I'm here for this!!! She might be alienating her fan base, but I think she can pull it off.

Good. I love Taylor's voice, but I don't use any of her music. It's all the same whiny breakup song, each with a slightly different tune.

But then hearing her on B.O.B.'s "Both Of Us", I realized how well her voice works with bigger beats. I don't want her to sell out and do modern electropop, but some R&B style beats could go a long way to maturing her sound.

See this is an example

It could garner new fans after all but I hope

it all just balances the jumping and boarding off fans on her "ship" ..

How many of the new fans will buy the album though?

[honey827]

Honestly don't care. If the album connects to me I will get it and if it doesn't I won't or will just get the songs that do from the album.

Yeah Taylor could get more platinum singles but who cares about that when your albums struggle to go platinum.

[ifyouseekLEM]

Wow, that's exciting!!....But Taylor has straight up left country music behind, it seems....

A Country artist called as Country artist because they makes Country music.

But we all have opinions to share. I mean we are the reason they are still here anyways. We buy their albums, we have a say about this.

I mean I know 90% of the artists in country music don't actually make country music but this is just on a whole level above what everyone else has done. I can't even defend it anymore.

It will be LAUGHABLE if Borchetta tries to pass this off as country, and knowing him... He will.

And Taylor will take the fall for it.

The Nashville Sound =/= Country. Nope. Real Country music doesn't have a room anymore in commercial Country market. We know Taylor has always been Country at heart, but her latest moves are not representing Country at all. There's a Progressive Country for a reason, to evolve while still maintaining the Country tradition in the music. But this? It's a middle finger for the tradition tbh.

She needs to label this album as POP if she meant it to be a Pop album. That's all my complain.

[itsBENb!tch]

Goodness, I'm no stan of hers, but you all need to let Taylor do Taylor. She knows what she wants to do with her direction.


What would've happened if Britney had never ventured out from bubblegum pop and released "I'm A Slave 4 U"? We wouldn't have any of her discography past her first two albums.

And what if Katy hadn't left her pop/rock roots? She wouldn't be tied with the king of pop for most number 1's from an album.

And if Rihanna hadn't transitioned from Caribbean dancehall when she released "Umbrella"? I don't think she wouldve gone far releasing repeats of "SOS" and "Pon de Replay".

And what if Shakira hadnt started making English music? Well "Hips Don't Lie" wouldn't be the biggest selling single of the 2000's.


There are many more examples, but you all get the point. Taylor knows what she's doing, so don't doubt her like this. Personally, I'm here for a new sound.

I'll still buy it and skip tracks I don't like.

Some of you are doing too much , is not like she's going to stop making country music, she wants to experiment, she's a big fan of today's pop culture so it's not surprising she wants to make that kind of music.



Also, what makes Taylor's music special is her songwriting, so...as long as the music (Pop, folk or country) fits the lyrics I'm here for it.
