The Cabin In Candlelight: The Swiftie Podcast (Ep. 1: Oh, Hi!)

Instructions

(Everything below is a transcript of the voice-recording in the project) ───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰─── Welcome to this episode of the Cabin In Candlelight, a completely unofficial podcast for Swifties, by a Swiftie! From me to you, here is the weekly Swiftie community updates. Enjoy ❤ ───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰─── ·˚ ༘₊· ͟͟͞͞꒰➳ The Eras Tour ➔Oh, The Eras Tour. A global phenomenon. An award winning tour. Something us swifties love and cherish. Every day, at least three times a week, those who can't go wake up to brand new pictures of Taylor in her sparkling, shimmering bodysuits. Taylor in her stunning Speak Now dresses. We play Mastermind to guess surprise songs and outfits. We clown for announcements we know deep down won't happen for a while. Its something that has brought us together in a way nothing else ever could. But, sadly, every good thing has an end. Our beloved tour ends in December, as announced by Taylor herself on Liverpool Night 1. ───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰── ·˚ ༘₊· ͟͟͞͞꒰➳ Are We REALLY "...Ready For It?" ➔ Many swifties were clowning for the re-release of Reputation, an album many say is Taylor's best. The date was June 13th, 2024. The show was Liverpool Night 1. The 100th Eras Tour performance. With posts from Taylor Nation hinting at a big announcement, we collectively gathered our clown costumes. Would it be a Taylor's Version? A music video? New tour dates? A TTPD single? A new movie? A documentary? The possibilities alone would take up all the space in this article. We waited as Paramore finished their opener. The eyes of those who couldn't go, fixed on a grainy live stream, (thank you, those who create the live streams!!! ) we waited. The Reputation set passed with nothing out of the ordinary happening. Finally, the dreaded surprise songs came. After two stunning mashups, (I Can See You x Mine on guitar and Cornelia Street x Maroon on piano) swifties around the world wiped off their clown makeup and put away their costumes. We'd been clowned again. Not even a music video has been announced. ➔ Since before TTPD, swifties have had theories about Reputation (Taylor's Version), affectionately nicknamed "Rep TV" by many. First November 26th, and now June 13th. Some even clowned for New Year's Day, 2024 (Me and my friends were "some") The release date is still unknown, but I personally still have a theory. ➔ (DISCLAIMER: This is all a theory, none of it is official) So far, Taylor has followed a pattern. Two re-records one year, then an album the next. This has happened twice already, first with Fearless TV and Red TV in 2021, and then Midnights in 2022. In 2023, we got Speak Now TV and 1989 TV. In 2024 (so far) we got TTPD. This is where we get to my theory. Most people know the Taylor quote "There will be no explanation, just Reputation." This has been the leading hunch as to HOW Rep TV will be released. A lot of people think she will drop it with next to no warning, like with Folklore and Evermore (both were announced an hour before their release times). And if she DOES announce it a few months before, I personally think it will be announced in November of 2024 (the announce dates don't fit into the pattern at all). This way, it would be released just about two months later, on New Year's Day, 2025. I think this is one of the few theories that make sense (from what I've heard, don't come after me.) What do you guys think? Feel free to post your own theories or add to mine in the comments! ❤ ───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰── That's all for this episode of The Cabin In Candlelight!
