#ts7 concept

[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.

Dont get me wrong ....I was frustrated and annoyed by jaewoos popularity so that I decided to do a quick research on woo's ships in 127....here is my theory...correct me as I knw I could be wrong....

When woo included in nct he was went with the concept of mark's soulmate??..may be sm was testing the water I understand...even in the radish pulling game episode where do jae and woo being asked questions about mark woo couldn't answer it properly..it I can say that mark and woo is close but their shipping didnt work...I think domark is still popular than woomark....sm didnt even try to ship woo with haechan I think....they can make a content funny but shipping didnt work...with taeil they did everything they can but didnt get the popularity they wanted...and yuta had a crush on woo and they did the shipping things but still yuta most of the all time prefer mark as his bf....and johnny I dont knw how they worked....i didnt even heard anything about johnny and woo I dont even knw their ship name...sorry....but u can add if u are aware of anything I didnt include here....ok....and with dy we all knw....so take ty...they were awkward first...but the ice is melting now...woo is the only person who visited ty in his solo mv shooting...and they talking about each other now....so I really hope their ship get the all popularity so jaedo could have their moment.....

Lastly jae....just put aside the fact that it is the only ship jae prefer to do infront of fans and camera only becoz he dont hate woo and also comfortable to annoy woo in public too....woo is not all that innocent for him it is the only ship that is very popular for now....so he does everything to go smoothly with this ship...so they both annoy each other...the problem with woo is that he is not effortlessly funny....he needs to make effort to be funny...if he is not funny he wont be seen in their vedeos...he is kinda moody person as far as I knw. ..so he cant work on both shipping and make fun all the time...and jae have no problem in make their ship float well...so in jaewoo woo can both do shipping and make fun for their group too....he dont have to make all the effort coz jae is helping him too.....

I knw I wrote this mainly to calm me down ...and may be all of my theory as not right...but it cant be fully wrong.....eventhough I am not an observer like you but I did made an effort...so u can correct me and can u reply ur opinion on this..?..thankyou

Hm. SM, without a doubt, uses shipping on earlier stages. We can see it currently with Riize ("Memories" MV) and Lastart (the way Yusion is portrayed and promoted). Neo City tour had bl fanservice.

That being said, Jungwoo used shipping so much himself, and very openly so, that it is hard to say where it was primarly his initiative with different members (and SM used the footage) and where it was by the management's design. SM tried different MC combinations (IlWoo, MarkWoo, DoWoo, JohnWoo), but I don't remember a special accent on LuWoo (and the ship was a super popular ship back in the day).

WooMark was a thing. They did vlives together, 24h relays.

The members understand shipping, and use it for entertainment as well (YuMark is the most blatant example). As you correctly pointed it out, it's not just for the purpose of being liked as a (bl) ship, but mainly as an easy to-go-to entertainment tactic. Fans like cuddles and interactions. Most fans don't ship seriously (as in really believe there is something), they just pretend. How many times Woo used "(to Yuta) Liii-oon" joke? Yuta can just hug Mark, and some footage to include into group content is ready.

Anyway. I don't think JaeWoo will disappear anytime soon. Not as long as DJJ exists. What we can wish for is for JaeDo to start to get their two-men content/gigs again. Woo is popular enough to be sent alone on shows nowadays, he doesn't need DoWoo anymore as much.

Woo is absent from ts7 unit, so let's look forward to Baggy jeans are, it should bring us something. Jaehyun gets more attention seeking when his rival Tae is in the vicinity.

TBH THE KALEIDOSCOPE THEORY IS THE BEST ONE

[head-first-fearless11]

TS7 IS GOING TO BE TITLED "EXPRESS YOURSELF"

Or "Expression" or "Self" or something like that... But its gonna have one or both of those words!! Mark my words!! lololol

In the Behind The Scenes footage of @taylorswift 's Me! Music Video there's a moment where you see this book sitting on the Table. It's hard to read but zoomed up it says "Basquiat". I Googled that word and found that Basquiat isn't a word but a name; the name of a deceased African-American artist. Jean-Michel Basquiat. He was an expressionist in the 80s who did a lot of self-portraits. And one of his portraits is on the book (and its ironically titled Portrait 1).

I think it's pretty clear that TS7 is going to be about Taylor and finding herself...her true self. I think this little book is a BIG clue. Because Taylor doesn't put things in her videos willy-nilly.

Her Lyric Music Video sums herself up in 3 sentences. Her name is Taylor. She was born in 1989. And she likes cats. She also DRAWS in this video. The regular music video involves paint at the end which is a medium Basquiat used.

The mural of the butterfly wings shows who she is as well. She's a #CrazyCatLady (no shame!), she loves flowers and romance and beautiful rainbows.

These are all images she uses to EXPRESS herSELF.

Lover by Taylor Swift - alternative concept poster for the Lover album

[seventeengoingunder-archive]

I have all these visuals. For Reputation, it was nighttime cityscape. I didn’t really want any — or very minimal — traditional acoustic instruments. I imagined old warehouse buildings that had been deserted and factory spaces and all this industrial kind of imagery. So I wanted the production to have nothing wooden. There’s no wood floors on that album.

Lover is, like, completely just a barn wood floor and some ripped curtains flowing in the breeze, and fields of flowers and, you know, velvet.

Paper Rings Appreciation Post

“Kiss me once 'cause you know I had a long night/ (Oh!) Kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be alright /Three times 'cause I've waited my whole life /(One, two, one two three four!)”

Such a fun song. I’d use it in a tv show or movie soundtrack for a couple who eloped and are trying to make it on their own because their families do not approve of the marriage. So they are living in this tiny apartment and trying to make ends meet. And though it’s hard they are just happy to be together. So even after little squabbles over bills and finances before bed they stay true to their one vow to never go to bed angry. And they play this song.

I’m picturing something set in like 1970s Chicago or Detroit maybe even New York. Just a large metropolitan city setting during an era when there was still a strong sense of community.

Imagine a world where musicians are asked about their music more than their personal lives.

iridescence: when light hits the different layers of the butterfly wing, it is reflected numerous times, and the combination of all these reflections causes the very intense colors that you see... your view would change as the butterfly moves its wings and the light enters at different angles. their wings amplify the effects of iridescence because they have many more layers for the light to pass through and thus many more opportunities for the light waves to reflect and magnify one another.
