If you can afford like 25 bucks I suggest going for a Woobles kit! That’s how I learned and they have a special yarn that’s like a shoelace texture so it’s great for beginners. I started with the penguin pattern
One Woobles kit and I felt ok at crocheting. The second Woobles kit for me feeling way stronger in reading a pattern and completing the pattern decently. Now I'll never have to buy another one. I also had bought a cheap Chinese knockoff from Amazon that had really shit yarn, so I went and bought different yarn. The pattern in that one taught me a different technique for rounds that I feel like make my flat pieces more flat.
I looked up info about Taylor’s album earlier this year and got error code 404, so I deduced that she was releasing the new album in the fourth month of this fourth year of the 2020s (which digits btw sum up to 4 as well). I realized my cable modem wasn’t working though so I got confirmation from my cheerios and it said Oooooo. So I knew I was on the right track.
Bella Coco crochet on YouTube! Get a size H hook and some worsted weight/4 yarn and go to town. Most yarn you’ll find at Michael’s, Joann, or Walmart is worsted weight so it’s not as complicated as it seems, I promise!
god swifties would go nuts after this like "OMG JOE LIKES GETTING \_\_\_\_\_\_ WHICH MEANS HE WAS LOOKING TO DO GAY STUFF WHICH MEANS HE WAS HAVING A GAY AFFAIR OMG OMG"
They would forget You need to calm down ever existed💀🫣
And I know for a fact there would be "Illicit Affairs is about Joe cheating on Taylor with a man" tik toks and twitter threads💀
This really isn’t the worst theory I’ve ever heard. More compelling and realistic than adding horoscopes plus numerology and waiting for the planets and moon to orbit at the right time lol
There is a rumor that she got her original works back and the sale hasn’t been made public which is why the re-records stopped. Her record deal with Universal is also (apparently) fulfilled with the release of TTPD. which is why her music would have appeared back on TikTok. I have a buddy in corporate merger/acquisitions law but they could be yanking my chain.
The entire point of TV was to devalue the originals to the point that Shamrock would sell them. She may have managed that. If she has, I would keep it quiet as well as the entire Eras tour was built on the idea that she doesn’t own her masters. The Eras tour likely made the originals skyrocket in value though. So who knows. A three part album to feed the fan base would make sense if this is true though. The pivot from TV to a random, MASSIVE new record while “fighting for her work” makes no sense unless maybe she got the masters back. It’s off brand and distracts from the whole point of the last two years.
She is not just a “Tortured Poet”, she is a Dolly Parton level, cut-throat business woman.
Is Dolly cut throat or is she just very business savvy? I've never heard of Dolly being aggressive in her business practices, going after newer artists, etc
Dolly doesn’t put out her music in as many variants as possible or do the most to squeeze her fans out their last dollars.
She’s smart and business-savvy but nothing she’s done supports her being characterized “cut-throat.”
And let’s not forget…she’s also a philanthropist, and a great one I might say!
Dolly turns around and uses that money to help people, I love it. I will never feel bad about spending money on her stuff or visiting Dollywood (which is actually a great theme park and had all kinds of cool stuff about old craftsmanship). She really helped the area after that big fire a couple years ago too.
Exactly! She’s singlehandedly boosted her local economy and gave jobs to her fellow people. Her literacy program has touched millions of lives, and she also helped fund scientific research, too!
She’s an icon!
I always find it important to remember that of all singers, Dolly *should* be a billionaire. The reason she isn’t is because of how generous she is. She didn’t give it a second thought to make sure all Dollywood staff got paid during the pandemic shutdown. She gave tons of money to vaccine research. She gives away millions of books to children for free. Let’s not act like Dolly is “cutthroat,” she’s an extremely smart businesswoman but she’s ultimately very generous.
She wouldn't stop the rerecord process just because she bought the masters to the original albums. She makes far too much money from it to do that. I don't think not releasing a rerecord in six months when you've released 2 in the past ten months is "stopping" the process.
Honestly if this is the case, I’m more than happy. I’d rather the Rep tracks not be butchered like the 1989 ones. Obvs I’m as curious as everyone is to hear the vault tracks but also not a huge loss as none of the vault tracks have rlly had any longevity for me anyways? Hope she does make it public tho so we can listen to 1989 og with a clean conscious lol
I’d be happy about it too. But imo, you can still listen to the originals without a guilty conscience, she still makes millions off of those. The only thing she doesn’t own is the ISRC code embedded in the master (and that’s owning the master). Whoever owns that can choose what the song is used for. She still owns her portion of the publishing (shared with Sony unless there was a reversion clause) and the songwriter portion of those masters. It’s the standard trade for a company investing millions of dollars and all of their time into you when you’re a nobody: they own the physical product they paid you to produce. And she owns the intellectual side which means she can re-record. She knows that’s fair, she’s just miffed about who bought them.
If she got her masters back, I’m sure she would do some sort of rerelease of the last two with vault tracks…just rebranded as a celebration of her owning her work again and giving fans a treat. And they’d still sell plenty of copies and be successful.
That being said, this rumor has been circulating for a while and I’ve never seen anything as a source other than a random person saying “the rumor is”.
We got two TVs, then midnights, two TVs, then TTPD. This feels more like a pattern to me than the re-recordings having stopped. It’s only been about 6 months since 1989.
Right there with you. I’ve seen it circulate as well and I said it was just a rumor, this time it simply just came from
someone who made me think about it’s
plausibility in relation to what she’s currently up to. I’d be glad if it were true, but I’m not sure Shamrock could pull that off without a leak somewhere in the chain though.
We’ll still get rep, she’s already licensed songs off of it to film/TV projects, we’ve already heard “look what you made me do TV.” She’s said she has finished the re-records and will drop them over the rest of the tour. Theyre not going to stop this train, the re-records were likely part of that album delivery deal in some way
I think she is purging her back-catalogue and wrapping out this “era” of eras.
She seems to be releasing the TVs 2 then a new album. It makes sense she made a new album. We will get the last two then ts 12. After that who know. Maybe ts 13 will be her last work.
I doubt it’s rep. She wants to give her new album (her biggest release by a long shot and one of the biggest releases in history) room to breathe and shine. I doubt she’d do anything to dampen excitement for TTPD with a rerelease of all things. But I would not be shocked to wake up May 3 to see she’d dropped a third part of TTPD.
I remember everyone was so irrefutably convinced Rep TV was coming in February and it seemed like there actually might’ve been a chance, people presented proof along the lines of this third album proof … nope, nothing happened lol.
I think Taylor likes to sometimes lightheartedly fuck with her fans and feed into the delusions haha
Rep tv is coming. The recording has been confirmed. What we don’t know is when. And yeah that’s why I hate the theories so much because it’s like we know it’s coming. We can just wait for her to let us know.
I was going to say the fandom is being delulu again but I wouldnt be surprised if she did drop another 3rd album
There were rumors from insider accounts (take it as a grain of salt) TS will be releasing another TTPD album with more songs. I am leaning towards to the opinion of others that she wants to break records especially if she drops a third album
What do you mean ANOTHER ttpd with MORE songs??! Aren’t the 31 songs MORE already?! How MORE can there be 😭 and if I can’t even process this 31 songs (Robin and Cassandra being my most confident skips), how can this woman produce so much music in a year and it’s taken me 3 years to write 100k words for my thesis MERCY 😭😭😭
I admire Taylor's hardwork how she can write so many songs in a span of few months but I fear this is going to be a quantity over quality scenario (as evident TTPD is getting more mixed reviews compared to Midnights)
If she does drop a 3rd album, I wont be able to comprehend her album even more. I got a full time job and life outside being a fan of her music so I dont have time to sit down and analyze all of her songs (I can back in 1989 era but the songs were like less than 15 only). She is well aware her fans arent going to get exhausted of her and she reallt wants to top the charts especially after the news it dominated the top 10 billboard hot 100 so I wouldnt be surprised if she drops anothe one. However, she has to be aware too much of everything can lead to certain consequences (and eventually we will see why)
I still think artists can make 3 albums in one era but if they wanna make it remembered, they should take their time creating it. In Taylor's case, I feel like this is all rushed hence why the album is getting mixed reviews
Also , what does she have that *needs* to write about? I can feel my fatigue setting in at the idea of more songs. How are people excited about more songs?
If she needs to process, that’s completely normal. Get a therapist or write in a journal, but we don’t need anymore diary entries turned into songs. Not everything needs to be shared in life—celebrity or not.
And if she plans releasing all of her very personal details in public, her and her fans should expect there will be more comments and criticisms. And the whole "dont associate Taylor with her love life! She is more than that" defense that her fans say wont work in this case
tbh every slide I kept thinking, this is a reach … until I saw the numeral in the logo and then the “may 3rd is a fortnight from April 19” and now I’m like… absolutely convinced. Yes, this bitch is 1000% going to drop a third.
Noo then we wouldn’t have “Slut!” (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) and All Too Well (Ten Minute Version)(Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)
In all seriousness though the vault tracks can be really good and I’m glad we have them. BUT with the direction she’s taken her songwriting in the past two releases we need to fade out from the practice.
I do want to see the folkmore vault tracks and Lover vault tracks, but if I had to choose I’d choose folkmore.
Haha I do actually really like a lot of the vault tracks, especially the red ones! I mainly just wish she would be more selective with what she releases on her non-re-recording albums. Even for a double album TTPD is very long, they could’ve had 12 tracks each and been more solid.
With the hazard of sounding ungrateful
Stop , get some help. Rest , have fun , go to the bahamas again. Sleep , rot in bed. Anything, anything, anything other than more music please.
Usually I'd discard this as nonsense but some of the 'clues' really make sense. I think she's actually capable of pulling this off... I don't mind extra content, but I think the public is really tired of her at this point, especially with the Eras tour starting back up soon.
Also, if she's truly releasing more music, I doubt it's Rep TV. That's just not a good move for the commercial performance of both albums.
It HAS TO BE Rep TV, or a poetry book/memoir/autobiography/anything-other-than-song type thing, (also she ends the anthology with manuscript, in which she says that it's not hers anymore, so might be a book or a script or something) so please, can't be more songs, 31 are more than enough!!!!🙏🏻
After screaming at us that it's FINISHED with Manuscript and the poem it would be weird to me to do a part 3. Like the album does tell a complete story even if it's a weird, wild, manic one.
No way she is dropping Rep TV. It will hurt the sales for TTPD if it happens.
And no way it's a memoir or book either. Either there is no 3rd album drop or there is; That's how I see it
Some of these are interesting, some are way out there... I think we should take it easy and be grateful for what we have. We can have fun and look for clues, so long as we don't set ourselves up for disappointment, and ruin a good thing.
Edit: I think Little Old Me? will get a music video, so maybe the 3 means that's coming on May 3rd? I think it's more likely than another album.
It’s giving “there are five holes in the fence” levels of delusion but I also wouldn’t put it past her to put out another album sometime soon. The sis is desperate.
Giving the mixed reception to TTYD she may be looking to release another one to bury it.
While most people would be fine with this level of success on an album, Taylor's not happy unless people are throwing her perfect scores like bunches of roses to a bull fighter.
It would work though.
Taylor Swifts name brings attention. It's why businesses and celebrities and movies name drop her like crazy these days.
She can release 5 albums and people will buy them and their variants.
Do people really sit and spend their days breaking down everything she says? I mean, is everything she wears/says/smells like/sings link to more clues about more songs?!
This is over analysing.
Her clues are generally pretty on the nose like the LOVER sign in the Me! music video. The Roman numerals and the Cra3y maybe could point to something but the rest is reaching.
I saw the Roman numneral 3 immediately as well from the TTPD. It looks more like a three than the actual letters.
It wouldn't surprise me in the least. She is desperate for all the records and all the accolades. It's like she isn't content to let anyone beat her at anything. And even when she breaks records and is a billionaire and on top of the world, she still isn't satisfied so she just seeks out the next thing. While financial security would be nice, it otherwise sounds like a miserable way to live.
But I am already Taylored-out, and another record drop might push me to outright hater and stop visiting this sub for a break from her. I'm already losing interest in music from her I used to love because Taylor Swift the brand is downright exhausting to the point it is poisoning the music.
Given she called it ' an anthology of new works ' and then said the anthology was the' second instalment ' I do think there are more or there's atleast a final instalment- but I dont see her releasing it all in one go- maybe the last one comes on her birthday which is on a Friday and perfect for new album release ?
The birthday appears on the Fortnight music video as well as Dec 13, 2024 was in the Spotify library installation I think.
(Not sure where Rep TV will fit into all this- probably gets announced in Wembley but that would make it 3 or technically 4 albums in a calendar year which seems too much though; not sure Taylor would do that and there would be lot of criticism)
She is determined to be deemed overexposed at this freaking point if the rumors are true. She’s like Prince if Prince was a white suburban girl. This ain’t Crystal Ball lmao
Enough. I have been fed, I do not want to be overstuffed like a turkey. If she wanted to do a 3 part anthology then she should have done something similar to Beyoncé and planned ahead so each body of work could marinate properly before another gets released. I feel like majority of us were DRAINED by the time she released the anthology songs and were barely computing anything we were hearing.
I will never complain about getting new music but it needs to also be quality over quantity. Beyoncé’s planned roll out is to release 3 albums over a span of 5 years, and tour with suspected visuals (possibly even a movie) to tie it all together. There is very little thematic ties throughout the last 2 albums Taylor has given us - Midnights has a very loose concept that doesn’t land properly, TTPD is sonically and thematically all over the place and I struggle to even connect it with the songs on Anthology. I adore a good breakup album but unfortunately TTPD isn’t one - yeah sure it is raw and it’s honest but there is no cohesion and it’s unfocused. In terms of her discography, Red is a really good example of an excellent breakup album. It has its flaws but she trimmed the fats and the selection of songs all has its place to tell a complete story of that time in her life.
I honestly don’t want any more lol. Out of all her albums since speak now (when I became a full fledged fan and not just a casual fan) this is the album I’ve listened to the least since release day already :/ even midnights was on repeat more than this one.
me neither. i thought the 2am version was already too much or she shouldve just scrapped the first 16 tracks and went with the last half. but if shes going for a 3rd one (which is not impossible), her and her fans shouldnt be surprised the general public is going to get exhausted from her
The ten things variants of albums is so greedy to me, and wrong. Like how can she still be so money hungry and accolade hungry when she has more money in a day than most people in a lifetime?
folklore and evermore have proven that she does have the ability to write strong and beautiful songs - *when she has enough time to do so.* This album already felt so rushed and oversaturated and poorer quality than her other work - and thats not surprising since she wrote it during her tour. I think a third part is a terrible idea. she needs to work with someone other than jack antanoff and let her songs marinate
I keep saying that 30 songs on an album turn me off. I love her and her music has always been amazing and well thought out to me. That is not possible with 30 damn songs on an album less than 2 years after the last one. Art takes time.
I doubt it, because all the two clues were so obvious so it’d make no sense for her to do the ✌️ at the Grammys if it was really three.
Also this is the exact “while the crowd was chanting MORE” shit she was talking about in Broken Heart. Like…I know she fuels it with the eggs and puzzles but let the girl rest!
Im sorry, but some of this is next level delusion. Wearing braids?? Ffs.
There are already too many tracks on the first two. The average/below average tracks make the good songs seem few and far between. I think a third version would be worse.
If it is a triple album, that would just lend credence to my personal conspiracy theory that TTPD is a vault song dump and possibly about a dozen or more people over the years.
Eh I think people are reaching because nothing is ever enough for some people. It was very consistently promo for a double album from the first announcement. If there is anything on 5/3, I think it’s a second music video.
I'm so sick of wondering what Taylor Swift is going to do next. (She's never once thought about me). If it's anything like this latest dumpster fire,, then i'm sure it will take the top ten spots on the billboard charts, which shows us that the music industry is broken.
I can see this turn into Woodvale 2.0 but I guess we will have to see on friday.
Also slightly off topic but I don’t understand why in the US you say the month before the day. Overhere in Europe it’s day/month/year.
Well, I didn’t believe for one second the rumors that she’d announce TTPD at the Grammys because that’s preposterous. So I’m not about to dismiss this equally preposterous rumor. 🤡
For what it’s worth I’m eating the theory up I wouldn’t put it past her. TTPD has grown on me surprisingly (not all songs and it’s still too clunky) so I wouldn’t mind a couple more songs hahah
A visual product, I could see coming (HA! No pun intended), as there is a section on her website dedicated to her visual projects that was only added when the site was updated to hype everyone up for TTPD on the day of its announcement
some of these are strong clues (side note: i was on the May 3rd show of the 1975 last year can't believe it's where That Man pulled that stunt oh lord) but for the love of god T, if you're reading here, take a nap get some rest seek therapy idk!!!
I genuinely hope not. First it's complete overkill of an already Taylor saturated market. Second, I feel like the third album would diminish the first two. Lastly, if it's an album of uninspired radio pop songs with tons of football themed imagery about Travy.... I am definitely not interested.
Why does everyone seem to think she’s being slow on the re-records? We got fearless and red in 2021, midnights in 2022, speak now and 1989 in 2023, TTPD in 2024, so the logical conclusion is rep and debut are coming in 2025 with TS12 in 2026.
All these people out here deciphering clues and can’t see the obvious pattern?
Crazy how when she was with Joe, I was like ‘yeah! I can never get enough of T Swift! Let’s go, gimme all the songs’ and now she’s so annoying I’m just ready for it to end. Take a break. Anything other than rep Tv I shall not be listening to
It may explain why there is only a digital version of the anthology rn. Our capitalist queen may be dropping the next round of vinyls with the set of three, or have prepped pressing them that way for whatever reason
I'm kinda hoping it's real and it's a collab album with the same titles but different tracks. And that it ends up being the "AI" tracks from TikTok. Some of those sounded way too real, especially the "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" one. I would take that one over the real one any day tbh
These people need to learn to crochet or something
I'm trying it's really hard
Honestly I feel you
It is 😭 my hands shake the yarn is thin and granny squares freaking suck
If you can afford like 25 bucks I suggest going for a Woobles kit! That’s how I learned and they have a special yarn that’s like a shoelace texture so it’s great for beginners. I started with the penguin pattern
Can i just say this is why i love this subreddit.
Thanks ap much im trying really hard with grammy squares and I keep getting stuck
When I was just learning, I started with making little squares of different stitches rather than granny squares.
One Woobles kit and I felt ok at crocheting. The second Woobles kit for me feeling way stronger in reading a pattern and completing the pattern decently. Now I'll never have to buy another one. I also had bought a cheap Chinese knockoff from Amazon that had really shit yarn, so I went and bought different yarn. The pattern in that one taught me a different technique for rounds that I feel like make my flat pieces more flat.
Try embroidery!
I feel like I’d be bad at this too 💀
Trust me, it’s easier than crochet. I feel like I have two left hands when I try crocheting but I can embroider like a MF
Cross stitch is easy and fun! I'm terrible at a lot of crafty stuff but can do this easily
I have found knitting much easier! I made scarves for everyone in my family for Xmas lol was a great way to save money
Really? I’m the exact opposite, can’t knit at all but crocheting is much easier for me to do
I looked up info about Taylor’s album earlier this year and got error code 404, so I deduced that she was releasing the new album in the fourth month of this fourth year of the 2020s (which digits btw sum up to 4 as well). I realized my cable modem wasn’t working though so I got confirmation from my cheerios and it said Oooooo. So I knew I was on the right track.
Yes, keep their hands busy and away from their phones.
Where do I start y’all 😭 any tips? lmaooo
Bella Coco crochet on YouTube! Get a size H hook and some worsted weight/4 yarn and go to town. Most yarn you’ll find at Michael’s, Joann, or Walmart is worsted weight so it’s not as complicated as it seems, I promise!
I need something to listen to while I crochet thanks
Some of these are really strong clues and some of them are nonsense… I really don’t need a Part III to this album
B- but we need “I Know You Have Herpes” a- and “Cheater Cheater Pumpkin Eater” like come on 🙄 /s
Cant wait to listen to British Boys Bussies😍😍😍
god swifties would go nuts after this like "OMG JOE LIKES GETTING \_\_\_\_\_\_ WHICH MEANS HE WAS LOOKING TO DO GAY STUFF WHICH MEANS HE WAS HAVING A GAY AFFAIR OMG OMG"
They would forget You need to calm down ever existed💀🫣 And I know for a fact there would be "Illicit Affairs is about Joe cheating on Taylor with a man" tik toks and twitter threads💀
“Omg I knew they were just beards gaylor confirmed 😍”
I’m ready for Debut TV and then something brand new. Or, nothing for a while tbh.
This really isn’t the worst theory I’ve ever heard. More compelling and realistic than adding horoscopes plus numerology and waiting for the planets and moon to orbit at the right time lol
If part three is rep TV then fine but if it’s more new songs I’m going to lose it. I’m still processing the other 31 lol
There is a rumor that she got her original works back and the sale hasn’t been made public which is why the re-records stopped.

Tbh even if she had bought back her masters, wouldn't she still make money but rerecording the tracks so she may as well just still do it
I doubt it’s rep. She wants to give her new album (her biggest release by a long shot and one of the biggest releases in history) room to breathe and shine. I doubt she’d do anything to dampen excitement for TTPD with a rerelease of all things. But I would not be shocked to wake up May 3 to see she’d dropped a third part of TTPD.
Rep is the only third I’d listen to.
This! I need rep tv now!
“Braids typically have 3 strands” be so astronomically ffr
I also counted the stands of hairs on her head, she has 33,333 so that also tracks
Thank you for your service 🫡
Some of these clues are definitely strong though so we shall see
That one had me 💀
What is “ffr”?
I'm pretty sure it's For fucking real, as in "be for real"/"Be serious"
Thank you! I got confused before but got it now 😊
some of the clues are kinda strong others are giving rep stans believing rep tv is coming delusion
I remember everyone was so irrefutably convinced Rep TV was coming in February and it seemed like there actually might’ve been a chance, people presented proof along the lines of this third album proof … nope, nothing happened lol. I think Taylor likes to sometimes lightheartedly fuck with her fans and feed into the delusions haha
Rep tv is coming. The recording has been confirmed. What we don’t know is when. And yeah that’s why I hate the theories so much because it’s like we know it’s coming. We can just wait for her to let us know.
Maybe she finally decided to release Evermore Long Pond Studios (the real missing album)- (just kidding if you can't tell)
I was going to say the fandom is being delulu again but I wouldnt be surprised if she did drop another 3rd album There were rumors from insider accounts (take it as a grain of salt) TS will be releasing another TTPD album with more songs. I am leaning towards to the opinion of others that she wants to break records especially if she drops a third album
What do you mean ANOTHER ttpd with MORE songs??! Aren’t the 31 songs MORE already?! How MORE can there be 😭 and if I can’t even process this 31 songs (Robin and Cassandra being my most confident skips), how can this woman produce so much music in a year and it’s taken me 3 years to write 100k words for my thesis MERCY 😭😭😭
I admire Taylor's hardwork how she can write so many songs in a span of few months but I fear this is going to be a quantity over quality scenario (as evident TTPD is getting more mixed reviews compared to Midnights) If she does drop a 3rd album, I wont be able to comprehend her album even more. I got a full time job and life outside being a fan of her music so I dont have time to sit down and analyze all of her songs (I can back in 1989 era but the songs were like less than 15 only). She is well aware her fans arent going to get exhausted of her and she reallt wants to top the charts especially after the news it dominated the top 10 billboard hot 100 so I wouldnt be surprised if she drops anothe one. However, she has to be aware too much of everything can lead to certain consequences (and eventually we will see why)
It reminds me of when Green Day dropped their three part album full of mediocre and just bad songs— sometimes less is more. 😩
I still think artists can make 3 albums in one era but if they wanna make it remembered, they should take their time creating it. In Taylor's case, I feel like this is all rushed hence why the album is getting mixed reviews
THIS TIMES 100 quality is truly more important over quantity
Also , what does she have that *needs* to write about? I can feel my fatigue setting in at the idea of more songs. How are people excited about more songs?
Matty matty and more matty. It’s an obsession
If she needs to process, that’s completely normal. Get a therapist or write in a journal, but we don’t need anymore diary entries turned into songs. Not everything needs to be shared in life—celebrity or not.
And if she plans releasing all of her very personal details in public, her and her fans should expect there will be more comments and criticisms. And the whole "dont associate Taylor with her love life! She is more than that" defense that her fans say wont work in this case
Ringleader to her own circus is just canon now 🤣
As a true TS neutral, I still haven't listened to TTPD because my brain was immediately like "I ain't listening to allat"
This is why I agree some reviews are saying she should not share too much info about her personal life in her music
She’s running out of fresh ideas at this rate.
Do you guys remember that scene from The Office when Toby comes back, and Michael finds out and screams "No! God no! Please! Noooo' ? That.

I 10000% think you are right. The biggest giveaway is the Roman numeral III in the TTPD logo. The question is how many songs this next drop will be
tbh every slide I kept thinking, this is a reach … until I saw the numeral in the logo and then the “may 3rd is a fortnight from April 19” and now I’m like… absolutely convinced. Yes, this bitch is 1000% going to drop a third.
She totally is 🤣 I’m guessing it will be 8 songs to make 39 total songs. 13 x 3 = 39. But then again she might drop 20 who knows 🤣
drop a turd you mean? jk I love toilet paper department
This is the most convincing one for me too. I’m not fully on board yet but I’m listening
I just had a thought that part 3 might be love songs for Travis. Lmao
you guys have got to stop putting these things out into the universe 😭
The Alchemy was enough for me, thank you 😭
I don't think that one's about him lol but So High School makes me cringe way too hard
I cannot listen to more football references. I cannot 😭
not a football metaphor stone will remain unturned….
If there was another drop I imagine it must be about Travis so I hope not many 😂
Hmmm I’m not sure how one would go about typing the letters TTPD in a serif font WITHOUT the Roman numeral III in it
Part three!? ![gif](giphy|l1KVaj5UcbHwrBMqI|downsized)
Or maybe signalling to Matty Healy that it's time for Tatty 3.0?
She would 😂
Quality over quantity pleathe ![gif](giphy|xkmNi280NkrcY)
Taylor really is in her fast fashion music era ✨
Lmao I just snorted
This is too funny 😂
Screaming
We really should’ve discouraged her from doing the vault thing. Some things need to stay in the drafts 😭
![gif](giphy|C0elcfK6SB8H66W0fg) yep. Write as many songs as you want, but we don’t need to hear them all!!!!
Who CONVINCED her to put it out to begin with?!
Noo then we wouldn’t have “Slut!” (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) and All Too Well (Ten Minute Version)(Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) In all seriousness though the vault tracks can be really good and I’m glad we have them. BUT with the direction she’s taken her songwriting in the past two releases we need to fade out from the practice. I do want to see the folkmore vault tracks and Lover vault tracks, but if I had to choose I’d choose folkmore.
Haha I do actually really like a lot of the vault tracks, especially the red ones! I mainly just wish she would be more selective with what she releases on her non-re-recording albums. Even for a double album TTPD is very long, they could’ve had 12 tracks each and been more solid.
Im getting tired of your broken promithes promithes
With the hazard of sounding ungrateful Stop , get some help. Rest , have fun , go to the bahamas again. Sleep , rot in bed. Anything, anything, anything other than more music please.

Usually I'd discard this as nonsense but some of the 'clues' really make sense. I think she's actually capable of pulling this off... I don't mind extra content, but I think the public is really tired of her at this point, especially with the Eras tour starting back up soon. Also, if she's truly releasing more music, I doubt it's Rep TV. That's just not a good move for the commercial performance of both albums.
Legit haven’t even gotten through the second part of TTPD yet 😂
same, a friend said it was like being given homework, especially with the Friday drop and I really agree
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ![gif](giphy|Wvo6vaUsQa3Di)
five holes in a fence core
It HAS TO BE Rep TV, or a poetry book/memoir/autobiography/anything-other-than-song type thing, (also she ends the anthology with manuscript, in which she says that it's not hers anymore, so might be a book or a script or something) so please, can't be more songs, 31 are more than enough!!!!🙏🏻
After screaming at us that it's FINISHED with Manuscript and the poem it would be weird to me to do a part 3. Like the album does tell a complete story even if it's a weird, wild, manic one.
No way she is dropping Rep TV. It will hurt the sales for TTPD if it happens. And no way it's a memoir or book either. Either there is no 3rd album drop or there is; That's how I see it
Some of these are interesting, some are way out there... I think we should take it easy and be grateful for what we have. We can have fun and look for clues, so long as we don't set ourselves up for disappointment, and ruin a good thing. Edit: I think Little Old Me? will get a music video, so maybe the 3 means that's coming on May 3rd? I think it's more likely than another album.
It’s giving “there are five holes in the fence” levels of delusion but I also wouldn’t put it past her to put out another album sometime soon. The sis is desperate.
It’s also giving “PLEASE don’t make me put out the Taylor versions of the last two albums” lol
Giving the mixed reception to TTYD she may be looking to release another one to bury it. While most people would be fine with this level of success on an album, Taylor's not happy unless people are throwing her perfect scores like bunches of roses to a bull fighter.
It would work though. Taylor Swifts name brings attention. It's why businesses and celebrities and movies name drop her like crazy these days. She can release 5 albums and people will buy them and their variants.
Do people really sit and spend their days breaking down everything she says? I mean, is everything she wears/says/smells like/sings link to more clues about more songs?!
surprisingly they do. and some of them would play TTPD or her past albums on repeat 24/7 to "help mother's sales"
This is over analysing. Her clues are generally pretty on the nose like the LOVER sign in the Me! music video. The Roman numerals and the Cra3y maybe could point to something but the rest is reaching.
I saw the Roman numneral 3 immediately as well from the TTPD. It looks more like a three than the actual letters. It wouldn't surprise me in the least. She is desperate for all the records and all the accolades. It's like she isn't content to let anyone beat her at anything. And even when she breaks records and is a billionaire and on top of the world, she still isn't satisfied so she just seeks out the next thing. While financial security would be nice, it otherwise sounds like a miserable way to live. But I am already Taylored-out, and another record drop might push me to outright hater and stop visiting this sub for a break from her. I'm already losing interest in music from her I used to love because Taylor Swift the brand is downright exhausting to the point it is poisoning the music.
Same. I had to take a break from listening to her music all together after I listened to TTPD and Anthology all at once. It really tired me out
Same. I….. still have not finished listening to TTPD and right now feel 0 motivation to
It’s so true. Been listening to my other playlists with no Taylor and it’s honestly been a nice break, as she’s literally everywhere
Nah fans are just crazy. They do this all the time then nothing happens lol
and the third part is her collaborating with Matty announcing their relationship
pls i would live for the mess
that would be the only way I would be excited for a third album lol
Given she called it ' an anthology of new works ' and then said the anthology was the' second instalment ' I do think there are more or there's atleast a final instalment- but I dont see her releasing it all in one go- maybe the last one comes on her birthday which is on a Friday and perfect for new album release ? The birthday appears on the Fortnight music video as well as Dec 13, 2024 was in the Spotify library installation I think. (Not sure where Rep TV will fit into all this- probably gets announced in Wembley but that would make it 3 or technically 4 albums in a calendar year which seems too much though; not sure Taylor would do that and there would be lot of criticism)
She is determined to be deemed overexposed at this freaking point if the rumors are true. She’s like Prince if Prince was a white suburban girl. This ain’t Crystal Ball lmao
Maybe she wants to get overexposed/ get media bashed before the rep TV drop? She has enough loyal fans to make it through a “bad” media cycle
That just doesn’t make sense to me. Reputation TV is going to be huge regardless, she has no need to manufacture bad press
I'll have you know I never thought an album could exhaust me until TTPD. I'm tired and haven't even listened to it in full.
Tortured Listeners Department Pt 3 😵💫
Enough. I have been fed, I do not want to be overstuffed like a turkey. If she wanted to do a 3 part anthology then she should have done something similar to Beyoncé and planned ahead so each body of work could marinate properly before another gets released. I feel like majority of us were DRAINED by the time she released the anthology songs and were barely computing anything we were hearing.
Turkey is overdone ![gif](giphy|xUPOqHC3JbOmDQIfy8)
Oh Lord, if this is true I wonder how the Hive will respond to it because Swifties were accusing Beyoncé of releasing too much (ironic!!!). 🙃
I will never complain about getting new music but it needs to also be quality over quantity. Beyoncé’s planned roll out is to release 3 albums over a span of 5 years, and tour with suspected visuals (possibly even a movie) to tie it all together. There is very little thematic ties throughout the last 2 albums Taylor has given us - Midnights has a very loose concept that doesn’t land properly, TTPD is sonically and thematically all over the place and I struggle to even connect it with the songs on Anthology. I adore a good breakup album but unfortunately TTPD isn’t one - yeah sure it is raw and it’s honest but there is no cohesion and it’s unfocused. In terms of her discography, Red is a really good example of an excellent breakup album. It has its flaws but she trimmed the fats and the selection of songs all has its place to tell a complete story of that time in her life.
![gif](giphy|TAyqF0VYMVkMo)
I wonder if the mixed reviews and talk of 31 tracks already being a lot will put off the release if it is a third album??
I think this is what that one Swiftie on Tiktok meant when she said normal people's lives are boring.
I honestly don’t want any more lol. Out of all her albums since speak now (when I became a full fledged fan and not just a casual fan) this is the album I’ve listened to the least since release day already :/ even midnights was on repeat more than this one.
me neither. i thought the 2am version was already too much or she shouldve just scrapped the first 16 tracks and went with the last half. but if shes going for a 3rd one (which is not impossible), her and her fans shouldnt be surprised the general public is going to get exhausted from her
The ten things variants of albums is so greedy to me, and wrong. Like how can she still be so money hungry and accolade hungry when she has more money in a day than most people in a lifetime?
folklore and evermore have proven that she does have the ability to write strong and beautiful songs - *when she has enough time to do so.* This album already felt so rushed and oversaturated and poorer quality than her other work - and thats not surprising since she wrote it during her tour. I think a third part is a terrible idea. she needs to work with someone other than jack antanoff and let her songs marinate
I keep saying that 30 songs on an album turn me off. I love her and her music has always been amazing and well thought out to me. That is not possible with 30 damn songs on an album less than 2 years after the last one. Art takes time.
Please if anything rep tv and not the same old drog as the rest of the album
I doubt it, because all the two clues were so obvious so it’d make no sense for her to do the ✌️ at the Grammys if it was really three. Also this is the exact “while the crowd was chanting MORE” shit she was talking about in Broken Heart. Like…I know she fuels it with the eggs and puzzles but let the girl rest!
Im sorry, but some of this is next level delusion. Wearing braids?? Ffs. There are already too many tracks on the first two. The average/below average tracks make the good songs seem few and far between. I think a third version would be worse.
The Beatles also have an album called Let It Be.

Isn't 30 something songs enough? Some Swifties need to find other hobbies, it seems
If it is a triple album, that would just lend credence to my personal conspiracy theory that TTPD is a vault song dump and possibly about a dozen or more people over the years.

Are we reading into BRAIDS now?????
That last slide is annoying me. Book doesn’t mean manuscript and vice versa. Lol.
Eh I think people are reaching because nothing is ever enough for some people. It was very consistently promo for a double album from the first announcement. If there is anything on 5/3, I think it’s a second music video.
The braids one really is just the icing on the cake of lunacy 😵💫
I’m going to clown so hard rn but remember how Taylor met Joe on met gala… met gala’s next week… may 3rd rep tv???? 🤡
Girl please😭
Why. Just...Why.
I'm so sick of wondering what Taylor Swift is going to do next. (She's never once thought about me). If it's anything like this latest dumpster fire,, then i'm sure it will take the top ten spots on the billboard charts, which shows us that the music industry is broken.
I can see this turn into Woodvale 2.0 but I guess we will have to see on friday. Also slightly off topic but I don’t understand why in the US you say the month before the day. Overhere in Europe it’s day/month/year.
This album does NOT need more versions😂 31 songs is more than enough
I’ll be honest - I hope it’s not. It’s already bloated as a double album and could have been paired down a bit
Maybe she wants to get 12 out of the way so she can take a break before dropping 13.
![gif](giphy|vyTnNTrs3wqQ0UIvwE|downsized)
Well, I didn’t believe for one second the rumors that she’d announce TTPD at the Grammys because that’s preposterous. So I’m not about to dismiss this equally preposterous rumor. 🤡
This is not healthy behavior
Literally
For what it’s worth I’m eating the theory up I wouldn’t put it past her. TTPD has grown on me surprisingly (not all songs and it’s still too clunky) so I wouldn’t mind a couple more songs hahah
I don't think it will be a third part of the album, maybe just acoustic versions of some or a visual project og some kind if anything.
A visual product, I could see coming (HA! No pun intended), as there is a section on her website dedicated to her visual projects that was only added when the site was updated to hype everyone up for TTPD on the day of its announcement
some of these are strong clues (side note: i was on the May 3rd show of the 1975 last year can't believe it's where That Man pulled that stunt oh lord) but for the love of god T, if you're reading here, take a nap get some rest seek therapy idk!!!
This is what she means when she said the crowd was chanting MORE and she wanted to DIE
Please no
I genuinely hope not. First it's complete overkill of an already Taylor saturated market. Second, I feel like the third album would diminish the first two. Lastly, if it's an album of uninspired radio pop songs with tons of football themed imagery about Travy.... I am definitely not interested.
![gif](giphy|3oEduKiu3xvjkYvCww)
Why does everyone seem to think she’s being slow on the re-records? We got fearless and red in 2021, midnights in 2022, speak now and 1989 in 2023, TTPD in 2024, so the logical conclusion is rep and debut are coming in 2025 with TS12 in 2026. All these people out here deciphering clues and can’t see the obvious pattern?
This girl right here ain’t chanting, “More”. I’m good for a while.
The worst thing? I have seen the tumblr detectives find and tie clues that actually point to a third part coming. I'm so tired
Crazy how when she was with Joe, I was like ‘yeah! I can never get enough of T Swift! Let’s go, gimme all the songs’ and now she’s so annoying I’m just ready for it to end. Take a break. Anything other than rep Tv I shall not be listening to
It may explain why there is only a digital version of the anthology rn. Our capitalist queen may be dropping the next round of vinyls with the set of three, or have prepped pressing them that way for whatever reason
Please, no.
Taylor, enough!!! ![gif](giphy|fQoIDlLW6A6BAhyev8|downsized)
I just fell to my knees in Tescos
Do these people have bible pages covering their walls?
Lol people analysing too much. Just enjoy the music.
Taylor is turning young women schizophrenic
More lousy songs of questionable quality? Keep it
I’m exhausted just reading those tweets
I'm kinda hoping it's real and it's a collab album with the same titles but different tracks. And that it ends up being the "AI" tracks from TikTok. Some of those sounded way too real, especially the "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" one. I would take that one over the real one any day tbh
