She announced Folklore and Evermore less than 24 hours before release so who knows anymore lmao. Really? I thought they were announced at least a few weeks prior to release. Did people not suspect albums were coming from the singles she released before Folklore and Evermore? lol the singles she released before folklore were from Lover, a completely different album. folklore was unexpected due to the pandemic shutting things down, and it was announced just 16 hours before it was released. The same went for evermore, which was unexpected because who besides Beyoncé drops s**t out of the blue?

Did people not suspect albums were coming from the singles she released before Folklore and Evermore? She released the singles alongside the album. There was no prior knowledge that she was creating music. It came out of nowhere.

I await the day when men are no longer given platforms to gaslight and lie to the general public.

Did people not suspect albums were coming from the singles she released before Folklore and Evermore? folklore's lead single was cardigan, released the same day as the album. evermore's lead was willow, also released the same day as the album. No one knew either of those albums were coming until a day before. Hell, the label didn't even know about folklore until the same time we did.

I remember lurking in the Lover thread last year well before Folklore came out and there were several people talking about Cardigan and Folklore. I guess I must be misremembering.

I remember lurking in the Lover thread last year well before Folklore came out and there were several people talking about Cardigan and Folklore. I guess I must be misremembering. Don't worry, I got the timeline! All of this is from the Lover thread. June 8th 2020: an "insider" who has since deleted their account said "something major is coming." Some speculated maybe new music, particularly a major collab, but most thought it was some personal announcement (engagement, pregnancy, deal with Scooter). Taylor herself is silent. June 9th: the same "insider" gives us a hint. The hint was a definition of something. (We would later figure out it was the definition of the word "folklore.") Taylor is still silent. June 16th: the same "insider" reveals a second hint. This hint was also a definition. (Which I immediately figured out was the definition of the word "cardigan" and this lead people to think of a Cardi B collab lol.) No word from anyone except this insider still. June 17th: "Cruel Summer" appears under Cool New Music. This furthered the speculation of a Cardi B remix, killing all speculation for new music. July 23rd: Taylor announces folklore and "cardigan." July 24th: folklore releases alongside "cardigan"'s music video.

Didn't TroublemakerOlly have some inside info about something? Or was it someone else? I wanted to say it was that calmwaters person but I seem to recall that was just an overzealous stan who couldn't take any criticism against Taylor. Steve IC or something? Or is that person still here?

^ Steve is the one who dropped clues about cardigan and folklore.
Olly liked my post about thinking something else is coming... so... *conspiracy theory here*

Going for that 1 year anniversary #1. How insane is it that it hasn't even been a year since Folklore dropped? We have had two additional eras since then. She works hard AF.

I really really like the RED TV cover, it's a very good picture. But I kinda wish she had kept it closer to the original one, which is iconic. Ah well.
Excited to hear it! It's neck and neck with 1989 as my favorite Taylor album.

Then I realized I had already seen it but had mistaken it for an Evermore outtake, which I assumed she was using as a placeholder. It is very pretty, but why she did reuse this old picture?

Taylor is expected to feature on a new song probably by Bon Iver which was teased months ago.

Lol, I had no idea who/what Big Red Machine was (and hadn’t kept an eye on this thread for the last couple days), so when I saw the countdown on her Instagram I thought “Big Red Machine” was some massive sideswipe against Big Machine/Scott Borchetta ahead of the Red rerelease.

Not sure if this is of interest to anyone but was curious about which of Taylor’s songs are close to achieving 100K spins on Spotify.
London Boy 99,316,483 Cornelia Street 99,304,546 Miss Americana 98,772,861 Mine 97,970,466 I Think He Knows 97,791,962 Seven 97,265,354 This Is Me Trying 95,858,692 Illicit Affairs 94,671,890 Dancing With... 92,574,914 All You Had To... 92,390,470 Enchanted 91,064,982 Death By 1K Cuts. 90,824,990 Afterglow 89,318,713
It’s so nice to see Lover do so well as a whole as I f**king love the album.

"Cornelia Street" should be one of the highest-streamed songs of her entire catalog. Ugh, COVID ruined everything, the Lover era included.

Can't wait for Taylor's collaborations with Big Red Machine. Nice to see Taylor doing non-mainstream collaborations recently,"Gasoline" with HAIM was great sad that it got overlooked this year.

Very excited to hear the new song, sounds like a collab made in heaven
While we’re on the Lover love, “It’s Nice to Have a Friend” is still THAT song. Overall that album is the one I want to live in.

"Renegade" is out now. I can see it being her biggest airplay hit in quite awhile.

I ADORE “Renegade,” holy f**k. What a song. I’m even more perched for “Birch” now. Yes, maybe I let that intentionally rhyme 😉
