Taylor Swift - The Tortured Poets Department

I'm interested in the album heaving four "sides". Will it be like four stories? Four themes? Four perspectives? Stages of a break up? Maybe each of them will also have a specific sound? So much potential

Also hmm if The Manuscript was originally titled The Bolter?
I think she’s pulling an Olivia. All the CDs and vinyl on her store say “+ bonus track “The Manuscript””, so I won’t be surprised if all the other variants will have a different track.

She’s been naming her album variants for the last four years, except this time, so I can see her differentiating them with the bonus tracks.
 
What if the album houses dancehall bops that knock tf off but she decides to troll everyone with that aesthetics?
That's why I am thinking/hoping/being delusional about. On the cover she is only showing half her face and it has a border, like on 1989. I hope she is hneriergrd-ing everyone with the sensual poetic aesthetic and the sound will be just pop bops and bangers. Wouldn't be the first time album aesthetics did not represent the sound.
 
I like how many people are fearing overexposure. She couldn't be more exposed than she already is, people made Cruel Summer a hit without her doing anything really, her albums are all charting as we speak. People clearly crave Taylor content. And even if people turn on her she'd still sell out all the stadiums and end up at #1 with every release. If she'd start releasing a variant each week for the rest of the year, she'd likely fill out the whole Billboard Top 30.

Her fan base is so massive that even if she alienates half of it, she'd still be massive.

The closing track on the standard album.


Clara Bow was a working class girl who suffered profoundly due to class anxiety and the exclusions that came with that, and her retirement was a result of hereditary mental health problems. She lived with a husband who supported her for many, many years and should not be used for lazy pot shots at a man who keeps himself to himself.

Get her name out of your mouth blondie! She’s not for you!

Four men.

I will say, I do think it’s a bummer that Taylor chose such a mediocre artist with a uniquely unpleasant voice as a feature and it does make me look forward to the album (even?) less. But I’m looking forward to the other song with Post Malone!
AAAAHHH!!!
