I had an idea for a sort of 10 year rerelease of the debut in 2016 to also celebrate 10 years in the industry
It would be a big box set physical. The new edition would include track by track of Taylor looking back on those songs now. And also a few old unreleased songs rerecorded for the rerelease like Maybe Nashville
There's also be a DVD of a live concert with some special fans invited where she performs all the songs live
Then the iTunes/standard release would be a visual album where Taylor puts on her bumpkin and films videos for each song, excluding the ones with videos already.
A Place in this Worlds video would chronicle her 10 year journey, including Taylor dressing up to represent each era, and also footage of live performances, interviews etc. along with footage of fans, her band etc.
At the end the video a title card says "I Found It"
Cold as Yous videos would be very visual. It would feature Taylor on a doc in the middle of the woods as it starts to rain. As the song progresses the rain turns to snow, and the lake starts to freeze, symbolizing the relationship going cold after it's "rainy ending"
As the scene fades the screen reads "Time to let Go"
The Outside video would see Taylor as sort of "an invisible mentor" for kids who feel on the outside. There would be maybe three different stories of kids who feel isolated. And Taylor would appear around hallways, in reflections etc encouraging them.
The title would then read "You are Not Alone"
The Tied Together With a Smile video would tell the story of a brunette Taylor in a beauty pagant, faced with pressures to be perfect, criticism and loneliness. Blonde Taylor appears as sort of encouragement. Brunette Taylor eventually finds herself in a bathtub after a suicide attempt and blonde Taylor grabs her hand and helps her out of the tub "The waters high you're jumping into"
At the end the title reads "You Are Loved"
The Stay Beautiful would be another very visual video. It shows Taylor in a huge rose garden singing the lyrics as they appear throughout the garden
And of course at the end the screen reads "Shake N bake"
The Should've Said No video would find Taylor pulling up to Sams house, sets up her speakers and starts singing. With side shots of roses burning, letters being ripped to shreads etc. and it starts raining of course while she's singing. Also performance shots of Taylor singing in a hallway with cracked picture frames of them as the word "No" appears all along the walls
The screen would then read "Sam Sam Sam Sam"
The video for Mary's song would have Taylor walking down an old town street while shots of te different memories are shown. Ending with old lady taylor on the porch. Lots of pretty lights and stars for effect
And then of course "Sometimes Love is forever"
The Bumpkin soundtrack would finally get #1
what do you think?
