#and that it’s 1989 first not rep

[wavesoutbeingtossed]

The closer we get to TTPD the more I wonder if the eventuality of releasing rep tv down the line kinda gives her the ick lol

[peaceforafortnight]

taylor just added a fourth 1989 outfit and this is very interesting to me and here’s why. this outfit has a yellow top and orange skirt, with mis/matching yellow and orange boots (yellow on her left, orange on her right). on the first three nights, the boot on her left foot matched her skirt, now she’s flipped it.

also, night 2 featured an orange top and purple skirt, meaning the outfit exists completely in orange (it also completely exists in pink as seen on nights 1 & 3). however, on night 2, taylor wore the yellow/gold boot on her right foot instead of the orange one. maybe somebody grabbed the wrong boot in the dark tbh. but i feel like maybe it means something, because of the flip on night 4. she clearly has two of each boot, so she could have gone back to the skirt/left foot color match for n4 but she wore the the left gold boot (the one not worn n2). she may be trying to point our attention to something yellow/gold or possibly orange (also two new orange outfits so far not including 1989)

[lobotomizedlady]

do you wanna share the six bearable songs from midnights... six is such an impressive number because i couldn't name more than two or three at best. one if we only look at the original tracklist. that was a torture to get through. (how can i blame this on tr*vis k*lce).

would've could've should've, hits different, maroon, karma (idc what anyone says I'm forever a karma is a cat defender, I understand the vision not my fault if others don't), those are the ones I genuinely really like. then there's a few more that I think are decent and a handful I'm indifferent on and a few I loathe (question I'm looking at you ugly). but I'm not a total midnights hater tbh just a middler. Taylor has not put out an album that I categorically hate thus far

[hopeofitalll]

I rly think we’re going to have Rep and debut by the end of this tour tbh. And if we don’t, I’m not going to be upset, this isn’t like a delusional fan theory begging for music kind of thing. I think she’s on top of the world, and financially and everything it makes sense to re-release her old music right now. And she’s probably ready to clear the way for her next project to totally shine on its own, especially considering how massive and successful this tour and the eras era has been

[sheiscoming]

feel like starting some drama. in no order 1989 reputation and lover are taylors “worst” albums

[fingertipsmp3]

I wonder if Taylor knows she’s releasing Speak Now TV tomorrow

[ddelicatemp3]

we really do flip flop between what tv albums we think are next

[daenerys-targaryen]

what’s your current album ranking?

Based on how often I listen to the albums themselves plus the song skipping 🫣

[tpdtaylor]

IS ANYONE GOING TO TALK ABOUT ENCHANTED PLAYING ON THE VIOLIN IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MUSIC VIDEO????

[drivemysoul]

i literally regret not going to rep tour every single time i think about it and the fact i probably can't go to mdinights tour is making me so sad

[favroitecrime]

my friend got into t*ylor s*ift prior to like… everything rn and as a result in july she had me indulge in some songs she enjoyed in each album. anyway i’m not a fan/s*iftie for so many reasons but i think my song choices is def a reason considering almost every time i talk she goes ‘🤨’

why I think taylor's rerecords are in the order that they are

Taylor could have easily published her rerecorded albums in the order they were originally released, but she didn't. Instead, she used the albums to craft a narrative, one about a reclamation of her power.

Four of the six albums have titles that are relevant to this narrative: Taylor Swift, Fearless, 1989, and Reputation. Fearless was a natural choice for the first rerecorded album -- the title is a statement, a middle finger to Scooter Braun. Through publishing Fearless first, Taylor is publicly stating that she is not afraid to reclaim what is hers.

The other three albums listed above have personal titles: Taylor's name, birth year, and, well, reputation. Of these three, it makes sense to put 1989 first, as someone's birth year is less often talked about than their name or reputation. It may not be less personal than the other two things, but it's less often brought up. 1989 is also three years older than Rep, so publishing it first allows more time between the original Rep album and the rerecord.

Unless we're incredibly mistaken, Rep will be the fifth album to be rerecorded. This one had to come towards the end of the list, as it couldn't be rerecorded earlier than 2022. Reclaiming Rep as the second to last album, though, allows Taylor to do something very powerful: as the final rerecording, she will reclaim her own name. After she takes back Taylor Swift, all her music will be hers again, and Scooter Braun will no longer hold power over her.

So now we have the first, fourth, fifth, and sixth spots in the rerecord list occupied. What about Red and Speak Now? If Taylor had published Speak Now as the second rerecorded album, the rerecords would have been published in the exact same order as they were the first time, except for Debut coming last. By releasing Red second, Taylor established that she was releasing the rerecords in a different order, thus facilitating Debut being the final rerecorded album.

This ordering crafts a narrative of Taylor taking back what is hers: it begins with a statement that she does not fear the person who took her music from her, then builds as she reclaims her career, her past, and what is important to her. Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) will be the culmination of this effort: a final reclamation of her identity and power in the face of Scooter Braun. I, for one, am very excited to see that happen.
