I'm ready!

 

[Weapxn]

1 minute.

 

[Oozer3993]

*Excitement intensifies*

Edit: Don't fall!

 

[Mau ®]

Not Yahoo's stream crashing on me before it begins.

Ugh

 

[dcelw540]

That opening was quite cringey

 

[rtcn63]

Oh god oh god I can't handle this I CANT HANDLE THIS

EDIT: The audience are all plants, aren't they? The dancing hints at it.

 

[Mau ®]

Fuck Yahoo. Even her streams on Ustream weren't this shitty.

 

[dcelw540]

Songs called shake it off the op was correct

 

[Oozer3993]

But I keep cruisin'
Can't stop, won't stop groovin'

 

[Fey]

ariana won

absolute shit

 

[Mau ®]

It's a bop!

YAS!

 

[Mau ®]

YASSSSS late 80's pop!!

The best pop era!

 

[rtcn63]

It's gotten a bit awkward, and that first track was pretty terrible. Maybe she'll announce Half Life 3? I would accept that.

EDIT: 1986 here. Freshman pandering.

Oct 27

YASSSSS late 80's pop!!

I noticeably swooned when she said "80s pop."

 

[Cyport]

Scream at every single announcement

 

[rtcn63]

Yeah the audience is definitely hired plants.

She was 1 in 1990. So. Uh.

 

[Fifty]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[rtcn63]

I had to stop watching. I don't want to destroy the semi-fictional, idealized perception of her I've developed after all these years. I won't let the real her take that away from me.

Music Video of Shake It Off

 

[RevoDS]

Yeah, that song's bad

Hope the album isn't completely like...this.

 

[dcelw540]

Really dont like the music video

 

[rtcn63]

Music Video of Shake It Off

Oh really? *returns to stream*

This is a GAP commercial.

 

[Dries]

Looks great! She looks great as well.

 

[Oozer3993]

Preorder the album (iTunes link)!

Buy "Shake It Off" (iTunes link)!

According to iTunes, there are 13 tracks on the album. Because of course there are.

 

[Gawge]

I think it's super good!

(and Taylor is constantly cute/charming/DANCING).

 

[SteveWinwood]

omg shes my hero

 

[Satch]

horrendous song
the video was a This Is How We Do reduction without the budget and charm. is she even trying anymore?

taylor swift just needs to pack it up

 

[Tamanon]

That was pretty terrible. :/

 

[Illusive_Juan]

Sounds more pop than ever, but I'll learn to love it.

Is it me or does this video give you a "Happy," "Call Me Maybe" sort of vibe in the sense that it was designed to be senselessly catchy?

 

[SteveWinwood]

why you guys gotta be so mean

 

[DrStiles]

Not her best song, but it is really catchy. Like it was pretty much stuck in my head instantly. Can't wait for Oct 27th!

 

[Owzers]

I flip back and forth on whether Taylor is better than this...it's just a really dumb obnoxious song.

 

[Ashhong]

Just seems exactly like what her first singles have always been, poppy, fun, catchy songs. Pretty sure most people here hated "We Are Never.." the first time they heard it, and look at how that album turned out.

This. It's the Taylor Cycle.

 

[Data West]

Ya'll remember when that Assassin's Creed thread got locked for looking too close to viral marketing?

 

[Booty Patrol]

I like the song but I won't defend that video. Trash a bit.

 

[Never Forever]

The song is a bop, I like it. It's cute, haven't listened to it much yet. Assuming it'll be up on UK iTunes forthwith.

Will edit the OP at some point tomorrow, I think.

Only one self-penned song, mess.

But, IMOGEN HEAP. OMG OMG OMG

 

[Illusive_Juan]

Time out

The album is in stores Oct. 27 and Swift said fans will actually get packets of real Polaroids inside the album -- 13 each, but different packs with different photos in each.

Shiit. So Physical > Digital here for sure.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

That song is catchy as heck.

 

[VICTORsaurio]

She's gonna shake it off all the way to the bank

#HatersGonnaHate

 

[Meier]

Obviously pop and country aren't really my things in general, but I'm surprised at how few genuine hits she has from the list in the OP. I genuinely only recognize a couple of the songs by name. Speak Now in particular is a wasteland -- I think Mean is the only one I can place and just that "Why you gotta be so mean" line.

Edit: Just looked at the year end charts from 2010 on.. I Knew You Were Trouble is the only one to even make the top 20 and it was #16 in 2013. Obviously she sells a lot of records and has a lot of people go to her shows, but as far as singles are concerned, she really has a long way to go.

 

[Deleted member 102481]

I fuck with her new song

 

[AEFantasy485]

Personally I think it was amazing. She touched on all of the bad publicity and pretty much said she doesn't care. Haters are going to hate and it seems like that's all the people want to do. Go get it T. Swizzle because I'm loving it <3

 

[Falnabol]

Taylor Swift Forever <3

Oh, no. The Max Martin tracks on Red were horrific and now she has an album drowning in them.

 

[Dinosur]

Didn't like this song at all which is just deja vu from the WANEGBT release. I wouldn't even want another Red-style album and I'm assuming with how much Martin is all over this one, the magic is over.

Of course none of that matters because I'll still buy the record and yet again be in the pit or front row for the upcoming concert since I'm a sucker.

 

[Karsha]

Didn't like the new song that much but We are never ever going back together was bad too and Red turned out to be good(I'd put it over speak now). Still I don't see her making another album as good as Fearless ....

 

[SteveWinwood]

whatever you guys are haters that was alright

also who is this max martin guy and why does she need him on every song now

edit jesus christ this guy has written fucking everything how rich is he

 

[kingkitty]

I like the song.
