I really like Evermore but I don’t think there’s anything on there that desperately needs to be played on her next tour. My favourite songs on there are the Bon Iver and The National features but they’re not exactly essential cuts for a live set. Bringing Justin Vernon on for a Pyramid headliner set didn’t exactly go too well last time either.

I think Evermore is a great record. Could have been a tighter record, but there’s some really top tier tracks on there. Hard to follow up one of the greatest records of all time, but as a Folklore 1.5 it’s still a great album.

Wow, talk about hyperbole.

I'd be shocked if it's in the top 1000 records of all time.

Yeah I think I largely agree. When you’re condensing such a massive back catalogue to 24 or so songs it’s hard to see much from it making the cut. I think Willow gets played either on its own or part of a medley but that’s all I’d expect.

Id personally love to see Gold Rush, Tis the Damn Season and Long Story Short. If you’re making a Folklore/Evermore super mix, those two tracks definitely make the cut for me but I think there’s next to chance they get aired on this tour.

I do think Justin would blow the roof off the pointy one if he came out for Exile though. I suspect most Taylor fans have that near the top of their setlist wishes for the tour. Whereas not sure Woods featured high on the Kanye fan wish list…

Now THAT is hyperbole. It's one of the best albums of this decade so far. Which isn't saying much as we're only 3 years into it, but even so it is a great album.

My issue with Evermore is that other than 1-2 songs I prefer pretty much every song on Folklore and as an album I prefer Folklore. So when I'm choosing what to listen to I always put Folklore on.

I think if we get a greatest hits we'll get a 3 (the trilogy as a melody/Then Justin comes out) from Folklore and maybe 1 from Evermore.

She does it every major tour, will normally do 2-3 a night. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I know. She should knock it on the head.

[CaledonianGonzo]

If we don't get the 10 minute All Too Well and instead Marshall Mathers comes out to do his edgy raps for 90s dads

I agree, but I think they’re more likely on this tour than ever, unfortunately.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

the Enchanted/Wildest Dreams mashup on the 1989 tour was straight up fire. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Maybe - but none of us saw that cos we were at the G watching (checks notes) Kanye West and The Who 

[brettredmayne]

Next Friday , setting my alarm early and just going for a walk along the coast to just take the album in 

[chazwwe]

Do we even know what type of album its gonna be? Pop focused? Alternative/folk?

Guardian feature suggests pop - but not based on very much:

Snapes has interviewed Swizzle at home before so *may* have some inside intel. But who knows...

If she can manage a banger of an album like 1989, after bridging the indie gap and the people who got into her because of Folklore come along, its gonna do numbers. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Personally I'm hoping for the Stevie Nicks pastiche era. Stop Draggin' My Heart Around / Because The Night / Pat Benatar vibes.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

The song title reveal videos were giving off a rustic vibe which led me to very optimistically hope for a successor to Red. But I’m sure whatever we get will be incredible, even the LDR collaboration. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fuck a rustic vibe. Soft Rock Swizzle is what the fans demand.

[jparx]

There was an early rumour before the album was even announced that she was working on stuff that was reminiscent of Stevie Nicks so I’m hoping that turns out to be true.

I’m not on Instagram and it won’t let me watch the video, what’s it saying?
