Enjoying it a bit more today but for me it’s below the standard of her last few album releases. Perhaps l’ll change my opinion over time!
We've finally gotten a performance of exile with Taylor and Justin in the same room! Absolutely incredible performance, part of me wishes they did evermore instead though since we've never heard a live version of that but I prefer exile so no complaints from me!
It was so lovely to hear it live with an audience :-) I learned evermore on piano and would just love to hear it live some day. Midnights has grown on me since - I like quite a few songs now. Probably somewhere in a par with lover minus the hits like Lover, Cornelia street, Cruel Summer.
I really like Midnights now, it's now in my top 3 albums, giving folklore a run for its money for 2nd at the moment! I wish Labyrinth didn't ruin the flow from Question...? to Bejeweled though, it would've been better placed after Karma.
She’s had to remove the ‘fat’ scene from the video. Honestly people are taking offence over nothing these days. She clearly talked about her eating disorder in her documentary and what it & press reports on her weight did to her.
Taylor has just announced her US tour, the Era’s tour. Oh how I want a ticket! Wonder what the chances are she comes to Ireland. Will definitely go to the U.K. if she doesn’t come here.
Apparently it's already been referred to as the UK & Ireland tour, so here's hoping.
I saw that but apparently it’s been adjusted to only say UK now so the jury’s out. Also she didn’t target Irish fans with presale codes with album launch, only U.K. She also didn’t target any mainland Europeans either though with that. 50/50 chance I’d say!
Ah she can't have been taking photos on a Donegal beach, and mentioned Wicklow on her latest album to go and leave Ireland out on her European tour :)
They are good omens for sure!
In honour of the release of TTPD, I decided to log in and post here. Much of the Anthology sounds folklore like, particularly The Albatross, Prophecy, Cassandra and many others. I love I look in People’s Window’s also. Think the album has been misunderstood by the general public, they’re just obsessed with attributing this album to a ‘love interest’ rather than just listening to the music. I think this album is mostly a battle between Taylor Swift the person versus Taylor Swift the trademark & public facing figure/image.
