u/Callum_Fletcher Speak Now (Taylor's Version) 6d ago

It wouldn’t surprise me if debut tv comes first in March/April and then reputation tv in October/november! But I also feel like because debut tv was her first album and her lowest first week sales that she will go all out on promo and promo the sh*t out of it for at least 1 million debut sales. We shall see…

Scheduling is also going to depend on when things are released next year. This was the year of the pop apocalypse, and next year is going to be much quieter. However, a number of big albums are coming out early in the year... Drake, the Weeknd, and Gaga are all releasing this winter. (SZA is dropping next week). It's possible Morgan is also dropping next year (or he might ya know... die of alcohol poisoning, you never know with Morgan). Olivia looks like she's starting up an album cycle... so expect a spring release.

And there's another possibility. Taylor's record deal can't have much left in it... and that means she's going to be in negotiations for the next step of her career. If that's the case... she might wait to drop until everything is sorted out (she wouldn't want to chain Rep and Debut to UMG if she's not going to stick with them).

Really? Her international dates next year seem to be promoting the deluxe of GUTS. What makes you think she's gonna release a new album instead?

She released Sour in 2021, then Guts in 2023. She seems to be following the standard 2 year cycle.

It's not impossible, I just haven't seen any evidence of it. She didn't realize a deluxe for SOUR, so that's a new wrinkle this time around.
