Taylor’s new album is called Lover and it will be released on August 23rd. New single out at midnight called You Need to Calm Down. There will be 4 deluxe editions from Target, with different content on each, plus 2 voice memos of the full making of 2 songs.
I’m not crazy about the title tbh, it’s a little plain/basic and not very definitive like the others. She’s been off with titles this era IMO (ME!, You Need to Calm Down, wtf kind of titles are those?) But so far I have liked the music and video as well as image, so I hope I like the new single and rest of the album.

I am so excited about "you need to calm down" tonight! I like the title. It was such a good surprise to hear it will drop tonight.
The title of the album is Lover? Hmm I don't like it either.

While I’m not a huge fan of the title, I really love the album cover. It might be my favorite one, next to Speak Now.

I’m getting good vibes about TS7 era.

Yeah, I really love the aesthetic this era! And I think it was clear that reputation was sort of an anomaly for her and now with the new era she has returned to form. She's doing interviews and promo again and the sound and image is happy and upbeat and colorful again. It's good to see her be in a good place again.

^ Ah thank you! I tried to catch her livestream but I was on a bus and either the WiFi was spotty or the livestream kept buffering in the middle so I missed bits and pieces of it.

I’m loving this song. I like it better than ME! for sure. I understand why she chose ME! as the lead single since the collaboration would build hype and attention, plus the song was able to be turned into big, magical performances with all the dancers, confetti, and colors. But aside from, just comparing the songs themselves…I think this would have been a better lead single.
I really love the lyrics. “Snakes and stones” rather than sticks and stones is really clever since people used to call her a snake. It’s funny. And really like the “shade never made anybody less gay lyric” because of how true it is. You can substitute in any other quality and the lyric still works! Hating on someone for a quality they have isn’t going to change it. So why put so much effort into hating them for it?

My first impression was I just thought this was ok. Musically, I think ME! is a stronger song. But lyrically I think this one is better and more clever, plus has a more powerful and meaningful message. I can’t wait to see the video!
I have never been super crazy about the singles leading up to her album releases, like Shake It Off, WTNY, OOTW, LWYMMD, RFI, and Gorgeous. At the time I thought they were all just ok, not great songs. The best songs ended up being album cuts. So far I think both singles kind of sound alike and they’re catchy, but definitely generic pop. I’m sure the rest of the album will have better songs. So I’m not too worried about it.
Getting back to this song, what I like most is the message and the lyrics. I especially like how she’s calling out those types of fans that have to compare female artists, like there’s especially this fan war going on where they’re comparing her to Ariana all the time, and she’s just like “We all got crowns.” She snapped on these lyrics man lol

I think it's an okay song. I do like it better then Me! but I can see why that's the leas single tho! I think this one can grow more on me. Curious about the album and also the 4 different Deluxe packages!! 4...!!! She will explain more whhy those 4 are different so I haven't pre-ordered (yet). With REP she didn't do (much) promo because she said: There's only reputation. Now it's all back again but I really loved the REP album too!

Her voice sounded different in the beginning.The ohohohoh is worse than the repeat lookwhatyoumademedolook. But overall good geñeric pop song. I think the non singles will be better. I like the snakes lyric and throwback to Reputation.
I wonder if the exclusive songs will be available to buy on their own. I get how exciting it is to have so many versions. But I'm assuming each comes with at least the same 1-12 tracks then the rest extras. So what, do we buy them all over again just to get the other exclusive songs? I'm not that big of a fan to buy multiple of the same tracks but I do want to listen to the other tracks. She makes good music.

I am pretty sure the album will have 18 tracks on all editions. It’s the content inside that is different I think, like posters, photos, lyric sheets, etc. Like the rep magazines. I’m sure someone will post photos of all the editions so it’s not necessary to buy them all. I’m just gonna choose one.

We only have one Swiftie in the family, that I know of. That would be the cutie in middle with sunglasses on top of her head. She's my sister's granddaughter at her first concert ever, last summer.
