists she has influenced, and her connection to social justice movements such as #BlackLlivesMatter, #MeToo and #TimesUp”

Wasn’t the Paradise edition released in November? Maybe it could be that. It’s probably not related to either LDR9 or BTD though. It could end up being some random merch drop.

I thought you were joking but she actually did… He released a few country songs this year. Maybe we are getting a Clay feature on LDR9.
