During the announcement (and the release) of "The Archer" on Instagram live, it was revealed that Taylor was shooting the music video of the next single from Lover.
I'm really pleased that they're not seemingly releasing all the promo tracks they're intending to use as future singles this time.
The Archer is the best song she's released so far this era. ME! is atrocious, and You Need To Clam Down was okay. Nothing beats Delicate yet though.
Video coming 23rd August 1am our time!
Same ikr Ready for the single situation to turn into a Rep-like mess now, here we go again *.*
Omg...I’m floored. Best song yet
This is v cute. The weakest of the 4 for me but good! V different for her!
Boring
This is very Love On The Brain but not as good
I ADORE this, it's already hitting me so much more on multiple listens ❤️❤️
It reminds me of a Speak Now (lyrically) + Red (sonically) mix and I'm here for it *.*
This is #5 on iTunes already *.*
Only #8 on NMF tho and no hot hits again ahhh track 2 on today's top hits tho! Hopefully it'll debut top 50 on spotify and top 40 officially. CIWYW debuted at 29 right?
I love this I was always more a fan of this kind of thing than the 1989 stuff so I’m so happy she’s finally going back to that Definitely would fit in on Speak Now
Not sure on this either I'm gonna be really disappointed by this album if it carries on.
This is her best song from this era so far for me.
Reminds me of What A Wonderful world.
I could see this being big if it was an official single too.
A longer runner on the charts than ME and You need to calm down but with a higher peak
This is Tune Of The Weekend on radio 1 this weekend so I’m wondering if it actually might be an official single.
This is very underwhelming on first listen - I like it in an album track way but I really hope this isn't going to be indicative of the album
It kinda reminds me of Perfect... remix feat. Ed for Xmas #1?
It reminds me of Reputation's New Year's Day. It's not my favorite sound of Taylor, but I'm glad she's offering different stuff.
It's dull. She's killing my hype for the album with every release. The middle 8 in this is a choice.
Spotify' play count has this at just under 5 million!!! Amazing start *.*
Another beauty. This and Archer > the first two singles, easily.
This is gorgeous - so excited for the album.
This is easily the best thing from the album so far.. it needs to be an official single. Beautiful song
Keeps growing. An absolute gem of a song.
Ok this has hit me
"I take this magnetic force of a man to be mine" <3
Cute very lana del rey
I really hope this gets full single treatment.
It has the potential to be one of those real long running like smashes.
Obviously due to the way it’s been released thus far I don’t see it going to #1 or even top 5 but I do think it could be a real long runner with a chart run like Adele’s Set Fire To The Rain or Freya’s Lost Without You.
It’s a perfect album seller too.
Yeah the more I listen to this, the more it has that timeless classic feel, I can't see how this wouldn't be HUGE as a single!
It’s inoffensively bland, nice enough but nothing special for me. Lyrically and sound-wise it doesn’t move me really, hmm.
The Archer >
video later tonight! (11:30pm our time I think). Also guessing it's Joseph Kahn directed, the images released so far + the Xmas lyric is similar to a pic Joseph teased before the era even started
Available for US Triple A airplay now (http://pulsemusic.proboards.com/post/7105301/thread). It seems that Republic is testing the track in other radio formats aside Pop and Hot AC, which are her current US core formats.
Is this being pushed as a proper single then? PLEASE LET IT BE SO. I am enamoured by it.
Video coming now! Same director as YNTCD video ahh
Inspired by you are in love.
love love love love absolutely gorgeous video, the plot is beautiful (the ending ) and visually omg it's just all so stunning
My only problem is, WHY ARE THEY DROPPING THIS NOW AND NOT WINTER/NOVEMBER TIME!! The song & video are so xmas-sy/wintery and would've been perfect for then, I kinda rly hope this doesn't harm it in the long run and it can still be massive haha
This has potential to be an all time classic of hers but I think they're gonna f*** it up
It’s v teardrops on my guitar vibe
Love the video!! The Blue Room Taylor is a LOOK
The video is great, but... it’s Summer time, not Christmas?
Gorgeous video!! Totally agree it's way more suited to the festive season though
The video is brilliant. Perfect for Q4 so it's a wonder why they've prem'd it so early lol.
The thread description should be changed to "Third Official Single".
Please be huge.
I get the Christmas vibe from the video and the song itself though.
I think it’s going to be more of a low peaker but long runner type hit tbh. This eras Style.
Amazing video, fits the song so well and makes it so much better!
Debuts at 23 in the UK! Hopefully top 20 next week *.*
If this is actually the third official single, I can't help but feel they're buggering up the campaign already.
Oh that video is super cute and has helped the song to click a bit more! Much preferring the visuals of this era to the last.
Yessss!! Perfect choice!
It’s a perfect single choice if they want album sales. This is an album seller for sure.
I sort of feel like it might’ve worked more as single 4 in like 3 months time though with The Man being pushed now since it’s doing good on streaming and is more for this time of year.
BUT I can see it being fairly big regardless. It’s got a real sort of timeless feel to it and it’s different to the two singles we’ve heard so far what have been in your face pop, then sassy fighting for a message, this is like more representative of her.
I honestly don’t get the reaction to it on here I really feel this could be big. I can see this selling much more than the eras first two singles and having a longer chart run. Peak wise I still feel it’s gonna be more of a long runner with a lower peak (like not top 5 but between 6-20 maybes).
Yep this is my fave video from the era 💗💗 I keep going back to it so much!
This is hitting me so much more every single day, a masterpiece 💗💗
Debuts at 19 in America, top 10 next week hopefully <3
Also:
"Lover" is Taylor's 18th #1 hit on the Digital Song Sales chart. She extends her record as the artist with the most #1's in history (35,000 sold).
Taylor Swift ties Madonna as the female artist with the most top 20 hits in Hot 100 history (44 each).
A-List on Radio 1!
Where’s people thinking this is gonna peak at?
I hope it can at least get one week in the UK top ten.
#14
#14 100000%
This song has really clicked with me loving the Phil Spector Motown vibe to it!
A remix with Shawn Mendes is out now! Glad this is being pushed in the winter.
The original is better obvs but I do really like it! And hopefully this can make Lover a smash cos it deserves to be massive <3 (and there's no chance of the original becoming a hit anymore without a remix </3)
Now we need promotion everywhere for this to become a smash ahh! (Esp considering Tay has done basically every single awards show this year <3). Hopefully she does this at ama's, voice US, some UK promo would be amaze ahh
Also can we have good spotify playlisting this era for the first time since Me plz!
I think this might struggle here: Radio 1 have just taken it off their playlist and I doubt they will re add it and I’m not sure if Spotify would add it back to Hot Hits either!
It's been off hot hits for ages (the man lasted longer on HH than Lover haha and even that's been off a lil while now) so I'd be disappointed if they didn't re-add it
This remix is rly growing on me!
I like the remix, I prefer the original too because I'm more used to it but I think it's cute as a duet like it's the two lovers singing to each other and Shawn fits really well! I'm glad it's not one of those remixes where it sounds like they just tacked on a random verse or chorus and it feels really rushed.
the original is much better
their voices don't match and Shawn cannot hit the notes, he sounds terrible (and I generally like him)
at least it's not a duet with Ed
I can see this getting a new peak thanks to the remix! Maybe not this week but definitely in 3-4 weeks. All this needs is a big UK push on TV. I think this will help the album out too. It was the perfect track to release at this time of year and Shawn is probably the best Male she could’ve collaborated with too as she’s already worked with Ed in the past.
Added to TTH
I think I'll stick to the original thanks x (it's not as disastrous as the 'bad guy' remix but not massively feeling Shawn's contribution here hmm)
I like the song, but not the vocals. She sounds like a dying seal.
The First Dance Remix is available now.
Snow Globe lyric video, soooo gonna be UK Christmas #1 after the Strictly performance
STUNNING. The best performance of Lover yet, imo.
Loved that performance. Really hope this helps the track return to the chart.
Once Xmas is over and the Xmas related stuff and charity stuff disappear this could hopefully return.
It's already climbed over 200 places to get to number 9 on iTunes
Am I the only one who thought she was miming or really heavily layered vocals over her quietly singing on Strictly? And the piano didn't seem live either. Weird. Regardless I love the song and hope it keeps rising
