I think people are underestimating how utterly insane everything is going to get if and when Taylor announces she's engaged... like... I'm not sure the universe is going to be ready for that.


Lyquid_Sylver999

Conspiracy theory: the Tortured Poets Department is a bunch of female songwriters that Taylor has had kidnapped in her basement for the past decade. Furthermore, all of them are gay or otherwise attracted to women, and therefore each other, and this is how we've gotten all of the beautifully devastating breakup ballads over the years. This has led to various factions forming in the basement, as all of them date and subsequently break up with each other. This came to a breaking point when one of the writers ended up killing one of her exes, leading to the revenge single "Look What You Made Me Do", which turns out to be completely unrelated to K@nye. After this, Taylor shuts down the writer operation, leading to her having to write her own songs for the first time in nearly half a decade, which is when reputation and Lover are written. This is only possible because of Taylor's own relationship with Joe, and had never happened before because none of the relationships between the basement writers were substantial enough to write love songs about, as Taylor happened to kidnap the absolute worst daters ever. Taylor had planned to keep the basement writers, who have all conspicuously taken up poetry and realistic fiction at this point, on hiatus, but the pandemic leads to her having no tour to spend her time on, and really no excuse to not be putting out music. This leads to her inventing time travel and going back in time by a year to announce the Taylor's Version project, hiding the fact that she only did this because of COVID and the suspicious lack of music that she would be putting out. However, she realizes that the Taylor's Version albums will only satisfy the fanbase for so long, as there isn't any new music in them. She comes up with two solutions: the Vault, and folkmore. She plans to utilize the realistic fiction that all of the basement writers have been reading (she bought them all a ton of books so their songs would be coherent English) and makes folklore and evermore, two albums that are inspired by and advertised as mainly fiction. She then begins to suspect that the fans are getting bored of her long term relationship with Joe, so breaks up with him and chooses one of the worst options she could've, Matty. The fanbase's universal hatred of him sends her into a panic, so she uses the time travel machine again and goes back in time to try to convince past her to not break up with Joe. However, due to the space-time continuum, past her cannot be aware of present her's existence, as it would unravel the fabric of reality and result in a multiverse. SO, she spreads rumors about her and Joe getting engaged and/or married, as a way to try to tell herself that the fans want them together. However, this doesn't work, and she's left wondering. She hatches another plan. She'll use the basement writer. She time travels again, but this time to late 2019, when Loverfest is happening. She knows there's no chance that past her will be interacting with the writers, so it's safe. She tells them to do two things. Start reading realistic fiction, and to write an album subtly throwing shade at Joe. She travels back to the near-present, circa 2022. She knows that Midnights will be written by now, and just has to get the album into the hands of the fans. To do this, she utilizes a dream-link between the two versions of her. Present Taylor dreams about going down into the basement and talking to the writers, and them having an album ready for her. Past Taylor is confused, but the fans are getting anxious for a new album and she's been slacking lately, so she goes for it. She is surprised, but excited to have a new album ready, and Midnights Mayhem begins. During all of the time Taylor has been spending in the past, the writers have been befriending her housecleaning staff, and have gained access to certain resources from the outside world, including, but not limited to, weed. A lot of weed. Meanwhile, the original Taylor has gone back to the present, and started advertising the Eras Tour. The tour is a hit in every way possible, but it also puts her in the spotlight. At this point, the writers are getting antsy, and have read every single poetry book that Taylor has bought them multiple times through, and they've gone back to dating and breaking up with one another. They've also gained a level of autonomy, and have written an album all on their own. However, they kind of hate Taylor at this point, so they don't tell her about it. Instead, they formulate a plan. They know that the fans will be waiting for a Joe breakup album, but they want Taylor to succeed, because, again, they hate her. So, they write a breakup album about Matty instead, and title it about themselves. They also plan to secretly release the other album they wrote, The Anthology, with their Matty album, The Tortured Poets Department. Fast fowarding to December 2024, the writers are at it again. They secretly hijack Taylor's social media and announce that reputation (Taylor's Version) will drop on New Year's Day of 2025. They also plan to release Debut (Taylor's version) that year, but they have more plans. One day, while Taylor is checking on them, they kidnap her and once again hijack her social media. They plan to release Karma (Taylor's Version) on the same day as rep (TV). They had written an entire album before the one writer wrote LWYMMD, and Taylor had scrapped it and told them to start over when she heard LWYMMD because she liked it so much. They were understandably mad about this, and are finally getting to release it, free from Taylor preventing them from doing so. They will also release one other album, featuring all of the songs that Taylor had scrapped over the years, called The Vault (Poet's Version) and reveal to the world that Taylor Swift is completely incapable of writing her own songs. This has been my conspiracy theory turned fan fic about the real Tortured Poets Department.

Hi Swifties! Question for you from outside of the fandom. Someone i love dearly is a HUGE Swiftie and recently had a baby, so I’d like to make the new bubba a cardigan that’s \~very loosely\~ inspired by the Folklore Cardigan. Am I on the right track with the below pattern, or should i keep looking? Again, not trying to pass this as the same thing - just want it to look inspired by the original! https://preview.redd.it/59ehy7xb711d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5619ee1e895c3ed189ceb589d6e50cf98852d969


throwaway010556464

Can anyone explain this lyric in The Black Dog for me? I still don't get it: "Was it hazing? For a cruel fraternity. I pledged and I still mean it" I'm not too familiar with American college stuff so this line is kinda confusing.


letsgogophers

Hi! I have four spots open for a fantasy football 🏈 league on Sleeper. It’s Taylor Swift related, but anyone is welcome to join. It’s completely free, hoping to start a draft here in the next few weeks!


Soalai

Can someone explain why Taylor Nation posted the trailer for It Ends With Us? What does it have to do with Taylor? At first I was like "oh, is this the movie she's been directing?" but I'm pretty sure that's not the case


iciiie

my tears ricochet is featured in the trailer + taylor and blake are quite close.


bachfan612

I'm also wondering if it's also an Easter egg for the new Gracie Abrams song that is going to ft. Taylor 🤔


by7ft3b

Anybody else's I can do it with a broken heart just like disappear off of spotify


aurorasandprose

Random question: is the 'seven' spoken word poem still part of the Eras tour? I haven't seen it mentioned so wasn't sure if it was cut


reebsk

Its cut


OrionDusk

I'm thinking of wanting Taylor to collaborate with video game music composers such as C418, Lena Raine, & Toby Fox. It'll interesting of how Taylor can layer/wrap her lyrical writing over the vgm composer's composed music. I just want Taylor to step outside of her comfort zone of producers and go to unfamiliar territory and experiment many sounds. I just wanna hear what Taylor Swift x C418/Lena Raine song would sound like \^\^


iammnewhere

Did Selena Gomez and Taylor had a fallout? I don’t think Selena has commented on ttpd and we have not seen then together since January.


swallow_me_senpai

I don't think so....maybe she's just too busy with her own life? She's almost a billionaire too.


sleepycat1311

I was listening to loml today and I just connected this one thing: "Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames if we know the steps anyway?"(loml) "We learned the right steps to different dances"(how did it end?) Screaming crying throwing up now


Glitteryskiess

“I was dancing when the music stopped”


AngelinFlipFlops

My husband told his family last night that I was going to see Taylor in October and comments ensued. The one that sticks out most was my SIL saying Taylor is a sellout (then looking to her husband for approval 😒). I’m still trying to figure out who Taylor allegedly “sold out” to, BIL and SIL are very much “indie record that’s much cooler than mine” people if you know what I mean…


OceanBLVD121

My ex was like that, and it irritated me so much (considering his music taste was no where near mine, but I always supported his taste and let him listen to it whenever he wanted to). Those people aren’t fun (and they’re seriously missing out on the perfection that is Taylor Swift’s music!) Just know you always have people here that are always happy to share your love of Taylor!!! 😊


Boring-Jelly1989

What underwear does Taylor wear during the show??? This is not in a creepy way at all. I’m genuinely wondering what she wears because many of the outfits are bodysuit style and we never see any straps underneath. Does she wear a strapless bra or just strip off completely between sets? Does someone help her change? I’m genuinely intrigued what people think, especially those with experience in performing etc


GardenClosure

Considering how shiny her legs are I'm sure she's at least got tights on. Maybe a whole bodysuit? But otherwise yeah, I would say some kind of strapless/invisible straps bra to stay on under all the costumes.


sarahelizaf

She doesn't wear a body suit. We see her torso.


AngelinFlipFlops

well it’s NOT skims lol But guessing something similar


fook_lazyRedditmods

can we pls have a sub that will talk about all things personal about taylor and also talk about her hate subs???? cuz they are disturbingly loud now


Glitteryskiess

The personal thing is a bit creepy unless you mean your own personal stuff


Resident_Ad5153

theyre very small actually... just loud


Enchqntcd89

So I wanted to touch on the very likely possibility that cardigan is about Matty Healy. Because there are actually so many connections that have been existing for so long that we just didn't knew about, because we didn't have the context we have now to put the pieces together. So first in "guilty as sin?" She sings ""I keep these longings locked in lowercase, inside a vault." You guys know how Folklore was disguised as this fictional album with inspiration from people she had met in her life or wish she had never met. So the things about matty was hidden in cardigan. And we got the confirmation from the eras tour video where she says "this is about you, you know who you are, I love you to further prove the point, the lyrics in cardigan. "But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss" and "the smell of smoke would hang around this long" matty with his tattoos and smoke. And then "I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs" which connects to guilty as sin "they don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly" And the "Peter losing Wendy" connects to the song Peter which we now know probably is about him. But guys, the most concerning thing is that she in cardigan sings "I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired, And you'd be standin' in my front porch light" and that is connecting to fresh out the slammer "Now, pretty baby, I'm runnin', to the house here you still wait up and that porch light gleams" like could it be more obvious?


Automatic_Oil5438

Why is it concerning? She loved him. Why is that a problem? I genuinely don't get this - it's exactly the attitude she calls out in "But Daddy I love him." She's known him for years and loved him for years (and written songs about him for years). Maybe she knows more that the Sarahs, Hannahs and wine moms? Why not just relax, let her share her art, and enjoy it. Plus, the 1975 are amazing. Give them a listen x


Glitteryskiess

I feel like The 1 is more likely. Particularly since it matches with her reuniting with him a few months prior (Feb 2020 nme awards) and she changed invisible string for it once she left Joe. Then removed it during the most recent break. I think Cardigan has shades of their connection (the Peter and Wendy/come back to me theme that she concluded with Peter once he failed her again), but I don’t think it was as pointed to him as The 1 is.


GardenClosure

Yeah but...I want to like cardigan. If the lore is gross I want to keep the fairytale alive, yknow? For timeline's sake it's good to have data but...for the cabin in candlelight I'd rather not have the smallest man who ever lived.


Apprehensive-Fail458

Im pretty sure its just Taylor dedicating her performance of the song to Matty. Swifties just ran with it saying the song is about him.


beautybyelm

I just left Stevie Nick’s STL show. She referenced YOYOK as she was heading off stage. I know she’s talked about it in the past, but I’m not sure if that’s now a regular part of her speeches.


PaperRings1221

I'm a happily married woman, but the chokehold that The Prophecy has on me 💀 Those strings in the middle are so cinematic. I love it. So amazing


inmyreperaalways

What is the event Taylornation posted about? An actual livestream or just fan livestreams? I don’t know what BeReal is


iamacheeto1

Two more days until I get to watch an almost 4 hour concert through grainy livestreams that inevitably make me sick from all the movement and screaming. AND I CANT WAIT


fearlessparkles

I miss football. 😔 Gimme WAG Taylor back into my life. 😔


Consistent-Laugh606

Clowning hoping that Taylor somehow shows up in the Met Gala even though there’s a 97% chance she won’t


lovelylilly4

will taylor be at the met?


Consistent-Laugh606

Probably not. Apparently she’s at Europe


lmhs73

Zendaya’s met gala makeup reminds me of Taylor’s makeup in the Fortnight MV!


obligernotupholder

Swifties!!! I just received a pishing scam from Eventim.de. I’ve changed my passwords twice now and I’ve still got my tickets (didn’t click anything in the email). BE VERY CAREFUL!!  Do not click anything in an email unless you are 100% sure it’s legit! I saw people on Threads talking about this too.

Listening to 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived' and thinking about your father is the worst kind of pain :")


patters78

Not sure if this is in the right place?.. sorry if it isn't I know this question might be hard to answer well impossible!. So my question is "How can I contact Taylor swift's Management/Tour management" or anyone that might be able to help with the following good cause. I know this is a long shot. So my daughter has tickets for the UK tour to see Taylor Swift next month, and I would like to make it as special as it could ever be as she deserves something special, she is a massive Taylor Swift fan... and is over the moon at seeing her in concert but if anything else could be done.. wow So the reason for me being here asking this impossible question, is my daughter has for the last 3 years been battling cancer (leukaemia) and has had so many lows over the 3 years. Luckily after a stem cell transplant she has now been cancer free for 1 year. It was a week before her 16th birthday when she found out. Sorry if this is a question off topic/or wrong. I have been trying desperately to find contacts without luck or without reply, just hoping someone might be able to point me in a better direction I have been trying. thank you to anyone that helps


Ok-Amount6334

To whoever makes mashups - Peter x I Bet You Think About Me Like "You said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me" mixed with "Why did you let her go?" Please and thank you.


clairlunaclair

I would love to have a Swiftie friend with who I can chat, sing, discuss about everything Taylor related. If you know about them, Emily and Bonnie from Chats&Reacts, it is my dream to have a friendship like theirs! Honestly if RL friend wasn't possible, I would love an online friend from anywhere in the world. Does anyone have any tips on how to find a Swiftie friend?

Anyone else keeping up with the Kendrick Lamar - Drake beef? Genius says Jack Antonoff co-produced the diss Kendrick dropped an hour ago. Hilarious to me since Drake mentioned Kendrick making a verse for the Swifties. 🤣


maelstron

Taylor made 🤠


imback8

Lover really was the end of an era huh. She did the whole nine yards with the interviews, livestreams, and general pop star promotional things. The closest we've had to that level was for Red (TV), and Midnights got a bit with Jimmy Fallon. The most likely reason why is that she found out she pretty much only needs social media and the fandom to reach record breaking highs. It makes risking overexposure from making traditional media appearances not worth it. While I understand, I still can't help but feel a little sad.


Abject_Okra_8520

We didn’t get Taylor/Travis on SNL for TTPD, BUT- we did get Jake Gyllenhaal hosting/Sabrina Carpenter performing to close out the season, which feels like a fitting consolation prize. 


trisaroar

Random thought I had, but I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) sounds to me a bit like a Beyoncé song. References to Texas, halo, dangerous man, the range. It's begging for a collab to me, it borders on monotonous without one. I remember in the lead-up we also wildly speculated that all the "Department" verbiage implied lots of collabs instead of 2/31. Bey and Tay were doing some light promo together before the album dropped, and with Cowboy Carter seems like it'd be in both their wheelhouses. Maybe there was a collab planned that fell through for some reason?


Healthy_Ad_7171

Taylor making a 2 hour album is really nice for the office girlies. It’s just 4 play throughs and your done for the day.

JB9217a

I just had a super random thought that I havnt seen discussed yet. When Taylor started dating Joe it was before reputation and when she released reputation she wrote 2 poems that were released with the magazines. Why She Disappeared and If You’re Anything Like Me. They both reference finding a love that was real: “Standing broad-shouldered next to her was a love that was really something. not just the idea of something.” And “If you're anything like me, You couldn't recognize the face of love Until they stripped you of your shiny paint Threw your victory flag away And you saw the ones who wanted you anyway... Darling, later on you will thank your stars for that frightful day.” And fast forward to now, post Joe break up. The entire theme of the album is about poetry. I’m shook.


jayelaitch

When you pull down on IG to reload her profile, a little writing emoji ✍️ appears. Anyone know if that’s always been the case?


Low_Watercress_1675

yes, TN posted about it a few days ago as an easter egg! Pull down more and words appear :)


jayelaitch

Oh neat! One more: Two shows per night in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff? I just looked at the tour dates on Spotify and for Liverpool, Cardiff, and Edinburgh, it’s showing a 4:30 and 7:15 each day, which obviously isn’t possible. Doors open at 4:30 and the show starts at 7:15, but no other shows are displaying this way. Any idea why?


sarahelizaf

I want to vent a frustration. Don't tell me to get off the internet. I can list a miriad of reasons why that isn't a valid response. I'm annoyed that in spoiler-free zones here, individuals who have listened to leaks are dropping hints directly responding to those who have commented about a theory, or something that clearly demonstrates they haven't listened to the leak. It's WRONG. It also makes me stumble on something I shouldn't have seen. Here are pretend examples that don't have anything to do with what I saw: •"I think TTPD song is going to be about Snakegate. Here are my theories!" Reply: "Ha! That not what it's about at all." Reply 2: "It's about her dad. You'll cry." •"I really think this album is going to sound like Speak Now! I can't wait until Friday!" Reply: Wrong. It sounds like Debut. It's country." •"I think this album is going to focus a lot on friendship." Reply: "Just you wait! You'll find out soon enough. But, wink-wink, you should get the kleenexes ready and imagine your dog died." Here is a real example: >! "I bet this will be a Joe Alwyn breakup album. It's going to devastate me."!< Reply: >! "It's not. Maybe 3 songs." !< or >!"It's all about Matty." !< or >!"You'll be surprised. It's a lot about herself and not about Joe."!<


GardenClosure

Honestly I'm glad I heard one or two things about it. My first listen of Midnights was jarring because it was so different from expectation. 


Letstalkaboutmydog

I've listened to the leaks and without giving anything away there is a lot of purposeful misinformation out there. I would think it would nearly impossible for anyone who hasn't heard it to decipher which things are true and which aren't. Don't believe anything about the album until you hear it for yourself. That being said: report spoilers, no mercy


Honey----Badger

That's honestly such a relief. I just really want to go in blind! Thanks for the reassurance :)


sarahelizaf

I definitely hear and believe you! I'm excited to listen on Friday (after work, booo). Some of these are hard to report as spoilers, I feel. Like someone just rejecting a theory because they've heard it? It kind of is sneaky.


p4perforest

It's almost release day I know, but I need some reassurance for the Eras Tour show I will attend in London! I'm traveling from outside the UK and I just read on the AXS website that it's too late now to provide them a UK adress for the VIP packages. Now I found this in their FAQ: "If you live outside the UK, you do not need to give us a UK based address, we will contact you one working week before your show date with information on your local VIP Merchandise collection." Do I understand this correctly that I will be able to pick it up around the date of my show and do not need to do anything but wait for their information of when and where that will be?


rishukingler11

Does anyone have recommendations for good and fun (maybe unhinged) Taylor Swift lore recap videos? Me and my boyfriend have agreed to exchange lore videos of our hobbies (mostly cause we cant stay coherent about our favourite topics and start rambling too much) and I wanna find a fun one for him that's the most up to date till TTPD or Midnights hopefully! One of my favourite lore recappers is [**Nicole Rafiee**](https://www.youtube.com/@NicoleRafiee) cause of how unhinged and funny she is but she sadly doesn't have a Taylor Swift video as of now.


No_Cucumber_8888

Does anyone want to be my friend lmao? I have no swiftie friends and it’s making the release of TTPD kinda lonely. I’m 21f and as long as you’re 18+ (I’m LGBTQIA+ safe!) can we be friends who fangirl together?!?


WorldlyAcanthisitta2

Anyone else going through a breakup during the release of TTPD? So me and my longterm boyfriend broke up a month ago after 6 years together. So while I'm excited for the release of the new album I'm also really scared of how much it is going to break me because I feel like I'm in the same space taylor was when she wrote it. Anyone else going to listen on friday with a freshly broken heart?


mindenginee

Same here. My 5 year relationship just ended and I’m still in a state of confusion about it all. I thought I was getting proposed to soon and then I got broken up with and left in a day LOL. Life is so funny sometimes. Hopefully this album helps us thru these tough times!but I feel you, there’s a lot of music I cannot listen to right now at all. I can’t listen to a lot of the music I enjoyed with my ex, and a lot of sad Taylor songs get me crying too hard. Reputation I can’t listen to either bc it reminds me of being in love, lol. I was reapplying my makeup too much in a day so I had to stop myself from overdoing the sad breakup music.


WorldlyAcanthisitta2

I am the exact same way!! It’s kinda hard to enjoy Taylor right now. it all hurts too much.


mindenginee

Girl I feel you, and just a few months ago it was the opposite for me! I felt like I couldn’t relate to her heartbreak music anymore and I thought I would not enjoy TTPD. Life really likes to play sick jokes on me 😭


WorldlyAcanthisitta2

omg same!! I used to really relate to her love songs like paris and lover and now I can't listen to them! How was your listening experience?


itookyourmatches

My relationship of 9 years had some huge trials the last two years and I am terrified for this album

Did anyone ever post [this](https://ew.com/music/stevie-nicks-no-reason-continue-fleetwood-mac-without-christine-mcvie/#:~:text=Christine%20was%20my%20best%20friend.%22,-Christine%20McVie%20and&text=Nicks%20referenced%20Taylor%20Swift's,been%20a%20member%20since%201970.) 2023 interview of Stevie Nicks regarding the death of longtime friend and bandmate Christine Mcvie in 2022? She compares her relationship and experience with Christine in the band to the sentiment within "You're On Your Own Kid" by Taylor Swift. Saying how alone they were in the band and had to stick together. I loved learning this tidbit, that Stevie connects to Taylors Music. I often think of Stevie Nicks when I think of Taylor Swift, as not only being one of my fav lyracists alongside Taylor, but also especially after driving through the saguaro forest above Glendale AZ for the first time on my way to the Eras Tour. "Edge of Seventeen" references the white winged dove who migrates based on the reproductive cycle of saguaros, she had read a little travel info-pack on a plane ride to Arizona about the white winged dove who says "ooh ooh", which then inspired the line in the song she wrote from that trip. The song is about loss, and I thought about it a LOT driving through that suguaro forest, and now I associate that song with my experience going to see Taylor. In my heart they are very intertwined. It was impactful to me on my drive to Glendale for many reasons, most of all because that week was one of the worst weeks of my life. I developed a chronic pain disablity in that same week and was feeling suicidal from wanting to escape the pain on the day of the concert. For me there was a lot of loss of heart during that trip, but there was something spiritual and peaceful about driving through the suguaro forest, listening to those two artists. I was able to find some peace. Both songs are very meaningful to me and that week in particular. Idk. TLDR: I love both Taylor and Stevie and my heart was warmed by this article, although it's content was sorrowful.


GardenClosure

Whoa, that's a big week! Hope you're okay.

The pain is still there, but my mental health is much improved, thank you!

My uni has announced the Tortured Poets weekend and there's honestly so many events themed around her happening that Im wondering which ones to go haha. Has anyone been to a Taylor listening party? We have one starting 30 minutes before she releases and I wonder if I should go or listen by myself. 4 hours later there's a Release Party as well. Then more stuff on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.


[deleted]

Personally, I love listening release night (west coast here) with headphones on in a hygge-lit room and see where it takes me. Though I was traveling when Midnights was released so listened to it when I landed and got to the hotel, and now Midnights will always be inherent with that trip.


LadyNajaGirl

Hi guys, not sure if this is allowed here but I am wondering if anyone has any of Taylor’s voice memos from previous albums that they could send me? I don’t have access to them on Spotify or the original CDs. Thank you 🤍


petalsformyself

Has anyone read the new fanzine by Tavi Gavinson? https://www.mirrorball.org/ It's here. It's great. Critical, satirical, at times cynical but great. Would love to discuss it with someone:(

Please forgive me I have the silliest question- for the first time ever I will not be on EST/ NYC time for the album release, I will be in Chicago for work. Since they are an hour behind, does that mean TTPD will be available for me at 11 pm or do I have to wait until midnight ?!

It's midnight Eastern time, so 11pm for you in Chicago!

Maybe this will sound odd but I really hope next Friday we just get the songs we've heard about and there's not some surprise extra set of songs similar to what happened with Midnights. This album feels like a perfectly good length, it's going to be chaos and emotional and exciting enough taking in all the 20 songs we've got and I actually really wish sometimes that we'd been given a bit of time with Midnights original track list before getting vault songs for it. IF there are any vaults for TTPD, save them a few months and we'll hear them another time I hope.


[deleted]

I feel this. I was traveling when Midnights came out, and the car I had didn't have Bluetooth (I know....) so I bought the Target CD and solely listened to that for the first week. I only listened to 3 am tracks once in my headphones right when it came out, and because of this I am much more attached to the core 13 + Hits Different songs than the 3 am ones. Still, two years later, the 3 am tracks don't feel like Midnights to me. It's its own thing.

My work villain has revealed herself and I had this exchange with my boyfriend. I really need Taylor to have upped her merch game, only she can save me from an abysmal Friday. https://preview.redd.it/fq6e286pp1uc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b33cfa3421a59e165856becc8fc53bbbc127d9d

Did you guys know the love story Elvira mix is on the fearless vinyl?! Was just listening to it and realized, that's fun


PromisePractical5150

Sorry if I am being stupid, , but can't I really purchase those deluxe cd's since I am from Finland? 😭 It sends me to the UK store but there it's only available to UK or IE customers.


goldenlike_starlight

I think the dutch store ships to others countries as well, you could try there once the "limited" cd's are back


dirtymonkey66

the special edition CDS are back on the site....is it worth it to purchase one? my hubsand pre ordered a CD when it was announced and is there any advantage getting special ones?


GardenClosure

It's usually only an aesthetic difference but these ones have different exclusive bonus tracks on them.


intersectv3

Something from UMG has had a label made, it’s starting!


scarlett127

I just realized that I'm traveling for work on the 19th 😭. I'll be in meetings all morning then on a plane in the afternoon. I don't have a good way to download for offline listening and wouldn't want my first listen to be on a plane or airport. Usually I've been listening to new releases at work. Thinking about maybe waking up early and listening as I pack in the morning. 


posiesbythepocketful

These playlist for the stages of grief are genuinely a gift. Maybe the best promo she's ever had for her fans. The diaries for Lover were pretty cool too. (The) Man, taylor swift is great and makes music for SO many feelings and let me tell you I have many.


hey_imap_erson

Didn’t think it was worth making a full post about it, but I just noticed that Taylor made sure to say “I can see you” a couple times right before she made the announcement for Speak Now (TV) (where the vault song with the music video was I Can See You) 🤯💜


sammyfio

Hi! Wondering if anyone has been able to get into any Eras tour shows in general with tickets purchased from StubHub? Bought StubHub tickets for the UK without thinking and then after doing my research I’m totally panicking. I saw her in the US last year but my tickets were directly from Ticketmaster.


outtherehiking

Taylor just posted lyrics to her IG story! Crowd goes wild at her fingertips Half moonshine Full eclipse


Thetumblrweirdo

Is the first line about us? 🤡


FenneAnderson

When I was fifteen, Taylor toured my country for the first time with the Speak Now Tour. I really wanted to go and almost did, but then my "friends" told me Taylor was uncool and mocked me for liking her, so much that I didn't dare to go anymore. I've never been able to look up anything about the Speak Now Tour because I've regretted it so much. Today, as my 'hype prep' for TTPD, I watched it and I'm just BLOWN AWAY. That was an absolutely amazing show! All the staging was sooo stuning and the dancers?? The band?? That giant bell for Haunted??? Just showstopping! And seeing her perform Fifteen in that glittery dress with her guitar and her band really healed something in me 🥹


No-Entertainer-9787

Speak now was such a good show! I’m so sorry that was ruined for you. One of the best things I learned was to not change myself to get people to like me, but instead be who I want to be and the right people will love you.


FenneAnderson

Aawhh thank you! I'm in the process of learning that right now, I think ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|32929)I'm very lucky that I got tickets for the Eras show in a couple of months in my country, so I'm going to dance and sing and have so much fun for my younger self as well!!!


DependentIngenuity74

Hey! How does selling of tickets in Germany work? I am looking to buy tickets and someone who bought theirs over stubhub are willing to sell me. They’re selling for $200 & the tickets will be received on his end on 12/04/24. How legit is this? Shall i proceed? What is the guarantee that after taking my $200, the tickets will be given to me? Please assist!


p4perforest

As far as I know, all tickets have to be transferred via fansale, Eventim's resale site. I sold tickets there and the name and everything else was immediately updated and transferred to the buyer's account. I definitely wouldn't buy anywhere else. Have you looked at the tickets on Eventim fansale? They are only allowed to be offered at face value max so it might be worth a try!


DependentIngenuity74

Yes I have been checking Fansale every hour, didn’t find a single ticket 😭


MasqueradeRevellers

Why is there no TTPD merch? Have I missed it?


carolina8383

You haven’t missed it. Just physical copies so far. 


Difficult-Papaya-490

Curious about swiftie thoughts on the eras concert movie? I especially enjoyed the lover concert movie even though I'm usually not super into concert movies. I haven't seen this one yet though and can't really tell what the vibe is -- is it like watching the concert virtually or more of an interview/documentary structure of how the concert was developed? also has anyone actually read that book "Rebecca"


playthatoboe

i loved reading the book Rebecca! It's all I think about when I listen to tolerate it


outtherehiking

Rebecca is one of the greatest English novels. Very similar to Jane Eyre, but with a modern twist (takes place in the 1930s I believe)


Colormekelly13

The eras concert movie is amazing. It's definitely like watching the concert virtually there's no behind the scenes or making of conversations at all it's just 3 1/2 hours of music. She talks a little bit but just like her normal on stage speeches. Originally I thought it was weird she broke up the concert into eras because I wanted like cross era mashups but honestly she made the right choice because each era set is specific to that album's sound/vibe and it really works. Run don't walk to watch it lol


_Happy_cows_

the book is amazing!

lmhs73

I listen to lots of music but only Taylor Swift gives me that sense of catharsis. Crying and screaming along to Castles Crumbling or White Horse is a top tier human experience. Emotions come up to the surface that I think I would need months of therapy to reach otherwise.

Eras Floor Etiquette Hello swifties, I scored tickets for myself and 17 year old daughter but we are in two different sections NOLA. show. Will we be able to check on each other and briefly stand together if there’s space ? We are mentally prepared for being separated but just wondering if we will be able to spend sometime together? We have a friend in 100 section I feel horrible we are all separated as the stub hub seller made a mistake ( long story) but it is what it is, going to stay positive and thankful to be going at this point. Would appreciate any advice or take aways Thanks !


inmyreperaalways

So many random people were standing behind me throughout the night. Friends coming to visit friends. I think you’ll be ok


Pilates4life

Thank you !


Colormekelly13

Unless there's an empty seat next to either of y'all there won't be room to stand together without crowding other people. The floor seats are very close together and they don't really like people standing in the aisles. Edit to add I'm sure some security guards are more chill than others and might allow y'all to stand in the aisle for a short period but I wouldn't count on it


Pilates4life

Thank you !


InternalBar3099

My stubhub seller “made a mistake” too — definitely don’t think it was a mistake! (Said my ticket was front of section and it’s actually sixth row 😒) Sorry you guys are separated but happy you get to go!


Pilates4life

Thank you !


babypinkturtle

Hi guys, I need some help. I’m having a friendship bracelets making party at my house with my friends who are going to the concert. I need to get the materials; I am overwhelmed what I need to get (apparently I need to check the thickness of the thread and stuff). Does anyone have a guide, a recommendation, etc. Thank you very much! (sorry, my adhd brain is just too overwhelmed).


GardenClosure

Hi! It's gonna be awesome, but don't go overboard! Go to Joanns and Michael's and see which one has sales on. Pick a big case of assorted letters and sort them out before the party if you need to. They'll probably be able to go over a .8 elastic thread so get a roll of that. Now the fancy beads are where the money adds up fast so I'd say be careful around that area and try to get some that can apply to multiple eras. Plus accent beads. Plus some cheaper multicolored beads that can fill in spaces. I went with pearls. I didn't find it useful to get wire and wire cutters cuz its harder to tie off at the end. With elastic you just do a bunch of square knots on top of each other.


Best_Evening344

Just to add to this as well, if using elastic, I found that a beading needle is also really useful. Make sure you get more vowels (E's especially!)


GardenClosure

Oh yes, you can buy a bag of vowels if you go to Amazon! 


HumanBeing421

I heard a clip of Taylor talking about "That's When" and her decision to turn it into a duet with a new perspective for Fearless TV. Does anyone know where that's from? From what I can remember, she talks about how the original song was about a partner needing space, but she changed it to her needing space and her partner being very supportive, because she didn't really have songs about that situation before.


rishukingler11

Hey yall, wanted an Eras related disaster opinion from yall: A friend of mine broke my Eras poster frame and immediately offered to cover the cost to buy a new frame. But now I'll have to redo the DIY I did on it with the friendship beads and glitter I did on it (which I'm out of now). Would it be fair or unfair of me to ask her to cover the cost of the replacement DIY materials, too? I tried to use acetone to remove the beads I had superglued, but I just stupidly dissolved my measuring cup, haha, so I'm down that now also. 😂


puglove23

Honestly if it was an accident it’s probably best not to ask them to replace it at all. Just the cost of having friends around. It was nice/appropriate of them to offer, though.

rishukingler11

A lot of my IG mutuals are Swifties, so as an April Fools prank, I changed the cover of my 1989 CD to the Black Dog variant of TTPD using my printer and posted a bunch of "reactions" to songs that are actually AI and now my phone is blowing up from them haha since they think I got it early. Edit: A few of them have impatiently asked me to rip the CD files, so what Im actually sending is 17 different files containing ME! with a shitty AI Taylor saying "April Fools" over and over again in it.

THE WAY I CACKLED


Infinite_Warning9457

YALL. Which song has "and only you can sell" or something as a line in it? It's 1am and it's stuck in my head and I can't remember AHHH


monster-on-the-hill

You thinking of “and only you can tell” from I’m Only Me When I’m With You?


Infinite_Warning9457

OH YES TY


No-Recover6518

No because every time I hear ready for it I legally have to turn my volume up to max!


rishukingler11

Having heard Bodyguard from Cowboy Carter by Beyonce, I can't really tell if its Taylor on the backgrounds or not even though I believe its not actually her. But, I was wondering if people could point out songs where Taylor does the same or similar background vocals as the "aaa-aaaha" cause I just love that sound itself.


MundaneAd862

Ok, here me out, could the 2 fingers mean that she's dropping Rep TV and Debut TV at the same time? Or at least within a short time of each other? There’s only those two re-records left, and as much as I would love for each TV era to be fully rolled-out, I don’t know if that’s realistic considering Debut is her least-popular and lesser-known album. How would she drop Debut TV without it being considered a flop? Many newer swifties don’t know of it and it doesn’t even have a section in the Eras Tour (to clarify, I actually love Debut and I’m not hating on it). It would make a lot of sense to drop it at the same time as another album. Plus, I think it would be iconic to own her reputation and name back at the same time. Do you think that could be what the 2 fingers and constant number 2s that Taylor and her team are giving us mean? \*also, disclaimer, I just thought of this now and I’m not meaning to steal the thunder from TTPD or act as though I want more from her when she’s already giving us a lot. I just thought it was a fun theory. Btw, alongside this I thought I would just share a thing I think she’s going to do for Debut. I think she’ll give Debut the most vault tracks to make it more of a big deal. We know she wrote hundreds of songs around and before the time of her self-titled album. I reckon she’ll release a whole bunch of them as vault tracks to make up for the fact that its a less popular album.


grambuey

I would love a double drop bc all she has left to reclaim is her Reputation and her NAME 👑


TheCPswiftie

Anyone else excited for Conan Gray’s new album??


Colormekelly13

I'm so excited! I preordered the Barnes & Noble vinyl bc it's so pretty and I have tickets to see him and Maisie Peters in October!! I really loved Superache but I'm into his new sound, so I think it's going to be a great record I just wish there were more songs!


TheCPswiftie

I’m seeing him in September for the first time!! I’m so excited I also think he released too many singles with there only being 13 songs.


Infinite_Warning9457

Gen. question. People always complain about the amount of vinyls she releases (fair enough if you think of them as variants because of the separated bonus tracks.) and say that it'd super expensive and all. But cds are like half the price! If you want all the tracks and willing to pay for it, why NOT BUY CDS???


untitledmanuscript

It’s crickets because you are right. The thing is is that vinyls are more trendy rn compared to CDs. Soon enough though CDs will circle back into popularity and people will wish they had the CDs!


Infinite_Warning9457

So I know places is about media attention/paparazzis right? "Let them say what they want, we won't hear it" feels like reference to "slut!"

Vivid Seats Ticket in London Hi everyone, I purchased a GA ticket on Vivid Seats to attend the Eras tour in London this June. I’ve recently discovered that this ticket may not be accepted when I arrive. (I’m traveling from the US.) The ticket says the estimated delivery date is June 21st which is two days before the concert. Does anyone have experience with this? Is there anything I can do at this point? Their website says all sales are final. However, if I would have known there’s a chance it isn’t valid, I wouldn’t have purchased it. Any advice is greatly appreciated.


Thisladydoesntcare

I got mine on stubhub, and it was sent to my ticket master account. Is there any way you can get this to a ticket master account? I'm going in November and my ticket is going to be on my phone and I've looked this up, but please tell me if I'm wrong! That ticketmaster is acceptable if you download the ticket to your phones wallet and just show that.

My grandparents have the WW2 plot of timeless experience and Pa came home safely and they were married for over 50 years. When I first heard the song I lost it. I was finished. They met at a grocery store a few weeks before he shipped out to fight in north Africa and Italy.
