What are your thoughts about this new album so far?? Any predictions??
no singles on this album?
@@BadBoySuhaanshe'll probably release one or two before the album release
YESS. THE POETS ERA!!
❤❤
how do you think she will release the track names?? maybe on tour? or more like midnigths mayhem with me?
I also kept calling the album "Dead Poets Society", so out of curiosity I searched it up and...
Yes, the movie came out in 1989.
The stars aligned for this.
bsfr she's crazy 😂😂
And takes place in the 50s when movies/tv are in black and white
Wow hadn't put that together yet!
😮🤯 ❤
I kept doing this too!!!!
The description of the album cover being “Folklore’s sexy cousin” is so hilarious and spot on.
😂
Agree 😂❤
It’s reps sibling too
It looks like she has cramps and is squeezing her stomach out of pain
it reminds me of emails i can’t send
the way she just dropped the full tracklist out of nowhere like 10 hours after this video went up. ally shes so unpredictable i cant handle this
She actually did oh hecc
that was because some piece of shit on TikTok leaked the tracklist
I am actually so sad the way it happened because I am so sure that she had some trivia kind of thing planned for the announcement of the song titles, but the way it got leaked ruined the whole fun of waiting and solving the puzzles she made. It's just so sad
@@minebeyazit9636 oh wait was the track list leaked so she was forced to post it?? That's a dog act
@@ZosiaDabrowski of course that's why im so pissed off about it
On April 19th America decleared independence from Britain. Taylor really said „You're not my homeland anymore“, „I can reclaim the land“, „Our country, guess it was a lawless land“, „So yeah it‘s a war“ and „There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair“. SHE IS INSANE FOR THIS
The American revolution began on this day. It was not the day America gained its independence.
😲😲😲😲😲
since when did July 4th become April 19th, what are you on about?
@@doxasticcJuly 4th was the day independence was GRANTED. April 19th was the date of the first shots fired that began America’s fight for independence. there is a difference lol.
@@HaleyJeanASMR lol? I honestly thought I was missing some joke based on all those likes. The Declaration of Independence was, rather famously, July 4th. But that didn't end the war... It wasn't formally 'granted' as you say until around 7 years later. But yes, the war started on April 19th. I'ma just hope all this confusion isn't from U.S. citizens.
She walked up that Grammy stage and said 'I want to make history' and that's what this is❤😌
Just cackled
she tried to have a gaga moment….
@@W1LDFIREgirl... Wake Up... Taylor Swift is the moment
iconic
debby ryan
I FEEL LIKE IT IS FOLKMORE LYRICISM INTENSIFIED AND MERGED WITH RED'S HEARTBREAK AND HINTS OF MIDNIGHT'S REGRET
ITS WHAT WE DESERVE
@@AllySheehan ADDICTED TO WINNING FR 🙏🏻!!!!
yes!!!! I'm just hoping she adds a little bit of "this is how I was hidden in my past but my new love let me bejeweled" I just want a little bit of "look how happy I am now!" in the new album
Yeeees!! Ive been saying since the All Too Well music video, she definitely has the penmanship of a poet and she could write a poetry book!
Her rendition of spoken word of the lyrics of 7 in the eras tour is the vibe im thinking
Red's lyricism in many ways is just as good as folklore's (in my opinion). All Too Well, State of Grace, Nothing New, Ronan, Begin Again, etc. They all have great lyrics!
I’ve also been thinking about the double meaning of the word ‘department’, as in depart. It could be a reference to the things she’s had to leave behind in order to heal from them
TRUE
Maybe depart as in THEY were both poets writing together and were torturing themselves by staying silent and continuing in the relationship?? THIS HURTS
🤯
right, but she talks about being the “chairman”
You swifties... Damm you smart!!
15:33 Ally: i personally think we will get the tracklist over time
Taylor: *releases the tracklist randomly on a Monday night* 😭

I can’t believe she kept us hanging for HOURS before we figured out what was she planning, we clowned so hard for REP TV release but in the best way, that woman is so unpredictable
You're the one that built your own expectations so dont blame her for it, just enjoy the ride. I am sure Rep TV will be announced later.
@@fedup1650no I’m enjoying it so much! I’m just joking haha
....chill out.. Its just a lighthearted comment/joke. Its not that serious @@fedup1650
Her pattern with it seems to be 2 re-releases and then a new album after that since 2021 when she started. Fearless and Red. Then Speak Now and 1989. I see debut and Reputation coming possibly in the order of Debut and then Reputation becsuse she's doing older then newer ones. At least just the stuff I noticed.
She left us hanging… like a poet
There are 17 tracks and 17 eras tour dates until the album comes out… what if she shares one song name with us at each show? 👀
Wait 17 tracks??? that's so many!! that's amazing!! also yes that would be so cool!!
What if she does it covertly and we don't even know until the track list comes out
@@nessie7306 yes!! 16 regular and one bonus track called "the manuscript"
@@AllySheehan ahhh!!!
DEAD POETS SOCIETY was MADE in 1989 GUYSSSS
This has got to be a continuation of her infatuation with The Lakes. "Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die" I think when her relationship was falling apart with Joe she kept thinking about the time they spent together in the Lakes District. And now she can finally talk about what happened in the relationship.
That lyric was actually about the lake poets William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert Southey, who lived in the English Lake District which was actually another Easter egg about this album
Plus the lyrics are awful. " me what are my words worth" If Joe cringed at this, he had a right to. Grim! @@minebeyazit9636
And the lyrics are so awful. Perhaps she should have read their poetry first. @@minebeyazit9636
The more I listen to the lakes the more it seems to fit with the Tortured Poets Department. "I'm setting off, but not without my muse" and now she's entering her muses into evidence.
@@minebeyazit9636 Exactly! I remember her talking about William Wordsmith in the Long Pond Sessions. She must've really dove deep into these poets' work for inspiration!
In her album of the year speech, she said “I would say this is the most excited I’ve been but this is how I feel when I finish a song or a bridge etc.” so I do think what you said that this album will be very vulnerable and RAWWW.
PRAYING for rock 🎸
@imawakemymindisalive13 #1 I LOVE your username #2 and I agree but maybe more soft rock but the track list sounds grungy
I'm betting a lot of these songs are going to be veryyyy raw because they will be responses to the lover album. Like bro I'm a tad nervous cause of the song titles but idk she might COOK on this!
This album gives Folklore but 1989ified with some rock influences OMG
Yes, the cover with the muted folklore tones but the hidden eyes like 1989! She loves to keep us guessing
and i think we've just found out the genre is synth pop!
Is there a source????? Because I haven’t seen a source for that claim
@@AllySheehan is it for sure? i saw a tweet that announced it and then underneath the op posted the meme "when i purposely spread misinformation". so i'm confused.
@@AllySheehanidk if this is true but PLEASE!!!
Let’s not forget she was seen with Florence Welch at electric lady back in April and we all thought it was for a possible 1989TV collab. But who sings beautiful poetry about being a “tortured soul” better than Florence!
My dream!!
Good point. Also that would make me so happy.
she literally js announced the tracklist and florence is a feature
U WERE RIGHT!
you were right!
when you said miss americana declaring her independence from her london boy and today she posted the tracklisting and its got "so long london" on it aaaaaaaa
I think this is a genius career move, because right now Taylor is as influential as a human being can be, and she has all the leverage to shape the narrative however she wants it. And by doing this album, she chose to define her career not by her popularity, but by shifting the focus onto her artistic abilities, which is surprisingly not what most people beside Swifties focuses on. Then, from this album on she will be able to quietly put out whatever non-mainstream genre she’s comfortable in while simultaneously reaping heaps of popularity (which is the opposite of what happens to other artists). She’s literally recoding her own career, and the music industry.
I can't really explain it but this album feels so much more mature. The imagery feels much more grown up, the language used in the initial marketing feels very mature as well - maybe it's because we've had the re-recordings which have obviously given us a lot of past memories and vibes, but I feel like this is going to be so groundbreaking for her and a real elevation in her artistry. ALSO, I'm getting big "no body, no crime" vibes with the 'evidence' in the letter and I'm so excited to see the depth in this album
The shock of this entire event. Her dress. The midnight clock chocker. It had me in a chock hold. Her frank and loving “thank you, I love you”. Insane. What else is mother mothering!?!?!
I think the clock also refers to the tick, tick, tick of the love bombs! 🤍🤍🤍
@@Jonard. OMG YESSS 🤍🤍🤍
the way she tricked us is really giving “every bait and switch was a work of art” 👀 I’m soooo excited and in shock!!I really hope it’s folkmore vibes!! 🪩🥂
When she said “I have a secret I’ve been keeping from you for two years.” I literally froze
Okay I have to bring this up. The promo she posted says "And so I enter into evidence"
The promo photo "file" for The Manuscript is labeled "Artifacts"
Where else do we see those terms?
Hits Different: I find the ARTIFACTS / Cried over a hat / Cursed the space that I needed / I traced the EVIDENCE / Make it make some sense / Why the wound is still bleeding
Plus the 2 year secret comment coinciding with the original writing/recording date for You're Losing Me. I think this is gonna be the Joe breakup album and I'm ready to have my heart stomped on. Big folklore/evermore/cowboy like me vibes
I thought the exact same thing when I saw ARTIFACTS! Intentional I’m sure
I await the Florence Welch collab!! But also find it interesting that this is coming out nearly exactly a year after her breakup with Joe was announced seemingly prematurely (likely leaked early), makes me feel like there’s was a NDA that lasted a year and now here we are 😅
This feels like folklore’s distant sister and I’m all here for it
For me, folklore and evermore are sisters. Folklore and poets are half sisters. Evermore and poets are cousins
@@TaylortheBarbie13facts
@@TaylortheBarbie13 that is literally album family
Folklore and evermore are sisters, Poets is their cool aunt
folklore and poet are girlfriends and i will not change my mind
"The gloves are off" ----- OMG. You said she took her gloves off at some point... Dear Lord. This is going to be savage. As a writer with an M.A. in English Literature and sickly focused Swiftie, this album is going to undo me. I look at the artwork on the cover, and her arms are in a protective, defensive posture, but I also think shots have been fired with this announcement. American Freedom may be the lens, but this is all about the girl who asked to be taken to The Lakes and asked what her words are worth...This department may tell us rather than ask us. Your post makes me euphoric in knowing you are as unhinged as me.
I can't wait for her to unload.
The GASP I let out at work when Ally said the ending track of Midnights 3am “Dear Reader” closing out Midnights & leading us into Tortured Poets Department era…. Ally you are a genius!!! 😂❤
Taylor and Joe were like tortured poets together with their sad songs. I think this album will be about the unraveling of that relationship with themes of unrequited marriage wishes and secrecy, with perhaps ending in a Declaration of Independence (how genius is the Revolutionary War "coincidence"?). I'm not-so-secretly hoping we get a bonus track about her new relationship, though I'm not expecting it since this album has been in the works for 2 yrs.
I agree - she did say she's been keeping it secret for 2 years, meaning before midnights. I'm curious if they may even have written parts of it together before the end of their relationship and its taken a few years to sort out their personal challenges and the turmoil of ending their relationship before it was possible to release this
Yeees!! You said it PERFECTLY
The manuscript??? On her list of song names for this album there is a bonus track called The Manuscipt!! Manuscript= a book, document, or piece of music written by hand rather than typed or printed. It's also defined this way: an author's text that has not yet been published. 😮😮😮😮😮 That is literally gonna be the best song everrrrrrrrr ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nah he's horrible and treated her horribly overall. She was tortured he was a faker.
I’m getting a folklore lyric vibe but a rep melody on EVERY song like kind of pop rock I NEED THIS
You said it 🤍🫶
if we got a pop rock album or even an alt rock sound I would DIE HAPPY but I'm not getting my hopes up too high
Ugh there is nothing worse than a random rap part on every pop song. I remember those times in the early 2000s and it got so shit at some point...
@@nessie7306 I’m clowning like always be positive 🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@phoebeel I don’t want a rap feature on every song…. I want drums and electric guitar 🎸
I think Midnights was not a breakup album but it alluded to the first wave of trouble Taylor faced in her relationship with Joe. We don't know what happened, but I think the song The Great War is telling us that there was a big rift that she thought would be the only war they'd have to fight, like when the US and UK fought in the great war not knowing it would just be WW1. Now Taylor and Joe have fought a second war that resulted in them no longer being allies. Hence the black and white, old hollywood vibe that originated very shortly after the second world war. Just my theory!
oh my....god
I think it's worth considering that the great war was possibly written after you're losing me (now that we know how old YLM) - "that was the night I almost lost you". And she possibly thought they had made it past that night when YLM was written and didn't release it until it was clear they really were in fact over
@@Shady_Belle I agree, as much as YLM feels like a hard end I think they probably did come back from either hanging on the edge or got back together after a break. We don't have the story of the true end but it sounds like we're getting it with TPD! She only released YLM once she knew she wouldn't be talking negatively about someone she's still with.
@@torzimay that's exactly my thoughts as well. I don't think anyone, and especially not her, would release a song like YLM about someone they were still with. I think when she released it, that was her way of telling us that their relationship had ended.
@torzimay I also actually always felt like YLM had a little glimmer of hope at the end and I do think they worked things out for while after. As much as she says it's over on YLM, she also does say "unless you're choosing me", which gives an opening for them to stay together.
not her releasing the WHOLE TRACKLIST after u posted this omgggggg
I still can’t fully memorize that album title for the life of me but I’m so hyped 😭
SAME i keep calling it dead poets society
@@AllySheehantbf that movie is just so good and flawless the impact is understandable
I keep calling it tortured chairmans😂😂😂
@@AllySheehanHAHHAHAA I keep calling it "The tortured poets departure" LMFAO
I also have to manually correct myself from dead poets society every time I say the name. Also, it’s coming out on my birthday!
I have two theories so far.
First, it feels significant that the new album is diverting from the one-word title trend (even though, yes, Speak Now is two words). To me, this feels veeeeery different than the branding of any previous TS albums, almost signifying that Taylor is done with the idea of ~eras~ as concise, tag-yourself concepts. It feels like her albums/aesthetics are going to get more fluid from here on out.
Second, I think the two-month gap in the Eras tour is going to be used to rework the show (to include some time for TPD). She did tell us the setlist wasn't final, after all...
But when it comes to Taylor, who really knows?
I agree on the setlist, it was always so weird to me, especially when she released the movie so early I was very suspicious !
I was thinking that post on instagram when she was announced time person of the year, how she listed a few names of artists. What if that was an Easter egg for possible collaborations on this album. But yes I 100% agree with the setlist
I'm thinking the same on both topics.
Yeah I think she literally said there was 5 unreleased albums and that’s was so true we missed so many hints or we glossed over it.
@@petergabriel8961 OMG yes 5 albums !! It makes total sense now
I’m calling it- this album will be a fan favorite. I’m hoping it has an old Hollywood/Lana sound, which she’s already given us a little like in songs like Snow On the Beach. She’s dressing very old Hollywood glam at recent appearances! Some of the song titles sound like they might be scathing. I can’t wait haha
i feel like its gonna have the same poetry as folklore and evermore but also be a little bit spicy, like rep (not as much but a little) and its giving a 1960’s new york city, police investigation department type of vibe
I think the term you are looking for is film noir and I totally agree
@@BlueRaven73 yessss
i wonder if this album will be a response to lover as well!
I still haven't processed we're getting a new album called the tortured poets department yet but Ally is here to help
🫡
to me, the whole concept so far is giving Anais Nin. the aesthetic, the cover, the colors, title. And we know she loves her literature so if I’m right about this we’re getting some spicy songs. I feel like this is going to be for the ciwyw / false god / so it goes people (aka me) and i’m here for it. (edit: to anyone unfamiliar with Anais Nin, she was a French American writer famous for her journals, poetry and essays, often of erotic nature. Highly recommend checking out her work, her writing is great)
wowwww i see that connection!
okayy so here’s what i’m thinking:
rep is mainly black (ik it’s black and white but we mainly associate it with black right) and this album is white which mean they’re basically ppposties of each other. it’s also kinda ironic bc we thought we were getting rep and now there’s this haha anyways so if they’re the opposite then that means this will be about losing joe rather than finding him right?. also i think there will be mainly stopper back production but a few faster ones as well (kinda like long story short in evermore yk) because on rep we had mainly pop production and then new year’s day etc. sooo excited for this album tho can’t believe it’s acc happening ahhhh 💗💗
ooh thats a rlly good point!!! didnt think of that
I think that she's gonna announce the name of one song each show, as there are 17 shows before the album comes out🤍
ooooo maybe
Maybe even play 1 each night for acoustic set 👀
@@ufcia20 that seems unlikely, maybe one two songs just before album release
@@ufcia20 I think only 1 or 2. Just like releasing singles to radio before the full album drop. But I wouldn't be surprised if she kept the mystery going until the very end
🤡 let’s go
This morning i woke up and just stared at my phone and was like oh cool taytay announced a new album. It still doesn't feel real at all but i can feel the panic/excitement slowly starting...
Some one on twitter said that TTPD is already registered as a Synth Pop album, so not country :,) but definitely intriguing and exciting 🤍🤍
Idk if thats true or not because if an artist doesnt disclose the genre usually these website will just default to whatever the artist did last in this case it would be 1989tv which makes sense
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not again 💀💀💀 please when will we get rock taylor
@@partydragon4020yeah, I really hope it isn’t synth pop. I need something fresh😭
I like synth pop 😭
The JOY in my soul, the way this announcement soaked up all my burnout and just rendered me anew was unreal, thanks for the video, Ally!
my first thought after seeing the album name was "red x folklore" in the sense i feel like it will combine the heartbreak of red and the poetry and aestheticism of folklore and honestly if it ends up being true i will be HERE. FOR. IT.
the title track is also track 2, like ❤
i really hope we can get some of that red sound tho 😂
One thing that the cover makes me think of is how relationships and breakups are not so black and white. She said that herself during the 1989, where she grew up and realized that both partners in a relationship play a part in why a relationship may have not lasted. Perhaps, in this album she will be more vulnerable and not only talk about what things Joe may have done to cause the breakup, but also talk about how she may have also contributed to that. If she does take that route in any way shape or form, I hope she shows herself some grace as well. We all know that she is guilty, like practically every human on earth, of being self-deprecating (as we see on You're Losing Me). In the end, no one is the "bad guy" in this situation. As she says in the Story of Us,
"Oh, a simple complication,
Miscommunications lead to fall out."
Only, in this case, things may not be so simple.
God, I love her and wish her all the best 🤍🕊
GOSH i LOVE songs where there isn't a "villian" and it's kinda vague and angst all around (im looking at you Happiness)
I'm honestly hoping for this. Sadly, the crazy stans are already sending Joe death threats. The poor guy's never going to know peace.
@@yutisima Some of my favourite songs from Taylor are the ones where she admits she's not the perfect one in relationships: (The Great War, Happiness, Back to December, Hoax, etc) I'm hoping this is what we're going to get. Evermore and Folklore are my top two favourite albums from her. A part of my isn't that confident though considering her recent behaviour and indirect comments towards Joe. (It's fueling my own personal conspiracy theory that he was the one who dumped her suddenly and this is why she can't seem to move on from him. It's just a theory though, so take it with a grain of salt).
ONE OF HER TRACKS IS CALLED CLARA BOW
ALLY YOUR OLD HOLLYWOOD AESTHETIC IS HEREEEEE
The original “It Girl”.
The way you said her style was giving it girl and there is a song called Clara Bow, who was referred to as the it girl-I did my research lol 😂- is so mind blowing to me. Also, lately she has been the it girl in the music industry so it all makes sense!
As excited as I am for this new album, the entire Rep TV timeline has been thrown off and I am STRESSIN.
Hear me out, rep TV being delayed means there's still time for a vault featuring Megan thee Stallion... listen... LISTEN
She's also going for snake themes for her new album cycle, she's also got a tarnished reputation, all the liars are calling me one....... It would be SO COOL
@@nessie7306 STOP THIS IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA PLEASE TAYLOR MEGAN THEE STALLION FEATURE WOULD BE SO ICONIC
Sameee;
I think that You're Losing Me and Hits Different could have been written for/similar to TPD. Possibly ended up being too pop and got added to Midnights later on! Both give poetic depression so I just know we're in for a WILD. Buckle up bards!!!
Wow, hearing you say Poets Era really made this sink in for me. This album title made me think of the lakes from folklore (deluxe) "where all the poets went to die", so I wonder if those vibes will be present. Can't wait!! 🤍
it’s like she new she was getting her thirteenth grammy that day- she knew that she would announce it, she’s a mastermind✨
i am TOTALLY on board with the collaboration album thing
it just HAS to be, right??
I mean POETS in the title is plural 👀
@@erikdaniels0nyes and she is the CHAIRMAN so the department so who else is in the department. (Lana for sure)
True true!!
@@ultravioletpisces3666Selena????
My heart palpitations when her lips didn’t form the R sound for Reputation but a new album 😭
me too I was looking at her lips like rep rep rep but she didnt say it lmao
The way my dog moved away from me when I was screaming OMG REPUTATION OMG REPUTATION. And then it wasn’t and my brain stopped working 🤣
Okay wildcard theory, but what if it's like a fully fictional album that tells the stories of the people from the tortured poets department, and Taylor, as chairman, is telling these stories? This is probably just because the album title sounds like a dark academia book I would read, but if it is like a dark academia book, but in song form?
I also think it is going to be very different than anything we've ever heard from Taylor, because that title is soooo different (in the best way possible !!!). Vibes are gonna abe folklore lyrics, especially the lakes, but also kinda Lana del Rey?? She's been around Lana a lot lately and Lana's new album is going to be country, so may be they kinds shared their knowledge. Definitely a possibility that it's gonna be collaborative. Every tortured poet sharing their stories, art, poems with Taylor, the chairman.
omg stop that would be so cool 😭 we can only hope
@@megs7751 yessss i love dark academia
Omg that would be insane and I would love it, but "So long, London" is unfortunately too obvious.
@@saturn6563 Yeah, I don't think it's true anymore after the setlist came out
Yk how some books usually have the first few chapters of the next after u finish it? I feel like You’re Losing Me is like that, I feel that it was introducing us into this era
‘I wouldn’t marry me either’ and the dress she wore last night looked like a potential wedding dress (not For her, in general)!!! Links to ‘you’re losing me’ like you said written two years ago… ahhh!
The way I cackled when you said referring to her as our generations Shakespeare was an Easter egg for poets...I may need to move
i can definitely see an album/taylors version pattern!!
so, here’s the pattern. fearless (tv) & red (taylor’s version) and then she released midnights. then, speak now (tv) and 1989 (tv) and then she’ll release TTPD. so what if she releases her last 2 tvs and then makes another album!
I figure out that it will be like this last year.Because this order of album releases is logical.
OMGG, the tracklist is revealed!!!!!!!
WE NEED A BREAKDOWN VIDEO LMAO
I feel like the vibe is going to be lyricism of folklore and evermore but sound of midnights like moody / the fashion is going to be a cross between romantic Victorian corsets but also sexy but also academia schoolgirl
I was watching The Grammys with my Mom too. Yesterday morning when Taylor put up the black and white profile pic, I said, "REP TV" but she said, "Maybe it's a new album!". I laughed at her and scoffed and rolled my eyes and everything that comes with denial and ruling out the impossible. As we watched Taylor's speech and I started falling apart piece by piece with each word Taylor spoke, my Mom pointed at me and screamed, "I FUCKING TOLD YOU!!!!!!! NOW GET ONLINE AND ORDER THE CD!!!!" My Mom is also a hardcore Swiftie and she doesn't cuss so that was A MOMENT for us both. 😂 I waited an hour and a half just to order the deluxe CD. Worth the wait.
As a folklore and evermore stan, this album better deliver on the poetry. I thought Midnights was going to be soft pop/acoustic rock....I was very wrong but with a title like THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT?!?!?!?! This is absolutely not going to be a POP album! No way! What are we supposed to do until April 19th?!?!😭😭😭
Edit: LOOKS LIKE YOU SHOULD'VE WAITED A DAY TO MAKE THIS VIDEO! THE TRACKLIST IS OUT! 😅
when deciding upon what I was going to watch I said
“Ally Sheehan IS iconic so let’s watch this”
"Folklores sexy cousin" was the description I was looking for but couldn't find! Thank you!!
April 19th is also Poetry & The Creative Mind Day!!
I really think its going to be a jazz/soft jazz album IDK ITS A GUT FEELING!! Like sort of a marilyn monroe- 1950s jazz vibe and soft piano and etc.
I wish you were right because that's my dream 🥹🤍
False god but like a while album
im hoping and praying for a false god type album
I can’t believe I’m witnessing TS 11 😭 but, I sense some more Lana colabs!! She was sat by her, they had matching fans, both of them were in black and white outfits with similar vibes. Also the name and cover are so Lana coded. I’m excited!!!
Too late. The only collabs are Post Malone and Florence + The Machine. Maybe Taylor is on Lana's new album Lasso.
Its interesting because your coat of arms isn't your armor, in medieval times it's your sigil, the symbol of your family and who you belong to. So I think that "tarnished coat of arms" is closer to meaning the tarnished (or worn down over time) reputation. But that's just my interpretation as a history major!❤❤❤
THIS!
going along with the collaboration album idea, remember when a bunch of people taylor was following online suddenly changed there pfp to black and white? WHAT IF THOSE PEOPLE ARE WHO SHE IS COLLABING WITH? (i love clowning)
i was honestly SHOCKED when she pulled the name out at the grammys and i’m so excited for this album. it sounds so amazing and i can’t wait to hear what it sounds like… still haven’t processed the fact that we’re getting ts11. ILY
and now we have the TRACK TITLES ALLY
The second Tay announced, I thought of you!!
this is such an honour!!
I honestly think she is going to include this album in the eras tour. It's objectively a very long tour and as she said before: you can't expect the songs you're going to get at the eras tour. I could perhaps see that she may get bored from doing the same choreography for every night and with it being a very well-oiled machine so to speak, it would be possible to add something to the show. I also think that is the reason we got the eras tour film already and why she is coming back to america. Also: it is still called the eras tour, and this is going to be one of her eras... Doing another tour just for this album just doesn't seem realistic when she's still in the middle of this one. Anyway those are my thoughts :)
I am so so excited for your reaction to the tracklist!
as a literature&mirrorball girly this is EVERYTHING.
YOU ARE QUICK!!! love youuu 🤍🤍🤍
ALLY TAYLOR JUST DROPPED THE TRACKS!!!!!!!😭😭😭😭
this feels like mending of the old taylor who creates extremely thought out precise albums with a new taylor who’s creatively reborn and i am so excited
i love that the color of this era is 🤍 and we were all waiting for the Rep TV that is 🖤.
The opposite.
She fooled us all hahahah
When Taylor announced her new album I literally started crying (tears of joy ofc). I watched it later because of the time zone difference, so I quickly checked my Instagram to see what the album cover looks like. My first reaction was that the album title and the album cover were not really Taylor aesthetic. They looked and sounded different. So it makes me more excited on what the songs are gonna sound like and what’s the feel of the album. But at the same time it gives many folklore vibes mixed with rep and 1989. Like imagine if Folklore and Reputation had a baby, it would look like this. I wasn’t clowning on Rep tv cuz I kinda knew she wouldn’t announce that in the Grammy’s but I wasn’t expecting a whole new album. I am so excited.
omg my first thought on the title was just like yours „sounds like a Lana del Rey album title“ 😂 I do think that it‘s gonna be a whole new level: song writing like folklore-evermore mixed with heartbreak energy from red, some sound from Midnights and a sprinkle of 1989 vault
I agree with literally everything u said about the genre and I’m so excited for ur eras tour experience!!!!!
I still cannot process any of this. I feel like it’s not going to be pop, maybe folklore/evermore-esque, but I also feel like she could pull a completely new genre on us. Idk, I’m just so excited for this album!
ok, but her switching the war in 'all is fair in love and war' to poetry, is basically her saying that her words are her weapons...i'm unwell
RIGHT!!!
her muses that she collects like bruises??? she has to get hurt to get inspired... cos she's a tortured artist... love that line
Thank you for getting this out so fast Ally!!! IM LITERALLY SO EXCITED!!!
I am beyond excited for this album!!!!!!!!!!!
I love having a CZcamsr to watch like you who is so good at explaining everything she does!
Also have the best time at the eras tour Ally🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
ally u and zach ( aka the swiftologist ) dropping at the same time is a blessing from above
I was ready and waiting for this breakdown! The tortured poets department is giving fearless & folklore had a baby.
Also as a no body no crime girly the detective and evidence vibes is what I’m ready for 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
oooh you think fearless vibes in there?
@@AllySheehan 100%
although i kinda agree with the whole reputation being strong monochrome (deeply in love) to the poets soft monochrome (falling out of love) idea you had. that’s beautiful 🤍
I was watching live! I got the collectors cd and I’m so so excited! I can tell this will be my favorite album 🤍🤍
I saw department as like departing from, and I think that fits perfectly with what you predict! Love you ♥️♥️
I LOVE both academic and old Hollywood aesthetic, so I would love either vibe!!
MY HANDS ARE SHAKING I CAN'T EXPLAIN THIS AHH AHH AHH AHHHHHHHHHHHH
This is amazing. Thanks for being our taylor-english-teacher💓 I‘m so excited for this new era, poetry and telling stories is exactly what i love and it coming from taylor alison swift is even more amazing and exciting and nerve wrecking. this will be healing🤍
You and the Swiftologist had your videos out before I even had my morning coffee. The dedication!
ALLY THAT WAS SO FAST
So happy you mentioned that «losing me» was also written about the same time. That was my first thought. I love that her creative vibe goes in different directions. And yes, «invisible string» is amazing ❤ I dothink she’ll play some new stuff after the release, though. She did with the rest.
just pre orderd the album looking forward to it thank you for this too
Ok I happened across your feed and I’m in awe of your brain!!! I’m a new Swiftie and I’m so experiencing FOMO that I wasn’t a Swiftie from the get go. I appreciate the break down and this rabbit hole I’ve fallen down had just got sooooo much more interesting and fun!!! I’m playing catch up and loving every minute of it! Thank you for keeping us posted !
My first thought when I heard the name was Dead Poets Society as well (one of my fav Robin Williams movies) I feel a lot of O Captain my Captain coming on in the future !
I would die for a Phoebe collaboration 😭
1:10 I am so overwhelmed too, my brain can’t comprehend that this is happening. Also this is my first original album release as a full Swiftie!!!!
Omgg wowww congsssss
I think you'll be getting THE BEST ALBUM as your 1stt
congrats!!! i joined the community after evermore, so midnights was my first original release lol
This is how im finding out about the new album! Im so thankful i found your channel! ❤
Have so much fun at the concert 🎉 I cannot believe she is bringing another album out so quickly while also touring the world and releasing the eras tour movie 🙈
I’M SO EXITED! I’m hoping the album is going to be like an indie rock album with KILLER LYRICS (obv) because mother listens ❤️
what a lot of people said about ylm after it came out (that it seemed like the other possibility of the great war) is i think similar to midnights vs ttpd. she may have been working on midnights, started to realize there was a bit of a worrying time in her relationship, so she started also working on a different collection of songs, and when the great war was "won" at the time, she thought she might be moving forward without ttpd, but after the breakup decided to go back to what she was working on with ttpd, maybe further developing it, and now releasing it.
This is exactly what I think too. And now she's publicly happy and in new relationship, she can release it to a very different reception to if she'd done it straight away. I'm guessing Hits Different, Dear Reader, You're Losing Me all written about the same time and form the bridge between the two albums.
Also love the idea of poets collaborators
Yes she said that she originally started writing songs with aaron and then changed her mind and started working on midnights with jack. Maybe she decided to include the original aaron songs in the til 3 a.m. edition because she thought she was moving on from that project? But now it looks like it morphed into something different and I hope this is the aaron project come to fruition after the dust has mostly settled with the breakup and tumultuous summer afterward, etc.
