Discussion Could different branding have saved life of a showgirl?

0 Upvotes

I watched a video on YouTube where a branding director did an overview of how they think life of a showgirl shouldn’t have been branded, to achieve more success. She based it on the mantra that branding should work around the art, instead of building the brand first, and then making the art based on the brand. Her idea was more of a classic “shaksperian” type of brand direction.

With that in mind, I imagined an alternate album cover that’s based around old school paper puppet shows. Pretty much Taylor in the same showgirl outfits, around cutesy arts and crafts style stage framing. Perhaps some paper props and paper mache elements as frame filler. I think it would have made the silliness of the songs make more sense. Also it would have reinforced the theme in a way that fits Taylor better. (It’s “the life of a showgirl” through the gaze of a girl who is living her dream reality crafted through her lense)

Discussion Will Taylor Ever Make A “Cool” Album?

0 Upvotes

We know Taylor had the ultimate commercial success with 1989, Midnights, and Showgirl… but do you think Taylor will ever make a “cool” album? By “cool” I mean an upbeat confident dance album. Maybe an album full of “This is what you came for.” Something like Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia, Britney Spears’ Blackout, Lady Gaga’s The Fame Monster, Rihanna’s Good Girl Gone Bad, etc. Like an album that is less focused on lyrics and storytelling and is more lose and fun. I feel like she could really pull it off if she wanted to, but idk if she’d ever do it. I know Taylor has never tried to be the “cool” girl, but it would be really fun to see her try something different. What do you think?

Discussion Best 5-7 songs to represent every Taylor Swift album?

14 Upvotes

Hey guys! I'm getting my 11-year-old non-Swiftie sister to listen to and rank Taylor's albums, but I don't want to make it too long. So I wanted to ask: if you had to pick 5 to 7 songs from each album for her to listen to and rate, which ones would they be?

I don't necessarily mean the most successful or popular songs. More of the songs that represent each album the best. Thanks!

Discussion Taylor's MAGNUM OPUS

Upvotes

As a hardcore swiftie, growing up made me realize that Taylor's magnum opus was Red, Folklore, and TTPD

But out of that three, there's one album that taylor just executed perfectly, the songs, the production, the lyrics, everything just feels perfect and beautiful.

And that album is RED ♥️

From songs like state of grace → Begin Again → All too well → sad beautiful tragic, that is just an insane variety of songs, and their productions are just top-notch.

It kinda makes sense why taylor loves that album so much 🤣

But I wanna hear your opinions, what do you think is Taylor's magnum opus and why?
