July 23, 20204 yr @1286270136006184960 Omggggg what a surprise! :o Her past few albums have been exquisite so I am so here for another!
July 23, 20204 yr @1286272156607840264 tracklist!! I'm claiming the last great American dynasty & illicit affairs &. my tears ricochet
July 23, 20204 yr Genuinely so shocked at this! I didn’t think we’d get a new album from her until like late next year at the earliest. Idk why but I have a feeling this album won’t be pop I think it could be a return to country music or exploring Americana type music. I’m definitely interested in hearing this though. Possible contender for next weeks #1 too on the albums here in the UK there’s nothing major out is there?
July 23, 20204 yr Taylor feat. Bon Iver? Is this real life? :o well I very much look forward to this!

Idk why but I have a feeling this album won’t be pop I think it could be a return to country music or exploring Americana type music. same here! I was expecting us to get a one off single or something (there's been enough hints over the past couple months in the base to know something was happening, esp the cardigan and folklore posts on pulse radio forum!!!!) but I NEVER thought we'd be getting an album this summer, let alone surprise drop!! Yep I'm def expecting a more country-folk album, Safe & Sound pt. II is FINALLY COMING and I'm so excited I'm honestly so shocked and READY FOR IT RIGHT NOW!!!
July 23, 20204 yr Possible contender for next weeks #1 too on the albums here in the UK there’s nothing major out is there? Potentially Kanye West
July 23, 20204 yr I LOVE the artwork too, lowkey prefer it to Lover oops! Her first album cover without the title on it! I'm honestly so excited, expecting this to be slightly less commercial but up there with her best work omg
July 23, 20204 yr I quite like the cover as well. Very different for her but I’m quite feeling the nature vibes feel to it. I’m becoming quite the fan of textless covers these days :wub: just imagine if we didn’t get this announcement today though and we just woke up to it tomorrow!!!
July 23, 20204 yr Potentially Kanye West OMG her mind :lol: :lol: The cleverest woman in music strikes again! She’ll definitely outsell him in terms of pure sales although he could stream very well. Surely she’ll easily get the US #1.
July 23, 20204 yr This feels so random and out of no where omg. I know she often pulls surprises but we usually at least know something is coming, but an entire surprise album is just crazy!
July 23, 20204 yr WHAT. WHAT? Omfg!! She's given us three incredible albums on the trot, I'd love if we got something sort-of like Speak Now. Aaron Dessner from the National writing so many tracks as well :o SO HYPED :wub:
July 23, 20204 yr really love what Aarom Dressner wrote: I was excited and honored when Taylor approached me in late April about maybe writing some songs remotely together. I had been isolating with my family but writing a ton of music in the first months of quarantine which I shared. I thought it would take a while for song ideas to come and I had no expectations as far as what we could accomplish remotely. But a few hours after sharing music, my phone lit up with a voice memo from Taylor of a fully written version of a song -- the momentum never really stopped. Over the next few months, we remotely finished 11 songs (She also recorded several others with the amazing Jack Antonoff) of her magical new album “folklore”. I've rarely been so inspired by someone and it’s still hard to believe this even happened -- these songs came together in such a challenging time. It wouldn't haven't been possible without so much help from first and foremost my engineer Jon Low. And my brother Bryce Dessner's beautiful orchestration on several songs from across the ocean. Justin helped to write and sing a beautiful song and so many other friends from our community contributed brilliantly from their respective isolation — Ben Lanz, Bryan Devendorf, Bryce Dessner, Clarice Jensen, Dave Nelson, James McAlister, Jason Treuting, Josh Kaufman, JT Bates, Kyle Resnick, Rob Moose, Thomas Bartlett, and Yuki Numata Resnick — More on them later! I'm very proud of all these songs and profoundly grateful to Taylor for inviting me into and trusting me in her process. She is one of the most talented, hardworking and deeply caring artists I've ever encountered. There's a palpable humanity and warmth and raw emotion in these songs that I hope you'll love and take comfort in as much as I do.
