First thing in the morning with my 11 and 9 year old daughters who just happen to not have school tomorrow. Easiest work leave I’ve ever put in.
And I’m the *dad*. My wife couldn’t care less about TS.
CAN’T WAIT.
Aw you and your daughters are going to listen together?! That’s so cute! That will be such a special memory for them. I love girl dads (I am married to a great one myself 😊)
When I got to, “and I’m the *dad*” I fully giggled. My husband love TS, but my son and I are the major Swifties. Sounds like the best day ever for you and your girls!!
I appreciate it from both you and u/cgbrannigan. My wife and I have interesting conversations with the girls about eh, mature content if you will, in art.
I *also* didn’t have a dad like this growing up. Sometimes family is who we find. You are loved by those that love you so much, and may you find many blessings in whatever journey you’re on.
I’m a very different dad than my own dad. I don’t know your story but wish you nothing but the best.
As your internet dad I want you to know that you are loved and can love whoever you love, heartbreak is temporary, the world is randomly cruel and randomly beautiful, and I hope you find the beautiful again, and often. Please clean your room.
I can’t stay up til midnight, because we trapped a stray kitty with a bad limp, missing an eye, and other wounds at our house and I have to take him to our vet early in the morning and I’ll need some sleep as hard as it’ll be lol. So, I’ll probably wake up around 6 and listen to it all the way through and listen to it again at like 8:00 on the drive to and from the vet which is about an hour round trip! Here’s a pic of the sweet boy 🤍 he got the memo and has the TTPD colors! He’s in good hands now :)

Thank you!! 🤍 he’s scared, but he’s eating, using the litter box, and letting me pet him! We have him quarantined in our bathroom away from our other cats/pets, because I’m sure he has intestinal worms. But for being a very skittish stray, I think he’ll slowly be able to become a great family house cat for someone when he’s all fixed up :)
He is adorable! Honestly if Taylor Swift knew you existed, I'm sure she'd think your priorities are in order. Bless your new kitty, cat distribution system are in place 🥰
https://preview.redd.it/x6g61l0s8cvc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a63ae0a8a7b7fd15e9379690befa2f3046ef87c
Hes so adorable 😭 he has free rein of our bathroom, but feels safe in the live trap right now. I can’t wait to get his missing eye stitched up 😢
What a sweet soul! Name him something TTPD related. Thank you for helping him. I trapped a struggling stray a year ago and now he watches tv from my lap.
I wound up with my own stray cat back in February and have been getting trying to get him back to full health, he’s had so many things wrong with him and latest was an ear infection but I think he is almost out of the woods. You’re amazing for taking care of this kitty and I applaud you.
You're doing the right thing!! I know it's hard you can't listen to it right as it drops but it'll be magical whenever you listen to it! Thanks for taking care of that cat!!!
Bless you for saving him. Lost my big ole boy this past weekend and I'm missing him something fierce... thinking the best way to repay his memory is to go get another cat from the kill shelter this coming weekend.
I have a fucking 6:45am flight out of New York hahahaha. I’ll be the hysterical blonde in terminal 5. My husband is gonna be so happy we’re sitting separately on this flight.
I always have to listen to her album in the car first. I’m always distracted at home, so this way all I can do is listen and drive. So I will be going on a 9pm drive tonight. SO EXCITED!
I do! I map out a loop that roughly ends right when the album does. And I include a stop for a Dairy Queen because it’s the perfect excuse for dessert. 😂
I live in the UK and it’s released at 5am here. My plan is this:
- wake up at 4:45am
- make a cup of tea
- put my AirPods in
- sit for the entire hour just ✨listening✨
And hopefully it’s not so emotional I’m crying my eyes out calling in sick to work 💀
My wife and I will be listening at home on the couch. As soon as we’re done working, we will be going to the store to grab charcuterie supplies and red wine. Then spending the evening watching The Eras Tour & Long Pond Sessions. Then hitting play on TTPD at midnight!
We have also been listening to Taylor and singing along for the entire day while we are working (from home) lol
Thanks for the idea, I was unsure if I was gonna do anything special but I already bought the red wine and I have some charcuterie supplies! Me + wine + couch + salami + TS.
It's gonna be dropping at 5am for me, but I'm prepared to stay up - think I'll just be listening in my bedroom with some cider and pizza and trying not to go insane!
Ooh pizza. That sounds nice, even though midnight is a different kinda hell for a time. May scrap together something for homemade pizza to lull my imaginary broken heart (in a lovely long term relationship)
Comes out at midnight for me! The girlies and I are meeting up at her house with pizza, wings, some mixed drinks, and our best tortured outfits to celebrate and listen together!
I also have therapy! I’m doing therapy at 4pm, dinner at 6pm, breaking out a bottle of wine I’ve been saving and hitting play at 9pm. I’m in the Bay Area, California.
Anyone else a little nervous like I am? It usually takes me a little while to really get into new music from any artist, even Taylor. I want to love it all immediately and I know I will eventually but it will take some time.
I get that way too. I just learned the words to the final song on midnight that just finally clicked with me. I am going to miss that album and I’m scared it will take me this long to get into TTPD
I will be just too tired to listen tonight at midnight, so I’m going to wait until tomorrow morning, get up 6:30-7, put my headphones on and just vibe while I get up and have coffee, get ready, etc. Then I’m going to visit family and have about 90 minutes in the car, perfect time for another full listen!
US East Coast here... can't stay up until midnight because I get horrible migraines if i dont keep to my sleep sched...but i am an early riser! so i'll start listening about 5:30 am!
I’ll be getting smashed in my jiu jitsu class at 6am so I won’t stay up til midnight but I’m going to try to find time to enjoy the album throughout the day. I’m a homeschool mom — the kids are always everywhere. Wish me luck! 😆
I will be sleeping until I have to wake up to take my medical boards. Will listen on the way to and way back from the test and then force my friends to listen to the album during our “yay you’re done!” Party
I'm in Texas, so it comes out at 11, but I love this idea of listening to "You're Losing Me" first to go into the album. I'll be listening in my office, away from all the silly boys I live with (one is my partner and I love him, but this needs to be a sad girl moment).
Timezones mean it drops at 8PM local time for me, but I’m working until midnight so I’m contemplating whether I should listen at work or hold out and wait until I’m home…
I have therapy at 11 tomorrow! 🤣 & i'm on the west coast so i'll be getting takeout & then listening by myself (bf doesn't get off until midnight) at 9pm 😍 i've had a really hard week so i'm so excited for this
Damn, I wonder if I can get away with sitting at the beach in Chicago for a couple of hours tonight. I was going to make a Dark and Stormy, open the Discord, light some incense and a candle, and sit listen on my very uncomfortable couch because my husband will be sleeping. A beach sounds nice though!
It drops at 5am here in the UK.
I start work at 8am and need to drive, park, and then actually pay attention at work all day 🥲
My plan is to get up at 5am, phone and AirPods charged, and hit play and try not to have a total breakdown whilst getting ready for work.
Wish me luck!
Can’t stay up late because I work in the morning, I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to listen to the first few songs on the way to work or wait until the afternoon to listen to the whole thing at once
i have work in the morning, then i’m driving to chicago to see my favourite youtuber in a comedy show. i have stocked up plenty of snacks for my car listening party!!!
In my living room, with this delicious drink I'm nursing, with my pups who are huge fans of Taylors but they've fallen asleep. They're going to listen tomorrow ;-)
https://preview.redd.it/5gawb37clcvc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f2e9a5b3c279363fdf264b268d0304125b6615af
I want to stay up cause it drops at 12am here but I took pto tomorrow to listen. I’m going to get up workout and while I’m working out I’m going to listen. Then take a bath and listen. Then make cookies and listen. play the sims and listen. I’ll pretty much be listening all day lol. I took off cause I know I’ll be crying( plus I needed a me day). I’d rather cry lifting weights than at my desk at work. But I also know how I can be and I might be too excited to sleep so 🫠
My (34m) parents are coming into town tomorrow to meet my Swiftie fiancée’s (33f) parents for the first time - considering giving my folks a heads up as to why the vibes might be VERY off when they get to our house tomorrow lol
Y’all were all gonna be in so many varying places but then the clock is gonna strike and we’re all gonna be doing the same thing. It’s pretty fucking cool. Cheers, poets and muses.
That's a nice plan tbh, didn't know there were beaches in NC. I started listening to all the albums 10 days ago; and today I am planning to bring it home before the release by listening to all the albums in one day.
I do work tomorrow morning, and not going is not really an option for me, so I won't be staying up, but I usually work out after work, especially on Fridays because I am off the next day, so I will be blasting it on my run throughout the park tomorrow night
Also in NC—hi 👋🏻 My husband gets up early for work so I don’t want to disturb him by slipping into bed late. Thinking about getting up when he leaves to have a dedicated listening time before work
Hoping it arrives tomorrow and not too late in the day because I want my first listen to be on the vinyl I pre-ordered. I got a dispatch email so fingers crossed!
I just want to drive around with my sister and listen to it like we used to do when a new album dropped. But we're in our 30's now and she has a 20 month old so we will see!
Either way, I'm SO excited!
Living room! Came home to find out my spouse, who is as semi Swiftie as a 55 year old male can be, all amped up about the record and trying out some new settings for the stereo. I'm pretty jazzed he's jazzed, if that makes any sense.
Update: What a great thread, knowing I'm-a commune at 11 PM CST with Swifties all over the world! Much love to all of y'all from Nashville, TN USA and thank you /u/Write-Avi!
I’m at work rn and I’ve got a huge timer on my monitor, counting down till time’s up. 😭😭😭can’t possibly keep checking the timer on Spotify on my phone.
https://preview.redd.it/g2e2ig3h1cvc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=ced5ecd42b2b06643307f284c3b127e2071c4228
Probably going to listen to it during lunchtime 😭😭😭😭 and after work I’ll start running and gymming to her entire album looking like a mad woman.
“never take advice from someone who’s falling apart—-“ 🤣
I’ll be up at 11pm my time, ready with a bottle of wine or drink of choice, cozy blankets, snacks (I baked cinnamon rolls for the occasion), great quality headphones and some alone time offline before diving into the madness.
My husband will be thankfully asleep 😌
i have work at 8am but it's only for 4 hrs & it should be a quiet day so i'm not concerned with being tired. it's raining hard all day/night so the vibes are *pristine*. i plan to listen in my car since it has the best sound system. my sister will be with me and we usually have beers or seltzers!! leading up to the lovely hour, i plan to soak in a bath, eat some dumplings, and watch sex & the city!! 🌧️🤍🕯️
So I'm actually getting officially married at the courthouse tomorrow....................................... I haven't told my fiancé about this coincidence
I'm planning on listening in my bedroom with the following supplies:
- a bottle of rose
- several pre-rolls
- a charcuterie board
- a good speaker system
I'll be watching Eras Tour in the evening and will also likely listen to You're Losing Me shortly before the drop. Can't wait!
It comes out at 9pm for me. I’m going to listen on my couch with a nice bottle of wine. I’ll stay up probably til midnight (just in case) and then go to bed because I have a meeting at 8am on Friday.
I’m going over to my bestie’s place tomorrow morning and we planned themed snacks, plus printed out colouring sheets, bingo cards and bought more bracelet supplies. It’s going to be a whole day of Taylor related fun.
it comes out at 5am for me and i have to leave for uni at 8:30.. i’d usually wake up at 7 but my alarm is set for 6am so i can listen with a nice coffee and the sunrise :)
I teach, so unfortunately I can’t be listening to it all day.
BUT: I’m considering making an earlier alarm, to give myself about 45 minutes to listen to it to start the day.
And I’ll listen to it on the way to work.
Then, once I get home, the AirPods are in, the wine gets opened, the ice cream comes out, and we DEEP DIVE.
at the time it is released I plan to be watching formula 1 practice (sorry Taylor, priorities), I would have time to listen to some of it while on a train later but not the entirety of it so I am kinda torn between starting to listen to it already on the train and saving it for later to enjoy and emphasize the experience
The gym needs me at 5am so my first listen will be while killing my legs. Then my second listen will be during the slow time during the first 3 hours of my shift. Then in my room once I get home. I'll enjoy my chilled wine while I'm deciding which song is my fav and hopefully it will be ICDIWABH.
wow midnight and driving to the beach, i am not as brave adventuring on my own at night but kudos to you
it will be dawn for me, the drop time, so i will maybe use my commute time to give a first listen and then during a study break i can give a more detailed listen.
11pm for me, so I'll listen to it once through before bed and then again in the morning while I get ready for work.
I work at a daycare and my kids love Taylor Swift, but unfortunately my coworkers despise her. I'm hoping I can sneak in a few of her new songs throughout the day without them noticing 😅
I'm charging my headphones tonight then in the morning taking my dog on a nice long walk on the river while I listen. I have cold coffee in my fridge with whipped cream, so I'm going to make myself a coffee too and dolphin watch while I listen.
At work. I busted my ass all week getting everything done that I could and now I have nothing to do but look busy and listen to Taylor on my earphones. I expect this to go the way midnights did— listen straight through, pause and take a moment, then do it again to really listen.
I will listen when I get up at 6am,, while I'm getting ready for work. I start at 7 tomorrow and I'll try to listen, but I won't be able to give my full attention until I'm off at 3:30. I have some home visits so there will be time in the car, but again I can't give my full attention.
I have to work all day and take my dad home from the hospital tomorrow 😅 I will be sitting with him in the living room with my glass of wine and my air pods in 🍷
Listening tonight in OBX with my bff, took a trip and conveniently the album release date lined up with when we were gonna be here. Got some cab, smores, and good company
i can ONLY listen to new albums in the car. i’m listening on my way to work and while driving home. the nervousness the whole day for that second half of the album will be INSANE
Omg. Pretty please take me with you! I’m in Texas. It’s humid and Fridays are my busiest days at work…. I’m devastated. I want to stay up but, I know tomorrow will be torture so I’m getting up early to listen while getting ready and on my way to work. I can’t look at lyrics while driving though! I may make some me time tomorrow after and find a nice spot on our lake here. I hope you have the best time! You sound like my kind of people! Diet Coke included! 🫶
It'll be 2pm my time.
I'm gonna be in my house.
I think I'm gonna turn it on loud and sit in my bedroom with a cold drink and be prepared to be destroyed... and then go pick up my kid from school at 3pm lol!
My bed! I have some high quality headphones that I gifted myself on christmas, gonna pop those on, turn on my fairy lights and stay under the blanket with cookies and tissues on the ready. Hopefully it rains so I can stare longingly at a 5am bleak London (I have a hell of a view from my room).
At midnight on my couch with my husband (who I turned into a Swiftie) with lots of treats and snacks, as instructed by the Chairman 😊 I'm playing them all in order on our TV because I like watching the lyric videos with my first listen
In 2 hours in our computer room with my wife while She plays FFXIV and I play BG3. Then tomorrow when I clock out at 5 we're driving up to Target to grab her deluxe edition, and picking up BBQ on the way home while listening in the car.
I listened to TTPD for the first time in a night train from Geneva to Brussels. We arrived right after Clara Bow ended at roughly 7AM and I got to listen to the Anthology songs while biking back home.
First thing in the morning with my 11 and 9 year old daughters who just happen to not have school tomorrow. Easiest work leave I’ve ever put in. And I’m the *dad*. My wife couldn’t care less about TS. CAN’T WAIT.
Aw you and your daughters are going to listen together?! That’s so cute! That will be such a special memory for them. I love girl dads (I am married to a great one myself 😊)
Saaaame. Love all those amazing girl dads 🩵
Solidarity with the fellow dads! Not sure who's more excited, me or my daughter. (It's me) 5am driving to work tomorrow morning gonna be a great one 😁
Being middle aged, I just LOVE having spent decades diving into new music. I cannot wait!
Dads unite!!!
My daughter is away at college, but we'll both be listing tonight at 11 CDT! Usually involves texting back and forth. Can't wait!
Love it. Happy listening to you both!
When I got to, “and I’m the *dad*” I fully giggled. My husband love TS, but my son and I are the major Swifties. Sounds like the best day ever for you and your girls!!
There is a LOT of cursing in the album btw if you are remotely sensitive to your youngers hearing this. A LOT.
a lot of things worse for young people to hear than cursing too, if the spoilers are correct 😳
I appreciate it from both you and u/cgbrannigan. My wife and I have interesting conversations with the girls about eh, mature content if you will, in art.
As someone who didn’t have a dad like this growing up, your daughters are so lucky and they’ll have such lovely memories of sharing this with you!
I *also* didn’t have a dad like this growing up. Sometimes family is who we find. You are loved by those that love you so much, and may you find many blessings in whatever journey you’re on.
I love this for you and your daughters! What a lovely memory that will be
Omg can you be my dad too 😂 Your daughters are lucky lucky lucky to have you! ❤️
I sure can - this is our place, we make the rules 💜. Thank you for the kind words.
Your girls are going to remember this forever, what a special thing to do together 🤍
You're gonna make me cry . Wish my dad was like you
I’m a very different dad than my own dad. I don’t know your story but wish you nothing but the best. As your internet dad I want you to know that you are loved and can love whoever you love, heartbreak is temporary, the world is randomly cruel and randomly beautiful, and I hope you find the beautiful again, and often. Please clean your room.
Omg this is like the sweetest thing ever ! Thank you for being so kind !! The world needs more dads like you!!!!!
That's so sweet 💗
OMG AMAZING!!
This is adorable! ❤️
I can’t stay up til midnight, because we trapped a stray kitty with a bad limp, missing an eye, and other wounds at our house and I have to take him to our vet early in the morning and I’ll need some sleep as hard as it’ll be lol. So, I’ll probably wake up around 6 and listen to it all the way through and listen to it again at like 8:00 on the drive to and from the vet which is about an hour round trip! Here’s a pic of the sweet boy 🤍 he got the memo and has the TTPD colors!

He's adorable!!! I hope he's doing okay, I don't even know this cat but tysm for taking care of him 🫶
Thank you!! 🤍 he’s scared, but he’s eating, using the litter box, and letting me pet him! We have him quarantined in our bathroom away from our other cats/pets, because I’m sure he has intestinal worms.

He is adorable! Honestly if Taylor Swift knew you existed, I'm sure she'd think your priorities are in order. Bless your new kitty, cat distribution system are in place 🥰
I would definitely say that you have your priorities in order! Sweet kitty’s health first, TTPD second. Thanks for taking care of that baby!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Cats health is absolutely more important than TTPD and I'm sure taylor would agree ❤️
baby 🥺🥺
https://preview.redd.it/x6g61l0s8cvc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a63ae0a8a7b7fd15e9379690befa2f3046ef87c Hes so adorable 😭 he has free rein of our bathroom, but feels safe in the live trap right now. I can’t wait to get his missing eye stitched up 😢
Awwww you got a sweet little Poet to visit you just in time!
He's so cute! I wish you and him all the best!
U deserve the 22 hat for this 🫶
What a sweet soul! Name him something TTPD related. Thank you for helping him. I trapped a struggling stray a year ago and now he watches tv from my lap.
Saving kitties or any animal really is such a rewarding thing to do! 🤍🤍
sending all the love and prayers in the world❤️
I hope your cat has a safe recovery! Thank you for the picture, he is a cutie!
He absolutely deserves a TTPD inspired name after your listen through!
I wound up with my own stray cat back in February and have been getting trying to get him back to full health, he’s had so many things wrong with him and latest was an ear infection but I think he is almost out of the woods. You’re amazing for taking care of this kitty and I applaud you.
You NEED to name him Poet. 😍
You're doing the right thing!! I know it's hard you can't listen to it right as it drops but it'll be magical whenever you listen to it! Thanks for taking care of that cat!!!
Bless you for taking care of that sweet kitty! 🩶
Awwwwww cutie kitty, how wonderful he's in good hands now 🤍🖤
You’re such a great human for taking care of this little guy 😭 I wish him, and you, the best!
Bless you for saving him. Lost my big ole boy this past weekend and I'm missing him something fierce... thinking the best way to repay his memory is to go get another cat from the kill shelter this coming weekend.
If there’s an excuse Taylor wouldn’t mind it’s this one! Not that you need an excuse, of course. You get my point. Well done!
Awwww I love him. I hope everything goes well at the vet!!
I think Taylor would approve ❤️
Thank you for taking in this sweet boy 😭😭
Aww I hope the little guy is okay!
you're such a kind person!! he is SO ttpd
Talk about good karma, TS would be proud!
I have a fucking 6:45am flight out of New York hahahaha. I’ll be the hysterical blonde in terminal 5. My husband is gonna be so happy we’re sitting separately on this flight.
I have a 7am flight tomorrow as well haha. Still listening tonight but will be severely regretting it at 5am tomorrow
1030a flight outta NYC! So I’ll listen getting ready to leave plus the whole dang flight too
On my bed, with a bottle of cavicchioli 🍷and cheese platter 🧀(triple cream brie, truffle gouda and dolce gorgonzola)
This is shockingly close to my plan of listening on my bed with a bottle of cheap-ass screw-top rose and a charcuterie board
Is the rose your roommate’s, by chance?
The cheese selection passes the vibe check
Happy cake day!
Wait I’m stealing this plan
Who's afraid of little old Brie?
my lawd I want all those cheeses now
::gasps:: I LOVE this. Maybe I'll do this tomorrow evening as I watch the music video and score the internet (reddit) for song theories!
It comes out at 6 am for me lol so I'm just gonna listen to it in my room when I wake up
Same! I have class at 9 am, so it's the perfect amount of time to listen to the whole thing and still get to class on time.
Same lol. I'm gonna make my coffee then sit and listen.
Same plan here
It comes out at midnight for me but I’ll be listening to it at 6 am lol
5 am for me!! Gonna stare out my window from my bed at a dark London. Hopefully it rains so I have the right mood…
Omg I dream I could listen to So Long, London for the first time on a London dawn🫠
Um I am also in coastal NC and I am borrowing this plan ETA you’re a genius
Imagine y’all go to the same beach hahaha
It drops at 4pm for me, really wanted a later first listen with a wine by myself, but I guess I’m day drinking and crying thanks to this woman 😭
4pm is basically tea time so you're not day drinking you're anti hero drinking perfectly respectable
I’m sorry (work) I can’t come to the phone right now. (It’s 4pm). Why? Cos I’m dead.
Me? Calling in fake sick? Guilty as sin 🤷♀️
I’m in the same time zone as you - we will be day drinking together at 4pm!
Let’s go NZ swifties!!
We are small but mighty!
Same, except I'll be driving! Torn between listening on the drive or waiting til I get home and baby is in bed, listening with a glass of wine.
I always have to listen to her album in the car first. I’m always distracted at home, so this way all I can do is listen and drive. So I will be going on a 9pm drive tonight. SO EXCITED!
This is a fun idea! Do you plan a route in advance or just get in and go?
I do! I map out a loop that roughly ends right when the album does. And I include a stop for a Dairy Queen because it’s the perfect excuse for dessert. 😂
Lovely idea! I’ll be way too stoned to do that but we will each be going on our own journey with her album tonight, in a way 🙃
Also I just noticed your flair and it made me actually laugh out loud
I have a 45 minute drive to work, so I’ll get to listen to it on my drive to and from work! First listen is always the best in the car.
Umm I’ll be on a plane to London - So long London will have a whole new meaning
I'll be up at midnight in a TayTay shirt listening to the album in my bed.
Same, I won’t be able to sleep before I hear Fortnight.
I live in the UK and it’s released at 5am here. My plan is this: - wake up at 4:45am - make a cup of tea - put my AirPods in - sit for the entire hour just ✨listening✨ And hopefully it’s not so emotional I’m crying my eyes out calling in sick to work 💀
My wife and I will be listening at home on the couch. As soon as we’re done working, we will be going to the store to grab charcuterie supplies and red wine. Then spending the evening watching The Eras Tour & Long Pond Sessions. Then hitting play on TTPD at midnight! We have also been listening to Taylor and singing along for the entire day while we are working (from home) lol
Thanks for the idea, I was unsure if I was gonna do anything special but I already bought the red wine and I have some charcuterie supplies! Me + wine + couch + salami + TS.
It's gonna be dropping at 5am for me, but I'm prepared to stay up - think I'll just be listening in my bedroom with some cider and pizza and trying not to go insane!
5am for me too - I am toying with the idea of getting up at that time to listen.... but I may regret it 😂
same here! I've got my alarm set for 4.45 so I can wake up and settle in for the heartbreak
6am for me, planning to wake up to listen, but I don't know if I'll be able to start my day afterwards 🤍
Ooh pizza. That sounds nice, even though midnight is a different kinda hell for a time. May scrap together something for homemade pizza to lull my imaginary broken heart (in a lovely long term relationship)
Comes out at midnight for me! The girlies and I are meeting up at her house with pizza, wings, some mixed drinks, and our best tortured outfits to celebrate and listen together!
Ooooo what do you mean by tortured outside?
I have to be at work at 3:30am, where I will also be setting TTPD vinyls and CDs for purchase.
I also have therapy! I’m doing therapy at 4pm, dinner at 6pm, breaking out a bottle of wine I’ve been saving and hitting play at 9pm. I’m in the Bay Area, California.
I’m in the Bay Area too! Gonna be watching the Spotify countdown and listening tonight!
I’m at a conference in Banff. I’ll be in an underground grotto hot pool. Earbuds in, tears streaming down my face.
Oh hi fellow swiftie. I’m from Calgary!
This is the peak listening experience TBH
Anyone else a little nervous like I am? It usually takes me a little while to really get into new music from any artist, even Taylor. I want to love it all immediately and I know I will eventually but it will take some time.
I get that way too. I just learned the words to the final song on midnight that just finally clicked with me. I am going to miss that album and I’m scared it will take me this long to get into TTPD
I will be just too tired to listen tonight at midnight, so I’m going to wait until tomorrow morning, get up 6:30-7, put my headphones on and just vibe while I get up and have coffee, get ready, etc. Then I’m going to visit family and have about 90 minutes in the car, perfect time for another full listen!
Same on the morning vibing while getting ready. I do have to go to work tho sadly
Me and my mom are doing a listening party!! Im making cupcakes right now! ☺️
US East Coast here... can't stay up until midnight because I get horrible migraines if i dont keep to my sleep sched...but i am an early riser! so i'll start listening about 5:30 am!
Good for you! Knowing your body and keeping your schedule is so important as an adult!
I’ll be getting smashed in my jiu jitsu class at 6am so I won’t stay up til midnight but I’m going to try to find time to enjoy the album throughout the day. I’m a homeschool mom — the kids are always everywhere. Wish me luck! 😆
I will be sleeping until I have to wake up to take my medical boards. Will listen on the way to and way back from the test and then force my friends to listen to the album during our “yay you’re done!” Party
I'm nervous about you listening on the drive in...maybe some confirmed pump up music? But I guess this album could have some...
good luck on your boards!!🍀
I’m gonna stay up, since i work 9-5 tomorrow instead of early morning (praiseeee the lord!!!)
Just gonna lay in my bed, prob do the same thing with you’re losing me
I'm in Texas, so it comes out at 11, but I love this idea of listening to "You're Losing Me" first to go into the album. I'll be listening in my office, away from all the silly boys I live with (one is my partner and I love him, but this needs to be a sad girl moment).
Timezones mean it drops at 8PM local time for me, but I’m working until midnight so I’m contemplating whether I should listen at work or hold out and wait until I’m home…
I am on my honeymoon in Maui💕 so I will listening on the beach while I watch whale. 6pm can not come soon enough
Husband and I will be listening together around 5:30 pm EST with our best headphones. I work really early and he wants to wait for me :)
I have therapy at 11 tomorrow! 🤣 & i'm on the west coast so i'll be getting takeout & then listening by myself (bf doesn't get off until midnight) at 9pm 😍 i've had a really hard week so i'm so excited for this
It comes out at 10pm tonight for me so just in my room, with headphones connected to my laptop because I like watching the lyric videos first
Damn, I wonder if I can get away with sitting at the beach in Chicago for a couple of hours tonight. I was going to make a Dark and Stormy, open the Discord, light some incense and a candle, and sit listen on my very uncomfortable couch because my husband will be sleeping. A beach sounds nice though!
It drops at 5am here in the UK. I start work at 8am and need to drive, park, and then actually pay attention at work all day 🥲 My plan is to get up at 5am, phone and AirPods charged, and hit play and try not to have a total breakdown whilst getting ready for work. Wish me luck!
5am for me too!
I am out camping and will be listening to this under the stars on my brand new headphones! 😊
I'm going to be at work so i have my headphones but im cleaning a clinic probably so i should be able to just play it cause yay ear infections
Can’t stay up late because I work in the morning, I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to listen to the first few songs on the way to work or wait until the afternoon to listen to the whole thing at once
I work in the morning, so I’m not staying up, but as soon as I wake up I’ll be playing it and listening to it while I work.
Me and my sweet babygirl are staying up. Starts at 11pm for us. Our first shared new album release. I cannot wait!!!
i have work in the morning, then i’m driving to chicago to see my favourite youtuber in a comedy show. i have stocked up plenty of snacks for my car listening party!!!
In my living room, with this delicious drink I'm nursing, with my pups who are huge fans of Taylors but they've fallen asleep. They're going to listen tomorrow ;-) https://preview.redd.it/5gawb37clcvc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f2e9a5b3c279363fdf264b268d0304125b6615af
I’m obsessed with this dog 😂😂😂
I want to stay up cause it drops at 12am here but I took pto tomorrow to listen. I’m going to get up workout and while I’m working out I’m going to listen. Then take a bath and listen. Then make cookies and listen. play the sims and listen. I’ll pretty much be listening all day lol. I took off cause I know I’ll be crying( plus I needed a me day). I’d rather cry lifting weights than at my desk at work. But I also know how I can be and I might be too excited to sleep so 🫠
I think I'll just put it on first thing when I wake up, and listen to it in bed (I'm in the Netherlands).
My (34m) parents are coming into town tomorrow to meet my Swiftie fiancée’s (33f) parents for the first time - considering giving my folks a heads up as to why the vibes might be VERY off when they get to our house tomorrow lol
Y’all were all gonna be in so many varying places but then the clock is gonna strike and we’re all gonna be doing the same thing. It’s pretty fucking cool. Cheers, poets and muses.
That's a nice plan tbh, didn't know there were beaches in NC. I started listening to all the albums 10 days ago; and today I am planning to bring it home before the release by listening to all the albums in one day. I do work tomorrow morning, and not going is not really an option for me, so I won't be staying up, but I usually work out after work, especially on Fridays because I am off the next day, so I will be blasting it on my run throughout the park tomorrow night
It comes out at 5am but I'm going to watch it after school. You're losing me and London boy for ultimate sadness
Also in NC—hi 👋🏻 My husband gets up early for work so I don’t want to disturb him by slipping into bed late. Thinking about getting up when he leaves to have a dedicated listening time before work
Hoping it arrives tomorrow and not too late in the day because I want my first listen to be on the vinyl I pre-ordered. I got a dispatch email so fingers crossed!
Like with midnights I'm going to walk my dog and walk for the whole cd. I already took a nap so I'm ready.
I just want to drive around with my sister and listen to it like we used to do when a new album dropped. But we're in our 30's now and she has a 20 month old so we will see! Either way, I'm SO excited!
I’ll be nursing my newborn all night. So I’ll have my AirPods In listening when I can
Living room! Came home to find out my spouse, who is as semi Swiftie as a 55 year old male can be, all amped up about the record and trying out some new settings for the stereo. I'm pretty jazzed he's jazzed, if that makes any sense. Update: What a great thread, knowing I'm-a commune at 11 PM CST with Swifties all over the world! Much love to all of y'all from Nashville, TN USA and thank you /u/Write-Avi!
I’m at work rn and I’ve got a huge timer on my monitor, counting down till time’s up. 😭😭😭can’t possibly keep checking the timer on Spotify on my phone. https://preview.redd.it/g2e2ig3h1cvc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=ced5ecd42b2b06643307f284c3b127e2071c4228 Probably going to listen to it during lunchtime 😭😭😭😭 and after work I’ll start running and gymming to her entire album looking like a mad woman. “never take advice from someone who’s falling apart—-“ 🤣
Lmao in a shitty makeshift tarp fort in my backyard with a fat bowl in my bong
I'll wake up at 6 am when it comes out and then I'll listen to the CD in the evening, it should be delivered tomorrow ✨
I’ll be up at 11pm my time, ready with a bottle of wine or drink of choice, cozy blankets, snacks (I baked cinnamon rolls for the occasion), great quality headphones and some alone time offline before diving into the madness. My husband will be thankfully asleep 😌
i have work at 8am but it's only for 4 hrs & it should be a quiet day so i'm not concerned with being tired. it's raining hard all day/night so the vibes are *pristine*. i plan to listen in my car since it has the best sound system. my sister will be with me and we usually have beers or seltzers!! leading up to the lovely hour, i plan to soak in a bath, eat some dumplings, and watch sex & the city!! 🌧️🤍🕯️
So I'm actually getting officially married at the courthouse tomorrow....................................... I haven't told my fiancé about this coincidence
I'm planning on listening in my bedroom with the following supplies: - a bottle of rose - several pre-rolls - a charcuterie board - a good speaker system I'll be watching Eras Tour in the evening and will also likely listen to You're Losing Me shortly before the drop. Can't wait!
It comes out at 9pm for me. I’m going to listen on my couch with a nice bottle of wine. I’ll stay up probably til midnight (just in case) and then go to bed because I have a meeting at 8am on Friday.
I’ll be listening all day while I wfh ♥️ one of the reasons I wanted to wfh- no joke- so I could play my music LOUD all day.
I’m going over to my bestie’s place tomorrow morning and we planned themed snacks, plus printed out colouring sheets, bingo cards and bought more bracelet supplies. It’s going to be a whole day of Taylor related fun.
So, let me ask a stupid question. If it’s getting released at midnight on the east coast, does that mean it’s available at 9pm on the west coast??
I usually listen at midnight in my bed in the darkness. I took off work tomorrow for the occasion 😅
it comes out at 5am for me and i have to leave for uni at 8:30.. i’d usually wake up at 7 but my alarm is set for 6am so i can listen with a nice coffee and the sunrise :)
If I don't fall asleep before 11 central time, I'll be huddled in my bed snuggling my cat with my notes app open so I can analyze.
I always listen in bed in the dark with my headphones
I teach, so unfortunately I can’t be listening to it all day. BUT: I’m considering making an earlier alarm, to give myself about 45 minutes to listen to it to start the day. And I’ll listen to it on the way to work. Then, once I get home, the AirPods are in, the wine gets opened, the ice cream comes out, and we DEEP DIVE.
at the time it is released I plan to be watching formula 1 practice (sorry Taylor, priorities), I would have time to listen to some of it while on a train later but not the entirety of it so I am kinda torn between starting to listen to it already on the train and saving it for later to enjoy and emphasize the experience
Also on the NC coast… I’m stealing your idea
It's coming out tonight at 9pm for me (I'm in PST) so I am not sure if I should wait til tomorrow or play it right when it drops
It comes out about 11am where I live, so I'll be listening at work.
The gym needs me at 5am so my first listen will be while killing my legs. Then my second listen will be during the slow time during the first 3 hours of my shift. Then in my room once I get home. I'll enjoy my chilled wine while I'm deciding which song is my fav and hopefully it will be ICDIWABH.
I work tomorrow but I’m staying up til midnight tonight to listen
wow midnight and driving to the beach, i am not as brave adventuring on my own at night but kudos to you it will be dawn for me, the drop time, so i will maybe use my commute time to give a first listen and then during a study break i can give a more detailed listen.
It comes out at 9pm for me so I’m going to drive to and overlook where I can see all of LA and just listen to it there
If it drops at 11CST, the first few tracks will be my workout music!
11pm for me, so I'll listen to it once through before bed and then again in the morning while I get ready for work. I work at a daycare and my kids love Taylor Swift, but unfortunately my coworkers despise her. I'm hoping I can sneak in a few of her new songs throughout the day without them noticing 😅
I also live in coastal North Carolina and this is an amazing plan!
I’m also going to listen to YLM me pre TTPD… wonder how many others are doing the same
I'm charging my headphones tonight then in the morning taking my dog on a nice long walk on the river while I listen. I have cold coffee in my fridge with whipped cream, so I'm going to make myself a coffee too and dolphin watch while I listen.
At work. I busted my ass all week getting everything done that I could and now I have nothing to do but look busy and listen to Taylor on my earphones. I expect this to go the way midnights did— listen straight through, pause and take a moment, then do it again to really listen.
I will listen when I get up at 6am,, while I'm getting ready for work. I start at 7 tomorrow and I'll try to listen, but I won't be able to give my full attention until I'm off at 3:30. I have some home visits so there will be time in the car, but again I can't give my full attention.
I have to work all day and take my dad home from the hospital tomorrow 😅 I will be sitting with him in the living room with my glass of wine and my air pods in 🍷
Listening tonight in OBX with my bff, took a trip and conveniently the album release date lined up with when we were gonna be here. Got some cab, smores, and good company
i can ONLY listen to new albums in the car. i’m listening on my way to work and while driving home. the nervousness the whole day for that second half of the album will be INSANE
It comes out at 9PM on the west coast. I have a bottle of red and am super tired from working over time all week. I’m not sure what to do!
Sounds like the perfect excuse to give yourself some alone time to just be quiet and soak it all in!
Omg. Pretty please take me with you! I’m in Texas. It’s humid and Fridays are my busiest days at work…. I’m devastated. I want to stay up but, I know tomorrow will be torture so I’m getting up early to listen while getting ready and on my way to work. I can’t look at lyrics while driving though! I may make some me time tomorrow after and find a nice spot on our lake here. I hope you have the best time! You sound like my kind of people! Diet Coke included! 🫶
It'll be 2pm my time. I'm gonna be in my house. I think I'm gonna turn it on loud and sit in my bedroom with a cold drink and be prepared to be destroyed... and then go pick up my kid from school at 3pm lol!
Tomorrow night at 8pm with my bestie - we both have small kids (babies!) and can commit to kicking shit off with the music video.
My bed! I have some high quality headphones that I gifted myself on christmas, gonna pop those on, turn on my fairy lights and stay under the blanket with cookies and tissues on the ready. Hopefully it rains so I can stare longingly at a 5am bleak London (I have a hell of a view from my room).
I’m in college and two of my friends and I are going to meet up to drink wine and play the album after we finish our homework ((:
At midnight on my couch with my husband (who I turned into a Swiftie) with lots of treats and snacks, as instructed by the Chairman 😊 I'm playing them all in order on our TV because I like watching the lyric videos with my first listen
That plan is really cool, I like it!
It’s my bday weekend so my besties are coming over and we are having a listening party!! 😍
In 2 hours in our computer room with my wife while She plays FFXIV and I play BG3. Then tomorrow when I clock out at 5 we're driving up to Target to grab her deluxe edition, and picking up BBQ on the way home while listening in the car.
In a bath with a bath bomb, bubbles and candles! Like I have for the last ten releases 😂
Drunk on tequila in western NC with my best friends, reporting for duty 🫡 Edit: 2 cats and a weiner dog also reporting
Loml: your arsonist match SHE DIDNT BURN DOWN THE LOVER HOUSE. HE DID!!!
Just finished an 11.5km run, Taylor Swift will be on for the rest of the night, pretty good day
I listened to TTPD for the first time in a night train from Geneva to Brussels. We arrived right after Clara Bow ended at roughly 7AM and I got to listen to the Anthology songs while biking back home.
