Spock 20,290 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 She’s got music gigs lined up: Shows are usually a prelude to or a performance of new music, but it’s been 2 years since Swift released her last album. However, Swift signed on to do a pre-Super Bowl performance (the half-time performance will go to Lady Gaga, whose album Joanne is set to drop this month) in February and the Grand Prix in Austin, Texas on October 22, the day before her album allegedly drops. These will be her first performances since ending the 1989 World Tour in December 2015. October seems to be Taylor’s month of choice for album drops: It’s no big secret that Tay loves an autumnal stroll, pumpkin spice latte in hand and perhaps even Jake Gyllenhaal in tow, but she’s also chosen to release most of her studio albums during October — 4 out of 5, in fact. This probably has less to do with Taylor’s penchant for sweaters and falling leaves as it does with the fact that releasing an album during the fall can lead to major holiday sales — and seeing as how she was the highest-earning musician of last year, we know that T. Swift has her mind on her money. An album drop on October 23 would be right on-brand for Swift. She has a history of releasing albums every two years: Swift does not belong to the Frank Ocean school of thought when it comes to dropping new music (that is, making your fans wonder for years on end if new music even exists). Instead, she’s always worked on a strict schedule, as evidenced by the fact that she’s released an album every two years since her eponymous debut: Taylor Swift, October 2006; Fearless, November 2008; Speak Now, October 2010; Red, October 2012; and 1989, October 2014. Apparently, the numbers play a major factor: It’s a fact well-established that Swift’s favorite number is 13: She was born on December 13, her Twitter handle is @taylorswift13, her first album reached gold in 13 weeks, and she kicked off her Red tour on March 13, 2013, where she even drew the number on her hand before hitting the stage. Bless the Swiftie who went full Da Vinci Code on us and used the date of the album and their knowledge of Swift’s favorite number to provide evidence that we’ll be getting an album on October 23; if you list the date as 10/23/16, you can then add the numbers like this: 1+0+2+3+1+6, which is = 13! Is your mind exploding yet? It’s the perfect stunt, which Camp Swift could use this year: One does not execute a career like Swift’s without some careful coordination. She’s a master of controlling her public narrative—but the receipts that Kim Kardashian West produced earlier this year were a rare hiccup. A surprise album drop is the perfect way to make the most of good publicity. Look no further than Beyoncé, whose dexterity in this arena is rivaled by none. http://time.com/4526914/taylor-swift-new-album-fall/ Only the biggest popstar on the planet would have Time Magazine publish a speculative article about whether or not she's releasing an album And the rumors gaining traction day by day I still doubt a surprise release is happening, but I think we are definitely getting new music soon who will love me when the night is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GagaXCupcakke 3,818 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 1.I don't think she's ballsy enough for a surprise release. 2.She does normally release every 2 years BUT she got over exposed with 1989 and needs to take more time off than usual.
