#Ts7 is coming

[ts-track9]

Now I don’t do the clock app BUT IF I DID I have a trend I would like to start when Tim McGraw (TV) comes out. Stay with me…it’s gonna be a long one.

I feel like a lot of us are known as “the taylor swift kid/fan/person(/whatever word you like)” and we know we have that affect that when people think Taylor Swift, they think of us.

SO

The audio would be the chorus and we’d type (or even film) with how people think of us when they think of Taylor Swift.

So like this:

• my oversized tshirts

• blasting her music in the car

• the excitement of hearing her songs in public

• etc etc

OR

• “I hope you think my favorite song”/getaway car

• “the one we danced to all night long”/blasting in my car

• “the moon like a spotlight on the lake”/driving down the highway

• “when you think happiness”/(leave it blank)

• “I hope you think that little black dress”/me dancing along to speak now world tour

• “think of my head on your chest”/(could leave blank if you’re directing it at an ex? idk)

• “and my old faded blue jeans”/(could do like your signature look or a tour outfit/Halloween costume)

• “when you think Tim McGraw, I hope you think of me”/ (make it Taylor Swift* and end with a cute pic or vid of you)

Idk it might be stupid. If anyone read all this thank you love you 💕

christian siriano tweeted a rainbow gown in the process of being made:

“Proud to be a gay designer! #HAPPYPRIDE everyone celebrating in DC this weekend! Can’t wait for this gown to come to life. Who will wear it???? 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 #pride”

(and yes, that is seven rainbows as in ts7)

[idsb]

I still am trying to figure out the name of TS7 because Taylor is gaslighting me into thinking it’s not the giant “Lover” sign in the music video for ME! (which I am pretending is the best song I’ve ever heard in my life btw), wdym TS11 comes out this week

[chickawah23]

Can you expand on interlude eras? Like she’s building to something?

Sure. Sorry if this is too long winded.

Way back when I would say that I felt like folklore and evermore were interlude albums. Like they were created because the pandemic happened and the masters issues happened which both created a perfect storm that destroyed Lover’s plans. And whatever was supposed to happen with that era had to be shelved and replaced with a new plan to hold onto fan and public engagement so these albums created a way to do to hold onto engagement. Then the pandemic ended and the new plans and narratives had to play out which took time and further detoured from where Lover intended to go. Taylor also had to focus on rerecording her old albums.

So to me she’s been trapped in this limbo of keeping fans engaged in the re-recordings which already have a public facing lore about various guys while continuing to move forward. So Midnights comes towards the tail end of this rerecording process with a reintroduction to herself and revisiting some concepts from Lover (Daylight closed the ts7 and was almost the album title before things changed). So in my mind Midnights was the first glimpse into returning back to her main plan to get back to where she wanted to go with Lover. Also Taylor used this clock motif and added a countdown to Midnight where the real Taylor can exist. She even had a pocket watch with that 3, 2, 1 to exile countdown in the Bejeweled mv.

Then MidnighTS 3am version came. Then with TTPD we got this double length album surprise at 2am. And the 3,2,1 imagery has continued. And it makes it feel like this is all part of a countdown. TTPD is an album that feels like it serves to clean up the pr mess from the detour plans created by the pandemic and whatever mess happened with her former boyish beau (MH) while also feeding the same narrative of getting back to where she wants to be which is back on the track Lover was headed to. And this album is just biding that time.

An interlude until daylight.

But to wrap up the 3,2,1 hints: idk if there will be 1 more new album (not a rerecording) that gives off interlude vibes before a daylight moment but it seems to fit with what I’m seeing. But who knows plans can change. And I could be completely wrong.

Anywho just my rambly thoughts.

Taylor at the iheart awards: wHaT’s Ts7 ? I dOn’T hAvE nEw mUsic coMinG. Y'all are dumb lol 🌴 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴 🦋🦋🦋🌈🌈

A brief history of Cruel Summer:

May 2019: Taylor releases a cartoon for Me that includes the words cruel summer on a butterfly. People think it’s a lyric on TS7 (which we did not yet know was called Lover. All we had at that time was Me!, 13 million possible Easter eggs, and a dream.)

June 2019: Taylor released the YNTCD video and Ellen had a Cruel Summer tattoo, which it was later revealed she filmed that scene ~the day before Taylor appeared on Ellen in May. All kinds of theories about cruel summer and what it means. We still were a couple of months away from knowing it was a song title on Lover. Gaylors are biggest clowns ever.

Aug 2019: track list revealed, it’s a song title! Lover is released and CS is a fan favorite and clearly would be a hit if she released it as a single and everyone wonders why it wasn’t the lead single. Smart people know that there’s a reason she had Me! and YNTCD as the lead singles, and that the song Lover was the best candidate for her coveted SOTY Grammy dreams so that made sense too. BUT CRUEL SUMMER NEEDS TO BE A SINGLE TAYLOR!!, everyone yelled

Feb 2020: The Man is released as the next single and no one cheered. Except we knew deep down it was just filler because CRUEL SUMMER WAS GOING TO BE THE SONG OF SUMMER 2020!!

March 2020: oops

April 2020: lover fest is cancelled. People still holding out hopes that a song with the name Cruel Summer and a lyric “fever dream high…you know that I caught it” will be ok during a deadly pandemic summer because our president told us it would just miraculously go away. Taylor starts in on Folklore in earnest instead.

Summer 2020: Folklore summer yay! Also, “Taylor acting like a privileged idiot” summer, not so yay, but that was quickly forgotten because folklore yay!

People move on from cruel summer. They mourn it. They get the closure they need.

Dec 2020: Taylor released another album but I forget what it was.

2021: the year of the re-recordings yay!! We can’t have tour but at least we have this!!

2022: will she tour this year and we’ll get to hear CS live? No? Well at least we still have a more re-recordings. Right?

Oct 2022: midnights is released. Cruel summer single is just a silly memory from the before times.

June 2023: Gxgjxkhdkdkydkhdkhfjvjfj

New clowning about Barbie, Florence Pugh, a tour movie video, coming out (still!!)

Whatever she comes up with, let’s hear it for the resilience of Cruel Summer. I always believed in you!

[honeybabymp3]

you know that post about how. what swifties think is an easter egg is counting stairs and holes in the fence. but the title of ts7 was just a huge sign that said lover. that's everyone's insane theories but the actual '1989 tv announcment coming' flag is just her switching all the costumes to light blue

[thenighttrain]

What's the origin of five holes in the fence? Where did that theory come from?

before lover was released, we were convinced taylor was posting a countdown to the album announcement on instagram (e.g. she posted 7 palm trees with 7 emojis to signify TS7). the next day there was a picture of her sitting on the 6th step on a staircase. the day after that she posted this, and people literally counted the holes in the fence and thought 5 holes = 5 days until an announcement. the next day she didn't post anything so everyone thought she 4got to post, so the theory kind of fell apart. and in fact, the countdown was never real but just something swifties made up 😭

Ay-Yo: MV

Minuses first:

Camerawork. Mostly absent clear focus on the faces and badly captured dance.

The dance wasn't polished in time of the shooting of the MV.

Evidently low budget. (Which is usual for a repack A-side form SM).

Pluses:

Despite the last minute production, the scenario itself was well thought out. There is lore and there are many memorable scenes. Levitating Yuta takes the cake (it's should be his power as he levitated rocks in Limitless).

Fresh looks. I especially liked the jump with Taeyong. For a long time 127 has been stuck in that clean-cut pretty phase, some punk is thus appreciated. It is that element of surprise that is anticipated from a comeback.

JaeDo paired vocally and visually.

Evident lore elements.

I really like "the moon" with "magnetic fields"

The sound dominates the visual part, and the focus is not very clear, thus the overall feeling is that of a hazy semi-dream before awakening. A half-comprehensible dream, when there is no proper storyline or a defined emotion, but enough of confusion. So yeah, I'll call it "haze".

A bit of lore that I can catch without much thinking:

127 entered a dream. The MV starts with Mark in an elevator. Red colours, but blue clothes. 127 are in control of the dream.

I wonder about the neck chains. It has been a long lasting accessory.

The black tunnel should be a visual reference to James Bond movies, but also it's a tunnel (the visible grid of the matrix).

Jaehyun reminds me of Lucas (a bit of here as well). The suit. The corporate man. Lucas, Jaehyun and Jungwoo make a trio. Presumably they can shift levels. The Lab -> Dream realm.

127 should be coming for Black Mamba. Chains might represent the venom (they were in an illusion caused by the snake's venom in Favorite, in a dream they didn't realise was a dream, and which they didn't want to leave), but they broke free or are in the process off.

Johnny and Yuta were lost in the dream reality (the endless mirrors like Lucas had in his trailer and Doyoung in ts7). Jungwoo shifted to their dream-level to help, the glass was shuttered, so neos escaped.

Taeyong has a plan.

Purple and Pink are aespa colours. Magical alien plants is their realm (Flat?). Jaehyun is a hacker. He opens DoWoo's scene like he has finished the hacking process.

Looks like Woo transported Do to aespa's place, because later Do is alone.

After the head of the information security named Doyoung, Mark and Tae, Johnny enter as well (the black tunnel). In Favorite Doyoung (with the help of Woo) was also the first to go.

I guess Taeyong "rotating" the space with the glass walls means 127 are now in control of this dream/illusion.

Levitation is Yuta's power. He hasn't used it for anything yet, but we've seen objects flying around in him in a few MVs.

Jaehyun left the chat with "my job here is done", lol. In his message in the album (? or Lysn?) Jaehyun greeted the fans with "I'm Black rabbit year Jaehyun". It is the year of Black Rabbit, but there is also a hacker group called "Black rabbit world". I guess his black bunny ears is a nod to that.

Dizzee Rascal - Sugar and Spice ft. iLL BLU (Official Video)

Dizzee Rascal keeps summer alive with energetic new visuals 'Sugar And Spice' prod by and featuring iLL BLU

This comes ahead of Dizzee's massive shows at Cardiff, Nottingham and Newcastle in October > grab your tickets HERE!!

Following the 20th anniversary of his seminal album “Boy In Da Corner”, grime icon Dizzee Rascal keeps summer alive with uplifting new single “Sugar And Spice'', produced by and featuring iLL BLU. The track’s sunkissed opening hook gives way to Dizzee’s ever-formidable flow, sharing his appreciation for the finer things in life over a swaggering garage beat. The single’s undeniable energy is a pertinent reminder of the talent that established Dizzee as a chart-topping legend, his ability to move freely through styles is unrivaled, as his closing line reminds us of exactly what he’s here to do: “I mash up the dance then dash”.

This comes ahead of 3 huge live shows to mark the 20th Anniversary celebrations of Boy In Da Corner, where Dizzee will be joined by a stellar cast of support acts to join him on the Nottingham, Cardiff and Newcastle legs of the tour.

With his track ‘Bassline Junkie’ being the unofficial national anthem for the new bassline generation Dizzee has enlisted the support of the biggest up and comers in bassline music today. The much lauded rapper has enlisted the help of Bradford bassline heroes Bad Boy Chiller Crew for all new dates, with DJ/Producer extraordinaire TS7 joining the all star cast for the Newcastle and Notts shows. Window Kid - one of the most deservedly hyped up and coming MC’s on the scene right now will be appearing on all dates and Wales’ most exciting grime / hip hop crossover talent Mace The Great will be joining the Cardiff show.

The electrifying show, which sees Dizzee perform the album in its entirety, followed by all his bassline hits such as ‘Bonkers’ and ‘Bassline Junkie’, will coming to Nottingham’s Motorpoint on 6th October, the Cardiff Utilita Arena on 7th October and Newcastle’s Utilita Arena on 8th October.

Brimming with confidence since his return Dizzee commented: "Before I ever did the first show at the 02 Arena I already knew there was no way this could stay just in London. Looking forward to celebrating 20 years of Boy In Da Corner and my musical journey with the whole of the UK. Roll on October!”

On the anniversary itself Dizzee has said: "It's mad how it's 20 years since Boy In Da Corner! That album changed my life and I'm forever thankful to everyone who's shown love in that time”.

Released in July 2003, when the innovative MC and producer was only 18, Boy In Da Corner won the prestigious Mercury Prize and remains THE definitive grime full-length. The critically-acclaimed LP saw Dizzee labeled “the most original and exciting artist to emerge from dance music in a decade,” by the Guardian.

As one of the UK’s most successful and influential rappers of all time, Dizzee Rascal is credited to bringing UK Grime to the masses during its peak in the mid noughties. After Boy In Da Corner catapulted him to international stardom, he has since worked with some of the biggest artists on the planet, such as Calvin Harris, Arctic Monkeys, Shakira, Armand van Helden, Florence and the Machine, will.i.am and Robbie Williams. He also has four UK #1 hit singles to his name - ‘Dance Wiv Me’, ‘Bonkers’, ‘Holiday’ and ‘Dirtee Disco’ - and six consecutive UK ‘Top 20’ albums - Showtime, Maths + English, Tongue ‘n’ Cheek, The Fifth, Raskit and E3 AF.

A welcome extension to the 20th anniversary celebrations for what is a truly legendary album, Dizzee Rascal’s October shows simply cannot be missed.

ELLEN CALLED IT

[drunkliketaylor]

I HOPE ITS GONNA MAKE YOU NOTICE

So we’ve all noticed that Taylor changed an old vlog’s name from I Love You Guys. to I hope it’s gonna make you notice. And at the end of the video the word Home appears on the screen. HERES MY THEORY: at first I thought this was saying TS7 is in fact called home, which was a pretty popular theory and one that I was on board with. But then I decided to do a little digging. The song playing during this video is Use Somebody by Kings of Leon. Here’s the lyrics:

Notice the SEVENTH lyric has the word LOVERS. And what’s the 13th line? I hope it’s gonna make you notice. This makes me think TS7 is called Lover or Lovers. I think Taylor titled the video I hope it’s gonna make you notice because the hint is the song that’s playing. Also to be noted, Kings of Leon was formed in Nashville in 1999, ten years after Taylor was born.

Side note, this is another instance where 7 and 13 have been brought up, making me think the album will be announced/a countdown will begin on 7/13, it will last for 13 days, and the album will come out on 7/26.

So @taylorswift @taylornation did I get it right?
