Hi! I'm new around here and this is my first post. I wanted to get involved in the community again and this forum seems pretty thorough. Folklore is my favorite Taylor album, followed by Speak Now and Red (I'm country-folk-oriented), and even though this era is nothing like the Lover era, full of promotion, easter eggs and perfomances, I feel perfectly satisfied with what she gave us. I enjoyed the Long Pond sessions immensely, more than any music video she ever released. Give me an acoustic perfomance of a full album over a CGI, overproduced MV anytime Hii even I'm new here! Our taste is pretty similar considering my fav albums are folklore, Red and lover lol.

TAYLOR CONFIRMED SHE WAS SHOOTING A VIDEO IN MID-NOVEMBER EXILE HERE WE COME HIDE YOUR FAVES HIDE YOUR DOGS HIDE YOUR GRANDMAS AAAH Edit: Forgot to paste the link:
The guy she is working with is the same guy she worked with for the Cardigan MV so I am 99% sure it's gonna be for Exile or at least a Folklore song. About time she released a new MV; Exile re-entered the Canadian Hot 100 at no. 83 while Cardigan is nowhere to be found and rose to no. 6 on the Hot Rock and Alternative Songs chart in the US, 4 spots above Cardigan indicating its outperforming Cardigan there too. It even re-entered the Global 200 this week at no. 185.

I have a bad feeling this might be a video for Christmas Tree Farm.

A new music video for the next single is the most logical explanation.

I hope the MV is for "exile" but I'm not too sure if Bon Iver wants to go /that/ mainstream. It could definitely push the song (with some Spotify promo) and do wonders for her Grammy campaign, considering the song is nominated for Pop Duo and is a central piece of the album itself.
I wish we get to see videos for "the 1" and "august" as well, though!

Lover is around what, 2.8 million SPS? In 2019, it moved 2,191,000 SPS according to Nielsen. This year it's moved 823,000 according to Hits. So it should be at about 3,014,000, but strangely I haven't seen anyone anywhere mention that it has passed 3m SPS.

Lover has sold over 3.015 million units as of 2020, pretty good for a 'frontloaded' album with 'no hits'. Also, has anyone noticed that Folklore has the lowest video streams for all albums inside Hits' 2020 album activity chart? We need a video now ma'am. neverduplicated I did.

However it also had around 500K shipments which weren't counted by Nielsen but are included for the RIAA certification calculation so it has sold around 4.93M RIAA units, and should be eligible for 5× platinum by March 2021.

Almost the entire month of December is remaining and sales should be higher due to Christmas approaching so Lover should end this year with 875-900K, and its SPS should be around 3.1M.

I wish we get to see videos for "the 1" and "august" as well, though! Omg Deepston I missed you! I have been checking out the Lover, Reputation, and Delicate threads and you were one of the most prominent contributors there. I have a strong feeling Bon Iver will probably not be in the video. I think it will be another solo video like Cardigan, since the team for both videos will be almost exactly the same. I am excited for the prospects of Exile as a single, but I am also aware it's a post album single that is not really suited for pop radio and that the hype surrounding it has died down. It can either be a Shallow/Blinding Lights type of hit or just fail to chart altogether or perhaps strike a balance between those two extremes and perform like I Don't Wanna Live Forever. Who knows? Radio reception to Exile is gonna be the key to its success. I think it'll be released to radios immediately after Christmas, but I have a feeling she might mess up and release it next week now that she confirmed the video's existence.

I’ve been taking some time off Pulse but you’ll definitely see me a little bit more around here in the future 🥰 As for the success of “exile”, I don’t have big hopes but I feel like it could turn into one of those timeless songs that were not big hits but people stream endlessly. Just like what happened with “Skinny Love” and “The Night We Met”. These songs weren’t huge when they were released but they have racked up a very considerable amount of streams and success and I think that is what will happen for “exile”. So yeah, I’m not expecting it to turn into a big hit but a Spotify push could do wonders!

this could be Taylor's shallow if she wants it to be I have a feeling that while this may not do that well in the US, it could be as big as I Don't Wanna Live Forever across Europe, if not bigger. It's been doing well too consistently and has genuine smash potential. Unfortunately Taylor's success with singles, radio, and Youtube has gone down considerably so I don't think that an unpromoted post-album single released 5 months after the album will do much for her. I just hope that it re-enters the Hot 100 and lingers in the 75-100 range like Begin Again long enough to make it to recurrency and appears on 2021's year end chart, with over 300M streams by the end of the year. If the stars align for her, however, this can be a massive smash.

Judging from Taylor's latest tweet the next video will be released on December 18, and it's most likely one for August.

Judging from Taylor's latest tweet the next video will be released on December 18, and it's most likely one for August. Honestly if she pushes August I would be ecstatic. It is the most upbeat moment on the album and it has critical praise. A killer video with playlisting reach could elevate it. I think on HAC August has potential to do better than Cardigan, but we shall see. However she could also push Exile as it has potential. Honestly if she does not promote August at all I feel August will be this albums Cruel Summer. I hope it is not a video for Christmas Tree Farm as it already has one. However judging by the time (Christmas) I would not be surprised if Taylor would try to give herself a new Holiday classis. We have seen how profitable those song can become (AIWFCIY, even Ari's Santa tell me) and Christmas songs need a few years to stick so promoting her Holiday song every Christmas would not be surprising.

Apparently people think Taylor might have a song with Paul McCartney coming out on December 18 (along with the album McCartney III).

Kim didn't say anything about the song on McCartney's album being the video.
