Taylor Swift Band • Page 94

There’s a new Ellie Goulding something on March 1st, too. I couldn’t handle both halves of my heart giving me gifts on the same day tbh

 

Would kinda make sense though - releasing a spring album for the first time ever is a very firm way to lean into breaking old patterns and Lorde knows the girl is into symbols

 

Now I’m terrified it’s going to be nothing.

 

I'm ready for it.

 

Gotten sucked into her subreddit the past couple of days and I guess some twitter account that leaked some info about Reputation is going to be posting something today at noon est in regards to her new music/era.

 

I would love to be wrong but despite all the theories I don’t think the album is even coming this year

 

She also likes to tease us and play into the crazy fan theories to throw people off- for instance, before 1989 everyone was CONVINCED it was going to be called "Roses" and she wore a dress with roses all over it on TV and everyone flipped their shit. She liked a bunch of Tumblr posts later that were basically like "you will never figure me out I'm always 80 steps ahead." So I try not to get TOO invested in these.

However, the calendar stuff is legit- April 13th and October 13th are also marked, so the theory I've been reading is that if this IS a countdown, it's to announcing the rumored Elle covers. Then a single on April 13th, and album on October 13th, which sort of follows her usual old rollout plans.

I would die for a surprise happy album though. She's looking content and soft lately. I'm really happy for her!

 

Like, Elle magazine? A social media countdown to a magazine cover/article? I dunno... that seems odd. I guess unless the magazine is the album announcement and it goes in depth about what’s to come?

 

If its a count down to a magazine, my friend Megan is going to be soooooooo pissed. She is like a friggin super fan and has about a zillion theories.

 

I could see her straying from her typical fall release schedule so that it doesn't interfere with the release of Cats

 

I was thinking of that too. But on the other hand, it also seems like something maybe they would want to have come out around the same time as Cats. "Strike while the iron's hot" kinda mentality. But yeah, I could see both scenarios having pros and cons.

 

I guess! I keep hearing she's going to be on the US/UK cover for April. But given how early they run magazines, we'll know if that's true very soon. I'm hoping it's true and that it'll be a real interview. I'm over her either giving dramatic poems to magazines or doing softball interviews where she asks the questions.

 

Fwiw

 

okkkkaaayyyy we'll see about that

 

I don’t know anything about this account but some of the people on Reddit were saying they were accurate with some of the stuff they posted about Rep before it came out. Luckily we don’t have long to wait to see if they’re full of shit..lol.

 

Sounds likely!

 

I've officially got myself excited

 

I can feel myself becoming one of those reddit conspiracy people rn. Can't wait for this!

 

If she's really releasing it this quick, I assume it's meant to be the counterpoint to Reputation (her angry album that ultimately shows her deciding to stop caring so much about how people perceive her) and will be the happy album about how much better her life has gone since she decided to let go of that.

 

With all the flowers and pastel colored aesthetic, I’m expecting a summer album rather than a fall album.

 

I'm pretty sure she had this album already basically done, but then all the drama happened and Reputation was born. So if we are getting an album this year, its not "quick", she already had most of it done.

TS7 should have been TS6.....but nothing ever works out the way we plan, does it? Nope. Taylor knows that.

 

wait, are we saying that Ryan Tedder being in LA and posting pics of palm trees is now evidence???? I am not buyin it

 

yeah, that's a stretch haha

 

I feel like Reputation was her doubling down on how much she cares about how people perceive her tbh. But ia about a happy album! I would love a nice happy summer album
