I'm intrigued... I'm sure she's going to deliver this time again.

I really hope this will be country friendly too so it can get that mass format play. Judging from the new Jason Aldean song and its reception at country radio I think she'll be able to debut Top 20 at that format too no matter how polarizing the song may be. I think with a Clear Channel deal she'll be able to debut Top 20 across all her formats again: Country, Pop, Hot AC & AC.

I think with a Clear Channel deal she'll be able to debut Top 20 across all her formats again: Country, Pop, Hot AC & AC. A "clear channel deal," which is nowadays typically used for literally every single big pop star on the planet, may benefit her in country and pop, but if the song isn't country-sounding, it won't get her far. Even with a country remix for WANEGBT, the single peaked right outside the top 10, and that was with the help of the deal. Judging by the little info we have, it doesn't seem like it'll be aiming at country success. All eyes are on her at this point, not just country. There's a much larger group of people and a much bigger genre she has to cater to. To be quite honest, I'd rather her give the song a remix and see where it goes instead of having to compromise either sound. Country will be the one to suffer most likely, but that's okay. International audiences and the biggest stations in the US are thirsty for a follow up to I Knew You Were Trouble and WANEGBT.

If the song doesn't work on country she can release a different song for that format after a few weeks. Generally artist that get mainstream success (apart of the typical crossover from time to time) get the cold shoulder from radio stations, and i think even a big name like Taylor suffered it. Only Begin again was big in country from the last album, and even that song suffered to reach the top

Taylor should try what Shania did with COO and UP! Record the album in two different formats (Pop & Country). Shania actually did THREE versions for UP! (International) AND used different musicians for each. If anyone could pull it off - it would be Taylor.

It's coming out August 18th. Probably.
She just posted a video of her clicking the 18 button in an elevator and said it's clue #1.

With the MTV VMA performance confirmed,the new single should be out within the next 3 weeks. Which #newmusictuesday date will it be? August 4th? August 11th? August 18th? Guess we will find out soon. Those are all Mondays. Kinda makes sense now with it rumored for August 18th.

The VMAs are on the 24th, so there were basically two choices -- release the song on the 18th and build to a big performance on the 24th, or perform on the 24th and then release it immediately after, Ariana Grande style. Looks like the former.

I'm coming out of my Pulse hibernation to say that I may have gotten slightly emotional at this news. I hate the phrase "my body is not ready," but I think it is appropriate here.

Coming on the 18th. The only question that remains is will it leak early like Katy Perry's "Roar" did a year ago.

"Mine" leaked, but "We Are Never..." didn't to my remembrance. Usually her team is decent at keeping things under wraps, but I guess we'll find out.
