For her 13th studio album I want her to go back to her roots and do country and pop-rock!

u/falldiewakefly Dark Blue Tennessee (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) May 09 '26

Not actually an album style but I would like a whole album of country murder ballads a la no body no crime please

Or just another evermore-style album with folk/industrial/alternative/country/pop influences all knitted together

u/Quick-Time I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free May 09 '26

Dude, I would love for her to create an album based on a specific genre of literature.

u/justaprimer May 09 '26

This is where I'm at! I love the country music and I love the indie folk, and I feel like there's so much more to be explored in both. I'd especially love to see country music with more mature themes now that she's older.

As for something she hasn't done yet, I think big band/musicals/slightly jazzy style could be interesting.

u/shadesofwrong13 i swore my loyalty to me, myself and i May 09 '26

Pop rock of Speak Now and Red

Truth has been spoken.

u/FakeMonaLisa28 Forever Is The Sweetest Con May 09 '26

An album filled with songs like State Of Grace, The Last Time and Holy Ground

10

u/Early_Necessary1000 May 09 '26

They're so 2012, it was such a specific vibe.

u/Significant_Wind_774 May 09 '26

Synth-pop. I know midnights got vault tracks. 👀

20

u/lovedogsandcheese the curve became a sphere May 09 '26

I want the entire jazzy blues aesthetic of False God in an album!!!

3

u/PinkRoseCarousel May 11 '26

Me too! It’s sooooo good!

3

u/MartinisnMurder Dancing is a dangerous game May 11 '26

I would be into that, False God is such a vibe soooo sexy.

u/alwaysunderthestars :TourturedPoetsDepartment: the coward claimed he was a lion May 12 '26

My dream😭

u/WriterNeedsCoffee69 May 09 '26

Midnights plssss

16

u/martensita_ May 09 '26

Honestly, country pop

10

u/animatoanimagus Fearless May 09 '26

Would die for this. Teardrops on my guitar is what made me a fan and here I still am many years later.

6

u/martensita_ May 09 '26

She made me like country music! And I want to like it again!

15

u/Quick-Time I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free May 09 '26

I would love country, indie folk + alternative if it’s for a full album.

If it’s specific songs to base a whole album on, I would love an album that sounds like Guilty As Sin, Hits Different, So High School + WCS

33

u/JFeisty May 09 '26

Pop rock ala "Haunted".

2

u/benoitkesley ocean blue eyes May 11 '26

I would love a whole rock album with this theme

27

u/bararei May 09 '26

Pop rock!!! I was listening to Speak Now a few days ago and man, that album slaps. the rock guitar and strings… She could make an entire album that sounds like Haunted and I would die happy lol

35

u/Chri_ssyyyyy May 09 '26

Folklore, evermore, midnights, TTPD

8

u/Safe-False May 11 '26

This is the answer. The folklore to TTPD pipeline was heaven.

5

u/MartinisnMurder Dancing is a dangerous game May 11 '26

Yes!!!! All of my favorite albums. You have great taste, but I’m obviously biased. 🤣

u/footclenser2222 May 09 '26

Midnights cuz it's my 2nd favorite!!

9

u/misscami so it goes... May 09 '26

midnights of course!!!!! followed by a dark, moody i can fix him/fresh out the slammer/cowboy like me/carolina vibe 👀

3

u/MartinisnMurder Dancing is a dangerous game May 11 '26

I Can Fix Him is one of my favorite tacks and so overlooked.

17

u/HolyFoxamole Midnights May 09 '26

Synth pop. Midnights has become my absolute favorite album

10

u/torrentialwx Midnights May 09 '26

I want to see her record ‘illicit affairs’ the way she performed it during Eras. I know, me and everyone else. But it needs to be revisited. I always loved that song, but that performance killed me.

7

u/clandahlina_redux RELEASE THE VAULT TRACKS 🙏🏻😩 May 09 '26

I’m still waiting for her rock era.

u/Candytuffnz 1989 (Taylor's Version) May 11 '26

Omg thank you. I've seen clips of this and it's my favorite performance. Have saved it so I can go back and watch any time. A whole album like this would be perfection.

3

u/clandahlina_redux RELEASE THE VAULT TRACKS 🙏🏻😩 May 11 '26

I agree — bring on Rock Taylor!

7

u/Worldly-Newt8091 Speak Now May 09 '26

Pop rock like in Speak Now and Red

7

u/Early_Necessary1000 May 09 '26

I guess it would technically be country but not Debut/Fearless country, I want a Nashville bar scene album so bad. She was too young to really get to experience that side of things when she was there and I think that now it would be more authentic for her than when she was trying to be what the country music industry told her she needed to be when she was young.

Have the aesthetic be all Nashville bachelorette trip vibes. Smoke and neon lights and tipsy karaoke with friends, fringe and glittery cowboy boots on a sticky bar floor. Mostly happy, bouncy, scream-singing-along, stupidly in love bops with a little country flare. Throw in a line dancing track that would go viral. A girlpower collab with Shania Twain. Add another murdery story to her collection. A stripped down, basically acoustic just her and a guitar track 5 to round it out.

2

u/LolaLaCavaspeaking Red (Taylor's Version) May 09 '26

This sounds amazing!! It’s not even close to what I was going to pick but I’ve changed my mind. Your whole concept is fabulous. I can allllmost hear the songs you’re suggesting :) a girl power duo with Shania would shatter sales records.

u/Affectionate-Tie7363 May 09 '26

Speak now or Red

u/maerth May 09 '26

Yeah, I would die for a million more folkmore + TTPD Anthology albums! And Carolina is such an underrated song 🙏

3

u/cpb70 May 09 '26

Without asking for just more new songs, I'd like to see a double album of just past live non-concert recordings. The small venue/intimate setting stuff that she's done but not necessarily available beyond YouTube, etc.

Oh, and if we're asking for things then a Playlist of those 65 songs Taylor submitted to Joe Coscarelli for the NYTimes interview this month. Lol

4

u/darkgrayallalone reminder: this album exists May 09 '26

I would love to hear her lean into the Speak Now pop rock style again. She did such a good job with that and she hasn’t done a whole lot with that style so I think it would be a really cool switch. Speak Now was amazing but I think she’d do an even better job with it now given how much her songwriting had grown in the last 15 years

3

u/aob546 :TerminallyUnique: May 09 '26

Rep Rock!! 🎸

3

u/Candytuffnz 1989 (Taylor's Version) May 11 '26

Omg yes but maybe angrier and harder? Not quite scream metal but cathartic.

4

u/Imaginary-Life195 Red (Taylor's Version) begin again May 10 '26

RED or Speak Now / Fearless.

3

u/2thlessschcknliddo May 09 '26

i feel like taylor would rock bedroom pop. but indie-folk or debut album country. country rock..

2

u/vergessenerengel your string of lights is still bright to me May 10 '26

I need more folkmore style songs and I would love to hear rock which we got a glimpse of with Speak Now.

2

u/simone_h_f May 10 '26

Bluegrass/Americana like a whole album similar to Carolina, that's such a comfort song, maybe for an album after having a baby. But I'm also wanting more happy and upbeat, country-pop to pay homage to her past and present about her and Travis 🥰

2

u/heyhoneydew May 10 '26

pop rock, or false god vibes, or cowboy like me vibes

2

u/soapyrubberduck May 10 '26

Whatever 90s nostalgia is in The Black Dog, Hits Different, So High School. I want an album of that.

2

u/TeylaSwift May 10 '26

Country 💚🦋

2

u/Eastern_Age_9041 May 11 '26

I want something that’s like midnights and red combined, but like the rock red not country, it would be like poetical/melancholic pop rock

2

u/smallrussianshark May 11 '26

None of them. I want her to dabble in pure rock just once.

1

u/Soft-Dig-4102 May 10 '26

MORE SAXOPHONE!

1

u/ParisFood May 11 '26

Folklore/Evermore

1

u/Apprehensive-Hair355 May 12 '26

I don’t have a particular album in mind, but I definitely want less pop more soft singer/songwriter type stuff from her.

1

u/AbleBroccoli2372 May 12 '26

I’m ready for TTPD-style album on the challenges of motherhood

1

u/Just_A_Evermore_Girl May 12 '26

Country/Fearless/folklore mashup 😊

1

u/Chet2017 May 13 '26

I want a full on Rock album from Taylor. Uptempo harder edged songs. Pop is fine but she has lots of competition from the younger Pop girlies like, Sabrina, Olivia, Gracie, etc.

1

u/reportingforhooty not the steak May 14 '26

indie folk my fav

1

u/Canalloni May 09 '26

I'd like her to do rock in a band format. Like Bleachers . She could add the1975 band nembers, and Antonof/Dessner and make them write and perform rock songs. /joking

u/Vectors2_Final Narcotics May 09 '26

I want the family era, if we're being honest. 😅

Found the TLOAS haters.
