Tell me you have never listened to the vast majority of Taylor Swift's songs - (and never listened to any of them properly,) without telling me you have never listened to the vast majority of Taylor Swift's songs - (and never listened to any of them properly.)

I think there are two albums. This is the grief album and the next one is the victory/starting over/new life album. Most likely a surprise release. I think that's why she did so many mash ups in the recent leg of the tour, she wanted to do the old songs a bit more before having a new era to work through.

I also think illicit affairs is a triangle song. Vs 1 is about James, vs 2 Augustine and vs 3 is betty.

Why anybody who doesn't like TS comes on a TS thread continues to puzzle me.

My DD said it’s been categorised (no idea where) as “synth pop”. If true it sounds more Midnights than Folklore.

I think you could be right @whenemmafallsinlove. I have a sneaky feeling that she's got a lot more than one album's worth of material up her sleeve.

I'm trying to keep an open mind about what the album will sound like, but hoping that it's not another synth pop/Jack Antonoff heavy album. I prefer the Aaron Dessner produced songs from her recent albums.

Has anyone else noticed that loads of the songs have reaaally long titles? Like 6-8 words? Who's up for MBOBHFT and ICDIWABH?

The really sad thing is that I already know what those acronyms represent 😂

Agree re: Jack vs Aaron. I love Jack but I always adored The National years before I ever even considered listening to TS, and Aaron's vibe is much more up my street really.

I went to a Bleachers gig a couple of weeks ago, it was ace 😁

Who would be up for a TTPD thread next Friday? I don't really have any Swifties to talk to in my actual non-MN life (dh and ds just roll their eyes 😂)

Yes! I think I'll celebrate with a new swiftie inspired username.

Definitely up for this! I can and will discuss it with DD23, but will talk to anyone and everyone about it!

I'm not sure whether it was a typo for Yeats or Keats or whether there is a poet Pleats, but in my mind, there is a poet Pleats and he's a white duck, a regular farmyard duck who is also a poet. And now I'm happily composing duck poetry.

Thanks to having 2 teenagers I know exactly who James, Betty and Inez are and clearly both girls should tell James to FTFOATFOSM.

I feel like Midnights was a nice compromise in sound between 1989 and Folklore e.g. Maroon, but yeah, this one feels like it'll be a bit 1989ish and I don't think that album can be beaten.

I'd rather have more High Infidelity than more Paris!
