Taylor Swift – Lover

[nickd]

The Christmas song is cute.

Also...

I love the song. So catchy. Hopefully it can make its way into the list of Christmas classics and enter the chart every year.

[Lumi]

CAN SHE PLEASE LET US BREATHE. PLEASE. (but also keep going)

[otternobetter87]

“Christmas must be something more” remains superior but it’s cute.

[Taylor.]

Her Christmas EP is available for streaming now, as well.

Friday night beneath the stars, in a field behind your yard... 🥰



I’d love it if Taylor performed/recorded an acoustic pop version of this song 💕

I’ve loved this song forever. A total gem

[nickd]

I'm Only Me When I'm With You is a really fun song, the production just needs to be updated a bit because it's kind of cheap.

Taylor. her Christmas EP was on Spotify for a while but I think it was kind of hidden. I could listen to it but it wasn't on her Spotify page so it was hard to find.

Also Taylor Swift was the most streamed artist, male or female, on Amazon Prime this year. It's the fastest growing streaming service so that could help explain why she was often over-performing compared to Hot 100 chart predictions.

Lover just passed Thank You Next in total SPS. Passing Billie is a sure bet at this point so she should end up with the top-selling and 2nd biggest SPS album of the 2019 calender year! Werk.

I wouldn’t be so sure about passing Billie. Billie’s album is still streaming and selling very well and I suspect she’ll hace a big night at the Grammys which will bring a lot of attention to her album. A big night at the Grammys can spark huge boosts for new artists. Of course I hope Lover passes it. I think we’ll need another hit single or two.

I still think it very likely she will. I think Taylor will have a stronger Christmas boost, plus is much earlier on in her album cycle to mind the gap over time (not to mention a Grammy performance and potential win could give her a boost there as well). Taylor's album has potential for a few more hit singles (not saying smashes, just hits). Billie's album doesn't have as much potential left single wise. It won't happen right away, but will happen over time IMO. The only scenerio I could see making things more difficult is Billie sweeping at the Grammys and subsequently producing another hit single from the album or re-releasing. Grammy boosts aren't generally nearly as big as they once were either way.

CTF debuted at a very whelming #50 on Spotify with about 500k. Hopefully it repeaks close to Christmas.

[nickd]

Taylor is going to be closing the gap on Billie during the holidays, I agree, but after that... Billie's album is already back ahead of Lover in SEAs, with a lead of around 15%, which means that after the holidays are over, the gap will probably stop closing. New singles don't boost albums that much these days either, probably no more than the Grammys would for Billie.

I hope Lover Fest can boost it like Reputation Tour did with Reputation. Spending a few more weeks in the top 20 and maybe one inside top 10 would be amazing.

4 shows that are very highly priced and most likely attended primarily by hard core fans who already own the album probably won't give a very big boost compared to 38 shows that are going to have a lot more casual fans who showed up for her older music but ended up being sold on the new album after seeing it performed on stage.

The bar is Billie? Sad times. Taylor is on a league of her own. That cute little festival she's doing is evidence of it.

[kamala 2024 truther]

Taylor was surprised with a 30th (I just can't process that number) birthday party at the Jingle Bell Ball

[born]

She debuted "London Boy" and "Christmas Tree Farm" tonight!

[justlurkingaround]

“Beautiful Ghosts” has been nominated for a Golden Globe.

And hopefully an Oscar as well! I hope this song wins both, she much deserves it! I love this song so much and I can't wait to hear what else she's written for the CATS movie.

Look at her trying to get votes from country...

She wasn't asking for country votes because she isn't nominated for country. She's trying to get the votes for Song of the Year. (ETA: wait it was in the country airchecks wasn't it   it's gonna take a return for you to get those votes Taylor. You oughta know how country's industry is.)

I love the tagline..."Because the decade's most prolific songwriter has never won the Grammy's Song of the Year." TELL THEM! Seems like she's campaigning for this award the hardest?

[bgood2me]

Good cuz she surely deserves it. The lyrics to Lover are beautiful and perfect. The way she denies HUSBAND the rhyme during the bridge... magical.

The 50 Best Albums of 2019: Staff Picks

3. Taylor Swift, Lover
Whether GLAAD-handing with glee on “You Need to Calm Down” or protesting institutionalized sexism with incisive economy on “The Man," Lover is Taylor Swift’s most socio-political effort so far -- but it’s also a welcome return to the sillier side of Swift that’s been largely absent from recent efforts. Her effervescent self-effacement is on delirious display on “London Boy” (where she celebrates her British beau while goofily attempting U.K. jargon) and the spoken-word waltz interlude on “Lover” is a masterclass in mixing self-mockery with romantic sincerity. From synth-bops to acoustic laments, we’ve heard these sounds from Swift in the past, but never before has she sounded so comfortable, mature and downright happy delivering them. -- J. Lynch
