Yes, I always wanted the Deluxe edition, too :lol:

I love Speak Now but couldn't even finish listening to Red. Maybe I'll give it another shot some day.

WOW. I did not expect Style as the third single (or perhaps, I was hoping it wouldn't be). Not sure how happy I am about that but it does seem like a predictable choice, regardless.

Yes! Give in! smile.png Did you see this on SNL from a couple months ago?

"Dammit, she got me!" - That's bascially all the new people buying her albums. LOL laugh.png

Fearless is great too. It won the Grammy for Album of The Year in 2010. Just go all out and buy all her albums. wink.png And yes, always get the deluxe/platinum versions.

I love Red so much - it's a great mixture of pop, pop-rock, pop-country. I especially love the sad/heart-breaking songs on Red: All Too Well, Come Back...Be Here, I Almost Do, The Moment I Knew. And Begin Again is one of my favs too.

It was obvious Style would be the next single. Taylor performed it at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show and it was one of the best selling songs on iTunes from the album. It won't be released until February 10 but some radio stations started playing it last week and it's already rising on the charts. I will be shocked if the song doesn't hit #1 on the Hot 100. And I'm assuming she'll be performing it at the Grammys.

It looks like Taylor is continuing to give gifts to her fans and will be (might be) up to Valentines Day: http://www.buzzfeed.com/kristinharris/taylor-swift-sent-fan-money-to-pay-student-loans#.un8GdkdyZ3

Haha, yes I did see that sketch! Not to mention Taylor's approval of it, too. smile.png

I have joked in the past about how despite being born in 1989, I was already 24 by the time "22" was released as a single (and 23 when the album Red came out), so I will never have a song by her to sing on my birthday that has my appropriate age as the title. I know, life is hard. laugh.png

I think those songs are the next most radio-friendly songs. She doesn't really put out any slower songs, so I'm kind of hoping she changes it up a bit and puts out Clean or This Love. But the percentages of her doing that aren't high. I think it will either be Bad Blood, Out of the Woods or I Know Places. The 4th and 5th single should be interesting since no one knows for sure and there's no big consensus. Blank Space and Style obvious choices right away.

"1989" just passed 4 million in album sales in just 12 weeks - it's the fastest to reach 4 million since Usher's "Confessions" in 2004. It took "Red" and Speak Now" 69 weeks to reach 4 million; "Fearless" took 50 weeks; and her debut album took 125 weeks. It's going to beat "Red" next week or the week after.

Taylor's twitter and instagram got hacked today and they said they had nude pics of her.  This was her reponse. 

 

 

Anyway, she posted another great message to a young fan on tumblr.

Taylor's reponse: http://taylorswift.tumblr.com/post/109275791245/worldoftayswift-worldoftayswift

 

He replied by saying, "Im gonna read this every time I get upset."

 

 

I got excited too when I first heard it on the radio (last week) because I didn't expect it to hear it.  Can't wait for the video!

:( I was hoping for a "Style" performance. I guess we'll see that at the Brit Awards instead. Also, if she was going to perform it would've been her fourth straight year. Most artists don't even get to perform two years in a row let alone three years in a row.

On Supernatural tonight, Dean (who mostly loves classic rock) was de-aged to about 14 or 15, and started enjoying Taylor Swift music. Once he got back to his normal age, "Shake It Off" came on the radio, and he decided he still liked it.

I laughed and for some reason thought of this thread.

    • Ron C breakdowns usually involve quick snip scenes.. and so far, it is apparent in spades.  I wish we had the longer scenes like we had in the previous few episodes. And I see Febreeze appeared again today.  More airtime/purpose than Ashley/Derek LOL
    • I loved Felicia and Donna. They were two of the reasons I couldn't stop watching the show even when the writing was horrible. I was never really a fan of Rachel's unless she was sniping at Cecile (my fave character!). But Felicia and Donna (especially Anna Stuart) are AW to me. Of course, it was around the time of their arrivals that I remember I started watching the show. I was 10 in '83. For me, they were always there. I wouldn't have wanted either of them to be killed off.  Rachel and Mac were okay for me but I never saw most of their relationship play or Rachel's previous work with Steve and Alice. I just saw her as there; the matriarch. Never a fan of Rachel and Carl. It made no sense whatsoever.  I did like Quinn and was shocked when they killed her off. Her and Zack were just starting to become a couple I wanted to watch. She should definitely have been a fixture on the show along with her family. Carter and Thomasina I thought were fun and a great couple, too.  That's the thing about being an AW fan. The show was always on the brink of greatness, but then it would shoot itself in the foot with stupid decisions from writing to cast exits, etc. They could just never quite get it together. The cast was amazing! It's the only thing that saved them for so long. 
    • I LOVED LD on AW...one of my all time favorite characters! However, on OLTL, her character was pretty pointless from the word go. I think trying to make her this character she played decades before was also a bad choice. She should have been a brand new character that could have been tied into the current canvas better. Rae really had no connections or family on the show. Imagine if she had been brought on as a recast Melinda Cramer, freshly released from the hospital. She would have been tied into a major family, be Kelly's mother, and have some real drama to play opposite RS.
    • it's up  BTG Episode #48 - May 8th cbs.com https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/vEQupDSVKChQKTvVWgX8mrUj2kCJEQTv/ paramountplus https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/video/vEQupDSVKChQKTvVWgX8mrUj2kCJEQTv/
    • I agree DZ is doing good work.  It's nice to see him getting meaty material again.  It's just off. Sonny was also low key the voice of reason saying when talking about Gio which I don't love lol.  And, yes, Dante calling a 15? 16? kid who had a couple of beers reckless at heart is silly.  I think most people had a few drinks in high school.  In isolation, the scenes with Jason/Danny were good when he was talking about AJ's drinking problem.  If you ignore everything else about what Jason did to AJ it was a good historic throwback.
    • @janea4old Tricia Mann-Grant also called Leslie a narcissist in the ET special before it premiered. Thank you! Looking forward to it.
    • -- This is maddening. DZ is acting his ass off, but the script is a mess. As you said, if Dante came down hard on Rocco, these outbursts would make some sense. Comparatively, though, Rocco got a pass, and that's just insane. Dante's not only criticizing Danny and Gio, but the people who raised them. It's just nuts. -- And then Dante goes to his father -- the mob boss killer WHO SHOT DANTE -- to declare Danny "reckless at heart." JFC. -- Kai was in the hospital for that dislocated shoulder about 3x as long as Sonny was in the hospital for his heart. Make it make sense.  
    • I'm really of the mind now that Leslie really did have that abortion and Eva isn't Ted or her child. 
    • Isn’t it thrilling to get that kind of buzz from a performance again? If this show had nothing else going for it (and it has other real strengths, including the actress opposite her), that would be enough to keep me invested.
