Post by Padamic Tension which was originally in the Friday Chart Predictions thread:

Taylor Swift is releasing her next album on 19th April so it should help to drown out Cruel Summer if it hasn’t f***ed off by then

I just feel its total overkill by Taylor doing another album so soon, i know her fans will disagree but it just feels like she is is releasing non stop.

I do agree, I mean I like a bit of TayTay as much as the next person but it's beyond overkill at this point. I was hoping for at least a 2-year break from her once all the Taylor's Versions releases were complete.

It only feels too soon because of the re-recordings, it will be around 18 months since Midnights which is pretty standard. You can't blame her for wanting to put out a brand album instead of re-recordings and a few vault tracks you wrote years ago.

Tbf we probably will, once the TVs are all released. This is about a 16 month gap between Midnights and the new album. Yeah she released a couple of Taylor’s Versions in between but the TVs are never pushed as hard as a normal campaign so I donmt think it’s fair to hold those releases against her.

 

We should really blame Scooter and co for forcing their hand and not letting her buy her masters back.

I doubt Taylor will take a break until she's rereleased Reputation and her debut album. She'll probably squeeze in another new album after TTPD as well. She could wind up with another four charttoppers in the next few years.

Latest rumour has it she WAS told about the Scooter Braun sale and WAS offered the first option to buy them, but she went for the TV option instead!

To be fair 99% of artists don’t own their masters, that’s kind of the trade-off when you sign a record deal!

Yeah but even outside the TV's she's been pumping out regular studio albums at an exhaustive rate aside from those, the Midnights era only just concluded. A little breather would be nice is all.

16 months before midnight's, 22 months before was Evermore, 4months Folklore although there's an argument that's 1 giant album 12 months lover

 

That's kind of the opposite of what you said if we take out TVs :lol:

That is a very very short time between albums though? It’s similar to Rihanna from 2005-2012 except with the way streaming works, those songs never really go away - look at Cruel Summer! When Dua started the Future Nostalgia era, Taylor had just released Lover, by the time it finished she was almost onto Midnights - 4 albums (and 2 TVs) later! It’s an excessive amount of music to be putting out and you really can’t discount the TVs as they’re made up of so many new/“unreleased” tracks. I mean it’s clearly working for her but personally, I AM TIRED!

Well yes the gaps between her releases look longer if you ignore some of the releases :kink:

 

She has still been making a separate 'era' to some degree out of each of the re-recordings (not as extensively as for her main albums but it's not like they were low-key releases) so I think it's pretty valid to include them when commenting on how relentless her release schedule has been. And even if you do ignore them the gaps you've quoted there are still not that long in the grand scheme of things!

 

Plus in the interim between releases she's not exactly gone silent, she pretty regularly churns out new vault tracks / belated streaming releases for previously physical only songs. It really does feel like she's been in constant release mode for the best part of the last 5 years.

Yeah it's waay too much. She needs to calm doqn and go a bit slower. Give the harts some breathin space

I completely fail to see how 🤷‍♂️ but hey ho

Clearly the public doesn't care what you think she almost did 200k of 1989 TV an album practically 10 years old so the public demand is clearly there :lol:

Well complaining about oversatutation when 2 out the last 3 albums had her best numbers ever :P

I also don't see how that correlates to me saying I feel like it's overkill? You addressed my post where I questioned your "logic" with something completely unrelated to try and look clever.

 

If you've got a point here, make it already.

He was just saying it feels like overkill to him personally. Nothing to do with popularity.
