She should announce it at the SB! Not like she can’t afford filming a commercial for it

Is anyone else bothered by how Swifties have been demanding Reputation TV for weeks/months? She released a brand new album in late 2022 and two re-records, including her biggest album pre-Midnights at least, in 2023. I feel there was huge hype for 1989, and then when it dropped it was forgotten about a week later, with all focus moved onto Reputation. I don’t think people realise we only have two re-recordings left, savour it while it lasts instead of wishing it away. I feel Speak Now barely gets the recognition it deserves, and was immediately shoved aside for 1989. These newer fans don’t know the struggle of having to wait years for an album
I should add this isn’t about anyone specific on here, or even the previous conversation. I’ve been thinking this basically since 1989 came out, and it’s mostly Twitter stans

This goes for all stans on there fyi, but I get a lot of Taylor in my algorithm, so I tend to forget about the others I come across.) And to what I bolded; RIGHT? In this day and age we get spoiled with music, but many of us will recall the normal 2-3 year wait for artists to release new music. I think it makes us much more patient than the younger crowd.

i would be bothered if the clamorings are for TS11, but considering the re-recording project would turn 3 years soon and Reputation is the biggest one left (the original is still in the top 20 in BB200) it's very understandable that people want it out soon. besides, isn't not like Taylor didn't move on from 1989 TV quickly too, and while the build up to release is quite long it's pretty obvious that by now Taylor and her team wanted to get the TVs out quickly and move on instead of drawing them out

I don't feel any type of way about people clamoring for Reputation (TV) tbh as Taylor herself is personally responsible for fostering this air of mystery/suspense/guessing around her eras and keeping fans relentlessly enticed/intrigued, looking for and trying to decode the slightest clues to estimate release dates and upcoming material. You can't say you'll hide the tinest clues in the cleverest ways, sometimes 3 years in advance, without knowing exactly what you're cultivating within your base.

It’ll probably be announced within a couple weeks anyway.

I largely agree with what you are getting at Dylan :) but these are just re-recordings of songs everyone already knows and some are not streaming the (stolen versions) as they await the (Taylors Versions) so it makes a little more sense. On the other hand, 90% of the redone ones are worse than the originals, so its hard for me to even be excited they are coming at all. She should have just dropped all of these at once 2 years ago, but I get that she wants to set records for #1 albums and stuff. I LOVE Speak Now as well, but the TV eras come and go because they are not eras, they are songs we all know recorded in worse fashion.

I’ll beat the dead horse but yeah, as others have said, this has been the energy created carefully by her team. If we were all screaming for a truly new album after a few months — that would be a lot. These are re-recordings that she wants out there to stop putting money into others hands.
Also, I highly doubt anybody (fans included) want these rerecordings to continue after the tour is done. There is a little bit of an energy out there I think that fans and her are ready to wrap up these releases. If this draws on much longer, people will get bored (some already are).

I for one would like the re-releases to be done by 2025. I’d love for Taylor to close this chapter and move on to even bigger and brighter things and new career highlights.
IION should peak soon so an announcement around the time it peaks works so there’s a few months to prepare for the rep single.

Agreed I would think she would want the re-releases to wrap up along with the “Eras Tour” so she can move into a new chapter of her career.

I am probably a fossil by today's standards because I still listen to music off an iPod. Because of this, I still listen to all of her original albums, not the Taylor version.
I have listened to some versions on YouTube and thought, " Wow, this is improved greatly or her voice is so much stronger here."
However, some of the recordings are missing that oomph or spark. I don't blame her because you aren't going to be as invested into a song as you were ten years ago. I am sure at the time she thought some of the heart breaks and misery would destroy her. Now she is older and wiser, singing with a different lense. You cant possibly reclaim that original spark.
As a fan, I can say that I do love the vault tracks. It is an exciting glance at what could have been, and there really have been some gems (IBYTAM, ATW10,NTWDT,IION)- to name a few.
Totally understand the plight, and happy that she is reclaiming her albums.However, happy that I can listen to her original albums without feeling guilty.
I am excited for a T11 which will probably come out next year or so. Midnights was a great album. For some reason, it almost feels like a greatest hits album to me. All of the songs are connected to previous songs, with a few new angles and inputs. T11 should be where she is currently now. Her last three albums have been themed albums(Folklore/Evermore -more story-based writing and Midnights - looking back at previous midnights).
Will be nice to see what she comes up with next. All I know is she is hasn't missed yet, so I will be patiently waiting for whats next.

Surprised no one has mentioned the elephant(s) in the room the last few days... The AI scandal, but also the slightly better news of the Super Bowl. Both topics carry a LOAD of stuff to be discussed about, but not a peep from anyone. Are those things not discussed here anymore?

Surely you're not referring to the "AI scandal" as in that lame filter of Taylor's face people are using on TikTok? Because if so, there's no scandal in that? The “AI scandal” is a series of AI-created images of Taylor that are sexually explicit—in other words, someone has pulled a “Famous” on her using AI. It’s not just a lame copy/paste of her face onto another naked woman’s body; these are fake sexual pictures of her, using her likeness from head to toe. These pictures spread like wildfire on social media, to the point Elon blocked searches of Taylor on Twitter (I will never call that app X) and has appointed 100 content moderators. Taylor’s reportedly livid as she has every single right to be, and she’s considering legal action. It’s gotten so big that the White House has commented, and the US government has come up with bipartisan legislation to combat (and if it becomes law, criminalize) nonconsensual, sexual AI-generated images of people. So anyone that uses AI and creates pictures like this would be jailed and/or prosecuted.

I feel like the bigger news is the GOP thinking she is a psyop and that the NFL is rigged. I legit thought it was a joke at first but sadly it's not. I am actually concerned for Taylor's safety. So much of this country is brainwashed and actually believes this BS.

This is out there too, but I was assuming it was just some idiotic, fringe conspiracy stuff, but if some of the mainstream GOP is believing it, that's scary. I was referring more to the good news of her attending the Super Bowl, that it would raise the profile of all parties involved. Taylor - as if she needs it any more, but also Kelce, and the NFL as a whole. I'd expect record ratings this year. You would think the NFL might have pulled some machinations to secure the Chiefs making the finals, but none of this bs about the psyop, etc.

I do not follow Taylor very closely but... As rich as she is...
What does she do with all that money? Does she have a charity/ies? Does she collect art? Is anything known about this? I am just curious. Thanks to anyone who likes to share their knowledge/thoughts.

Assuming she announces it tonight... how does she decide when to announce it? It's highly likely she wins at least one Grammy but equally unlikely that she wins all 6. And ideally you'd want to make the big announcement during the biggest award (AOTY). But if she waits and doesn't win, she misses her shot.
(Unless there are people on her team who get advanced warning...)
