smokingthemall 1,596 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Taylor Swift is hands down one of the biggest artists today. Having own multiple Grammy awards (10), every album surpassing 4 million copies each and is surely worth over $280 million. Her new album, "reputation" is set to be released on November 10 which contains "Look What You Made Me Do", "...Ready for It?" and newly released single, "Gorgeous". 'Look What You Made Me Do' peaked at #1 on the BBH100 and gave her the best selling first week sales for a single in 2017 (so far), selling over 700K copies. Taylor's previous album, "1989", debuted at #1 on the BB200, with first week sales exceeding 1.2 million. The album became the best selling album of 2014 and won two Grammy awards including "Album of the Year". In support of the album, Taylor embarked on "The 1989 World Tour" which began on May 5, 2015 and ended on December 12, 2015 with 85 shows played. In total, the tour had an audience size of over 2.2 million and grossed $250+ million. According to Billboard, 'The 1989 World Tour' was the highest grossing Pop tour in 2015. The list goes on for the achievements of '1989', but did she set the bar too high, even for herself? With the anticipation being incredibly high for Taylor, can 'reputation' be as successful as '1989'?

Ryusei 60,798 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 No, because she was loved by everyone except those that didnt like her music in her 1989 era and now everyone and their mom have irrational hate towards her. (Also she basically has what I like to call the ARTPOP bias aka everyone already has their "LOLOL it ****ing sucks" message ready before it's even out) /thread Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagagoogoose 30,952 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Not by the direction she's going. She relies too heavily on visual impact that she forgets to make actual music, which is important in the longevity of an era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCureinMalibu 45,913 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 You guys haven't even heard the album yet. When 3 of the songs from 1989 got released first (Shake It Off, Out Of The Woods,Welcome To New York). The reaction was almost the same as now. We can't say anything by far. But I think she can still be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GypsyBabe 22,836 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 No. I don’t think the music that she is putting out is as good as 1989 and the visuals seem forced. ⚯͛ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCureinMalibu 45,913 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 With 1989 Shake It Off: Lack of meaningful lyrics, but catchy. Out Of The Woods: Too repetitive (lack of chorus). 70% hates it when it got released. Welcome To New York: Hate it as first but like it afterwards. With Reputation: Look What You Made Me Do: Lack of meaninful lyrics, but catchy Ready For It: Lack of chorus. Good instrumentals and lyrics. Gorgeous: (people were saying it lacks of meaningful lyrics. I say f*** then. The lyrics are cute and adorable and totally fit). Some hates it at first but it's grown inside them. ---> So don't really judge soon. Cause 1989 is the most awarded pop album of history Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damon 10,896 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Idk, maybe yes but it won't be as iconic I think the only think that will remain is LWYMMD video ... and now i just sit in silence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFamousLM 635 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The songs she released from Reputation aren't at 1989's level imo. And they seem to be a little bit less successful (Shake It Off was way bigger than LWYMMD). So I'd say she'll do great but no 1989's numbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 104,802 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I liked a few songs from 1989 because they were similar to the 90s pop, but now the songs from Reputation are just like any song from the Chainsmokers or Calvin and I don't like it.. I think this is why it was successful, because it was not EDM or anything electronic, it was pure.. I could play the moderator, I can ban you, die sis.

davidtaylor 677 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I don't think the whole 'dark taylor' thing will last enough for an entire era it's gonna get boring for her and everyone else so happy i could die Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
