UltraCruelSummer

First listen thoughts: Lavender Haze - bop, I think he knows vibes. 9/10 Maroon - love the chorus, verses need to crow. 8/10 Anti-hero - this is great, feels quite melodrama-like. 9.5/10 Snow on the beach - this is lovely and I’d probs rate this higher if it weren’t a collab, for my dream collab I can barely even hear Lana on this 😭 9/10 You’re on your own, kid - yeah love this on first listen, I’m kind of getting the archer vibes. 9.5/10 Midnight rain - twas not expecting that start. Those male processed vocals are a no, the rest of the song are cute. 8/10 Question… - v. Cute bop that I feel I’ll be obsessed with soon. 8.5/10 Vigilante shit - yeah this is quite Billie and def very new for Taylor, I cannot tell if I love it or idk, I feel this will def be top 3 or bottom 3 on the album for me by next weekend 😂 8.5/10 Bejeweled - it’s solid. 8/10 Labyrinth - more solidness. 8/10 Karma - after seeing the lyrics leak a couple days ago I thought this would be my least fave. After listening, it’s the opposite! Instant love. 10/10 Sweet nothing - cute, serving peace/hoax getting towards the end of the album, but on a weaker album. 8.5/10 Mastermind - this is pretty good, idk if it works as a closer tho, I feel this would’ve worked better like half way through the album and probs sweet nothing closing. 9/10 Yeah a lil disappointing on first listen but was kind of expecting it after all the reactions. Nothing immediately hit me on first listen (bar karma, but still not as much as songs on Tay albums usually do) which is so rare for a Taylor album, I hope everything grows quick (gonna be interesting to see how it goes, the Taylor songs with these kind of sound are never instant for me and either become all time Taylor faves like delicate, or fan faves I still do not get the hype around like false god). Tho it’s still a great album, nothing I dislike, and still probs album of the year. Also doesn’t help I’m shattered and need to be up in 4 hours fml. Expecting to wake up to a tour announcement! Ranking: Karma You’re on your own kid Anti hero Snow on the beach Lavender haze Mastermind Question… Vigilante shit Sweet nothing Maroon Bejeweled Midnight rain Labyrinth

Why is the midnight rain intro nearly serving hold my hand intro shock & horribleness 😭

Exact same for me! Taylor crashing spotify :cheeseblock:

Really liking this on first listen, it feels v. Melodrama

Taylor track 1 + cover of hot hits on spotify (with anti-hero) <3

Are lavender haze/the Lana one not working for anyone else on spotify?? I’m about to go mad Edit: just lavender haze now but I wanna listen to the album from the start fml Edit again; we finally working 7 hours later breakdown over x LETS GO

Let’s go :cheeseblock: Just finished giving willow a spin, what a song and one of my fave Taylor lead singles, it’s ageing so well 😍

We’re getting videos for every track!!! (Or longform videos for the 2 announced songs, which seems more likely and people just ran with visual album) A bunch of people in them including Laura Dern and the HAIM sisters! The trailer for the visuals looks stunning

Let it die is such a bop, I love it!! Easy Lover got old for me pretty quick but feel like I’m gonna have let it die on repeat for quite a while <3 Remove don’t say a word and this is the exact same for me! Also I don’t consider it an album song (even though it appears on delirium) but love me like you do remains an 11/10 moment <3

Thank gosh 700 people I stan also released albums this week (and all at midnight UK time) so I can get through those on the wait until 5am 😂

Lol I have somehow not caved and still haven’t heard a snippet yet (I did try and find a leak last night but i was too drunk and the only link I found ended up downloading me Tove Lo’s album 😂) Bring on 5am! I don’t think I’ve been less hyped for a Taylor album for a long time but still by far the most hyped I’ve been for any music this year 😂

Not sure if it’s fake or real but there’s credits going around with Jack on every track, the return of William Bowery on one track, one self-written, Zoe Kravitz credited on one & a couple random producers credited on a couple of the tracks

track lengths are out! Lavender Haze - 3:22 Maroon - 3:38 Anti-Hero - 3:20 Snow on the Beach - 4:16 You're On Your Own, Kid - 3:14 Midnight Rain - 2:54 Question...? - 3:30 Vigilante Shit - 2:44 Bejeweled - 3:14 Labyrinth - 4:07 Karma - 3:24 Sweet Nothing - 3:08 Mastermind - 3:11 Only two songs over 4 minutes! Def think this is confirmation we're back to a more mainstream-sound after folkmore!

Yassss glad the 2023 tour rumours were true!!! This is gonna be a bloodbath to get tickets even with the presale codes tho 😂

Yeah Lover had a lot of promotion! (Tho that was the last era she promoted a lot). She did Graham Norton that era as well (tho it was performing Me! so no wonder why none of us want to remember it x). She also did strictly and a couple other UK bits + most of the big US award shows & SNL

Graham Norton on the 28th! Glad to see some promo! And yep I also wished we had a single out rn, obvs I’m still majorly hyped for the album cos it’s Taylor but the era feels so dead rn 😭

Someone hold me. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😍😍😍

I am deceased. Goodbye.

No single today by the looks of it (tf I didn’t wait up!) but looks like Midnights Mayhem is finally over due to the tracklist leaking! 😅

Omg us finally getting a track called Karma!! Guess that pays dust to all the rumours of Karma the album aka the original TS6 before Rep 😂 Some rumours that it’s the lead single and coming tomorrow, due to the wording of one of Taylor Nation’s tweets

The temptation to get a signed CD, my bank account can do without this 😭

Also iirc she was unable to do it whilst Pepsi were the sponsors of the super bowl (due to her deal with Coca Cola) Gutted that she’s not doing it this year but so excited for Rihanna!! And honestly I think the rejection articles were a soft confirmation that she’s doing it as soon as the re-recordings are done, so hopefully in the next few years!

FINALLY I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY FOR SO LONG!!!! Really really hope it’s true, and looks like it is! Wonder if we’ll get the third re-recording (1989?) to coincide with super bowl weekend

I was… not expecting that! I am hyped to hear what that’ll sound like!
