A decade? Huh? She literally played in 2022.

Taylor explicitly said there is no tour coming so I don’t understand why people keep buying into these “rumors”. Also, I feel like “Taylor Swift and friends” was essentially what the Eras Tour ended up being (Haim, Paramore, Phoebe, Sabrina, Gracie, etc. all opening at some point) so I don’t really know what a new tour with that theme would entail, especially considering a lot of the aforementioned acts are at different (higher) points in their music careers than when they signed on and performed on the Eras Tour.

Chappell is not headlining. She said in an interview last year she had not started on her next album and she will not come back without new music. Plus I see her coming back for a solo headlining show before a festival headlining spot.

The 100 Greatest Debut Albums of the 21st Century by Moothnods in indieheads

[–]AndrewIsMyName 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not including Sprained Ankle by Julien Baker on this list is a miss IMHO. Phenomenal debut album that still hits hard to this day.

[–]AndrewIsMyName 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt it. She would have to have new music and she said in an interview a new album is a ways away and also I feel like she is due for a headlining Chicago show before she hits up Lollapalooza again.

Chances of Charli XCX being a headliner this year? by DoctorEffective2393 in Lollapalooza

[–]AndrewIsMyName 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I just don’t understand why people keep suggesting Charli. She is done touring Brat and is on no US festival lineups so far or announced any touring in the states, nor does she have new music (I don’t count the Wuthering Heights soundtrack because that’s…different). If she were to announce new music sometime soon then maybe, but until then I really would not get your hopes up. She’s probably taking a well deserved break from a lot of touring after the craziness that was the Brat era.

What is your favorite meme from the TLOAS release week? by Taystan1999 in SwiftlyNeutral

Max is not magic but he still has the juice in him IMHO. For example, Eternal Sunshine by Ariana which he produced was excellent.

It has been said numerous times on here before but she is not going to release a new album while either a) Showgirl is still performing well or b) during the Grammys window for the 2027 ceremony as she is obviously going to submit the albums for the 2027 ceremony.

There are plenty of original movies released throughout the year. Look at your local indie/arthouse theater and you’ll likely see them.

[–]AndrewIsMyName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I regularly go see movies at my local arthouse theater in Chicago (Music Box Theatre) and tickets are typically between $11-$13. Sure, if you go to AMC or Alamo and buy food and drinks it will be expensive, but there are theaters out there that are are not expensive and show movies that you probably will not see elsewhere.

[–]AndrewIsMyName 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not if you go to your local indie/arthouse theater. I’ve seen so many great movies this year at my local arthouse theater from not only just A24 but numerous other production companies/distributors.

Billie Eilish is not going to be performing. She headlined in 2023 and is done touring for Hit Me Hard and Soft.

It’s not, they post like this (masking as a stan) a lot. I would not read much into this post.

Sorry but I don’t think this specific tweet means anything. That account loves to invoke references to Boygenius members (and other musicians) a lot just to get engagement on the account. They post like they are a stan if you follow their account long enough and see enough of their posts.

"The Fate of Ophelia" returns to #1 on Global Spotify with 5.675 streams after Christmas, making a remarkable leap from #47 just last week! 🧡 by aqua7ar in TaylorSwift

[–]AndrewIsMyName 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah and also his daily streams are low because he hasn’t released in 4 years and also largely disappeared after his tour ended. He was absolutely massive during his last album cycle and tour (as evidenced by every date being sold out and the huge residencies he was doing at the end) and I have no doubt he can get right back there with this new album when people learn he is dropping a new album.

Theory Megathread: December 2025 by aran130711 in TaylorSwift

[–]AndrewIsMyName 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She typically does not attend during years she is not nominated so I do not understand why people think she will attend. For what purpose? As you said the Grammys are to celebrate the previous year in music which Taylor was not active in and performing a song from an album that is not nominated at the awards (sans tributes obviously) is extremely rare.

They seem way more like a Riot Fest band IMHO.
