It’ll be out in shops but the iTunes release will be a worldwide release at midnight ET, so 5/6am in Europe and afternoon in Aus/NZ.

 

Explains partly why estimates have been so high.

Leaked!

Don't blame me is a MASTERPIECE I'M SHAKING

 

End game is slaying me so badly wtf!!!! I love Ed's part and even Future doesn't ruin it :o

 

Getaway Car is a mini OOTW omg <3

 

This is already surpassing my expectations!

I DID SOMETHIN BAD LORDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD OMG

I Did Something Bad and This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things are SO tone deaf and problematic

 

Jesus

New Years Day is beautiful but a lot more like begin again than the all too well/enchanted masterpiece it was being built up to be </3

 

King of my heart is fab, TIWWCHNT is a bop, dress is good but definitely the weakest so far

They're burning all the witches even if you aren't one

They got their pitchforks and proof, their receipts and reasons

They're burning all the witches, so light me up

Go ahead and light me up

Light me up

 

They say I did something bad, then why does it feel so good?

Most fun I’ve ever had, and I’d do it over and over and over again if I could

Not Taylor making an accidental white supremacist anthem on an album where she's using hip-hop production and attempting to rap~

 

I look forward to the reviews tomorrow.

First listen ranking:

 

12/10

1. Look What You Made me Do

2. Don't Blame Me - a masterpiece

3. End Game - so impressed, on trend and a modern smash

 

11/10

4. Getaway Car - mini OOTW, this goes off

5. Call It What You Want

6. Ready For It

7. I Did Something Bad - love the verses and chorus + prediction is killer

 

10/10

8. Dancing With Our Hands Tied - the verses are 13/10 and it goes off

9. King Of My Heart - just a fab pop song! The verses and chorus are highlights of the album but I need to get used to the pre-chorus and the chorus breakdown!

10. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things - love this, a bop

 

9/10

11. New Years Day - beautiful but missing that extra spark to make this a highlight

12. Delicate - fab song but doesn't stand out compared to the rest of the album, love the reputation lyric *.*

13. Gorgeous - lyrics that could cut glass

 

7.5/10

14. So It Goes - good but filler

 

6.5/10

15. Dress - average filler

 

I'm so impressed ❤️❤️

Which songs sounds like old Taylor and far enough from the current music trends ?

End Game is so good!

Doing my listening party now!

Can someone inbox me a link please? I would appreciate it :heart:

Delicate

Getaway Car

King of My Heart

Dancing With Our Hands Tied

Call It What You Want

New Year's Day

 

This sound is the kind of 1989 follow-up I would have been happy with. The production on this album is good but too homogeneous. End Game is going to be a big hit though, although it's v meh

 

You can tell Jack really produces what his artists want rather than him imposing his ideas on them.

 

Getaway Car is v Taylor on autopilot/Carly/Style/Supercut but I'm a fan

I'm starting to think I already prefer Don't Blame Me to LWYMMD :o :o I am utterly obsessed with it. <3

 

I'm intrigued to see what the growers will be! I Know Places was my least fave on 1989 during its release week but is now comfortably in my top 5 on the album!!

at first listen it's a bit disappointing.. only 2-3 songs made me want to listen to them again..

Really loving this album, I'll do ratings after I have give it a few listens.

I feel nothing listening to this album. It's all very much just there but nothing stands out in a good or bad way.
