Incident will know.

Thank god.

Lol. Genuinely thought the tracks would just be ”midnights track” 1-13.

Yeah we’re gonna need someone more on trend to report back here.

Taylor, after the album and before Christmas.

Jack Antonoff tweeting about midnights. Just vague stuff but presumably he’s worked on the record. Dunno if it suggests something is dropping soon?

She could have done the same thing but with the lead single on vinyl instead, charging £10 a pop. But to be honest, you don’t HAVE to buy it, you can still get the album free with your Spotify subscription. I’m not sure I’m that offended by people charging so much for limited edition stuff. If you can’t afford it you’re not missing out on the core experience. No different to video games coming in at £100 for limited editions with extra fluff. I’ll be much more annoyed if gig tickets for her tour end up coming in like the Springsteen tickets.

aaaanyway

It’ll be the backing track. Most pop singers nowadays have a backing track especially over choruses. The show is definitely live.

Just been watching this in the background Really interesting seeing how she mixed up tunes on this tour. Trouble sounds like a mess, this version definitely got better as the tour went on but here it sounds like everyone is on a different page. But the big question - anyone else hoping the 80s synthpop Love Story makes a return? Love that version.

To be honest, my belief has always been if you’re going to accept the privilege of being an unelected head of state, you also have to accept the criticism of actions your country takes regardless of whether you directly ordered them. You can’t accept a life of immense privilege, wealth and security but wash your hands of what the country does during your reign. That’s having your cake and eating it. You have to share in that blame.

Wow, interesting booking! Change of tactic for the legend slot or forced by not being able to book the traditional mega novelty act?

Eh that’s pretty old, and she probably didn’t have a clue who it was. She’s been pretty vocal about her politics in the last couple years and I think it’s clear she wouldn’t support our current govt.

Taylor is the master of the b-side, deluxe edition stuff. The Lakes is one of the best tracks on that record. And then New Romantics, Wonderland, You Are In Love…Imagine not being able to squeeze those tracks on to your records?!

Folklore and Evermore are ripe for medleys, unfortunately. I think Cardigan and Exile get played in full but then 5 or 6 more will get rattled through as medleys.

Hence why it’s so crucial she’s at Glastonbury! Don’t fancy being in that scrum for Wembley tickets whatsoever. Yeah Glastonbury is a pain, but we’ve got a group trying and I feel fairly confident on getting tickets each year. And you know the price won’t suddenly shoot up to £500 with that surge malarkey

Yeah I’d take that!

Oh yeah no doubt. Undoubtedly one of her biggest bangers live though.

Someone still needs to walk out to their most famous, biggest banger tune. Macca was close, but I’d just walk out to Shake it Off 😂 Someone needs to do it just to see the explosion of energy on that field.

I’m 100% with you there 😀I’d have a complete breakdown if she walked on to that.

Yeah I think that’s inevitable unfortunately. Personally rather not see medleys, especially for belters like Style, but I’ll take what I can get.

If the new album is more rock focussed I think she opens with either a new tune, or something like State if Grace

Sure hope so, but I’m wondering if she’ll wait until the album comes out to keep some mystery over what the record will sound like?

What’s your interest in this new record Jass, as a non-convert thus far? These rumours it’s a rock style/Steve Nicks inspired album doing anything for you?
