I keep getting the urge to go out on my balcony to yell down to everyone that she's releasing another new album tonight
I took the day off work yesterday just for the hell of it, and told myself, "I'll just do double the work tomorrow" and now here I am doing absolutely no work and just refreshing Taylor related pages every couple minutes...
surely, she is going to have some songs that tie together like she did on folklore, right? i'm speculating the ones that are titled peoples names could potentially be connected to each other. (and don't call me shirley)
One of my favorite experiences this year was hitting play on folklore and experiencing a full 16 track album out of nowhere from one of my favorite artists without having heard any singles or clips prior. I can’t believe I get to do that again tonight. So very cool! Now where’s the vinyl?????
Remember when everyone was like "folklore is great but she should've released it in the fall! Such a fall album!"
super hyped for new songs. super not hyped on the continuation of the taylor swift/indie discourse that will follow
The worst discourse will be the folks/critics who just call it “more of the same”, as if like 13 of the 17 folklore songs aren’t perfect and more perfect songs is a GOOD thing!
I don’t really see how I can couple them together with two weeks to go in the year. That’s fine though, lists are ultimately ways to (1) mark your life and (2) recommend music to people.
I mean, honestly, that too. Though, I’ve had a ton of weird creative fanfics over the years, & the only ones I’ve successfully wished into existence are Taylor Swift w/ The National & Tom Hardy playing Venom (one of which took a decade to materialize). Still, I’m very happy about those being the wishes that worked!
Marjorie is apparently her grandmother’s name, so people are speculating that it could be a complement to epiphany
