    First single "love story" was good, didn't like the second one ("you belong with me" or something) but can't really remember any of her songs since.

    Will fade into obscurity soon enough I feel

    Surely she could afford to buy it herself as the highest paid celebrity in 2019

    Scooter actually bought the whole Big Machine Label Group for 300m (or around that figure anyway I think). It wouldn't have sold for anywhere near that amount had Taylor's music been stripped out of it and sold to Taylor herself.


    Their (Scooter Brawn and Scott Borchetta) defence is that Taylor was offered her music and claimed that she was lying when she said that she wasn't.


    There's two flaws in that argument though. Firstly, she never claimed that she wasn't offered. In fact, she even states it clearly in her Tumblr post that she was offered. However (and this leads on to the second part), it was conditional on her signing a new deal with Big Machine despite her going out and seeing what else was out there, and there was in what is one of the biggest music labels out there in UMG in an offer that she simply couldn't turn down. Yet, BM did their best to hold her past music over her head in order to get her to re-sign with them.




    For the reason mentioned in the first paragraph though, I can understand why BM didn't want to sell Taylor's music separately as it would (I'm guessing) significantly devalue the rest of the BM portfolio.





    It's just the fact that it went to that other cock that's the most frustrating bit. :rolleyes:








    I may be slightly biased but I make absolutely no apologies for being so. :pac::)

    So......Taylor had one of her live Insta Chats tonight, and she only went and dropped a surprise single! :eek: :eek:


    It's very different from the first two, but so so beautiful. This album is getting better and better!!

    It'll be tickets to her "City of Lover" Concert in Paris on the 9th of September. :eek::eek:






    I never actually tune into 2fm but I guess I'll be glued to it on Monday! :pac::)

    I am in love with this album, there's two songs that aren't immediate favourites, but we'll deal with it cause for an 18 song album, 16 bangers is unreal.

    Oh please announce dates soon

    Her cover of the Phil Collins song on the recent bbc live lounge is absolutely beautiful. I’ve been a fan of her from the very start. I think she is the most perfect female to ever exist on this earth, looks, talent, confidence, even politically she never puts a foot wrong.

    There seems to be a lot of milestones reached for her previous albums this week, anyone have a favourite? I find it hard to choose between Lover, 1989, Red and Speak Now...depends on my mood! They’re all brilliant.
    She’s written a song with Andrew Lloyd Webber called Beautiful Ghosts for the Cats Movie...

    I'm a big Taylor Swift fan but I would be interested to hear, what are people's thoughts on this new album? It's a big departure for her into the alternative genre but nothing she hasn't done before crossing from Country to Pop, Synth Pop, etc.
    Have given it a few listens and think it's amazing - perfect lockdown album, along with the terrible weather today. You can really hear The National's influence on the album, as well as Jack Antonoff.

    Mad Woman :p

    Wow just found this thread today. I love Taylor Swift and her representation of authenticity, originality and refusal to prostitute herself out to appease the ‘industry’. I was just about to start a new thread based on her re-recordings...🀗

    I'm a massive Swiftie. Looking forward to the 9th April to listen to Fearless again. I'm avoiding all her Big Machine music so that I really get that "new album" feel all over again with thiee ones. :D:)

    (I highly approve of your username btw! :pac:)

    Absolutely, i love some of her vault songs from Fearless. It’s sad she has to re-record her life’s work but at least she’ll own it this way. Seems to be rumours of 1989 coming next..

    Called Broken Heart I think. Tbf, there's going to be 30 songs on Red (Taylor's Version) so it'll be one of the extra ones. :D:):)
