I tried to listen to the new album but turned out the tortured one was me trying to listen to the album till the end, not the poets. Omg this needs to be framed!!! I agree I skimmed through the new album and it seems like a snorefest. Only Taylor album I’ve ever liked is Reputation.

Looks like Avril and Taylor live rent free in most of our minds lol. I also thought of Avril, but in no way it reminded me of her, nor do I want something similar. What I would like is the double album, the surprise, and detail into a release. Imagine if she'd gone through with the double album for LS. This is the second time Taylor's been like "oh here's more songs" mere hours after the original release. Not a lot of artists give more content so it's not something I expect, but damn it would be so cool if all my faves did it. I'm kind of sick (and disappointed) of Taylor, but for Avril I'm starved for more content. I wonder how much longer until we get an update on AL8. Is it anywhere near done? Are there plans for something big in the works? During LS era (and before!) we saw so many insta stories of her in the studio so why has it taken so long? Why hasn't she mentioned it in a year?

I feel like she had a lot of stuff done earlier and maybe she decided to not to use what she had. She might have changed her mind about the record and started fresh but I'm hoping for at least a single or something by the end of the year, but I have a feeling it might be well into 2025.

November 2024 with February 2025 release lmao! Ima till betting she releases album on her 40th birthday or at the very least lead single. I think something is coming on her 40th

Quality is always better than quantity, as much as it sucks to wait long periods in-between Albums. Only thing is that if it takes a long time, the end result better be worth it lol. Tyler Childers was my favorite artist when his second major album came out in 2019, 5 years and two short subpar albums later…not so much.

I know im going to get battered for saying this, but in the case of taylor i do think she has both quality and quantity over Avril. Whilst I like LS, it doesn’t really resonate with me on any emotional level, and this is something id love to see from Avril… a more mature, introspective and deeper album, that has some real themes to it rather than just boy bashing / I’m going to get drunk / I’m a MF princess. I wouldn’t even care if she didn’t write the songs herself and got some really good writers on board. Maybe it’s because I’m in my 30s and whilst I like to put on childish music every now and again I guess my taste is just changing in general!
It is odd how Avril never releases additional material.. I just don’t think she understands the impact it would have on her fan base and I don’t think she particularly cares. She’s a multi millionaire now with no worries and I always think her promo and future albums will be half arsed. I think Taylor does genuinely want to give back to her fans.. despite being a billionaire.
As I said before, I’m a bigger fan of Avril but you can’t discredit the attention and energy that Taylor puts into her work and appreciation of her fans.

Lmao I’m not a Taylor fan but that post was by no means a shot at her. I was intentionally avoiding saying anything about her because I know how the fanbase can be, and I still somehow got accused of hating on her 😂. Only person even remotely attacked in that post is Childers lol.

To be honest, I don't think there's a lot of people putting out quality music. We have the big ones like Taylor and Beyonce who most people believe are always going to put out something good no matter what. And I do think they focus a lot on their artistry and have a lot of creative ideas and innovative ideas. But majority of the music space right now i don't believe value quality. Everyone is mostly aiming for a quick streaming hit or crating some hype over their latest breakup or feud with another famous person. Many aren't taking that many chances with creating something different and kept putting out the same style of music they've been doing for years whether it be a legacy nostalgia act like Avril or popular popstars of today like Ariana (which I really liked but I've heard it all before).

As I said before, I’m a bigger fan of Avril but you can’t discredit the attention and energy that Taylor puts into her work and appreciation of her fans. I agree. Taylor is just a whole other level with regards to output, catering to her fans and pure talent. She almost does too much so it’s not a dig at Avril - I wouldn’t expect anyone to have Taylor’s work ethic. Talent wise Taylor’s songwriting is just miles above most artists, Avril can write a decent song when she wants to but she’ll never be the level Taylor is, and that’s fine, most people won’t be. Buuuuut thinking about what the fans want and throwing them a bone every so often is something Avril should take note of. Deluxe albums where she adds two mediocre tracks when other artists are releasing 30+ songs all at once (and that’s not just Taylor!). She’s incredibly stagnant in that regard and hasn’t really moved with the times - it’s easier than ever to connect with fans and drop music on a whim but she seems to have very little interest in any of it.

Avril surpassed 21 M monthly listeners on Spotify, she has never had so many, how weird, no music out for a long time. I noticed many other artists are their number increasing a lot lately.
She's the #308 Artist in the world right now and surpassed Paramore

This is great for her esp before the tour starts. Hopefully the tour (and potentially new music) would help take her to the next level
