Apparently she’s back to being #1 on Spotify’s most streamed artists already over Bey? Kinda annoying tbh when Bey’s (masterpiece) album is still just a few days old and Taylor has zippo being pushed rn, but yeah… TTPD debut is going to be insane honestly. Like between physical sales and streaming, this could seriously end up more impressive than what 25 pulled off in its opening week. Which is not something I ever thought I’d say.

it's already her biggest debut in us with presales alone. it's safe to say that the album will debut with over 2m

This is coming up fast. I wonder if we will get any lead for the project before the album. The hype seems to have died off (I know it’ll pick up when its released, this is the calm before an effing hurricane).

She only really seems to move during release weeks now, so I'm not expecting much until April 19 beyond some Instagram stories or something.

I’m sure if the tracklist hadn’t been leaked so quickly, she’d have done something like Midnights Mayhem to reveal it around now. She hasn’t done a proper lead single rollout since Fearless (Taylor’s Version), and I’m not even sure that counts lol, so you’d have to go as far back as Lover. Seeing how massive folklore and onwards was, she probably figures she doesn’t need it. She also probably just wants to extend those records lmao.
Frankly, I like the idea of going in fully blind (I try to listen to no more than three songs from a given album before it releases), so I’ve thought these rollouts have been quite cool.

I agree. As much as the selfish Stan in me wants a full first single treatment, I have to say I have really enjoyed consuming the album as a whole the last few projects. I actually kind of like it that way now, which I never would have said previously.

If we do get a single, it'll definitely be Friday, a fortnight before the album's release. But I don't think we're getting anything unfortunately.

She will. Today’s media scape moves too fast for what you’re asking for. She’ll do a media blitz right on the cusp of release.

Hype would just be wasted right now. Hype circles are so much quicker now in the streaming age so it would just get burned out.

Hype would just be wasted right now. Hype circles are so much quicker now in the streaming age so it would just get burned out. I mean not really. It’s why we have entire campaigns leading up to songs and albums. Every artist does it. Taylor doesn’t have to do it — but to pretend it wouldn’t have any effect is not accurate. She already knows she will sell 2M+ albums and so it likely doesn’t matter as much to her. Not to say she isn’t going to do promo but her other efforts had stuff going at this point, even if it was minor. Social media with fans was also more alive for her last albums I feel like.

^ How do we know the album's definitely clearing 2 milli first week or are you just speaking generally? Did we get updated presales figures?

I wonder if she'll play any previews of the new album on her Sirius XM station? Just a thought. 🤷🏽♀️ #NotAnExpert 😅

It’s possible she doesn’t want to compete with Beyonce at this point because the conversation is still very much focused around Cowboy Carter. I’ve been seeing several ‘teaser’ accounts saying there’ll be a single out before the album, so if that’s true, it could be any week now. Otherwise, we have the tracklist and covers so there’s not much else to come beforehand.

She’s just letting Ariana and Bey have their moments, I think it’s the right strategy. She will do promo once we get closer. Red TV was a fantastic roll out, and she did basically nothing before release week.

Ya'll she's busy whittling down the Evermore set to only "Champagne Problems" to make room for this.

What ever happened to that champagne problems thing where she was in a huge dress and we saw her from a staircase below singing it.

She should just filmed it for fun while she was getting fitted for the wedding dress for the "I bet you think about me" mv. That's was reveleaded at the time. the "video" in the tweet was the already release "i bet you think about me".

Seriously though, wasn't the promo for Midnights similar? I don't recall hearing anything from the first announcement until the week of the NFL re-announcement.

Yes - album came out Oct 21st, 2022, but she did the 13-episode video series on TikTok ("Midnights Mayhem with Me") starting a month prior on Sept 21st. It ran almost 3 weeks IIRC, so that at least felt like something. It is true, she does the bulk of her promo the week leading up (and other valid points wanting to give Bey and Ari their weeks).

The tracklist reveal was soooo tedious and people hated it at the time, lol. When the tracklist leaked and they rush released the rest of the videos in one night that was a relief.
I'm sure she had some sort of reveal planned for TTPD that was ruined by the tracklist leaking so early. The only other thing she did prior to Midnights release week (iirc) was a few teaser videos talking about a few songs, and she dropped the "Midnights Manifesto" but that was just showing what was happening during release week.
I think she's also aware she was overexposed earlier this year and is saving the blitz for release week and just before.

I actually kind of like it that way now, which I never would have said previously. I kinda like how we have to wait. Sometimes artists release singles and it doesn't fully make sense until you've listened to the whole album. Saying that, it's always nice to get a single. Or a snippet. I think she knows though that she doesn't need any singles to promote her album. The buzz is already there.

I think she also wants a break. She’s been on the road for 13 months and has some downtime before her world gets nuts again on the 19th. I think we will see promo the few days leading up to it and then she will be on top of the world again from there.
I also agree she is letting Bey have her (deserved) moment.
