I’m sure that I’m wrong but I kind of feel like maybe she will still surprise us with an album in between Fearless and RED, like this just seems like a really early announcement and there were a lot of signs for 1989 but I dunno I’m just posting this in case my theory is right and I’ll be able to prove that I called it XD THERE COULD STILL BE HOPE FOR SPEAK NOW (TAYLOR’S VERSION) ON JULY 9 I'D DIEEEEEEEEE

THERE COULD STILL BE HOPE FOR SPEAK NOW (TAYLOR’S VERSION) ON JULY 9 I'D DIEEEEEEEEE I don’t think she’s gonna surprise drop one. There’s already enough marketing confusion. I just think she’s already recorded all of her singles (so they can be used for commercial purposes) and she’s working through the rest of her discography now.

You’re probably right, though. It’s still a little strange that she announced it so early…

I have let my little bit of saltiness pass and now I can say that I am excited for November to get here. c: Besides, I don’t wanna be a party pooper. Nothing wrong with, well, the whole fandom thinking this is her best album. Everyone’s entitled to their opinions, including me. I know when she releases We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (TV), I’m going to be losing it. Then when Treacherous (TV) plays, I’m going to get chills. Probably going to ugly cry while listening to the 10 minute version of All Too Well. Maybe during the vault tracks, too. I just keep thinking about the prologue for this album and it might be my favorite one out of all the albums. It was very comforting and made me feel like finally someone understands. This is the album that I accidentally bought twice because I had an ULTRA blonde moment when I was 15 and didn’t know you could import CDs into iTunes…I WAS NEW TO ITUNES, OKAY?!

Okay but I am S A L T Y that she didn’t make the announcement on Wednesday because what better way to take RED back than by starting off the post with “but on a Wednesday, in a café, I watched it begin again…”
Also, I was just thinking about how The Lucky One (TV) might hurt… After hearing Taylor say Lover might be her last time in the spotlight (even though she’s still crushing it) and thinking about the lyric “and all the young things line up to take your place” because it seems like someone is always being labeled “the next Taylor Swift”. And just how we’ve seen that “living in a fishbowl” is hard on her but I think she’s really been able to escape from the public eye these past few years. But sometimes I wonder if she thought about completely disappearing, like the person she sings about in The Lucky One, back in 2016…

I can barely handle the OG version of all too well... All these years later and I still cry...... A 10 minute version is gonna cripple me XD Mood. Honestly I may just book the day off of work so I can cry and stuff my face with Ben and Jerry’s (or candy cane ice cream cause November…this is off topic) and just cry cause I WILL NOT BE OKAY Red came out when I was in college. I was laser focused to finish as quick as possible. I did some clubs, but it was also a very toxic time in my life when someone had a chokehold on it. It’s someone I talked about before. Hindsight is what it is so it’ll be interesting to revisit that time again with the lens of what I know now. I love Taylor’s albums because they seem to come out in chapters of my own life.

Once again, you're taking the words right out of my mouth. I was in my senior year of high school when RED came out and at the time I was walking away from my best friend of 6 years because I was slowly realizing how emotionally/verbally abusive they were being to me. At the time I couldn't really talk about it with any of my friends because I didn't want to sully their opinions of her but it was really tough to get through. Even now, I can really talk about what was in happening in full detail. There were times where it felt like Taylor and the RED album were the only things that were there for me. Similar to you, I always felt like Taylor's albums came into my life when I needed them to and RED always felt like a life preserver to me (imagine that scene at the end of the cardigan music video where Taylor is in the water and reaching for the piano, now replace that piano with the RED album and I guess that's us). I can't wait to listen back to it with the advantage of time and hindsight but also, I really just miss the RED album and the only way I can listen to it is on vinyl right now (and I still need to paint my record player and put it back together).

I don’t know how I feel??? Like I’m not ready to hear more comments on why rEd iS hEr BeSt AlBuM oF aLl TiMe AnD tHe OtHeRs ArE tRaSh but… 30 songs with one being 10 minutes long??? This has got to be a dream. Honestly, with how much I hate on Red, it’ll be funny if the vault songs make me love it. A while ago, one of my sisters said she likes the songs on folklore and evermore when they randomly play on the radio or Pandora but she doesn’t like the albums as a whole. That must be how I feel about Red. Like when one of the songs comes on my iPod, I’m like “ooo yes” but I’m never like “I have an urge to listen to Red”. Sometimes I wonder if it’s because I’ve never had my heartbroken like that and I can’t relate to the album like everyone else. Although the way she was talking about Red in her post was actually really relatable. I wasn’t prepared to read “The heartbroken might go through thousands of micro-emotions a day trying to figure out how to get through it without picking up the phone to hear that old familiar voice.” and I know she means not turning to an ex partner or friend but it made me think about how I can’t call my Grandma or how I’ll never hear Beau’s or Lucky’s barks again. I just think what she said about this album made me love it or made me finally understand it. OKAY ENOUGH SAD FEELINGS, I’m excited to hear Treacherous and The Lucky One. Treacherous is like my second favorite Taylor song, might still be in the number one spot, and The Lucky One was the surprise song for night 2 of the reputation stadium tour in Atlanta. I love that the album title is kind of on the cover because of her ring. Man, November is too far away…but I am praying that I will have a job by then so I can buy my physical copy and any merch myself. A TEN MINUTE LONG SONG???? SERIOUSLY????? People seemed divided on whether that version of All Too Well seriously existed or not…but, gosh, is it going to hurt! 👍🏻 Me every time the 1989ers tell me 1989 is her best and nothing can compare lmao. I BELIEVE IT EXISTS AND WE ARE GETTING IT. THERE'S BEEN NO OTHER DISCUSSION OF A 10 MINUTE SONG IN TAYLOR LORE. SHE IS FINALLY GIVING IT TO US.

I am DREADING the vinyl release… Taylor I love you, but I dropped $80 on vinyl for you already this year. There are others I need to buy for LOL. I’m also thinking that it being 30 songs it’ll be another 3 disc release. I may just have to put money on a credit card I just paid off to then get it… I gotta do what I gotta do. Yah know kicking out a toxic person is kinda freeing once you have time to get over it and not let them steal your happiness or rather try to control it…. Miss toxic lead me on so many time and it’s like we were “together” I think I’ll appreciate Red this go around! I’m 30 now so Taylor ain’t much older than I am so it’ll be like I know the thoughts looking back. I’ve been out of college for 7 years and it feels like another lifetime ago.

I’m 30 now so Taylor ain’t much older than I am so it’ll be like I know the thoughts looking back. I’ve been out of college for 7 years and it feels like another lifetime ago. I'm at the point where every paycheque I just go "okay I have to budget because Taylor miiiiight drop something this week". The thing that's ,making me nervous is that I have no idea when she plans on dropping the vinyl so it'll be a race to get one before it sells out this time around. Hopefully she drops it before I go to work in the morning and not during. Yeah, I'm passing the 8 year mark since I've graduated from high school and it feels like a different lifetime ago. I'm hoping looking back I'm more in a "holy ground" state of mind and not a "all too well" one. It's just strange though because I can't really look back on high school without talking about this person. Luckily, I'm at the point where I can look back without it hurting as much, which is nice. I actually saw that person at a funeral of one of my other close friends a few months ago and it wasn't so bad...I'm just at the point where I know that I'm no longer in a place where they can hurt me anymore and that's a big relief. All this to say, I'm so happy I can listen to the RED album with some perspective and not while being in the situation I was in.

I spent $150 on record store day drop 1 and I dropped a lot for a new shower…. I’m in no major positions for extra circulars. I think with the state of Black Friday record Store day coming she may hold off on the vinyl release for a bit, but I would love to have it. Yeah it’s been 11 years for me since high school…. God I am old JK haha Idk what I would say to that person who hurt me probably nothing as I have nothing left to say. I may share one day what broke the cart and all, but not on this thread. I’m glad you can look back now with a different perspective. Grief and growth are different for everyone and the timelines for that growth are different too.

Ronan is going to be featured on Red (Taylor’s Version). Maya Thompson (Ronan’s mom) wrote a blog about it here rockstarronan.com/2021/07/30/loving-ro-was-red/Honestly I am SO relieved to hear that Taylor has re-recorded this. No one else should have control to that songs and the proceeds from it.
