[Smithy]

I hope it’s not country bumpkin ****e

[Morgan.]

There are 8 different covers so the cd’s and vinyls will be collectibles.

[Smithy]

Suppose that’s one way to increase sales :laugh:

[Samm]

i love the dark mysterious visuals omg

[Smithy]

Single called Cardigan, MV drops tonight

[Morgan.]

Single called Cardigan, MV drops tonight

She’s also releasing a cardigan as merch and that mother****er is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen

[Morgan.]

She really said ‘**** One Direction’

[Morgan.]

Was gonna buy a vinyl but not with £17 shipping ffs

Does sis really not have a UK/EU store by Album 8

[Samm]

fkdkdkd I forgot she’s releasing this on 1d’s 10 year anniversary. love my shady bitch

[Saph]

not cardigan :skull:

[Morgan.]

The engineer behind Norman ****ing Rockwell by Lana has been credited on folklore

[Smithy]

This is gonna be her most mature album and the gays will hate it I’m calling it now

[Shaun]

very excited for the year's biggest 6/10 release!

[Morgan.]

This is gonna be her most mature album and the gays will hate it I’m calling it now

Yeah it’s gonna be the complete opposite of Lover lmao

[DouglasS]

I feel like the marketing of a suprise album only really works if there’s been 2+ years since the last release making it largely desired for. It’s not been a year since her last I believe? Probably would have been better to announce it in advance for pre-orders as it’s not been long enough for a surprise release

[Marsh.]

I don't think she cares. It wasn't originally planned. Sounds like a quarantine project she just wants to release.

[Tom4784]

Lover had it's moments but it was too filler heavy and Reputation was awful. I'll give it a listen but I don't suspect I'll be too keen on it.

[Morgan.]

Judging by the featured artists, writers, producers etc it seems she’s heading for an indie pop/rock vibe with many speculating a Hozier-style sound.

[Smithy]

I don't think she cares. It wasn't originally planned. Sounds like a quarantine project she just wants to release.

I think it was planned for later in the summer, theyve brought the album forward because billboard had changed the rules regarding bundles and shipping dates for merch in order to count as sales

[Jarrod]

Here for it

[Marsh.]

Oh maybe she does care. Bloody shameless these people.

[Daniel.]

Terrible.

[Brother Leon]

Taylor Swift is still a thing in 2020? :laugh:

[JerseyWins]

She's hit or miss for me but I'm actually pretty excited to hear it?

[Ross.]

:joker:

I think Kanye is releasing tomorrow as well? :skull:

[JerseyWins]

:joker:

I think Kanye is releasing tomorrow as well? :skull:
Now that'll really outsell :clap1:

[LukeB]

I don’t think this would be anything like 1989/reputation/lover or country i think it might be like safe & sound something similar to that

[Smithy]

I don’t think this would be anything like 1989/reputation/lover or country i think it might be like safe & sound something similar to that

I’m imagining a mixture of safe & sound (which I LOVED) and The Archer (which I could leave tbh)

[MB.]

I'm expecting more of a Soon You'll Get Better vibe than The Archer tbh

[Jarrod]

I can't see this being a mainstream album at all - it won't have the attention, promo, tour etc. It seems like this is more of a passion project and something that was put together because of the pandemic, but even still - so ready for it

[Morgan.]

Taylor Swift is still a thing in 2020? :laugh:

Go back to obsessing over that ****ty cop car tik tok track luv :hehe: xx

[Daniel.]

Imagine liking her music

[Jarrod]

Imagine liking her music

imagine caring enough about her to comment in a thread about her

[Marsh.]

:joker:

I think Kanye is releasing tomorrow as well? :skull:

Releasing himself?

[armand.kay]

country Taylor yup! i won!

[Smithy]

I can't see this being a mainstream album at all - it won't have the attention, promo, tour etc. It seems like this is more of a passion project and something that was put together because of the pandemic, but even still - so ready for it

Chile releasing 20 versions of an album makes it a mainstream project

[Jarrod]

I'm shook - the album is absolutely stunning. It's raw and emotional and each song follows the previous one perfectly.

5* review from The Guardian as well https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jul/24/taylor-swift-folklore-review-bombastic-pop-makes-way-for-emotional-acuity

[JerseyWins]

Welp at least "the last great american dynasty" was really good

Other than that..... YIKES!

[Smithy]

The album is exactly what I was expecting

[DouglasS]

Taylor Swift is still a thing in 2020? :laugh:

She was literally the biggest selling artist of last year (2019) :skull:
It’s like asking if Ed Sheeran is still a thing the year following his albums.

[Morgan.]

Wow, I still have two songs left, but this album :clap1:

[DouglasS]

And she doesn’t need to use Ariana Grande to sell her album :clap1:

[Morgan.]

1. August
2. Betty
3. My Tears Ricochet
4. Mirrorball
5. The Last Great American Dynasty
6. The 1
7. Hoax
8. Invisible String
9. Mad Woman
10. This Is Me Trying
11. Cardigan
12. Illicit Affairs
13. Peace
14. Exile
15. Seven
16. Epiphany

[Morgan.]

And she doesn’t need to use Ariana Grande to sell her album :clap1:

People don’t buy a whole album just because Ariana Grande is on one of the songs :clap1:

[Jake.]

You would have thought that this would have been obvious but apparently not :clap1:

[Samm]

Pitting women together in 2020, what was it taylor said in her previous record? we see you, over there on the internet, comparing all the girls who are killing it, but we figured you out, we all know now, we all got crowns, You need to calm down? :clap1:

[DouglasS]

People don’t buy a whole album just because Ariana Grande is on one of the songs :clap1:

I mean compare Her lead singles performance with the song with Ariana Grande singing lead. People do buy music/album based on the singles

Wow people fuming over Ariana selling Lady GoGos album

[Morgan.]

Yes, that song performed well, but Ariana was only on one song. I can guarantee you nobody bought the album for the ariana song. Stupid Love was still a Top 5 hit and is silver certified (the same certification as Rain on Me so your point is .....?) as well has being her first UK top 5 since Born This Way (excluding ASIB tracks) so your point really is invalid because like it or not this era has been huge for her and secured her back into the mainstream, particularly for the UK.

She’s also heading out on a Stadium Tour, Ariana is still in arenas :shrug:

[Jake.]

So by that logic I’m guessing people bought Chromatica after listening to RoM, under the assumption that Ariana would feature on every track? :think:

Makes sense!

[DouglasS]

So by that logic I’m guessing people bought Chromatica after listening to RoM, under the assumption that Ariana would feature on every track? :think:

My neighbour thought it was a joint project and she was deeply disappointed after spending her money

The way gaga has that huge impact she’s a talking point on a taylor swift thread!

[DouglasS]

:hehe:

Huge impact? Isn’t her album already out the top 20 in US (The biggest market) and it’s only been a month :skull:

Anyway back to Taylor Saift I listened to the album and it seems good to me, I liked the last great American dynasty

[Morgan.]

My neighbour thought it was a joint project and she was deeply disappointed after spending her money

You’d be less annoying if you weren’t full of ****

[Nicky91]

ew just had listened to 2 songs, hoax & cardigan


dull dull dull


doesn't even reach the Heights of 1989 for me


and this album in this year doesn't even come close to the perfection that is Future Nostalgia by Queen Dua, who outranks her music wise, by far but dua has far more experience already so

[Morgan.]

You tell me :shrug: you’re the one following her career and a big fan otherwise you wouldn’t talk about her a lot. This is a taylor swift album thread where people discuss her album...gaga/ariana have no relevance to the album because they are not featured on it. If you want to compare women and do pop wars check out twitter full of teenagers to do it with.

[Nicky91]

emotionless, lifeless trash music equals Taylor's music scene of last few years, and again in this rubbish album

[Jake.]

You’d be less annoying if you weren’t full of ****

Why would anybody think it was a joint project? :skull:

The reaching

[Smithy]

And she doesn’t need to use Ariana Grande to sell her album :clap1:

Ah yes I too buy an entire album as opposed to a single

[LukeB]

Teenagers these days

It’s rude to call members like Smithy etc teenagers when I believe they’re not? He and others might not be happy with that comment you’ve made :shrug:

I didn’t even talk about Lady Gaga, I was talking about Taylor Swift and her marketing of the album, and also stating she isn’t following lead of others by using featuring artists on albums (aka not using Ariana Grande to sell albums, which many people seem to be doing at the moment). I only checked those statistics on the response of you mentioning Lady Gaga and saying she was having a huge impact, and after checking I guess she isn’t. Anyway let’s turn the thread back to Taylor Swift :)

[Smithy]

Imagine being in your 20’s trolling a dead big brother forum for enjoyment I mean girls, be nice to her! She clearly has it hard at home

[Nicky91]

LOL, Taylor born with a golden spoon in her mouth, if it wasn't for her super rich parents she would not be famous right now

never had it hard at home, at all :joker:

I’m not a swift fan, I’ll perch the album later to see if she’s still trash

I've only heard "betty" and it's so nice... reminds me of her older music.

What's the album like as a whole?? Similar to that or more pop ish?

[Morgan.]

Its all on that chill indie-pop level

[Morgan.]

Betty is probably the most poppy/upbeat of the album

[Barry.]

Not a fan of hers but I loved safe and sound so if it's like that I might give her a listen.

[caprimint]

Just gave the full album a quick listen now

I quite like "august" and "the last great american dynasty" too but I wouldn't listen to them out of choice :shrug: Only "betty" is the real standout of the album tbh

The rest are boring. If you heard a 20 second clip of any of the others it could all be the same song :unsure:

[Tom4784]

Why does MM&I try to make every topic about his rather irrational hatred of Gaga?

I’ve given this a couple more listens and some of the songs have grown on me. The 1 is my fave, absolutely gorgeous, also like mad woman, epiphany, betty and whichever one she sings about an axe icr the name

[Saph]

I really like this, its SO much better than that tacky one from last year

[Tom4784]

I thought it was decent, one of her better albums.

[JerseyWins]

The great American one was best & Betty was pretty good too. I saved 4-5 songs (I think cardigan too) but great american was the main one I truly enjoyed listening to :clap1:

Bad overall but way better than Gags

[Saph]

you can tell its the same producer from Norman F Rockwell, the sound and lyrics are very similar

[Morgan.]

A valued opinion :clap1:

[DouglasS]

Folklore has had the biggest ever Spotify debut by a female artist ever. She achieved it by over 10M streams. It is also not obviously the biggest ever Spotify release of 2020 females, dethroning Chromatica by almost doubling it.

Folklore - 80M
Chromatica - 45M

Wow the comparison is crazy, i guess it kinda shows there have been no big female releases for 2020 yet? Although Adele is likely to come out at some point

[Brother Leon]

Dua and Gaga’s albums are both better than this. Let’s keep it 100.

[DouglasS]

Dua and Taylor are both universally acclaimed which is good for them and their fans :clap1:

because the taylor fanbase are similar trolls are kpop fandom who want to stream it over and over and over

this says nothing


Adele doesn't care about quantity trash, she cares about quality music and quality music is difficult to make so it takes a lot of time

''jealous'' lmao i am not jealous at this predictable bitch

only thing what i liked was 1989, but that was before she got blinded by all the money, success coming from mainstream generic *****


folklore is mainstream generic lifeless emotionless trash


my own opinion and it isn't out of jealousy

[DouglasS]

Wow, Gaga really lives in your mind rent free, huh?

Exactly the same comparisons have been used in GaGus Threads, when it was beloved she would overtake Taylor Swift (but she failed to do so). Smithy thinks the comparison is relevant also, and so if you have an issue with it take. Up with him.

Just for comparison, Lovers reduced figures were 38M and the final figures were 54M :fan:

But I took the infomation from an article source anyway!

[Smithy]

the ignore list really is invaluable, folks

Tea!

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

How i’m feeling now had 115M spotify debut so idk what you’re all on about

[DouglasS]

Taylor swift has sold 1.3million copies of folklore in her first 24 hours, breaking the worldwide global record from herself. This is despite physical copies not even being in stores. She sold more in 1 day digitally than leading artists do in a week/ 2 weeks in total.

She has outsold Chromatica in a day amongst other leading artists albums

1287963786842968065

Pretty much shows that the reason this came out suddenly wasn’t because it was some spontaneous Self Isolation project, but because the team had to hurry and release before the billboard rules changed soon. Hey. Get your coins I guess. Hopefully Rockstar stays strong where it deserves though.

Thanks for this, I love falling asleep to people's opinions https://i.imgur.com/6ClNhHV.png

[MTVN]

Just listened to this through and Betty is a major tune. August also very good

There's a lot of good stuff on the album but I do think it's overly long and some of the songs are quite samey. Also all very serious and mellow, nothing upbeat in there really despite the length

[Shaun]

May I kindly direct all of you to the album review thread IMMEDIATELY

It’s weird how obsessed you are with chromatica that you’d still be reading through reviews of it almost 3 months after its release. I think maybe you should get a life

IA its a good album and I enjoyed listening but its not the best album of the year, let alone of all time like some are making out :skull:

[Nicky91]

it does grow slightly on me, but that's maybe now more because i ain't expecting any bops anymore :laugh:

most of the songs do have the same cuteness, sweet vibes what i liked on 1989 ''Wildest Dreams'' one of my fave songs of that album


you can say ''told you so Nicky has done a u-turn'' but no i just do not hate it anymore, and i never hated Taylor tbh, i mean i can't since i do like her early years + 1989

pretty much shows that the reason this came out suddenly wasn’t because it was some spontaneous self isolation project, but because the team had to hurry and release before the billboard rules changed soon. Hey. Get your coins i guess. Hopefully rockstar stays strong where it deserves though.

These Billboard rule changes can’t come soon enough. Pushing the most boring song on the album too smh :shrug:

Regardless of the singles mix the album sells, sells more than anyone’s faves have this year :shrug:

I mean when you call her irrelevant also and she outsells your faves 2:1 and get bitter about it it’s a bit silly

[Brother Leon]

Taylor’s albums always sell well. I never said they don’t. It’s not really hard to do as a Pop Star With a big obsessive fanbase signed to and fully supported by Universal. Her last album still
Had no hits and even the Grammys couldn’t nominate her, never mind gift her another award.


If you so obsessed with numbers though, I Still can’t tell you the last hit she had though and that’s why her team are going all out to try and get one now before the rule changes, that’s the facts :shrug:


Not everyone can get organic hits though...

Look What You Made Me Do (2017) - #1 US multiple weeks, #1 UK multiple weeks
Gorgeous (2018) - US #13, UK #15
Me (2019) - US #2, UK #2
You need to calm down (2019) - charted #3 US, #5 UK
Lover (2019) - chatted #10 US, #14 UK


I don’t know what you class as hits but those were all top 15 in both US and U.K.? :shrug:

She has always been an albums artist (which is far more important than singles, promoting singles often don’t even make the label money it’s usually a cost to plug the album.. Taylor can plug the album without the cost of even needing to promote singles)


I mean I love the Weeknd but he will never have the career close to Taylor, I mean she is one of the biggest sellling acts of all time, her name is going to be up there with The Beatles, Michael Jackson and Madonna in terms of tales in 5 years time. She’s already 200M+ right now she’s Already 4/5 of the way there, and is the second best selling act of the past 30 years. Saying someone as huge as Taylor Swift is not able to get hits is a little off the mark imo. Folklore wasn’t made to create hits either, it’s a quarantine album project with her going indie

[Doogle]

He really said cardigan isn’t an organic hit in the making when its astronomical success is driven by people actually listening to it and not radio push lmao

All those numbers show me is a gradual decline considering she used to run this ****.

You don’t really believe it’s a quarantine album do you? It’s just an attempt to restore credibility and critical acclaim after her last album fell short in that regard and in terms of awards. Spontaneous Quarantine albums that are suddenly released aren’t released with 683838390 versions of Vinyls,Remixes, Merch and Dildo bundles ready to go just before Billboard changes the rules on them. :idc:

I’ll take my quote back. It’s an organic hit, I’ll give her that as it’s actually doing well enough on streaming. It’s not an Organic #1 though, which is what all these versions and remixes are blatantly trying to grab.

Yeah that’s gotten out of control this yr I think Taylor just wanted in before the charts get it under control

It’s boring seeing all the desperate attempts

[Morgan.]

Oh so people actually believed she was selling dildo’s. Interesting. Maybe you shouldn’t believe everything you read on the internet :)
