Music News: Taylor Swift on TS6: "Quality is my main concern."

Dalai

Quote:

[...]With the 85-date world tour finally in the books, fans will naturally start to wonder about the possibility of her next album, though she's quick to say she doesn't have a concept yet. "Right now, quality is the only thing I have to focus on," she said. "Like, 'Alright, make something great.'"[...]

On 1989 As a Pop Album Rather Than Country

"I tend to go one dream at a time. And the thing about 1989 was that it was a huge change for me. I knew I wanted to step out of country and go into pop, I knew I wanted to be very transparent about it. Of course, I got a lot of resistance from every part of my team on that, because if something's working, a lot of people feel like, why would you change that? But I just wanted to make something different than I'd ever made before. So I just kind of made this record on my own, turned it in to the label and said, 'This is what it is. It's gonna be labeled pop. I know this is a huge change for you guys, but this is what's natural for me.'"

Quote:

On Her Past Year

"I've had a few years that I'd consider career breakthrough years; one of them was when I had that album Fearless that I did when I was 18. And that was just a whirlwind and amazing and huge and successful, but I was caught in it like it was a tornado... It was a lot of stress and anxiety that I didn't have this year. This year was really big, but it was also equally as fun. And that's what I'm so happy about."

On Her Friends Being Part of the Album and Tour

"It would be weird to not include my friends. These are the people who helped me get to the point where I could make this album. These were the ones who were like, 'Don't listen to your label. Do whatever you want. Don't listen to anyone saying you can't change into something that you feel like doing.' And so when this album came about, I'd have my friends walk down the cat walk because it was fun. The reasons we did any of that is just because it was fun to. And we had some of the most amazing memories just around this tour." [She also handed out titles for Funniest Squad Member (Este Haim) and Most Honest (Lorde)]

RIP if this has already been posted. Serve us quality, QUEEN

Starting to really think she won't release this year

Hey Gurl Hey

Now that she is finally clean, she should explore deeper topics with her music. She should throw the mainstream a curveball and make it about our universe. I'm here for Taylor the philosopher

Queen. Deliver your long-awaited self-penned and produced Opus.

Same. We're probably getting a new album next year tbh

LP6 is going to be her best work ever. She's in a very happy place in life with her career, friendships, and relationship. The only dark thing that's really happened in the last 2 years is her mom's cancer, but even that seems to be a battle that they're winning.

I can't wait to hear the album title. The lead single. Etc. snatch me queen.

We are not worthy for that 90+ Metascore album

With the exception of her debut (which has a couple of great tracks nonetheless,) all of her albums are great so I have no doubt this one will be, too.

I'm guessing Lead single Spring 2017 and album Summer 2017. That seems long enough for the GP to miss her. I can't wait! I really want her to do rock a la Paramore's self titled or maybe do Indie Pop. I also want more Jeff Bhasker collaborations. Holy Ground, The Lucky One, and the EHC Remix all SLAY

Although I wouldn't say no to more Max Martin collabs.

Sounds like this record will be so full of emotion.

She really shouldn't release this year. Anyone who thinks she should is silly! She released the album late 2014 and dominated all of 2015 with singles and her tour. People need a break from her.

She should release Q1 2017.
