Taylor Swift - Reputation

[Hugo]

Which Coverlandia designer they hired to design that cover?

Exactly what I was thinking! It can't be real, is it? Looks so amateur.

Like something a rapper from 2002 would use for a mixtape.

8 minutes?? She can't possibly be so full of herself

[Biebz]

The haters seem more hyped than the fans

This!

I think she can def debut at #1 with streaming and sales, plus a bit of radio...she's def a big force! Even if it didn't debut at #1, it's very likely for it to do so later when radio picks up

[Bojan]

Fake or not it's 10 times better than all her covers to date.

[Nippian93]

1989 and Red are my favourites.

[MusicRecords]

She's got some pretty good covers actually

Taylor Swift and Speak Now look too innocent/princess like

Fearless is pretty cool!
The Target edition of Red is very nice
The 1989 cover at first was meh to me but now it's iconic
This one looks more mature and dark which is good

[Bojan]

Amateurish is popular now. Many artists are intentionally trying to make something that looks amateurish. That's appealing to teens. Kendrick Lamar for instance. Check his artworks. Or Britney. She was doing that the whole career.

This is really the year of the pop babes. First Katy and then Kesha, then Pink and Miley.

I really hope this don't sound like any of her past effort's otherwise bye Snakeloo.

The same. I hope it's something artistic. The radio will turn her back in less than two years, so she needs a transition.

[MusicRecords]

Since the single comes out tomorrow she would've just told us the name already

[Erotica]

Album of the year is coming

Indeed!



Sept 29th!

A big no to both

[Rihab]

I'm here for her being a lil bit more experimental but bish I'm not here for an 8 minute track, I want her to debut at #1

She can still debut at #1 with her second single (which will probably be a safe, radio friendly pop smash), there's enough time until the album release!

I still kinda doubt it, but there's a chance she'll serve quality (rather than another forgettable Katy cover) with the first single. People would be SHOOK (myself included)!

[Rihab]

Also why not just release the safe, radio friendly track in the first place and leave the more experimental stuff as album tracks?

Also this all entirely hypothetical and the first single probably will be safe and radio-friendly, so why am I asking this?

Because if the first single is anything like SIO, no one who isn't tone deaf will bother with the album.

And I guess she wants to make sure she wins a Grammy next year. Since the album will miss the cut-off date, she can only do it with the first single.

[jszmiles]

another "Style" would be great!

She'd have to date Harry Styles and break up all over again though

Another one in the casket

[Theodorerichert]

I really do like the cover too, but the actual pic of her looks like it was from a long time ago, she almost looks like in her teen years

She always looks a lot younger with out makeup on.

I'm really split on the marketing so far. Deleting all SM posts was a really, really lame marketing ploy. But taking the "snake" meme and making it her own was amazing. Overall I think the 1989 strategy (a streamed announcement party) was better.

8 minutes?? She can't possibly be so full of herself

Wow, so I guess Bob Dylan thought he was the greatest thing EVER. How else would he have the gall to release not one but two ELEVEN minute tracks???

You can totally tell she has makeup on in the cover of this though

Sometimes 8 minute songs don't feel as long though,

I remember I used to jam to Mel C's song Enemy which is 8 minutes long too and it never felt as long...if it's a quality song it'll be a breeze, if it's a disappointment then obviously 8 mins will be a boring snooze fest
