Starlight
Everything Has Changed

I Almost Do
Sad Beautiful Tragic
The Last Time

 

I like Nora in the few episodes she did on NFL Ringer before I didn’t like her chemistry with Kevin. Really enjoyed when she did emergency pods in the Long Pond sessions and evermore.

Have heard Nathan come on Bills podcast and talk music business in general. Kinda refreshing to hear an older cis white male “get it” when it comes to Taylor. He’s way more down to talk about the business of Taylor as much as the music.

 

Welp! Looks like you’re gonna have to “begin again” since you missed a song.

 

Oh WEIRD. Fixed that.

 

No you messed up, “Treacherous” shouldn’t be that low.

 

Forget the breakup songs I've always wondered who this is about tho

 

Just got an email saying the Evermore vinyl isn’t shipping until May 28th due to some delays.

 

Kind of astonishing that even for an artist as big as her, it takes like half a year to get vinyl produced.

 

People who ordered it from her store a long time ago will probably get it after places like target, walmart, and Amazon.

 

That’s what happened with Folklore too

 

Tbh I feel like she can get by with the so-so quality merch and long wait times because people buy her stuff regardless but it's disappointing

 

Yep. Not a great look.

 

Yeah and I’m not super disappointed I missed out on ordering it from her site. I’ll likely buy the standard version from my local shop as well as the Target edition since I have that variant of folklore.

 

I feel like this happens with most official merch stores. You order it and pay way more for shipping, and then it ends up in stores earlier for the Average Joe. Happened with Folklore and will happen with Evermore and, most likely, Fearless.

Although to be honest, even Amazon hasn't been reliable with new music arriving on release dates lately. The new Kings of Leon arrived late, and I ended up cancelling my OK Human order because of its estimate shipping date. There's nothing more reliable for Day 1 purchases than in stores.

 

Yeah that happens with me with a lot of artists I pre-order records from...it's especially annoying when they don't send you a download and I instead have to wait for the record with the download card because I don't really use many streaming services. So it's like...people are currently listening to this for "free" and I, someone who paid $25+shipping the second you announced it, am not.

 

Exactly. This sums up just how I feel. I'm grateful anytime they send a download code with the purchase or right on the release date.

On a separate note, I'm grateful to any artist/label still sending download codes or including download cards with vinyl. Making the leap to vinyl over the past four years has led to a bunch of double purchases. Speak Now and the original Fearless being two of them.

 

Taylor Swift and Evermore Theme Park Drop Lawsuits

 

Randomly listening to an episode of Crime Junkies podcast (and this is like, the 5th episode I’ve ever listened to) and I had no idea that “No Body, No Crime” was based on the true story (most or it at least) of Ester Hollis.

Sorry if this has been talked about already, and I’m sure this is well known by the die hard fans but I just thought it was Taylor writing a detailed story for a song like her earlier works but nope lol

certainly makes the song much sadder though

Edit: goddamn it! Those fuckers got me. It was an April Fool’s joke. Lmao they got me good

 

Lol I hadn't listened to the ep yet but I was wondering why they released one today since their schedule is Mondays. Didn't even remember it was April 1

 

I don't know the podcast, but that's a pretty epic April fools joke

 

It made me realize how powerful certain songs can be for remembering them. The podcast started seemingly as they always do and within a few minutes of them mentioning that Ester goes by Este and that she was supposed to meet her best friend at Olive Garden on Tuesday night like they always do I was like, “wait, this is what the Taylor Swift song is about holy shit”.
