Oh I forgot to link the tweet. However this particular insider has been very reliable as of late, so I have a good feeling.

Yes I agree. 99% sure she didn't want to overshadow Ed and Lorde for whatever the latter is worth.

Wait but why would we be getting "Ours" TV? I mean, I'm sure Speak Now TV has been recorded by now, but for Red TV era, giving us a Speak Now track (even as part of a soundtrack) makes no sense imo lol.
I would absolutely be here for it tho of course lmao.

Post by schnetzka on Jul 22, 2021 16:24:47 GMT -5
So Red is coming in November but Ours is re-recorded, Wildest Dreams is re-recorded and I'm sure more. I really don't understand the timing of these things.

Just managed to snag the "meet me behind the mall" vinyl! Same! I was sad that we didn’t end up getting those seven other CD/vinyl editions, because I would’ve blown my money in a heartbeat. As for the merch—I thought it was all very cute actually, particularly the grey/white hoodie/sweats combo. But it’s all so overpriced that I just got the “meet me behind the mall” vinyl and called it a day lmao. Does anyone know where I can get the other vinyl editions (and the CDs for that matter) for prices that AREN’T exorbitant?

I tried to look for them on Amazon and they are selling at ridiculous prices. I think the only way to get them for a semi-affordable price is through her website, maybe we'll get lucky and they will sell again. I still want the dark green one! I also liked the merch, but since I'm outside of the US, the shipping is far too expensive

According to Billboard, these were Taylor's album sales as of July 14, 2019: Taylor Swift: 5.72M Fearless: 7.18M Speak Now: 4.68M Red: 4.45M 1989: 6.19M Reputation: 2.23M And these were her sales for her first six albums as of October 25, 2020: Taylor Swift: 5.75M (+30K) Fearless: 7.21M (+30K) Speak Now: 4.71M (+30K) Red: 4.49M (+40K) 1989: 6.25M (+60K) Reputation: 2.28M (+50K) Could these gains be attributed to people buying these albums, or to inconsistencies on Billboard's part? If the former is true, can expect Taylor's first eight albums to all eventually hit 2M+, and perhaps her first five albums could all hit 5M+ pure sales?

I’m very happy Taylor acknowledged the first anniversary of what could be her most monumental release ever. Happy birthday folklore🤍
Also, she was totally right to suggest they strip back the song. The album version is far superior. Less is more.

The album version is far superior. Less is more. I understand why she preferred the album/less is more version, but honestly, I just like a more is more version. 😩 It just pops more and it feels like you’re being taken to the place she’s evoking in the song; stripping back the song brings out more of the longing emotion because you’re not at that place (which is a great choice, just not my preference).

Happy birthday folklore! The extra strings are great but I think I prefer the album version because I don't like the beats that come in on the original version.

I like the original version. Sounds less intimate, but like a more fitting closer. It's almost anthemic.

I am with you, if she put the rest of the alternate covers up, I'd get them all! I already have the "in the trees" and "running like water" covers, so this new one will be #3 for me.

I’m very happy Taylor acknowledged the first anniversary of what could be her most monumental release ever. Happy birthday folklore🤍 Also, she was totally right to suggest they strip back the song. The album version is far superior. Less is more. Maybe it's because I'm still riding the high of its release, but I disagree--at least somewhat. The album version makes sense in the album (I listened to folklore intentionally using the original version in place of the album's version and it didn't flow quite as well with "hoax"), so she was right in that. But on its own this original version is FAR superior, and if she had decided to take "the lakes" to radio, this version perhaps could've done something imo. Same! I was sad that we didn’t end up getting those seven other CD/vinyl editions, because I would’ve blown my money in a heartbeat. As for the merch—I thought it was all very cute actually, particularly the grey/white hoodie/sweats combo.

I am with you, if she put the rest of the alternate covers up, I'd get them all! I already have the "in the trees" and "running like water" covers, so this new one will be #3 for me. This will be #2 for me :'( I also would've gotten the three other CD editions ("hide-and-seek," "running like water," "clandestine meetings") that were available upon the restock/new merch release, but they're already gone. I did cave and get the hoodie/sweats combo I mentioned. $130+ after tax but I just couldn't help myself--it's easily the best thing (aside from the cardigan) from the folklore/evermore era merch imo

The original version of the lakes isn’t epic enough to make it better than the album version, it just falls flat. I don’t really mind though as it’s by far my least favorite song on folklore

The original production is absolutely stunning, but I can see why she stripped it back. The original bonus track fits more cohesively into the rest of the album. I think I love the OG even more because it sounds so whimsical. I can't make up my mind.
I do feel that 'the lakes' is going to be one of my all-time favourite Taylor songs in the years to come. It's a really special song.

It feels so weird that everything is so quiet after over a year of news and excitement.
To think it began in May/June 2020 with a fake out of "Cruel Summer" being tested at Pop radio only for "cardigan" and Folklore to suddenly materialize a few weeks later.
It felt like everytime we turned around something was happening, single performances at different radio genres, vinyl shipments and packages causing Billboard 200 resurgences, the double-whammy of evermore suddenly coming in December, Fearless (TV) suddenly coming in the Winter/Spring.
