triple album confirmed 

wait why did my predictions end up being so accurate 

Fastest album to get 1 billion streams on spotify

Songs I think would  make great music videos:
 
Fresh Out the Slammer - think poolsides, hot weather, sensuality
Florida!!! - Badass visuals featuring Florence
So High School - Something like Teenage Dream maybe, very nostalgic
 
Very summery to me.

this is gonna be controversial, but "The Tortured poets Department" might be her weakest title track to date.
first 4 songs opening the album are disappointing, things only picked up from "So Long London" onward
 

Ok so I made a different version of the TTPD tracklist, a bit more chronological and easier to listen. 
 
1. TTPD 
2. Down Bad
3. Fortnight
4. Florida!!!
5. How Did It End? 
6. Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me? 
7. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart 
8. Guilty As Sin? 
9. The Alchemy 
10. So Long, London 
11. Fresh Out The Slammer 
12. But Daddy I Love Him 
13. I Can Fix Him 
14. My Boy Only Breaks
15. loml 
16. The Smallest Man 
17.The Black Dog 
 
the first 4 tracks are a bit random- but i feel like they work sonically. I love TTPD as an opener, it's kind of a thesis statement for the record.
Next we have Down Bad- which is pretty ambiguous as a song, except if you count "like I lost my twin". I'm still deciphering this line, bc on one hand, Joe and Taylor *look* very similar, but Matty and Taylor are similiar, in the sense that they're both good songwriters, that have a large following and a big fanbase. I'll just put Down Bad there bc it's in the same key as the next song, Fortnight,so it sounds cohesive enough.
Fortnight & Florida are similar in a way that I feel like they're both fictional- Taylor has never actually been to Florida, like she has for tours, but she definitely hasn't been in the part of Florida she's talking about. Fortnight is interesting- it feels like she's making up a situation where she's married to someone (Matty?) but neighbours with an ex (Joe?)
 I chose HDIE as Track 5, even though it isn't the best choice it's still extremely sad, and tbh I see it as a Joe track. They're not officially ended, but it's over in her head. SLL is a amazing track 5 but I needed it later so it works chronologically.
Tracks 6 and 7 is a little interlude about fame and the eras tour, I feel like they're connected.
Track 8 is where it really starts cooking. On Guilty As Sin, she's fantasizing, she wants the rat, she NEEDS him. She wants to break free, and she doesn't care if she's crucified.
On The Alchemy, she has possibly hooked up with him, or something else has happened between her and Ratty. She realizes she can't fight it anymore, the universe is telling her that it's meant to be. 
On SLL she realizes she can't live a double life, she has to let Joe go. The spirit is gone, it's over, and she knows it. 
On Fresh Out The Slammer, she's out of Joe's basement, she is a free woman! And now that she's free she can do whatever the fuck she wants. Who will she be calling first? Obviously the rat, and now they don't have to be secret about it.
On the next song, But Daddy I Love Him, she's in full delulu mode, head over heels for Matty, and she's trying to convince everyone it's gonna work out, and she doesn't give a shit that the whole world is against this relationship. Truly a modern day Love Story. 
On the I Can Fix Him, she's still deluluing herself, I can change him, he's gonna be fixed, until the end of the song, where she's like WHOA um- maybe I can't. 
On My Boy Only Breaks, it's ended. Matty saw a future with Taylor, something longterm, and suddenly realized he didn't want that. I like how the previous song mentions that SHE can fix him, and now on this one, there's a line where she says "Once I fix me, he's gonna miss me". There's a lot of lines that mention they had a history (2014) so this feels like a Matty song
On loml, it's truly over. She realized that it's all fake, and that he was truly hiding the awful person that he is. The whole time he was manipulating her with the idea of marrying and having kids someday, and then one day he just left her, burnt the whole relationship down, the curtain dropped and revealed his lies and carelessness.
The next song, TSMWEL, is the anger that Taylor is feeling after it's over, asking herself if someone hired Matty to mess her up, truly questioning how someone could do something so awful to someone else.
The last song, The Black Dog, is a perfect way to end the record. She's bored on her phone, and she's getting updates about Matty's location, and her seeing that he's at another bar inspires this beautiful track about how even though he'll find someone younger and prettier, she'll never get his references and understand him like Taylor did. 
 
 
And that's the end of my delusions!! I really need to find more hobbies, but this was fun. I enjoy listening to the album this way, it feels a lot more balanced. There's more bops between all the soul crushing songs, and it really tells a story. The only track I removed was Clara Bow, I have nothing against it, I just feel like it makes more sense to end the album with a postbreakup song, since this is clearly a breakup album.
 
 

no fucking way. people need to understand that yes, taylor is very productive, but she's not a machine that vomits out songs. Listen to the 31 track album she just released, and if you want more good music, stay tuned for the new St. Vincent album coming out Friday.

also laughing at this considering I haven't even listened to half of the anthology  if she released a third album i'd have to quit my job

perhaps the most reductive and disrespectful take i've seen about this album.
this album is many things- you could argue that it's "too long" or that it doesn't have "bangers"- while i disagree with these takes, you could definitely argue it.
however- to say that it's a "LANA DEL REY RIPOFF"- it's basically saying, tell me you haven't listened to the album without telling me you haven't listened.
at first glance- yeah, maybe the cover looks a bit lana del rey "esque", some of the titles/album name, ex: "But Daddy I Love Him",  "Guilty As Sin"- but if you ACTUALLY take 
the time to listen to it? You'll come to realize it's one of the most "Taylor Swift" albums she's ever made. She's not trying to make country hits like "Fearless", she's not making her
big pop moment like on "1989", she's not wearing the snake costume like on "Reputation". It's clear that she doesn't give a flaming fuck about how this is received- she could've released the best songs off the 31 song tracklist, and got all the acclaim, but no, she said fuck that and released a messy, and extremely bloated 31 song album. The clear purpose of this album is things she wanted to get off her chest, which kind of makes sense why the production could seem uninteresting at times- she wants you to listen to the lyrics.
 
Here are a few lyrics that imo are quintessential Taylor Swift:
 
- "I love you, it's ruining my life" - a thesis statement on a lot of her discography, if this lyric wasn't true she wouldn't have a career
 
- "And that's the closest I've gotten to my heart exploding" - it's not a perfect line, one could argue it's corny, but it's so Taylor. The lyrics on this song are so unhinged as well, she wasn't faking anything on this song.
 
 - "I'm queen of sandcastles he destroys" - Would Lana write this? No. Some of these lyrics I can't explain how it relates to her- but this metaphor is just so Swiftian, very Blank
Space coded
 
- But Daddy I Love Him- the entire song. Sure,some of the lyrics are quite wordy but the theme is just so Taylor, it's literally a modern day "Love Story". Us against the world, this whole town hates us , etc.
 
- "You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me"  - She is always saying shit like this- and I love her for it! It's so dramatic, over the top, and a bit untrue, but it's hilarious and I love her for it.
 
- "Always drunk on my own tears"  - Well... it's true! And there are 11 albums of proof.
 
- "I''ll forget you but I'll never forgive" - That's my grudge holding queen! She doesn't get over things easy, I mean, she's still writing about Kim almost 10 years later! It might be petty, but I enjoy the vindictiveness at times. 
 
 
I'll stop there but there's literally so much that I could bring up. This album is so autentically "Taylor Swift"', that it may be the reason why a lot of people hate it. Some enjoy it when she's pretending to be someone, but when she's being her unfiltered self- it can be a tough pill to swallow. The only way you could compare this to LDR is how she is just as authentic on her records. I've never listened to a Lana Del Rey record and heard a second of inauthenticity- she makes the music SHE wants to make, and she doesn't give a shit if it sounds boring to anyone besides her. Lana's personality shines through all of her music, and similarly I can feel Taylor's personality shining through this record.
 
 
anyway... I just wrote all that.  Literally sanctimoniously performing soliloquies Fantano will never see- but I needed to get it off my chest bc I'm sick of people comparing the two of them.
 

Legit question why does anyone give a rat’s ass what he has to say? Like what does it even matter? If you like the music you like it. If you don’t you don’t. He is not even remotely part of the equation. And yes I know he rated Tunnel well and I still stand by what I said his opinions are literally pointless and Miss Taylor will get her well deserved streams and that’s how the world spins girlies!!! 🌎🌀🔃🎡

finally listen to the album.
 
Florida!!!, So Long London and Smallest Man are literally one of the best songs she ever made
Honorable mentions: Little Old Me, I Can Fix Him and Clara Bow
 
This album really surprised me of what Taylor can do, the more i listen to it, the more i realize what a disgrace Midnights was.
 
definitely going for THE ANTHOLOGY later, i need to spend my time with this first half of the album.

Suburban House- I don't know if people hate it or they just don't know if it exists, but it's just so beautiful, and I love Holly's voice on it tbh. If Lana made a christmas album I would eat that shit up

anyway... I just wrote all that.  Literally sanctimoniously performing soliloquies Fantano will never see- but I needed to get it off my chest bc I'm sick of people comparing the two of them.
 

Suburban House- I don't know if people hate it or they just don't know if it exists, but it's just so beautiful, and I love Holly's voice on it tbh. If Lana made a christmas album I would eat that shit up 

perhaps the most reductive and disrespectful take i've seen about this album.
this album is many things- you could argue that it's "too long" or that it doesn't have "bangers"- while i disagree with these takes, you could definitely argue it.
however- to say that it's a "LANA DEL REY RIPOFF"- it's basically saying, tell me you haven't listened to the album without telling me you haven't listened.
at first glance- yeah, maybe the cover looks a bit lana del rey "esque", some of the titles/album name, ex: "But Daddy I Love Him",  "Guilty As Sin"- but if you ACTUALLY take 
the time to listen to it? You'll come to realize it's one of the most "Taylor Swift" albums she's ever made. She's not trying to make country hits like "Fearless", she's not making her
big pop moment like on "1989", she's not wearing the snake costume like on "Reputation". It's clear that she doesn't give a flaming fuck about how this is received- she could've released the best songs off the 31 song tracklist, and got all the acclaim, but no, she said fuck that and released a messy, and extremely bloated 31 song album. The clear purpose of this album is things she wanted to get off her chest, which kind of makes sense why the production could seem uninteresting at times- she wants you to listen to the lyrics.
 
Here are a few lyrics that imo are quintessential Taylor Swift:
 
- "I love you, it's ruining my life" - a thesis statement on a lot of her discography, if this lyric wasn't true she wouldn't have a career
 
- "And that's the closest I've gotten to my heart exploding" - it's not a perfect line, one could argue it's corny, but it's so Taylor. The lyrics on this song are so unhinged as well, she wasn't faking anything on this song.
 
 - "I'm queen of sandcastles he destroys" - Would Lana write this? No. Some of these lyrics I can't explain how it relates to her- but this metaphor is just so Swiftian, very Blank
Space coded
 
- But Daddy I Love Him- the entire song. Sure,some of the lyrics are quite wordy but the theme is just so Taylor, it's literally a modern day "Love Story". Us against the world, this whole town hates us , etc.
 
- "You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me"  - She is always saying shit like this- and I love her for it! It's so dramatic, over the top, and a bit untrue, but it's hilarious and I love her for it.
 
- "Always drunk on my own tears"  - Well... it's true! And there are 11 albums of proof.
 
- "I''ll forget you but I'll never forgive" - That's my grudge holding queen! She doesn't get over things easy, I mean, she's still writing about Kim almost 10 years later! It might be petty, but I enjoy the vindictiveness at times. 
 
 
I'll stop there but there's literally so much that I could bring up. This album is so autentically "Taylor Swift"', that it may be the reason why a lot of people hate it. Some enjoy it when she's pretending to be someone, but when she's being her unfiltered self- it can be a tough pill to swallow. The only way you could compare this to LDR is how she is just as authentic on her records. I've never listened to a Lana Del Rey record and heard a second of inauthenticity- she makes the music SHE wants to make, and she doesn't give a shit if it sounds boring to anyone besides her. Lana's personality shines through all of her music, and similarly I can feel Taylor's personality shining through this record.
