Honestly I’m getting a little tired of this narrative that Taylor hates Speak Now, she skipped over it, she doesn’t care about it, etc etc.

First of all, at this point there are officially 6 gowns for Enchanted. It’s definitely a part of the set that she looks forward to because she fucking loves her great gowns beautiful gowns so jot that down!!! She did not have six custom gowns made for a single song because she hates the era I can assure you… meanwhile the rep body suit literally has holes in it and still she’s rocking it like she suddenly has a budget 😭

Second of all, she added Long Live to the set and made it a huge moment with her band and she grins the entire time she sings it. Sure, Speak Now has the smallest set of the eras but at least she’s THERE .. not every era can say the same …

Third of all, she’s in the middle of a world tour while simultaneously trying to wrap up the re-recordings project. Between you and me, I think we can expect a lot less time in between the re-recordings from here on out. Red and Fearless only got massive moments because they occurred when they were the only things she had going on - no tour, no new record, etc etc. Now, she has a LOT going on.

It’s also worth it to note that I don’t really believe in “being in the Speak Now TV era“ or “being in the 1989 TV era.” There is no such thing as a SNTV era because it was created to mimic the original … what we are in is the eras era. In general. We are doing all the eras currently. People getting up in arms because “SNTV didn’t have a moment“ IS SO CORNY !!! I’d rather have the new album idk I guess I just like getting new stuff … she could’ve dropped them all at once and I’ve have gobbled them up, I really don’t need SNTV to have an “era” 😭

And there’s me: just happy to be fed whatever she’s willing to give us

cheesefries

for real. also speak now has always kinda been the fandoms little secret with her.

lavendersnake

Haha I cackled at this picture. Yeah I can understand the mourning when she changed her photo back to midnights but now that there’s something new it is ok to move forward

.

I think it's the new swifties projecting bc they don't like it and 1989, as her biggest pop record, is more approachable and easier to understand for newer fans.

People getting upset about Speak Now should try walking in my shoes….. A Debut stan. Now THAT has the smallest set on the Eras Tour.

Anastasia Kill

I don’t say this in a negative way but I am excited for the re-recording to be finished, I love them I can’t wait for the remaining ones, and I bask in this monumental moment of Taylor’s career because it will be crazy to talk about years from now but once the eras era ends I am excited to see what comes next from her not in a greedy way but it will be a second phase of her career, before and after the eras era

Megan

NAWT the holes in the rep bodysuit 😭😭😭

Leslie

Did Fearless even have a big moment? She pretty much dropped it and went radio silent again. It didn't even get a music video. Red had a big moment mostly because of the ATW short film - most of the appearances and promo she did were about that, not really the album. I just don't know what people expect at this point. What does it mean for a re-record to have its "moment"? She's not going to do a whole album cycle for these things.

Gracie Day

Unrelated, but it occurred to me today that it really was a False God

Nitya Kadambi

Agree completely. I think a lot of it is coming from new fans who missed the original eras. I dk what to tell them but it’s not going to be the same, nor should it be! Red tv did feel special and different because of all too well 10, and I think your point about there not being so much going on also contributes. The eras tour is the biggest highlight of Taylor’s career thus far (as it should be!). I think at this point she wants the re recordings to go out quickly, given the popularity of her entire discography at this current moment in time.

Diana

Agreed. I think she’s ready to get these re records out because everyone is streaming the hell out of the stolen versions due to the tour. I know she’d rather have everyone stream her versions at this point.

Ryan

it also kinda makes sense that she’s giving more time and effort to albums that we’re more successful commercially noah fence to speak now like that’s just good business

Holly Noel

I am definitely under the impression that she's planning on releasing the other TVs while on the Eras tour, and may even announce the new era before/on the final date. It just makes sense.

Forty2times

She's battling potential over exposure (not necessarily from what she's doing specifically but more from the louder, more obnoxious Swifties starting to annoy the shit out of the locals) and brand fatigue, while also going on an insanely huge tour, and you know she's itching for new music to come out. Giving 6 months per TV era would be foolish when she's already in the headlines and has such amazing fwd momentum. I want the TVs and if she dropped them all before next spring, I'd be happy. Heck, Rep for Xmas time and debut before the euro leg would be great. Then would come the insanity of TS 11. She's on a roll if she plays her cards right and she knows it. Staggering the TVs would f### that up.

t.

i wonder what they expect her to do? i rly think she added the blue outfits to make it a special announcement different from SNTV. each TV now has special individual moments that fans can appreciate, why are we comparing as if they HAVE to be equal anyway? speak now fans need to appreciate they got quality production and a beautiful cover, not every re-recording can say THAT!

Lyndsey

It seems like people who were not there for the original albums rollout want it to be a grand, spectacular moment since they couldn't experience it the first time around. I am not that tuned into insta, Twitter, and TikTok drama so this is my half-baked thought.

Swiftlennial

Why can’t people just enjoy the ride that is the Eras era and be grateful for the bounty we have received and will continue to receive? To be alive right now! 💜💙🖤💚🫶

Lyndsey

Also speak now got arguably got better treatment than red TV based on the rerecordings production and overall performance on the eras tour. She literally got the koi fish guitar back on tour....and you wanna tell me she isn't giving love, care, and attention to speak now TV? What else do you want? 10 interviews on TV?

Holly98

I totally agree! Plus she had a whole launch party during her concerts over the weekend it came out. In a lot of ways, it got more attention than Fearless Red. I think Speak Now holds a special place in her heart because it is the only album written entirely by her on her own. I think She has a lot of pride in Speak Now it. It comes across whenever she speaks about it. Plus, I think the success of the album, especially the vault tracks speak for themselves. They were overall well received. And she broke records with her Speak Now TV so I think it speaks for itself. It’s a great album. 💜

Little Kevin

Sometimes I think about how it felt like we’d never see her again back in 2017 or whatever I’m just like… all of this is bonus!!!! Every damn song is bonus!!

Vrishti Hasija

Also i dont want SN to be locals thing.. so i am glad she actually didnt do big promo and all… its always been for fans and i love it that way..

Mr. Watermelon

She said she love this album so much and it means a lot to her and also her prologue she wrote in the Speak Now TV booklet for me it's enough I need to hear and see. But also what I think she did with speak now tv album rollout it just like "just between us" thing and I love because that's kind of the album Speak Now is.

Melina

I think most people say it jokingly but, I get where you’re coming from 🙃

KiwiKat

100% agreed on this. SNTV got its moment, it’s not a brand new album and era and people need to get their minds around that. None of these TV will have the same time to marinate as the originals, that would be silly. We’re in the Eras Era and I’m living for it. I have my SNTV merch, I’ve got my album, I’ve seen all the pretty gowns, I’m ready to move to the next. 🩵

Swifties™ at their cores are unoriginal. They only know how to say the same two jokes over and over. Let the locals have this. We'll enjoy 1989TV like a fine wine and they can stay sobbing in the corner over I Can See You lol

Ty

I agree each Taylor’s version is a part of the eras era. I would love new material but I am also less excited about the re-records now a few years in and so I want her to rush to finish them so they can be out and done. We prob won’t get new music until after the tour so it’s really great to have these fun little things to look forward to while we wait. It’s going to be so weird to go back to getting less Taylor when this is done

Gianna

THANK YOU MADELINE! I’m so sick of it. It was annoying when they said she hated Evermore and it’s annoying now. People just want pity from other people by painting themselves to be unloved to fish for attention.

Rachel Lieberman

I've noticed this obsessive ~nostalgia~ aspect to Swifties...it feels like longing for high school. Like, I understand nostalgia but can we not agree that her music is becoming more lyrically complex, poetic, and thoughtful as time goes on? Why are we not excited for the PRESENT? lol

Mad Esme at the Plaza Athénée

I also think a large part of it is the fact that we've been fed easter eggs/clowning/anticipating SNTV for 8+ months now, it was built up to such an incredible height, so to move on so very quickly does cause a bit of whiplash. But I get it, she doesn't want Scooter to keep adding pennies to his crown, she needs these released yesterday! I think the next releases will come out on a more manageable timeline. As a newer Swiftie, I'm thrilled at having the chance to enjoy the hype around the re-releases, and while the perpetual clowning is exhausting, I don't really care how long each "era" lasts, as long as we get the TVs, we can listen to them whenever and however often we want, regardless of what is currently being promoted.

Michaela Wagner

As someone who says SN is my fave I have to agree!! She literally made 2 music videos dedicated to referencing speak now what more so they want??? A tour??? 1989 has ALWAYS been one of her favourites of course she’s going to be more excited about it. This is the one that will pop off with the locals too! They looooove it

bec846

Great gowns, beautiful gown rotation for the Speak Now set ... dead 😹

Angela H

Taylor said it herself : she’s in her eras era. I agree with you! 💚💛💜❤️🩵🖤🩷🩶🤎💙

Elise Fischer

Foreal. Speak Now already had its own era 13 years ago. Plus if they want to spend more time focusing on it, they can. Just because Taylor announced 1989 doesn’t mean they can’t still appreciate speak now

Keeping it real, Zack, as always.
