Annoying. She can fuck off w her vinyls - they’ll be on YouTube 5 mins after midnight April 19th. 

this. when she shows us all of them, im going to pick my favorite cover picture and vinyl color, not even gaf about the songs. 

 

but i am curious as to how many there will be. this is so cringey but my prediction is 6 different ‘file names’ because there are 16 tracks and 1+6+6=13

when the whole album sounds like  tolerate it then what

I’m not gonna write a whole thesis about the recent T.S hate/backlash but I will say that it’s really turning me away from most social media platforms. Every video lately has been about some thing about the Grammys or the Super Bowl and reading comment sections on Taylor related posts is horrifying lately. I will say that I find the jet memes HILARIOUS and I never get sick of em- she should get dragged for that 100% 

 

Anyways I hope TTPD is a masterpiece so people can stop making fun of her lyricism and remember the talented songwriter she is 

What she said at the eras tour last night about this being a cathartic album and being important to write gives me higher hopes.

I feel the same exact way, everything you said lol. And don’t get me started on the satanic accusations and transvestigators

An insider who claims to have heard the album says the TikTok leaks are not real and the album will have a very “different” and “unexpected” sound. Take with a grain of salt bc it’s hearsay of hearsay…

Also if we are to believe this is the Joever album, the way Speak Now was the Mayer album—she might include touches of Joe’s favorite music/genres just to mess with him—and apparently Joe loved Bon Iver’s i,i glitch-pop sound

Tbh I don’t see her wanting to mess with Joe in the way she wanted to fuck with John because I am assuming they have mutual respect given they were together for 6 years. Also I do think we are going to get a good amount of tea on some of the more secretive parts of the relationship

 

Though I am very down for a Bon Iver/Glitch pop sound, maybe she listened to Azealia and is taking inspo from The Shins

[Bluelake 2,891]

I think it will be soul pop and melodic r&b/hip hop with some organic instruments added in

I feel like her shtick lately is trying to be a “poet” of Lana’s calibre but missing the mark completely. I can’t put my finger on it but it just feels so inauthentic. Shout out to Red, though. 

I'm NOT a hater but 100% this

I still really, really hate the title. She deadass watched Dead's Poet's Society, got out her thesaurus and went, "aha! Tortured Poet's Department". It's not original imo. She should channel Lana and change it without warning or explanation

She didn't get it from the movie, it's a reference to Joe's groupchat he named Tourtured Mens Club it something

The Swifties couldn’t handle 2019-2021 Lana with White Hot Forever, Chemtrails Over The Country Club, Rock Candy Sweet, Loved You Then And Now, and Blue Banisters 

 

And then rumor she changed it for a 3rd time 😭

[paradiso 1,639]

Kind of want this album to serve some hazy atmospheric indie folk rock like FIILY/Cinnamon girl/How to disappear/Tulsa Jesus Freak/Dark But Just A Game/Dance Til We Die

[jimmyjimmycocoapuff 5,715]

I was listening to ivy yesterday, all the way through, for the first time in a while, and damn! It may be her most well written song to date, in my opinion. The (2!!) bridges are immaculate and her vocals are so good  "Crescent moon, coast is clear, spring breaks loose, but so does fear, he's gonna burn this house to the ground" now THOSE are some lyrics that could cut glass  I hope her writing is as good on TTPD, she promised us songwriting and we better get it!

so is the fortnight snippet real 

[Elle 121,315]

Another alternate variant just announced with bonus track “The Albatross”

So far I like this cover the best actually, I can’t describe it, there’s just a certain feeling about it I resonate with somehow x

[Sportscruiser 11,894]

My god.

 

There is a culture of FOMO in the Taylor fandom that she actively and purposefully encourages in her messaging and it's always, always, always packaged in a way that makes the die hard fans think it's not a trick. And for the most part, it's actually tricks that give them something -- like having a secret song unique to each show of a tour. This is great and special for fans at each show, but it also encourages fans to seek out content online for EVERY show to see EVERY new moment - boosting her social media metrics. It also encourages fans-of-means to go to multiple shows and to spend thousands of dollars doing so. Part of what she achieves by all the secret messaging hinting at what's next doubles down on the FOMO culture - you have to stay ever-present in the Taylorsphere to catch them all, and you have to post about it online and discuss it with each other. Yes, it's lovely that it creates a community, but it creates superfandom and tricks people into feeling like they need to purchase every vinyl and every deluxe edition in order to qualify as a superfan.

No one else does this. I completely understand how it's fun and exciting for the fans. But call a spade a spade, a capitalist a capitalist, and a woman seeking domination a woman seeking domination. This is absurd.

[Bluelake 2,891]

I also like this album cover the best, very excited for this album… 

 

edit: that vinyl color is also very beautiful
