EnterTheCronic Newsletter: SEPTEMBER Edition (Patreon)

Hey Cronicans! 💜

What a month. From August 19 to September 22, we closed out the Lover era, stepped into the darkness of Reputation, finished some Sunset and Sunrise album versions of Taylor Swift's material, and brought back Mango Mondays. We've also been building a healthier rhythm at home so we can keep doing this with you for years to come.

Here's everything that happened, what you loved most, and what's coming next. Grab a coffee and enjoy the therapy of music with us. ☕🎶

UPDATES FOR EVERYONE

🎉 ETC turns 5 on October 3!

Five years ago we started this channel. On October 3 we celebrate our 5th anniversary, on the same day as Showgirl's first birthday. We couldn't have planned it better.

And we're not stopping there. October is a full month of Taylor anniversaries: Midnights, Red, Debut turning 20, Speak Now, and 1989. Keep an eye out for polls so you can help us decide how we celebrate each one. Exact drop days will be on the Sunday schedule.

📅 Our weekly rhythm

Sunday: K-pop (Stray Kids, SEVENTEEN, SB19)

Monday: Mango Monday + Metal

Tuesday: Taylor Swift + member requests

Wednesday: Viral Day + Film

Thursday: member requests + History

Friday: Taylor Swift

New drops go live at 9 AM PDT, and the weekly schedule posts every Sunday.

🌅 Sunset & Sunrise albums are DONE!

Every full Taylor Swift album in the Sunset and Sunrise collection is now complete and waiting for you on Patreon.

🥭 Mango Mondays are back!Alanna and I have now shared five Mango Mondays with you, and members get each one a full week before it hits YouTube.

🐍 From Lover to ReputationWe celebrated Lover's seventh anniversary, said goodbye to that era with City of Lover, and then stepped into Reputation: the album, the music videos, the behind-the-scenes, and the Stadium Tour. Your comments guided so much of this journey, and you kept it spoiler-free for us every step of the way. Swifties, you're incredible.

❤️ What you loved most

Your most-hearted posts this month were the Reputation album (68), The Icon Sessions (56), The Attempted Takedown (56), and Clean (52). The full top 10 is in the members' section below.

🏡 A note from our home to yours

Alanna is now working alongside me full time, and it has changed everything for us. She also has something she's been missing for a long time: set times that are just for her. She's back at the gym and back to writing, and I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see the joy that's come back into her days. When she's taken care of, she brings so much more of herself to all of you.

We're also protecting Sundays for church and family. That lets us keep showing up for you without running on empty. Some weeks with big album reactions are still heavy, but we're finding our rhythm, and that means more of us for the long run.

Congratulations, Kmajla13! You're our Where in the World is Tay-Tay? champion! 🌍🏆 Thank you to everyone who played along from London to Vienna.

Gam Gam, your Swiftie unboxing made our whole week. Thank you for sharing that joy with us.

Freeze the Fall: watching Jonah, Quinn, and Aria grow has been one of our favourite things. It means even more knowing them personally, and we're so proud of them.

You want to vote on what we react to. So you'll see more polls from us, starting with how we celebrate each Taylor anniversary this October.

Many of you love to lurk, and that's perfect. You don't have to comment to belong here. Just being here is enough, and we're grateful for every one of you. 💜

Thank you for being part of this. Every heart, comment, request, and live night is why we get to keep doing what we love.

Enjoy the therapy of music.
