Im not expecting anything Lasso-related on her Boston show TBH… unless, maybe, Tough is released around that date and Quavo is invited to collab with her?  But hey, look at me being so delulu, after Hyde Park last year, I shouldn’t have such high hopes

idk if this article has been brought up yet, but this billboard article implies lasso is still coming in September. I know they could be totally wrong, but with Elle saying it would be and this I’m having more hope we will have a release hopefully September if not the end of the year.

She continued, “So where’s ‘Lasso’ going? I really have no idea now!”

The project is slated for release in September, and marks her 10th studio LP. The release is the followup to 2023’s Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart.

I want to believe but I think the writers of  these magazines know about as much as we do, there’s multiple instances of magazines giving the wrong release dates (LFL, NFR in March, September for COTCC) but here’s to hoping!!

Please keep the topic here relating to Lasso, we have a thread to have this discussion

i am still manifesting that Lasso will have more than 15 tracks and no covers tho 

[whitelungswhitepalms 10,090]

Finally watching the NME interview and the album is definitely coming. She explains again that it’s more songbook melodic and less self revealing. I think the intention of her previous comment was to signal she doesn’t know where Lasso will fit with all these country albums being released or already released.

 

i think she might be uncertain where it will fit it the culture, but this uncertainty makes me even more excited for this record.

 

sorry i know we’ve moved on from this topic

10/14 original songs + 1 cover is the magic recipe imho

yeah, that seems to be what she means. there's an album coming, but she's not sure she's really "going country" as mentioned by the reporter.

Metacritic has a list of upcoming albums and they’re also saying it could come out in September, though it’s in the « not confirmed yet » category

I think 13 tracks is good. Her longer albums tend to be bloated sorry LFL/BB/Ocean Blvd. I think 12-14 tracks is the perfect length for her.

Tbh I don’t completely get this argument, I don’t want 30+ songs like some of my faves, but I’ll never say no to 16 tracks. That just gives me more content to possibly enjoy and if I don’t like a track or two (which happens on every album) I still have plenty of songs to fall back on, COTCC had 11 songs and I don’t love three of them so that leaves me with 8 tracks to enjoy.

 

IDK I get not wanting an album to be bloated but I’ll also take as many songs as possible just for the variety 

[Psychedelic Pussy 30,108]

I’ll accept 13 tracks IF it means her psychedelic surf rock trip hop masterpiece 20-track album is out within 14 months….

I agree. And if someone said it was 16 tracks I would be happy with that too haha. I mean obviously you know I love TTPD which has gotten the “bloated” argument a million times. But my comment was more for the people who are dissapointed it isn’t some 18+ track long mega album lol (which I find funny considering how many people on here accused Taylor of being “greedy” for releasing a double album…. but that’s not the point). I think a shorter album can be an indication of more thought out tracklist and picking the best of the best.
