TS13 THEORY
we all know taylor never stops songwriting. A month after red was released she was back in the studio with Max and shellback starting 1989. Showgirls seems to have been mostly done by early this year, so yes I would assume she already has material for TS13. It would be album nr. 13 and the concept of getting married, true love being forever and always, etc. has obviously been a theme in all of her albums. It would be kind of a full-circle moment.
I can see the wedding being this big fairytale event. Followed up by an album in a white fairytale theme, referencing Fearless, Love Story, …
Am I waiting for it? No, not really The world does’t feel like Fairyland right now. I understand pop can be a form of escapeism, but an album about a lavish multimillion wedding in this climate. I guess it would leave a sour taste in a lot of mouths.
I am 100% certain she has already gotten a good amount of the thirteenth album done, or is even sitting on it already. She is constantly working on art, and I'm sure she is already on another era creatively.
Am I the only one that thinks this? What do you think her next record would be like? I'm thinking maybe something darker, more aggressive, commentary-loaded, almost like Reputation but for the current political moment. I think that is the only logical next step for her as an artist but curious what others thing..
btw, I'd love an album with a concept like Death of a Bachelor, reflecting on the past and the changes of lifestyle marriage brings. I wouldn't care much for another I love Travis album haha.
there is my second guesses:
Released Spring 2027. Specifically March 12th, 2027. (I think there's a hint at this in the Opalite MV)
I think "13" (or "Thirteen") is a contender for the title.
I think the wedding will be covered in at least one of the songs. Maybe thoughts on starting a family?
I could see strings ala Bridgerton or acoustic guitar songs.
Hoping for the return of Jack and Aaron!
Hope it's recorded in NYC and upstate at Long Pond.
Maybe aqua/teal as the color?
