oh it's the album cover & she just doesn't want to reveal the track titles yet that's such a goofy move lolThis becomes even funnier as more covers are revealed.

sorry that may actually be the list of filmic inspirations for the “all too well” video

Now wanting a music video where John Mayer screws up making pancakes for his kid while Taylor’s trying to do an interview in the living room.

xp i think it’s about the album? next tweet says
(Context for this was talking about movies as inspiration — as she was writing, some movies dovetailed with the process: for 1989, she was watching John Hughes movies; for Folklore, lots of Guillermo del Toro; for Evermore, Sense and Sensibility)— Elamin Abdelmahmoud (@elamin88) September 9, 2022

Lavender isn't really my color – but this morning I preordered the Target Exclusive CD, with three bonus tracks.
(...although I notice now they're titled "Bonus Track One," "Bonus Track Two (Remix)," and "Bonus Track Three (Remix)." So I guess it's one add'l song and two remixes.)

I hope “Mastermind” isn’t a clumsy pun that indicates the final track is about Scooter Braun (or her masters in general).
― Obviously Five Beliebers (morrisp), Wednesday, 21 September 2022 16:00 (one year ago) link
I hope it's a tribute to special master Raymond J. Dearie.

I just assume that Mastermind she'll tell us that Automator's on the planet Earth, and he's going to stop the war of the worlds.

Taylor Swift dumping the dude from the National or whatever and making an album with Tuomas Holopainen would be amazing.

"Vigilante Shit" and "Bejeweled" are fabulous titles.
those song titles all scan like strains of cannabis.

Pretty sure that according to TikTok Swiftie lore ‘Karma’ is the provisional name of an album Taylor recorded but abandoned in between 1989 and Reputation.

I don't remember the last time someone of Taylor's stature announced an album with not a single note of music released this far into the campaign, like even Beyoncé released "Break My Soul"

Is it “70s singer-songwriter” sounding?
― Reese's Pisces Iscariot (morrisp), Wednesday, 19 October 2022 18:54 (one year ago) link
xp - yeah, I'm surprised that there still hasn't been a single yet. I mean, I guess when you reach this kind of superstar level and you've already got x100000 pre-saves and pre-orders, you don't have to worry about the hype but still feels odd.

― Reese's Pisces Iscariot (morrisp), Wednesday, 19 October 2022 20:46 (one year ago) link
evermore aside she has shown, to an almost political degree imo, a loyalty to the old school idea of putting out a big dumb pop single to lead a record and promoting it like your life depends on it. showing up at the NFL draft to make sure middle america streamed "me!" and such like. even "cardigan" she flogged in a really unnecessary and inescapable capitol one commercial. my bet would be on her still running that playbook once the album drops w/ whatever single they've chosen for this
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 October 2022 20:51 (one year ago) link
the single being "anti-hero"
On Thursday (October 20), a teaser trailer will be shown in the third quarter of Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime Video, while a “special very chaotic surprise” is also set to take place at 3am EST (8am BST) on Friday. Lyric videos will then follow later that evening.
this is simply what she does

it's just pop taylor but without the sort of baffling decisions that have been a regular presence on her pop albums
― ufo, Thursday, 20 October 2022 02:42 (one year ago) link
it's pretty easily her most consistent pop album but idk if there's going to be any big hits from this, it's a bit moodier and she's not really trying to force a big single
