Taylor Swift - Folklore

I don’t think it’s as good as the song on Red that he was guest on. And it kind of just stays the same throughout with no real climax. There was no great ending in the video, like there is in the Red song where both singers turn up to collect their kids. It is a good enough song tho, and I guess the big thing about this video is that it is the same 2 actors playing same characters after the 10 or so years.

I was kind-of ignoring Taylor Swift until I heard some good things about Folklore and Evermore. I don't see me going back to her previous work, though I liked the song she did for the Hunger Games soundtrack with The Civil Wars, Safe And Sound. The one song that has me taking her more seriously now is The Last Great American Dynasty from Folklore, which is a bit of a sleeper. It's kind-of laid-back, understated, but is also a fat middle finger to her critics.

I enjoyed Taylor's NYU speech. I'm delighted for her achievement! On another note, I'm obsessed with right where you left me at the moment! I've always enjoyed it but I'm in awe at how great and emotionally impactful (to me) that song is.

No worries about the reply! Yesterday she seemed to drop an Easter egg for 1989 (Taylor's Version) in a video of an award acceptance, where she walked past a sign that said '1989 Secret Sessions'. I doubt she'd release 1989 though because of the Shake It Off lawsuit, it would be a bad look for her to basically say she doesn't care about the case and that she'll make money off the song anyway. The lawsuit is planned for November. She can't release Speak Now (Taylor's Version) either because her trademark for 'Speak Now' expired and OnePlus applied for it a week after Taylor's trademark expired. 'Speak Now (Taylor's Version)' is considered to be too similar to 'Speak Now' and so was rejected. There seems to be two applications to be resolved - one was due to expire on May 30th but was extended for another 6 months while the other expires on July 26th. The implication of this is that while she technically can release the album, she can't advertise or do promotion for it. Debut is the only option but surely she'll save it for last. She seems to be stuck at the moment, we've just passed the 1 year anniversary of the Red TV announcement.

There were rumours of a tour next year, let's hope they come to fruition! I'm excited for Carolina too!

I'd say she'll win, it's a silly lawsuit. 'Players gonna play' is the most generic phrase ever and is found in multiple songs!

I'm excited for Carolina too! I've only listened to the first snippet because I'd rather keep it a mystery for excitement.

New album announced overnight at the VMA's.

Released on October 21st. "Midnights"

I'm not feeling this album so far to be honest, need more time. The deluxe tracks are much better in my opinion so it's madness to me that they're just bonus songs rather than the actual album.

Brilliant song I only heard a few day ago. I’ve been listening to it a lot in last few days.
