like I feel like this will be an inessential Taylor album, nobody was really needing a new TS album at this point and nobody really knows what this is for
Her fans

…so exactly like TTPD? Feels like her fans are even more excited right now since TLOAS is pop oriented

what makes a taylor album essential? because it can't just be time between albums. the 16 month break she's taken between TTPD and this is her longest break since Reputation -> Lover.
This isn‘t going to flop

i won't go too far into specific since the last time leaks were discussed here the site almost got taken down. but this is far and away her most sexually explicit album and in one song she directly takes aim at a ktt2 favorite!

I'm kinda on the fence between your POV and optimism tbh. For reference, I was a big fan of Speak Now - 1989, mixed on the first two and Rep, still hate Lover lmao, and got back into her in earnest with Folklore (her best) and onward. I really have enjoyed her entire 2020s catalog in all honesty, even with TTPD being weaker especially in the second half
That said, this has felt like a very strange rollout and the closer we get to release, the more I'm suspecting the initial leaks threw the plans off and this was meant to be a week or two prior announcement with much more mystery around its contents. Far be it from me to judge a pop album off its rollout alone, but it's f***ing Taylor Swift and the week of the release shouldn't feel like "oh yeah, she's dropping Friday" lmao.
My optimism comes from Max Martin, the tacit acknowledgement of less being more this time around with the whole "no deluxe this time" thing (I don't believe her but still) and the overarching feeling of "there's no reason for this to exist if it isn't a statement". I loved I Can Do It With A Broken Heart and wanted more of that sound, so I'm hoping that's what we're getting.
My concern is... what the f*** are we getting with no Jack Antonoff, what feels like half-assed promo in spite of a maximalist (and imo kind of ass) art design and theme, and barely a year past the last record? Why is she doing a movie/premiere in IMAX and forcing Target to open at midnight? The relative promotional silence was interesting for something called The Tortured Poets Department when we all expected Reputation TV, but this time it feels much more hollow and jarringly unintentional.
Doesn't help that imo the main cover is the s***tiest of all of the variants, I get that she's going for the Ophelia thing but the bathwater looks dirty lmao
To be completely clear though I will be up Thursday night to find out
That's the tour stage, f*** are they talking about calling that a key lmao

Some of the stuff feels unintentional because the f***ing tracklist leaked immediately lmao
She probably wanted to announce the tracks one by one over the weeks to generate more hype but thats only my guess

Speak Now... an album!

Exactly, the whole thing feels like a scramble. Like there was probably going to be a much longer wait for the cover reveal too. I hate the variant thing but again, TTPD's variant releases at least felt more substantial and hinted at the second half.
Who knows what could've been. Still can't believe how much leaked though, I was convinced that pic of her in the jewels was fake when it first dropped but here we are.
