Administrator Toups Posted September 5, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted September 5, 2015 Yeah, sometimes it's random because she'll find out during the concert who's there. It's a great way to network and to surprise your audience. Like, I said, it doesn't hurt anyone, so why not do it at some of the shows? I like to stay away from Jezebel and other sites like that. I call them "hate sites." LOL I think she will transition from straight up pop to pop/rock (U2, Coldplay, One Republic) in her 30's. Then in her 40's, she'll settle in that pop/rock/country sound. And I think that's when she's going to start writing and producing for other artists and become the next Max Martin - writing and producing #1 songs for younger artists for the next 20 years. I also see her starting her own record label. I went to my first one in July - my second one will be in October. I had floor seats and was right in of the rail and was about halfway between the catwalk, so I saw her walk pass by me multiple times. And sometimes she would stop right in from of me. That's the closest I'll probably ever get to her. I doubt I'll ever get the chance to meet her. LOL Happy birthday!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 23, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted September 23, 2015 I can't name you one Ryan Adams song but I really liked his 1989 cover album. His style isn't really my style but some songs are fantastic! AYHTWS is favourite. It has an 80's rock vibe to it. I can't stop listening to this. LOL Then my next two favourites are IWYW (the instrumentals during the chorus make the song) and This Love the original is already slow but Ryan slows it down even more by playing it on piano and by doing that makes the song even more sadder). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted September 23, 2015 Members Share Posted September 23, 2015 Quick question, Toups: When we were talking about Taylor's future recently and you said that you could see her starting her own record label, I wanted to ask you: Do you see taking over Big Machine someday from Scott Borchetta? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 24, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted September 24, 2015 I don't think so. There are rumours that Scott is trying to sell Big Machine but he's not getting any bids because people are waiting to see if Taylor signs a new contract first - she has one album and a greatest hits album left on her contract. It wouldn't make sense for someone to buy Big Machine if Taylor isn't with it. She/her parents own a small percentage of Big Machine but I don't think Taylor has enough money to buy Scott's shares. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 8, 2015 Members Share Posted October 8, 2015 Really loving wildest dreams song…didnt really like it when I first heard it when the album was released... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted October 13, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted October 13, 2015 I love it when Taylor talks about writing/producing her songs. She played a couple more of her voice notes and showed snippets of some recording sessions. I really like the instrument that Imogeon Heap uses for the beginning of "Clean" - it makes such cool sounds. Part 3: https://www.grammypro.com/professional-development/video/listening-session-taylor-swift-1989-part-3 Part 2: https://www.grammypro.com/professional-development/video/listening-session-taylor-swift-1989-part-2 Part 1: https://www.grammypro.com/professional-development/video/listening-session-taylor-swift-1989-part-1 I wish they would release the entire thing, even if it's hours long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted October 27, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Taylor Swift's '1989' Only Fifth Album to Spend First Year in Billboard 200's Top 10 Nice! Congrats, Taylor! Wanted to wait a year before I did my rankings for '1989' because sometimes songs take time to grow on you, or something happens that make you really like a song. I like every song but I separated them into four tiers. 1. Blank Space 1. Style 1. Out Of The Woods 1. I Wish You Would 1. All You Had To Do Was Stay 6. Shake It Off 7. This Love 8. You Are In Love 8. Clean 10. Welcome To New York 11. Wonderland 12. Wildest Dreams 12. I Know Places 14. Bad Blood 14. New Romantics 16. How You Get The Girl Edited October 27, 2015 by Toups 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted October 27, 2015 Members Share Posted October 27, 2015 A beautiful acoustic version of Out Of The Woods. I just want this song to be a single so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted October 27, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Beautiful. I hope they release more songs that she performed that night. I really want her "Greatest Hits" album to be an acoustic album. Instead of just cutting/pasting songs to create a Best Of, do what Ryan Adams did for 1989 and make an entire new/acoustic sound for each song.

Members Soapsuds Posted December 7, 2015 Members Share Posted December 7, 2015 I noticed she had gotten a lot of nominations but IMO Blank Space is in no way Song or Record of the year…its one of my least favorite from her album. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted December 7, 2015 Members Share Posted December 7, 2015 I think the pop categories are her best bet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
