They didn’t even have any prices on - the Wembley diagram was the weird one with seats supposedly right round the back of the stage which provoked that dreary conversation last night. Was almost certainly gonna be wrong and so it has proved.

Ah okay. I must admit I glossed over a lot of the discourse last night 😴 so I missed this...

Listening to Speak Now TV and fuming all over again at only one of these songs being on the setlist

Speak Now feels like the biggest leap in production quality over the original so far. Sounds much better musically IMO. Lots of extra flourish from the guitars.

Isn't the expectation that:

(a) because songs that are in the setlist get streamed a lot, and until today she didn't get paid when Speak Now was streamed, but now she will - and

(b) because she's now going to be promoting Speak Now to coincide with the release...

That lots more of these songs are going to start appearing in the setlist?  I assume we'll find out in Kansas City tonight...

What on earth gets cut though? Can't see anything from Lover through to Midnights being trimmed, and the stuff from the other albums is fairly essentially. Perhaps a track gets trimmed off the Reputation section? 

If you could just add in one track from Speak Now to the regular setlist, what would it be? Long Live all day long for me.

Absolutely agree. The strings on Sparks Fly are gorgeous. The ’vault’ tracks are pretty good this time too, having not been fussed about the ones on Red/Fearless.

Think it’s almost certain she plays a few songs from it tonight to celebrate the release. Whether they’ll stick around for future shows though, not sure 😖

She’s definitely adding more Speak Now to the set (wouldn’t mind if she took off some others in place of the actual belters from Speak Now) and I reckon the surprise songs will be SN focused too this weekend. Someone pointed out Paramore have a gap in their schedule so Castles Crumbling could be tonight! 
also Taylor Nation has encouraged people to wear purple so wouldn’t be surprised if she brings out some new outfits this weekend on theme!

 

Separate q - what song would you be gutted to have as your surprise songs? I think if I got Glitch or Paper Rings I’d be a bit sad haha

Question is - what if 1989 drops before the European tour? Maybe Speak Now is already shafted and we're clamouring for New Romantics instead, and I'll have my "Play Style in full you coward" sign.

Paper Rings is one of our wedding songs so we’d be thrilled to get that 😭 any of Dear John, Snow On The Beach, Me!, I Almost Do, or Last Kiss would be underwhelming but not the end of the world

From what she's said, she won't be playing ones she's done (that she thinks shes done well) again. I don't know if this is just the USA tour though. If it resets when she comes to the EU/UK I don't know. There's not many I wouldn't like to hear but those I would like to are:

Getaway Car
State of Grace
This is me trying
Clean
Out of the Woods.

I also think because Paramore support. we'll get Castle Crumbling most nights, as she did with Phoebe Bridgers and Nothing New, which they seemed to play every night as a 'extra' song in the surprise bit.

Errr yes, there are issues using AXS on an iPhone in particular.  Refresh too many times, and you get banned from the site for an hour.  There is a setting you can switch to avoid this (and videos showing how to do it).

Vinyl just arrived! Stunning and a nice prologue too.

Back to tickets - is this a refresh situation? I’ve seen some people are using the auto refresh extension for this but after you guys saying refresh too many times and you’re banned…

Anything off Folklore would do just dandily, or most songs off Lover that aren’t already in the show (except Me obvs)

Oh yeah I'm sure that will reset for future legs of the tour. She's got a massive back catalogue, but even by Taylor's standards she'd be plumbing the depths if that rule carries over to Europe.

My top 5 surprise songs would be:

  1. Exile w/Justin
  2. Long Live
  3. Holy Ground
  4. Clean
  5. You're on Your Own Kid

Generally I'd rather hear songs that were acoustic on record, rather than electric songs reverted back to their acoustic form. I'd be all over Getaway Car, but I'm less fussed for an acoustic version.

This is a good point actually. Labyrinth would be one of my top choices but no idea how that’d sound on just the guitar/piano

Strangely enough it was desktop I just couldn't get it to work but when using my phone (iPhone) it worked fine.

This Is Me Trying

Holy Ground

This Love

Would've, Could've, Should've

 

Really had to think about whether Maroon beat any of those out but it just lost out.

Would've, Could've, Should've is quietly Taylor's best song I reckon 😀 In fact, the bonus tracks on Midnights are some of her best work for my money. How they didn't end up on a proper album is quite remarkable.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
