    In terms of pure personal preference, I’d put it fourth, though there are albums I like less than it that I think are more successful as full-album listening experiences. My issue with Cowboy Carter is actually that I think the “history lesson” aspects of it mostly fall flat/are a chore to listen to more than once. I listen to the shortened playlist version of it I made way more than the full album.

    My ranking:

    Midwest Princess
    Tortured Poets
    Short n Sweet
    Cowboy Carter
    Brat
    Hard and Soft
    New Blue Sun

    Haven’t listened to the Jacob Collier album.

    to be clear, my high ranking of TTPD is based on the album alone, not the deluxe edition, which I am not counting

    Goddamn, man child Prestigious

    Tortured poets dept didn't deserve aoty and neither did midnights. Midnights is her only aoty I didn't think deserved it. Cowboy Carter didn't stick with me a ton but obv Beyonce has deserved that award like 4 times by now lol. I felt like aoty was just stacked this year and I don't hate tortured poets but it wasn't at the level

    Wherever she's getting her hair is A+. I like to think the good sis Sabrina Carpenter showed her the ways of the hair

    I actually really liked her outfit. Her shoes looked uncomfortable which made her legs look a bit stiff in photos I've seen but then it made her thigh muscles look like such goals. Drop the leg routine, Taylor!

    People are clowning because the iHeart Music Awards are tonight and Taylor is up for some awards and being honored with the Tour of the Century award. It’s two years to the day that the Eras Tour debuted so it she ends up attending people think maybe an Eras Tour documentary may be announced. I didn’t get to go to the tour but a documentary would be cool to watch.

    The fan accounts are assuming this is for TS12 (it’s unclear based on the video), but violinist Erik Arvinder said in a now deleted video by Universal Music that he is “working on Taylor Swift’s record”

     
  13. i'd rather get Debut TV than TS12 at this point haha. i'm still digesting Tortured Poets.

    We already know that she is constantly writing and recording, she's very likely has recorded like, 100 songs since TTPD came out, so it's not surprising that a composer may be working on a song or two

    She should surprise release Rep TV, Debut TV, and TS12 all on the same day. On like a Wednesday or something. Maximum chaos. Break all the streaming platforms. Nobody else can print vinyls for three years.

    Cover art for TS12 is her pregnant belly at her and Travis's wedding

    I miss Taylor Swift being on tumblr, and me ignoring her account entirely.

    A local news station just dropped that a charity event will be auctioning off a signed guitar and “two concert tickets during her upcoming 2026 tour” so it looks like she may be back on the road next year.

    If I were a betting man

    2025: reputation in summer, debut in winter
    2026: new album Q2, tour starts Q4
    2027: tour year

    unrealated, but "How Bad Do U Want Me" from the latest Lady Gaga album absolutely could be a Taylor song, it feels straight outta 1989/rep/midnights zone

    She even performed it like Taylor performs at Coachella, it made me chuckle. I think it was definitely an intentional decision to make a Taylor Swift style song

    Oh yeah? Maybe I'll seek that out, curious to see what that looks like
