How's everyone doing? Personally, I'm sorry, this Era came out at a weird time for me. As for the highs I've been traveling a lot, but for the lows I've had one of the worst few weeks of my careers, so I've been bouncing back and forth, and haven't posted a lot for this Era.

How's everyone liking the new album? As a whole it seems to be a hit, off the charts, quite literally. Personally Down Bad is my favorite, I've listened to it way too much! Still getting "used" to the new album, finding my favorite, building out my playlists. Curious to hear other people.

Oh, and while I have you, what prompted this is that all of the collectors editions are back at store.taylorswift.com.

Welcome back! I was wondering why the community has been so quiet with all that's been going on.

Obviously, my wife is head over heels for the album. She listens to it on loop constantly. Especially Who's Afraid of Little Old Me and is obsessed with the witch metaphor

For me, I think it's actually astounding how good the songs are. On first listen I was unimpressed but upon re-listen I find them to be absolutely some of her best work. I love the songs that have unexpected messages that you wouldn't normally find in a song, like But Daddy I Love Him and I Can Do it With a Broken Heart. I also love the creativity of songs like I'm Gonna Get You Back.

My only gripe is her sudden obsession with Florida! I'm still trying to process why it is in multiple songs!

Thanks! I'm always here, just quieter lately, hopefully will be more annoying to the non-swifties soon.

Glad she's loving the album! I like most of the songs, some kind of blend together, but I should probably just sit down and listen to them separately to learn them a bit more.

There's a theory that Florida is where Taylor was when the breakup happened, and then Houston came next in the tour and she talks about the first few days of being single again. So a lot of her processing was while she was down there.. not sure how I'd handle a breakup in Florida...

Welcome back! No apologies are necessary, shit happens. I hope your career has some highs in the near future, keeping my fingies 🤞🏼crossed 🤞🏼 for you~ :3

My opinion of the new album is unchanged since last time I mentioned it. TTPD (the title track) is the only one I put on regularly. I've not made a playlist with the new tracks, I'm not sure where they fit in my personal "eras" playlist just yet.

My physical copy of TTPD arrived from the US along with the Target edition of Lover this past Friday. My bestie sent some goodies along with it which means I finally have merch!!! I got a tapestry with all of the album covers, a bunch of water bottle stickers from the Eras tour, and the Little Golden Book!! I was so excited that I bought a fancy water bottle for the stickers 😂

(the bottle comes today so yaaay!!)

❤️ thanks, career has been shitty lately, but I'll bounce back, if not even more annoyed with corporate america.

How's the target edition? This Era it just didn't really pop to me, so I didn't pick it up, do you like it? Anything that really stands out from the other versions? I'd of course love to see the finished water bottle!

I haven't opened any of the LPs, probably won't until my frames arrive. I plan to light them up

Didn't put many stickers on my bottle just yet. On my way to work atm and this is what I have so far:

I'll probably make a post when its done 😂
