Once “Lavender Haze” ends its run on the pop format, what song from Taylor’s “Midnights” do you guys think should be the 3rd single?

I think she should forego the next single off Midnights and take advantage of one of those songs that are doing good on streaming like All Of The Girls You Loved Before or Cruel Summer.

It's not my favorite, but I would for 'Karma' for its accessibility/memeability, or maybe 'Midnight Rain' if it had a remix with The Weeknd or someone big. If 'Lavender Haze' had a bit of a tough time at radio then 'Maroon' would definitely struggle, and 'Bejeweled' already had its moment.
But I am 100% here for an actual 'Cruel Summer' push next. A part of me thinks Taylor could be interested in participating in this trend of pushing old music and somehow doing it better than everyone else, but she also might be above it.
Honestly, we'll probably get nothing and just be over here sad girling.

Honestly, why not. Cruel Summer blowing up on streaming out of nowhere is amazing, let's go all in. Then return to the Midnights era for Midnight Rain. Then IDK we might have another TV by then, let's do a vault track, then go back to Midnights I guess for Karma, then maybe another leaked tracked, then something old that goes viral on TikTok.
At this point, Taylor doesn't have any eras, her entire discography has been morphed into one and the order is nonsensical and I'm kind of living for it. This seems to be happening all across the board with even Sia and The Weeknd landing hits from past albums recently, Kate Bush snagging one 4 decades later, etc. The industry is wild as fuck right now, and Taylor is at the forefront of "fuck it, throw it at the wall let's see what happens" and it's amazing.

"Midnight Rain" seems to be the best option? That or "Bejeweled." But seriously probably just go with "Cruel Summer"

As the person who made the thread, I should be answering as well. To me, “Bejeweled” could be an easy one as it already has a music video. “Question…?” could also be a good successor to “Lavender Haze” as it’s also a promotional single like “Bejeweled”. Also, when the album historically took over the Hot 100, “Anti-Hero” and “Lavender Haze” peaked at numbers 1 and 2 respectively, so “Maroon” could be a good choice since it peaked at number 3.

Not convinced there will be one, but I assume it's between Midnight Rain (more likely) and Karma (less likely).

i had this convo a lil while back in the lavender rain thread but to recap my thoughts:
bejeweled would be the easy pick if they didn't already release the video for some reason
karma is the other most pop friendly pick but it runs the risk of reinforcing taylor's "smug" image and getting potentially polarizing callouts as a result (whether that's deserved is another convo)
midnight rain has the best streaming but runs the risk of alienating radio
maroon i guess is worth mentioning as the other pick i've seen people throw around but i feel like that pales in single potential compared to the other three (despite it + bejeweled being my favs from the album)
they *could* just release something new (which might be the plan with atgyel rising on radio) but as a non taylor stan who genuinely thinks midnights is a great to fantastic album, that would make me sad :(

The only other song I could see radio embracing is Bejeweled but I feel like it already had its moment in streaming.
I say return focus to the TV releases. Give us Speak Now TV or 1989 TV and send a vault track to radio.
As much as I would enjoy a Cruel Summer release, I think it would be better to only release it if it truly goes viral similar to Bloody Mary or Die For You.

As much as I would enjoy a Cruel Summer release, I think it would be better to only release it if it truly goes viral similar to Bloody Mary or Die For You. It's at #66 right now. I think 'Die For You' was in the upper teens and 20s when it was sent to radio, and with Christmas thing got murky for 'Bloody Mary'. I think it's fair to say 'Cruel Summer' should we be pushed when it's around that level. EDITED TO ADD: So I looked into it and 'Die For You' was #28 with around 530K streams when it was serviced to radio while Bloody Mary was deep in the 100's (because of Christmas) with only around 330K streams (the week prior had been over 400K, but Christmas). I think it's pretty fair for 'Cruel Summer' to get this treatment. |
