I need another Enchanted-esque power ballad that's driven by synths and strings.

What do you think the setlist will look like for Her London dates?

I hope She adds the Motown version of YBWM and surprise song back. TLT and EHC might become staples on the London setlist as well, since they were singles there.

Knowing Her, She will probably re-use the Oceania setlist.

A recycle of Oceania setlist for the WW dates, if dates for rest of UK/EU and Asia ever gonna happen.

She will only debut 350k if she explores that genre
Bubblegum pop, pop rock, and folktronica for next album

And I realized she only did country in ballad songs
Treacherous, ATW, I Almost Do, sad Beautiful Tragic, Begin Again, The Moment I Knew, Come Back Be Here
Probably a power ballad a la Unconditionally in next album too

Who gives a ****? I'd rather she make good, memorable, lasting music with meaningful lyrics while exploring and expanding a genre, instead of focusing on selling as much as she can with disposable pop crap like 22. Sales figures come and go, but good music lasts forever.

Quality Songs > Album Sales, every time.

Good music only lasts if you have people there to listen to it.

Meh. Good music will find a way to its audience, even if it's not a commercial beast. (see: Joy Division)

And let's be realistic. She's big enough, and has more than enough money for her great great grand children. Don't be greedy?

We're talking about Taylor ****ing Swift, not some random no-name indie upstart, I'm pretty sure she doesn't need to worry anymore about whether or not people will listen to her music.

Don't read disco like that

My faves' influence runs DEEP even after 30 years. U2 should have sent them thank you cards every year tbh! Many tried to imitate them, 90% of them failed. Two back-to-back iconic albums. Their debut's artwork alone is worshiped by many. The people built their myth, not hype-machine. U tried.

But on Tyler bae, is She now fully embracing and trying to change her brand to faux-authenticity?

[HyperCrush]

I want her to experiment with her sound and have at least a few more songs that are stripped and cutting as "Safe & Sound", but a whole album like that? No way in hell. Catchy, timeless melodies are part of her strength and they should never be pushed aside just for some inorganic attempt at credibility.

Red is slaying in Japan

5. Red
201. The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection - Single
240. Fearless
285. Speak Now
317. Red

Too bad Oricon doesn't count digital sales. I bet all her albums would have somewhat higher sales.

[thediscomonkey]

I feel like digital sales in Asia countries sans Japan and few others (Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines) is irrelevant tbh.

Catchy doesn't have to be lazy/stupid/vapid/basic. None asked for a full on S&S kind of songs either. I mentioned Alt. Country as well, something that She promised us back in 2007.

Plus She's a Ryan Adams stan, so I take that She knows how to make fun, "trashy" song that is still interesting. Dead serious abt it, I mean, just listen to Rock N Roll, III/IV, and Cardinology. "BeGOD Again" sounds like it could come from Ryan Adams.

Since this base is so dead, I considered that Red era is officially done, until I realized they havent released any deluxe tracks except TMIK ( which also has been removed )

[Icannot]

Guess we should ask a mod to lock this base for the time being.

[Great Username]

Maybe we'd post more if WPs weren't given out any time someone says anything remotely interesting.

Isn't the target deal for one year already over
Probably she will release the other two bonus tracks in Jan/Feb I guess

[Hunter_13]

Or not at all cause Directioners will be stupid ***** and try to claim they're about that ugly cretin.

[holyground]

We're all busy obsessing over Beyonce that's why

Releasing Come Back... Be Here 1 year after she broke up with Harry?
Please do not do it, the Lord
