I have no idea tbh. Usually the deluxe/collectors stuff is available in both stores. It'll be a limited time (I believe 72 hours is the countdown for the US store).

I really hope so this will be my first preorder . I was tempted to buy it from the US one (if you can) just incase the deluxe was a US only thing. I am guessing if it is added to the UK one it won't be until 9am or so.

I really hope we get a lead single but I feel like it’s gonna be another era of everything drops with the album unfortunately

I kind of wish she would hurry up and focus on finishing getting the re-records out buuuut I can't say I really care that much about the two remaining ones so I'll take a new album instead :kink: Very early announcement compared to the last few albums, I wonder if we will actually get a pre-album single this time ~

Not earlier at all. all of the recent ones have been about 2 months before release (except RED TV which was much earlier)

I only meant her new albums - although admittedly I was misremembering how long before release 'Midnights' was announced (I thought it was only a couple of weeks for some reason), you're right this is about the same lead time so I'll lower my expectations of getting a pre-album single accordingly x

Deluxe already sold out, I kept getting kicked out.

Available in UK store

I read that her site crashed.

Oh wow.

 

I really wasn’t expecting a completely brand new studio album from her this year. The title is really giving more in the lane of folklore / evermore though which would be perfect for me as her songwriting skills were on fire for both of those albums. I think returning back to a more pop orientated sound as well with Midnights (and also again with 1989 TV) I’m here for another genre providing that’s what the album sound is I’m purely going off title here.

 

Also now thinking ERAs tour might be completely be revamped by the time the UK gets it as there’s now a new era?!

Omfggggggggg I am OVERHELMED

Midnights was quite good, so I’m looking forward to this.

A new album??? Her work ethic is out of this world :lol:

 

Excited for this, from the title I'm hoping it's in the same realm as folklore and evermore as they're both in my top 3 Taylor albums. Intrigued to see what this means for The Eras Tour going forward - I guess she'd only have to trim one song here and there from existing eras to fit in the block for a new one, hopefully nothing too essential goes :P

I woke up and saw this like wow. I really didn’t expect to get another new album lol. I’m so excited to hear this!!

Does the woman ever sleep?!

This album announcement was the first thing I read about today, like a minute after waking up, I was really taken aback :lol:

 

I'm very curious about the sonic direction of this one. I liked Midnights, but I hope this isn't more of the same. I feel like I want some lighter~ sounds from her!

 

The artwork is great! :cheeseblock: It's very sleek. I wonder if we'll get alternative covers? Did folklore/Midnights/1989 TV make it apparent straight away that there was more than one artwork?

 

 

I ordered the "Collector's Edition Deluxe CD" an hour ago. It's showing as sold out on the UK store now! Now I wonder if this is genuinely sold out or if it'll come back eventually?

I reckon it won't be back in stock as it says while supplies last and you have to order it in a short time frame.

Fuming! Put it in my basket to order when I got to work as forgot log in details! Not happy at all!

Went to sleep so of course I fucking missed it! :drama: I really hope she gets that back in stock soon!

 

Also, why is like 30% of me thinking this is a spoken word album?? Y'know like Lana's 'Violet Bent Backwards...'

I wonder if we'll get alternative covers? Did folklore/Midnights/1989 TV make it apparent straight away that there was more than one artwork?

They were all obvious from Day 1. This is definitely the least apparent that we are getting many variants however the small

print does say “collectible sleeves”.

Thank you for the reminder! I wonder if this album will have a different approach, maybe she'll drip feed new formats over the next couple of months rather than overwhelming us now.

 

Sean and Tafty, hopefully it will come back in stock, various versions of Midnights and 1989 TV came back on sale after initially showing as sold out. Fingers crossed.
