    Rather unsurprisingly too I might add given how truly immaculate it is! It's a beautiful masterpiece! Like, literally every single song is just amazing! This could potentially be my favourite Taylor album ever, and as you can imagine, that bar has already been set ridiculously high!

    Nice new album Midnights - she’s just added extra dates to the US tour.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,013 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    She has written a script which she will direct, more bows to her strings

    Eras tour kicked off last night in the US. 44 songs... Over 3 hours with no break. Impressive stuff by all accounts.

    The Grammys Queen, history maker

    Do you think she will win the Super Bowl on Sunday??

    Not a fan, but she is a marketing genius!

    Releasing her three hours Eras film to cinemas without middlemen at $19.89/ticket is inspirational, even when the tour is going on. Worth a listen

    31 songs on The Tortured Poets Department. TS really is something else.

    I haven’t been able to go past song no.2 yet as it’s just so good. What a remarkable young woman she is.

    Am up as far as song 10 and very impressed, it’s like a wilder version of folklore, full of snarly vengeful lyrics, and the songs are gloriously unstructured. It reminds me of Lana Del Ray at her very best, but even much better. And it will take a long time to get fully familiar with these mad brilliant songs.

    anyone listen to it?

    Not duets as such - but one song featuring Post Malone, whilst another features Florence (and the Machine)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,633 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    Yes, the whole world mostly, apart from most countries in Africa. Another album of the year Grammy will be coming to our Queen Taylor.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,013 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    The first album in Spotify history to have over 300m streams in a single day



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,633 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    I think the highlight of the Eras tour on Disney+ is towards the ending of ‘Are you ready for it’, the choreographed dance where they all shimmy sideways and when Taylor sings the high notes is just iconic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,633 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    Baby let the games begin, let the games begin, let the games begin yeah.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,633 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    That closing bridge in ‘the smallest man who ever lived’ is just so good. Imagine if the whole song was just an extended version of that, as the first 2mins of it is a bit slow. I hope there will be a 10mins version of this with much more bridge.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,633 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    I think the only mistake TS has made with TTPS is releasing Fortnite as first single, and I think she only did this becos there was another famous music star on it. Her leading single shuda been ‘Who’s afraid of little old me??’ and it shuda been released a few days or a week before the album. Oh yeah, that wuda made the world explode!!

    I loved some of her previous work, but I feel like I'll be sitting this one out. It feels more like an TS 'brand' album, than anything catchy or relatable.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,633 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    The video for Fortnite has very much a ‘Poor Things’ movie vibe to it. Imagine if Taylor had done that film instead of Emma Stone and she won the Oscar. It would have been awesome to see her in all those nudie scenes that ES did!!

    Can someone explain why articles written by Irish journalists are just all about who they think each song is about? Does no one have a brain cell in their heads and critique the actual music and lyrics which can be applied to any situation…

    This song is so well written and performed. Peter Pan theme from Wendy’s perspective.

    Eras tour has come to an end. No sign of Reputation TV yet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,633 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    She needs to still do the Vienna shows next summer!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,369 ✭✭✭thereiver


    I like blank space and a few of her songs. She's great live in concert I m not a real swifie she's been singing for 20 years and she's more popular than ever she sells out arenas where ever she go,s

    I am a big Swiftie too. And she has more than a few songs that you can like, there are over 100. She is not just a great pop star, she is also extremely beautiful, sexy and intelligent. She is the Queen of Earth.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,369 ✭✭✭thereiver


    She is also polite she has given more to charity than any other popstar I know she does,not use drugs she's a good role model she can sing duets with any other singer in pop country or rock music style she seems like a nice person who has not been destroyed by fame

    Even the pop singers I like have maybe 2 or albums and the. thier popularity wants or they stop making good music

    Id like to see a documentary like don't look back because n Dylan film about her behind the scenes on the eras tour who she gets ready for the concert and hangs out how the arenas are prepared for all the stages special effects

    Ithink she,s in her imperial phase like the Beatles in the 60s where they just got better and release great music .eg she has not made any mistakes she did not get involved in bad relationships or get taken advantage of by some man or manager

    IId like to see her take part in the concert to raise money for lafire charity's

    Even if you don't like Dylan he is very funny and witty when he's in documentarys talking to random people

    I like her but theres other female singers I like more in terms of singing voice style

    I think she might go to Japan or China in the next 2 years for a few concerts

    Most pop singers have 3 good albums at most then they just tour or choose to retire and live off royalties

    I watch all her duets on YouTube she can sing any kind of song with anyone Ariana grande has a wider vocal range I only watch what comes up on YouTube I don't listen to music radio at all

    Theres a video on YouTube Ariana grande can sing exactly like cher Britney spears other pop singers it's uncanny and she's a good actor too

    I watched a maria Carey concert she s a great live singer

    Taylor is not a good actor

    I think she has good taste Travis Kelce is a nice person he has a good sense of humour he seems like a good partner for taytay

    He has a popular podcast he seems to be getting ready to retire

    I think Beyonce is her nearest rival in terms of releasing hit albums for years and still being popular
