i think about taylor saying âi went through two breakups during this tour, which is actually a lot of breakupsâ quite frequently it is one of the funniest things sheâs ever said to me
itâs soooooo wry and blunt it made me giggle too (and her saying the tour was the thing that got her through all the shit going wrong in her personal lifeâŚ..warm)
I donât think sheâs particularly putting more pressure on TS13 than usual. I do however worry that some fans are placing all the expectations in the world on it because itâs TS13 (and because they hated showgirl), and Iâm not sure how well that will ultimately end up, but thatâs not Taylorâs problem đ¤ˇââď¸
most fans will love it, a small but loud group will hate it and try to bring everyone down with them, but then come around later. i can predict everyone i followâs reaction to a taylor album before it even comes out at this point. so much of the discourse is not genuine that it feels simply irrelevant to me
do you think she's going to make ts13 ~extra special~ because it's the 13th album or will she treat it like any other release? the numerology stuff is always fun but idk if it's good to put extra pressure on something because it's her favorite number
she tries to make every album extra special and puts a ton of pressure on it, thatâs why she is the artist she is
imagine how i feel lol like iâm trying to have a good convo and itâs just like 20 asks a minute of some bullshit every day (and even if i just trash them, which i mostly do, itâs still so disruptive). genuinely help is needed
she is! and she looooves her job - people sometimes say that she worked the way she did for years because she was running from something and will now slow down, but thatâs just not true. sheâs in it for the love of the game! and fwiw the way she spoke during showgirl promo about her understanding of this and how sheâs figured out how to manage it (finding ways to relax in a structured way, doing tactile things to wind down) tells me sooo much about her mental wellbeing these days
my favorite thing about being a taylor swift fan is that there is *usually* something coming within a year or so like she doesnât leave us hungry for long because she canât help but create!! i think about her saying over and over on the podcast âi just love it a lotâ about making music
Ah here we go again itâs pretty clear you think Ts13 this fall then tour in 27 just say this instead of the constant back tracking STAND on something for once good lord itâs tiring what youâve become !!!
literally not what i think and also not what i have said ever
which btw i still think is possible for this year / i think we could be hearing something rn, unless it's a surprise drop
i mean i will say that i am not ~expecting~ a new album this year, just that iâm not personally willing to rule it out entirely yet. i think next year is more likely.
I feel like she stopped signifying a new era with her hair about 5 albums ago. I do think new music is coming within the next year, I just don't think her hair has anything to do with it.
yeah she isnât really as tethered to the wholesale change as she once was. that doesnât mean there arenât aesthetics that are tied to eras even still - sheâs soooo skilled at branding - but itâs not like it used to be. this hair is just a post-wedding chop, even though itâll probably appear in the TS13 visuals.
Do people not realize that games are only 3 hours and she has a plane to travel on like why are some acting like she canât go to home games when itâs the easiest thing she can do in between working on the weekdays lol
i donât even understand the debate like they have n established routine at this point
