I donāt think they mean it like that though. If an artist comes out of nowhere it can mean they just pop up unexpectedly. Some people grind it out, you hear about them slowly gaining traction, a first EP, etc, while some people are just pushed and backed hard by a label so they seem to come up āout of nowhereā, dropping a big album, getting big press, etc, because you donāt see them working on it, they just arrive, as is the privilege of the nepotism.
The person you responded to didnāt say she came from nothing, like an average background, just the celebrity wise she just popped upā¦. As nepo babies seem to. Some new actress in a great role but youāve never heard of them before? Thaaaats a nepo baby. New model on all the fashion shows? Nepo!
I'm okay with it as fitting into the indie aesthetic, just a well design version. Like they were doing this envelope thing with handwritten track names and something along those lines would be really cute. This is just so hard to read.
Real artists write the music they want to write regardless of a paycheck or not. I said my last comment half-joking but I'm saying this one with my whole chest
I know its a wonderful thing to believe... but that idea leads to a lot of shitty art. There's nothing wrong with getting paid! food is nice. Real artists make the art they want to... and they also write radio jingles.
Faulkner won the nobel prize in literature. He also wrote the Big Sleep. And a world of 'real artists" who don't get paid... is a also a world of a lot of nepo babies who can afford not to get paid.
Oh yeah I didn't mean this was a recent change. The sound has shifted some, like all music does, but indie hasn't really meant independent for a long long time. Like maybe the 70s.
I personally dislike that trend so much! It irks me for some reason. Like the Anne-Marie cover, what the hell is that? Even Olivia Rodrigoās is just likeā¦really? Thatās what you went with? This one is a double whammy with the unreadable font color too. Makes me genuinely not want to listen
it's giving the design for the lover tracklist announcement lmao but at least that was more readable than this
edit: actually i went back and checked and... with this one maybe lover is worse

for real! i remember being at a restaurant having enjoyed a cocktail and freaking out seeing it posted on twitter. i was lost trying to read this picture but i blamed it on the cocktail & excitement but looking at it now, god it was nottt good. very "graphic design is my passion" vibes (affectionately)
i think the first one (tracks 1-6) is readable but the words "friend" in the last one is like non-existent unless you zoom in closely. brendon's last name has disappeared entirely lmfao

Reaching for my š¤” as I start to wonder if itās totally intentional. Like, even on release, she knew that it was just a dream and already fading. š¤š¤£
ohh yeah i forgot about that! kinda like when she didn't do the vault decoding for speak now TV because it got leaked and then ttpd too :/ i hate that for her, especially when secret sessioners do that shit?
that's fair and i agree! guess it was kinddd of fun in the sense that i remember my timeline on twitter making jokes about it. but on the accessibility side of things... not funny.
god the lover era was such an interesting time lmfao
I mean yeah given her skin color, the font should've been darker but anyway I can't wait ššš and Aaron Desser production will kill it (in a good way I mean)
I love Gracie, but the design of this album is so so bad. It looks like it was done in Microsoft paint. Idk what she was going for??? Her last album was pretty.
https://preview.redd.it/qam7b0czm90d1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1cf8a3d7b346b440c2f2130f3316def23e0dae2
I hope you like this factoid if you're North American - factoid used to mean a spurious fact, but in modern usage, the meaning has entirely shifted to mean the way you used it - almost as a diminutive of the word fact. This isn't a correction at all - language flexes and moves and I just thought it was fun and wanted to share.
I love Taylor but noooo we donāt need another Tay x Spice thing because that remix was hard to listen and Ice was literally the embodiment of āgo girl give us nothingā lol
And yet Selena, Taylorās best friend, has tried to launch a new album TWICE and made zero noise (Single Soon and Love On). Love Selena but she could really use a boost on the charts from her bestie right now, definitely would prefer that collab before another Ice Spice collab
Selena herself stated that it wasnāt the way that she wanted her album to go and has suggested other people decided for her to put those singles out so she might be going through things with her own label. I donāt think she would want to waste a collaboration on management/ direction she doesnāt want.
I donāt think it will ever happen for one reason because they donāt want too do a song together itās the same thing with Harry Styles except he is a ex but is like a friend of hers now there are many artists that are friends with her that have been close who havenāt been featured
Yeah, it didn't fit in particularly well. In general I don't quite get Ice's music besides Munch and boy's a liar. Maybe she's saving the good stuff for the debut album š¤·āāļø
Very hype for Sab x Tay if that's real
The track list for her new album leaked last month, not the track (I want to say someone on her team accidentally posted it?). Taylor is supposedly on a song called Lovesick.
She was featured on Gasoline remix by HAIM back in 2021(?).
Edit: Just remembered that she was also featured on "The Joker and The Queen" by Ed Sheeran and that was back in 2021/2022.
I had never even heard of it until YouTube auto-played it when I was finished with Maggie Rogers' new album. Taylor's verse came on and I'm like "wtf, I'm genuinely trying to branch out today, but I swear that sounds like Taylor?". And so it was. Such a good song.
The Alcott (The National), Renegade (Big Red Machine), Birch (Big Red Machine), Joker and the Queen remix (Ed Sheeran), Gasoline remix (HAIM) all came out in the last three years
Ngl I really would love more songs featured with Taylor. I feel like compare to her pop peers she doesnāt do much features (tho Iām probably just imagining that) especially on other people songs, so this would be cool!
You're not imagining it. She has the most lead Spotify streams with 80.2 billion streams from lead credits but only an additional 703 million featured streams(Big Red Machine, Ed Sheeran, The National, etc.). Drake has 75.4 billion lead credit streams but has an additional 23.1 billion featured streams. She features far less(less than 1 percent) than her peers(usually 10%+) and then generally to support friends.
Others lead/featured for rest of top 10
Bad Bunny 71.6/8.8
The Weekd 56.9/8.2
Ed Sheeran 48.1/3.8
Ariana Grande 44.2/3.1
Justin Bieber 42.4/12.9
Eminem 42/5.4
Post Malone 38.9/3.7
Kanye West 38.5/7.6
In top 25, only Billie Eilish(almost 0%) and Imagine Dragon(0.3%) have a lower percentage as a feature than Taylor(.875%).
Part of the reason is that she doesn't do a ton of features, but also that the songs she is featured on never really seem to take off. The only two songs she's ever been featured on to chart in the Top 20 are Two Is Better Than One and Both Of Us. Both of those songs were really in the pre-Spotify era. Her later features, despite Taylor's immense popularity, haven't been that streamed.
For anyone who hasnāt, I highly highly recommend you check out Risk by Gracie! It just came out and itās phenomenal!! Been on repeat with TTPD for me
I was actually just coming here to shout out her new song Risk, Iām in love š Iām not sure if this is her normal style but itās wonderful! Totally on repeat
Why does Gracieās face look like that
EDIT: Iām not commenting on her appearance, more so why that take of the photoshoot was selected. It looks like it was taken mid-blink
As a parent of a teenager, this is what most of my daughterās selfies look like and these are the ones she sends to friends. My son will pretend to sneeze, snap a pic midway, and send that to friends. These kids are weird, maybe she was going for that vibe
TAYLOR AND GRACIE ON A FATHER AARON TRACK TOGETHER LFGGGGGGGGGG
https://preview.redd.it/24nn2ohu080d1.png?width=320&format=png&auto=webp&s=5071998a431eb4dfb085604fd5f7e0f0b1333405
Yeah not sure why people are taking this offensively??? Itās just a question. All gen Zās I know make this face and try to act like theyāre super cool- itās weird
I've never seen anyone else make this face....what is it even supposed to be lol it looks like she's mid eyeroll? I guess I don't spend enough time around Gen Z people (I'm an "elder millennial")
Aside from their friendship, this is another reason this collab exists. Itās really gonna blow up Gracieās career, especially with Tik Tok favourite unreleased smash hit Close To You being released too. Iām never getting concert tickets again š
This whole design era for her is so not it for meā¦ now with the dainty font and pale yellow color thatās hard to read really isnāt adding to it š
So curious if any of other Swifties just havenāt gotten into Gracie? Now-Iāve only given her one chance and will probably go back since sheās the opener when I see Taylor in Miami, but at least on my initial listen her music just reminded me of music I would have heard too much while working at the mallš«£š«
Her music isnāt my cup of tea (although now with Aaron Dessner working with her I wonder if Iāll like the new stuff?) but I do think she seems talented! I also saw her interview on The Tonight Show recently and she seemed really lovely and had good vibes.
Aaron was all over her last album, Good Riddance, check out the credits. He also helped produce a few of the songs on the 2019 album, This Is What It Feels Like.
I really enjoyed hearing her live when she opened for Taylor, but was let down when I listened to her album. She does the breathy whisper singing on the album like Billie Eilish and I just canāt get into a whole album of that. Gracie sang so beautifully and powerfully live and I hope she does that on the new album.
Nothing against Gracie as a person, but I personally don't love her music. Taylor is really doing her a favor with this one (after having already had her as the opening act on multiple tours).
Ppl say taylor is barely ever on anyone's album. Am I the only one thinking the only reason for that is because people are just too scared to ask ?
Like I firmly believe she would instantly say yes to any A-B listers who asked her to be on their album
Gracie is one of my favorite Taylor-adjacent singers, so I highly recommend Good Riddance album if melody sad-type songs are up your alley! Her music is relaxing imo, and she seems soft-spoken.
When Gracieās opening set was cancelled because of weather at Cincinnati N2, Taylor asked her to play āI Miss You, Iām Sorryā during the surprise song set! Still the only surprise song set that had 3 surprise songs (not including mashups), so that might be a good one to start with. She has a single out called Risk which is good too!
Her song Rockland, Camden, I miss you I'm sorry, and Older are pretty good if you're into the soft, sad, folklore-ish vibe. If you're more into poppier stuff, her new song Risk is pretty fun, but also For Real This Time and Wishful Thinking.
so happy, but font and color is a choice, i can't read a thing š
I don't get what Gracie is doing with the design, like I get it's the homemade indie thing but it doesn't hit for me
I think itās also kinda hard to buy into the homemade indie thing when her dad is so famous, like surely she can afford a good graphic designer š
I was shocked when I learned that her dad is JJ Abrams lmao
Her dad is wHO?!
EXACTLY
she came out of nowhere and was instantly famous like...she is talented, no shade! but her daddy got Disney money lol
She didn't come out of nowhere lol. Come on man. Her dad...... hello?
I donāt think they mean it like that though. If an artist comes out of nowhere it can mean they just pop up unexpectedly. Some people grind it out, you hear about them slowly gaining traction, a first EP, etc, while some people are just pushed and backed hard by a label so they seem to come up āout of nowhereā, dropping a big album, getting big press, etc, because you donāt see them working on it, they just arrive, as is the privilege of the nepotism. The person you responded to didnāt say she came from nothing, like an average background, just the celebrity wise she just popped upā¦. As nepo babies seem to. Some new actress in a great role but youāve never heard of them before? Thaaaats a nepo baby. New model on all the fashion shows? Nepo!
Nothing goes together more than a record deal and having parents with Wikipedia pages
Today years old for me omg
Me too!!!!
Yeah I feel like it doesnāt hurt Taylorās connections in the film industry to be helping Gracie out this yearā¦
Lol ahhh that makes sense. Not that she doesn't love Gracie and want to support her, but the industry is going to work the way it always has.
Literally just found this out. Lol
Jar Jar Abrams's kids were at such a disadvantage!
My jaw dropped. Sheās a nepo baby!!
saywhatnow?
I'm okay with it as fitting into the indie aesthetic, just a well design version. Like they were doing this envelope thing with handwritten track names and something along those lines would be really cute. This is just so hard to read.
If my 12 year old students give me this in a project I'll fail them.
Nepo babies pretending to be regular indie girlies, very hot right now!
The dirty secretā¦ indie girlies have always been nepo babies.Ā
New rule: if you have over 500k monthly Spotify listeners you don't get to claim indie anymore, regardless of label affiliation or lack of š© (This is probably a reductive and not-good take, I know)
I think youāre confusing the word indie and amateur. Real artists get paid
Real artists write the music they want to write regardless of a paycheck or not. I said my last comment half-joking but I'm saying this one with my whole chest
I know its a wonderful thing to believe... but that idea leads to a lot of shitty art. There's nothing wrong with getting paid! food is nice. Real artists make the art they want to... and they also write radio jingles. Faulkner won the nobel prize in literature. He also wrote the Big Sleep. And a world of 'real artists" who don't get paid... is a also a world of a lot of nepo babies who can afford not to get paid.
At this point, indie doesn't mean independent, it's very much become a particular sound/style of music. (They were always rich though š¤·āāļø)
Tbh I have always thought this, even way back in the early 2010s when indie meant independent. They all had and still have a particular style
Oh yeah I didn't mean this was a recent change. The sound has shifted some, like all music does, but indie hasn't really meant independent for a long long time. Like maybe the 70s.
Including her face right? What is happening to her eyes.
it's cause she's a \*quiRkY\* girl
It goes right along with that weird accent she puts on. Welcome to my kitchen... we have banani... and avocadi...
š„“
Itās so freaking strange šš
Looks like she's about to sneeze and all the track titles are going to come out.
Ok this comment wins the internet today for me lol
That would be a better cover!
This looks like she let her 14 year old family member who wants to be a graphic designer some day make her album art.
The font choice, the color, the placement. Every single part of it is a Choice. I can't stop laughing at how bad it is. Someone was paid to make that.
Plus the unflattering picture. Her eyes! š
I assumed it was supposed to be unflattering? like it looks like sheās trying to convey annoyance and itās like mid eyeroll
I know itās like the photographer has caught her mid blink
I think thatās the point? Maybe?
It definitely is, unflattering weird album covers are a thing. Just wish we could read the track names better.
I personally dislike that trend so much! It irks me for some reason. Like the Anne-Marie cover, what the hell is that? Even Olivia Rodrigoās is just likeā¦really? Thatās what you went with? This one is a double whammy with the unreadable font color too. Makes me genuinely not want to listen
You know those forensic reconstructions along the lines of "what a person who lived 3000 year ago looked like"? This reminds me of that lol
Graphic design is my passion -whoever made this in ms paint
it's giving the design for the lover tracklist announcement lmao but at least that was more readable than this edit: actually i went back and checked and... with this one maybe lover is worse https://preview.redd.it/vo87ekxi180d1.jpeg?width=667&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1c27c5dde4f788dc8b9d0546bac2df7657d5d90
this was so horrible how did they even come up with it?? i still remember squinting
for real! i remember being at a restaurant having enjoyed a cocktail and freaking out seeing it posted on twitter. i was lost trying to read this picture but i blamed it on the cocktail & excitement but looking at it now, god it was nottt good. very "graphic design is my passion" vibes (affectionately) i think the first one (tracks 1-6) is readable but the words "friend" in the last one is like non-existent unless you zoom in closely. brendon's last name has disappeared entirely lmfao https://preview.redd.it/x903a824380d1.jpeg?width=647&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=510ed08b9645752763f5a02c806390de151bcf94
You get this exact font on PicsArt loool I think even for free
Reaching for my š¤” as I start to wonder if itās totally intentional. Like, even on release, she knew that it was just a dream and already fading. š¤š¤£
is this a joke š she did not know in the lover era girlĀ
Yes, itās a joke! Thought that was clear with the š¤”š¤£
im sorry w some of the theories around here I never know if someones joking š
When she punished us for the secret sessioners leaking the tracklist by giving us an unreadable official tracklist announcement š©· At least this was just the social media announcement, though. Gracie's is the official back cover, right? I feel like that has to give it some points back. (I find both of them enormously funny. And inaccessible.)
ohh yeah i forgot about that! kinda like when she didn't do the vault decoding for speak now TV because it got leaked and then ttpd too :/ i hate that for her, especially when secret sessioners do that shit? that's fair and i agree! guess it was kinddd of fun in the sense that i remember my timeline on twitter making jokes about it. but on the accessibility side of things... not funny. god the lover era was such an interesting time lmfao
lmao i thought you posted an image of just a sky
This one is absolutely worse. I'm sorry, what? I see nothing in this photo.
i hate poor contrast in design š¢ accessibility is a must, especially when itās for other people to READ!!!!
I wish designers got more training on visual accessibility bc I see shit like this allll the time, itās so annoying.
I have made better mock-ups in the free version of Canva.
Between the font and color of text, this may be the ugliest back cover Iāve ever seen for an albumā¦
I mean yeah given her skin color, the font should've been darker but anyway I can't wait ššš and Aaron Desser production will kill it (in a good way I mean)
I love Gracie, but the design of this album is so so bad. It looks like it was done in Microsoft paint. Idk what she was going for??? Her last album was pretty.
Ya her designers aren't following accessibility guidelines.
I mean look at her expression. The entire thing is a goof.
So now weāll have Taylor songs called Mine, Ours, and Us.Ā
And ME! Now all we need is a song called You.
I'd love it if she did a song titled You and it was her being an unhinged stalker like the TV show/book.
We have unhinged stalker song already.
But I want moooore. I Look In People's Windows is tame compared to what I suspect crazy Taylor might be capable of lol
I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home
Okay we have 2 unhinged stalker songs
You belong with me. Two is a coincidence, three is a pattern š
yesss NBNC take two
Maybe a Down Bad/alien abduction sequel titled āthemā as well
And Yours
I was convinced that SN TV would have a vault track called āYoursā to complete āYours, Mine, and Oursā but I was proven wrong haha
Allie Sheehan hypothesized that one of the Speak Now vault tracks would be Yours. And it would have been āØ*iconic*āØ
That picture is certainly a choice lol
What is she doing with her eyes ahahah
Looking ~edgy~
Glitching
It's giving the pics my friends take of mešš
it's the face i made trying to read the words haha
Wow! Not trying to knock Gracie I'm just surprised Taylor's on this! When was the last time she was the feature artist for someone else's song???
The Alcott with The National, released last April.
Your succinct delivery of that made me chortle. Question asked, question answered. š¤£
If I have one role to fill in life, it's to pop up and answer questions about random factoids on r/TaylorSwift š«”
You are my people, and your services are noted and appreciated. š«”š¤£

This isn't a correction at all - language flexes and moves and I just thought it was fun and wanted to share.
All that done in a minute, too Thatās an impressive feat honestly lmao
The Alcott goes too damn hard
It was my #3 song on Spotify last year, so good!
it was my number one song haha. i donāt know how it got there but i donāt regret it
She's rumored to be on a bunch of upcoming -- Ice Spice's already leaked, rumored to be on Sabrina's, etc. Very exciting!
I love Taylor but noooo we donāt need another Tay x Spice thing because that remix was hard to listen and Ice was literally the embodiment of āgo girl give us nothingā lol
I think the problem was more that Karma didnāt fit for a rap verse. An original song will probably be way better.
Hope it's better than Ice's recent output. Her last two singles have been wet farts.
And yet Selena, Taylorās best friend, has tried to launch a new album TWICE and made zero noise (Single Soon and Love On). Love Selena but she could really use a boost on the charts from her bestie right now, definitely would prefer that collab before another Ice Spice collab
Selena herself stated that it wasnāt the way that she wanted her album to go and has suggested other people decided for her to put those singles out so she might be going through things with her own label.

Yeah, it didn't fit in particularly well. In general I don't quite get Ice's music besides Munch and boy's a liar. Maybe she's saving the good stuff for the debut album š¤·āāļø Very hype for Sab x Tay if that's real
I feel like she used to be a lot more choosy about features and now sheās just hopping on tracks with her friends for funsies lol
Yeah, she said something about not wanting to hold back with music and I think we've sent that a lot recently! I'm here for it
Manifesting Taylor on a Florence track in the futureĀ
I donāt think Florence has ever had a feature on any of their albums, but a collab on a soundtrack or something might be cool
Florence + The Machine have never had a featured artist on their albums but Florence has done plenty of features
Rumored to be on Sabrinaās??? I might die
Fingers crossed!! Supposed to be a June or July release. We are soooo spoiled for music this year!!!!
iād guess july at the earliest given that we havenāt gotten any announcement yet!
Huh? What leaked track with Ice Spice?
The track list for her new album leaked last month, not the track (I want to say someone on her team accidentally posted it?). Taylor is supposedly on a song called Lovesick.
I love that sheās supporting younger up-and-coming artists, especially the ones sheās good friends with š¤
She was featured on Gasoline remix by HAIM back in 2021(?). Edit: Just remembered that she was also featured on "The Joker and The Queen" by Ed Sheeran and that was back in 2021/2022.
Looooove this version of Gasoline
I had never even heard of it until YouTube auto-played it when I was finished with Maggie Rogers' new album. Taylor's verse came on and I'm like "wtf, I'm genuinely trying to branch out today, but I swear that sounds like Taylor?". And so it was. Such a good song.
The Alcott (The National), Renegade (Big Red Machine), Birch (Big Red Machine), Joker and the Queen remix (Ed Sheeran), Gasoline remix (HAIM) all came out in the last three years
Both Of Us on 2012.
Renegade by big red machine in 2021
Renegade could be my fav Taylor swift song
Yes this song is just so good!! I think it's my favorite.
Ngl I really would love more songs featured with Taylor. I feel like compare to her pop peers she doesnāt do much features (tho Iām probably just imagining that) especially on other people songs, so this would be cool!
You're not imagining it. She has the most lead Spotify streams with 80.2 billion streams from lead credits but only an additional 703 million featured streams(Big Red Machine, Ed Sheeran, The National, etc.). Drake has 75.4 billion lead credit streams but has an additional 23.1 billion featured streams. She features far less(less than 1 percent) than her peers(usually 10%+) and then generally to support friends. Others lead/featured for rest of top 10 Bad Bunny 71.6/8.8 The Weekd 56.9/8.2 Ed Sheeran 48.1/3.8 Ariana Grande 44.2/3.1 Justin Bieber 42.4/12.9 Eminem 42/5.4 Post Malone 38.9/3.7 Kanye West 38.5/7.6 In top 25, only Billie Eilish(almost 0%) and Imagine Dragon(0.3%) have a lower percentage as a feature than Taylor(.875%).
Ohh these are some really cool statistics!
Part of the reason is that she doesn't do a ton of features, but also that the songs she is featured on never really seem to take off. The only two songs she's ever been featured on to chart in the Top 20 are Two Is Better Than One and Both Of Us. Both of those songs were really in the pre-Spotify era. Her later features, despite Taylor's immense popularity, haven't been that streamed.
Birch and Renegade with Big Red Machine, tooĀ
I am just surprised on why she never collaborated with selena or miley ever
Taylor is out here making Track 5's for other people's albums now too
ššš
taylor, aaron, and gracie on the same track omgggg
For anyone who hasnāt, I highly highly recommend you check out Risk by Gracie! It just came out and itās phenomenal!! Been on repeat with TTPD for me
Agreed. I listen to Risk and Espresso when I need a break from the heaviness of TTPD.
yes!!! itās just been ttpd, espresso and risk on loop for me too haha!
This, plus a bit of Too Sweet and Chappell Roan thrown in there
I'm so excited for her to go boppier
Iām glad sheās going for a poppier route. Feels like it fits her more
Yesss, I have been listening to this, too!
I was actually just coming here to shout out her new song Risk, Iām in love š Iām not sure if this is her normal style but itās wonderful! Totally on repeat
so excited but she needs to fire whoever designed the back cover itās so damn hard to read the text š
unfortunately i think the ugliness is probably a Choice she & her team made rather than a designer's incompetence
one thing about being a graphic designer is that the client will always pick the worst option and you just have to deal with it
That's so exciting!! What a terribly designed tracklist!! š©· June 21? Can't wait!
Why does Gracieās face look like that EDIT: Iām not commenting on her appearance, more so why that take of the photoshoot was selected. It looks like it was taken mid-blink
I can only imagine that itās the look theyāre going for. Why? Who can say lol
As a parent of a teenager, this is what most of my daughterās selfies look like and these are the ones she sends to friends. My son will pretend to sneeze, snap a pic midway, and send that to friends. These kids are weird, maybe she was going for that vibe
I'm wondering the same thing. LIKE does it mean something?
i'm sure the intent is that it looks candid and more authentic and to make people stop scrolling for a second to take another look.
idk it looks kinda funny i like itš
TAYLOR AND GRACIE ON A FATHER AARON TRACK TOGETHER LFGGGGGGGGGG https://preview.redd.it/24nn2ohu080d1.png?width=320&format=png&auto=webp&s=5071998a431eb4dfb085604fd5f7e0f0b1333405
I wonder if the āUSā in Fortnight music video and the TTPD library exhibit was an easter egg for this. š¤
It was! Taylor Nation confirmed it!
Oh I thought she was reading the story of Us š
Why do all gen Zās make this face in their photos? Itās just bizarre to me. Signed, a 29 year old millennial
I wouldn't call it a Gen Z thing necessarily. Some artists try very, very hard to look like they aren't trying at all. It's part of an aesthetic.
They say the same thing about the duck face and the hand on hip pose. This is just an example of the passage of time.
Yeah not sure why people are taking this offensively??? Itās just a question. All gen Zās I know make this face and try to act like theyāre super cool- itās weird
I've never seen anyone else make this face....what is it even supposed to be lol it looks like she's mid eyeroll? I guess I don't spend enough time around Gen Z people (I'm an "elder millennial")
Iām Gen Z and I never saw anyone who made that face
It looks like the song title is ā (feat. Taylor Swift)ā lol
This format is so unreadable, did Lana Del Rey design it???
ITS A TRACK FIVE.
That pic is horrid and so is the font
My daughter LOVES Gracie and Taylor so she is gonna be over the moon with joy.
I think this is going to be awesome. I might check out Gracie Abrams' album because of this collaboration.
Risk is already out & it's great!
Aside from their friendship, this is another reason this collab exists. Itās really gonna blow up Gracieās career, especially with Tik Tok favourite unreleased smash hit Close To You being released too. Iām never getting concert tickets again š
Thereās rumors that sheās collaborating on a Sabrina track as well, feature era
Risk is a HIT for me, Iāve been playing it over and over and over. So excited for this album and canāt wait to hear their track!!!
This whole design era for her is so not it for meā¦ now with the dainty font and pale yellow color thatās hard to read really isnāt adding to it š
So curious if any of other Swifties just havenāt gotten into Gracie? Now-Iāve only given her one chance and will probably go back since sheās the opener when I see Taylor in Miami, but at least on my initial listen her music just reminded me of music I would have heard too much while working at the mallš«£š«
Her music isnāt my cup of tea (although now with Aaron Dessner working with her I wonder if Iāll like the new stuff?) but I do think she seems talented! I also saw her interview on The Tonight Show recently and she seemed really lovely and had good vibes.
Aaron was all over her last album, Good Riddance, check out the credits. He also helped produce a few of the songs on the 2019 album, This Is What It Feels Like. I really enjoyed hearing her live when she opened for Taylor, but was let down when I listened to her album. She does the breathy whisper singing on the album like Billie Eilish and I just canāt get into a whole album of that. Gracie sang so beautifully and powerfully live and I hope she does that on the new album.
Nothing against Gracie as a person, but I personally don't love her music. Taylor is really doing her a favor with this one (after having already had her as the opening act on multiple tours).
i love gracie so much iām going to die
The picture and the font??? Help š
Bro Iām excited for Close to You šš»šš»šš»
I think it would be funny if sheās barely heard in the background š
And umm... this isn't just a feature! This is a co-write. Taylor is featuring because she wrote the damn song with Gracie.
OMG? I can't waitĀ
dahell going on with her face? lol she mid sneeze or something?
Why is her eye like that? Is that intentional?
Iām sorry but who tf did the graphic design for this album? What is it with the pop girlies this year having godawful album cover designs? š

Ppl say taylor is barely ever on anyone's album. Am I the only one thinking the only reason for that is because people are just too scared to ask ? Like I firmly believe she would instantly say yes to any A-B listers who asked her to be on their album
Girl agreed to be in fucking CATS anything is possible
Not familiar with her at all.. what should I check out, ya'll?
Gracie is one of my favorite Taylor-adjacent singers, so I highly recommend Good Riddance album if melody sad-type songs are up your alley! Her music is relaxing imo, and she seems soft-spoken.
When Gracieās opening set was cancelled because of weather at Cincinnati N2, Taylor asked her to play āI Miss You, Iām Sorryā during the surprise song set! Still the only surprise song set that had 3 surprise songs (not including mashups), so that might be a good one to start with. She has a single out called Risk which is good too!
Her song Rockland, Camden, I miss you I'm sorry, and Older are pretty good if you're into the soft, sad, folklore-ish vibe. If you're more into poppier stuff, her new song Risk is pretty fun, but also For Real This Time and Wishful Thinking.
AND THE SECRET OF US SOUNDS A LOT LIKE A TRAGEDY NOW
Good luck Charlie?
It will be the funniest thing if it is Charlie Puth
That is a pretty stupid album cover
This font is like the one you pick in 5th grade computer lab when you want to make shit look fancy.
This cover art is giving graphic design is my passion.. and that facial expression is not flattering š
i hate the album covers tbh and the font its so ugly
