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!!!  :)

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).

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.

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.

I wish they would release the entire thing, even if it's hours long.

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

Beautiful. :wub:  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.

    • Haley and Jacob had more chemistry in their small interaction than I ever saw between Naomi and Jacob. Same with Haley and Derek actually - that was one of the few times I can recall Derek ever having any life in him. 
    • -- Anita going through Ted and Nicole's wedding album. Really??? -- Dani defending Ted in her conversation with Nicole. Really??? -- Bill wants a child with Hayley. Really??? -- Many people are saying "Dana can't be Eva's mother" because of the way Dana treats her. Maybe she's not her mother, but that biological connection has nothing to do with it. Dana has functioned as Eva's mother all of her life. There's no reason to believe giving birth to her makes the difference. -- Hayley is hilarious for being so clueless and tone deaf when she comments on others' mistakes and flaws. God, she's dumb. -- Alex Alegria continues to suck as Tomas. Soooooo wooden. -- Ambyr Michelle stole the episode.  
    • I was fine with Greg and Paige as a couple (ick factors and all, lol).  What I didn't like was how juvenile their push-and-pull was, with Greg alienating her repeatedly and arbitrarily, and Paige leaving him and/or The Sumner Group in a huff, only to come back together, like, thirty minutes later, lol. I get that Greg was not someone who enjoyed sharing his feelings with others, but c'mon.  He was a little too old for all that on-again/off-again [!@#$%^&*]; and so was Paige, and so were we. Mary Robeson wasn't her aunt, though.  Thanks to WBTV's Primetime Soaps app, I was able to rewatch all of S14, and I learned that, in fact, Mary was her aunt - which I guess made Joe her uncle? Truly, I thank the streaming gods for being able to rewatch the final season, because, for the past 30+ years, I never was able to understand how Mary and Joe, Nick and Vanessa, Val's disappearance and Treadwell (and Abby) all fit together; and even now, it still seems a trifle sketchy to me.  (The shortened season and reduced budget wreaked some havoc on the storytelling, did it not, lol?)
    • Oh Lord! They don't dare put her near Jacob. 
    • And knowing Hayley she’d somehow feel like she was the victim

    • So not only did Hayley steal her daddy, but now you want Hayley to steal Naomi's husband? LOL.
    • Omg

    • '92. I was looking for when Vanessa called Billy a sonofabitch. Then I got sucked into '92 and got rewarded by finding Vanessa and Mo getting sloshed. (3/6/92, I believe). Then the Blackout...lol, and just kept falling down the rabbit hole. This is lateOct/earlyNov. I couldn't believe my ears!  Reva's marriage to Billy was before they came to town. But yeah... Maybe it was Harley and Gus that CarJack lost to later. thanks! Thanks @Paul Raven  this is a fascinating read. 
    • I just have this feeling Bill and Leslie about to be the next big thing. Not sure what that means for Hayley but if they want to be messy they could put her in Jacob's orbit. They had a bit of chemistry during their scene at Orphey Gene's a few months back.
    • You give her alot of credit. I really think she is in her feelings about what she feels Eva did to her. If this was just an act, there really wouldnt be a need to throw away her picture when she was alone. She's not feeling Eva right now and isnt thinking logically, which has been the case for her for much of this plan. I think she'll go back to Eva once she's calmed down but i dont think she's faking She's mad and in her feelings
