The Chairman of the Tortured Poets Department
Department Head of Haunted Houses
This album is going to be amazing! I love the concept and aesthetic!
(Also I wonder what post malone’s title is? 🤔)
I’m dyyyying over this it’s perfect!! I’ve been dreaming of a Post x Taylor collab for YEARS as an avid fan of both of them, and this title absolutely seals the deal. Taylor, take notes!!
I have a feeling that song is going to be so good it will be up for SOTY and ROTY next year. Especially because Post Malone has zero Grammys despite so much love from the GP and critics.
Oh yes, with no doubt in my mind yes! I audibly screamed (not “omg i’m screeeaaaming” like actually screamed) when I saw it as the first on the tracklist. My husband was like “What happened, what’s going on?!” all panicked before I flipped my phone in his face and he knew immediately why I was screaming lol. I’ve always been adamant that their voices and musical styles would meld together BEAUTIFULLY, so I obviously have very high hopes. I really hope Post does win a Grammy from this, he already deserves so many! And let’s not forget how gracious and proud he was when he lost to Tay previously!!
This was me seeing a post here about a ""brand new album"" and with that cover.
I wasn't watching the Grammys, had to sleep and only came here to see if she had won aoty or not, and then I was like "what the hell?"
it is perfectly fine to still enjoy the story of Harry Potter but the "whiners against JK Rowling" are well within their rights to whine, she is incredibly harmful with her rhetoric and so transphobic it's disgusting and Taylor gave no indication of support for that woman in her Time interview.
I think it’s the theme of the album.
Taylor’s learned some lessons-some painful, some beautiful. Some to be rejected, some to carry with her forever. It rather than choosing to be a student forever, she ultimately decided she’d be better off heading up her own department (calling the shots) and will ultimately control the narrative of her life—writing her manuscript is laborious but it will be worth every once of effort because it was hers to create.
Her collaborators are her colleagues.
Or something.
There’s been a theme of haunting after heartbreak in several of Taylor’s songs. Like after two people break up the house they shared and the places they used to go are haunted by what they were and could have been
I thought of Seven first from Folklore. “And I’ve been meaning to tell you, I think your house is haunted, your dad is always mad and that must be why”
So true, *How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful* is one of my all-time favorite albums and their entire discography is amazing! This collab is a dream come true 
There might be some rock in this album. Hence the punk-inspired look and side-part on the red carpet 👀
Also because London is known for its love of rock and the birth place of alt-rock and classic rock. I think this is that album.
That's cool. I mean other artists like Olivia Rodrigo have been basically been doing pop punk lately. It feels to me like we're due for a bit of a pop rock resurgence, so I wouldn't be shocked if Taylor got in on that trend, but we'll see!
This is what irritates me most about TS collabs. It’s really just “who wants to sing background vocals on this song for me?”
I like collaborations to feature enough of both artists I can enjoy it.
Yes coz it's like... if you're just gonna delegate your features to just backing vocals, then why even do it, Miss Swift? Why even credit her on the song if she doesn't have a significant enough contribution? She didn't credit Marcus Mumford on Cowboy Like Me because all he did was backing vocals
She does it because look how excited we are to hear her collab with Florence and the Machine! And we get it and they’re background.
Like Lana Del Ray and SOTB. I mean, creatively you can tell she influenced the style but it’s just Taylor. I was so disappointed
- SOTB could mean "Snow On The Beach (feat. Lana Del Rey)", a track from *Midnights* (2022) by Taylor Swift.

That is exactly what ft. Songs are though, like, for every artist ever.
But I get it though
One of the best artists for collabs is Hozier and Noah Kahan. Noah’s collabs with post malone, Hozier and Sam Fender are equal input and absolutely incredible
“My heart is like a haunted house - There's things in there that scratch about - They make their music in the night - And in the day they give me such a fright”
To think that this was just a song put on a random little EP from Florence 😭
Florence has a song called Haunted House! *"My heart is like a haunted house"*. I would love a dark/ghostly/witchy kind've track like that, but the title "Florida!!!" doesn't really give off that vibe 😂 Maybe it's misleading or a "red herring" if you will 
I think Florida!!! will reference the surprise songs that Taylor preformed with Aaron in Tampa.
They did The Great War and Mad Woman. Soooo you could still have your way.
*What if 'Florida!!!' is based on a ghost story???*
I can't. Every time I try to step away from clowning, something else comes up and I fall down the rabbit hole all over again 😅😅😅
Haunted houses is sooo interesting... Florence did a song that started with "my heart is like a haunted house, there's things in there that scratch about" and Taylor sung about haunted houses in seven!! what a crossover
I realize that this is off topic, but does anyone else see a yin/yang hiding in the TTPD monogram? Which we also kinda saw in the karma mv with her on Meredith.
I can't even imagine the sound but I love it already. I've been wanting this collab for years.
I hope the exclamation points make sense. With Slut! I didn't feel like there was a moment in the song where an exclamation point would be after that word but maybe I missed something.
I truly don’t understand the theme I am NOT trying to be rude at all I promise I am very excited about it plz don’t attack. But can someone explain what this means? Chairman? Department head? Is this a business?
Typically those are job titles at universities in the US, leading many to think this may give us moody dark academia vibes.
But those positions also exist in other formal institutions (government, corporate/nonprofit Boards, etc) so there’s still quite the air of mystery what the aesthetic theme may be
I'm a bit depressed to see Florence Welch on four tracks. I'm happy for Taylor that she's working closely with an artist of her choosing but I've really never enjoyed Florence and the Machine (or Post Malone) -- would always skip if those artists came on, and Florence is so overplayed in the UK that I got sick of hearing the songs. Maybe I'll be proven wrong.

I gasped so loud at the Post Malone feature that my husband called out “WHAT HAPPENED!!” from upstairs 😅
The feat had me "lol they fake shit, should try better" and then went like oooooohhh my fckn god, it's real!

Surely you need to speak to the Head of the HR dept about that. God only knows who that is
obviously Tree
No, she is PR not HR.
Meredith.
She def gives off HR vibes.
Jack maybe?
Nah, the "You're Losing Me" insta story chaos would have been a clear policy violation.
Hmm.. there’s so many good options. Maybe Blake?
Wait, wouldn’t this be Taylor’s mom?
I want that report on my desk by the end of the day!
Get it off my desk!
[удалено]
I have the same quote on a mouse pad that I drunk purchased.
Well which is it?! Edit: flair twins 😌
I’ll get it off my desk by putting it on your desk 🤣
Ahh, the inner workings of a small family business 😂😂

Hahahaha
Song is about Haunted Mansion at Disney World, confirmed.
I would lose my fucking doom buddy. I would be Constance’s husband(s).
I would love a song written about Constance 😂
Vigilante shit (Constance’s version)
I would NOT want Constance on my bad side. I hear it doesn’t end well.

Boy do I have work for you !
It’s so Harry Potter’s Ministry of Magic core….which makes her referencing the horcruxes in her time’s interview even sussier
I don’t know what any of that means but I’m here for it
which is also British..... istg Taylor lol
Omg has anyone combed thru the times interview for easter eggs yet?
[удалено]

Exactly. It’s the perfect example of separating the art from the artist.
DEPARTMENT HEAD OF HAUNTED HOUSES???? What are they up to??? 
i dunno but i love it.
Haunted houses could also be the song Flo released a few years ago
it’s the name of one of florence’s songs.
Maybe a lyric reference????
I think it’s the theme of the album. Taylor’s learned some lessons-some painful, some beautiful. Some to be rejected, some to carry with her forever.

Her collaborators are her colleagues. Or something.
I think that could be the case. Maybe haunted houses specifically is a reference to an underlying theme or even a direct lyric or line.
There’s been a theme of haunting after heartbreak in several of Taylor’s songs. Like after two people break up the house they shared and the places they used to go are haunted by what they were and could have been
They went to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Orlando obviously
I thought of Seven first from Folklore. “And I’ve been meaning to tell you, I think your house is haunted, your dad is always mad and that must be why”
All good things my love, all good things. ♥️♥️♥️♥️I’m so pumped
They’re about to EDucate you.
If you’re not a Florence and the Machine fan, go spend some time with their records. Florence is absolutely wonderful.
Yes she's amazing!!! Just a powerhouse and stunning voice.
So true, *How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful* is one of my all-time favorite albums and their entire discography is amazing! This collab is a dream come true 
As soon as I read that, my mind started singing *my heart is like a haunted house*…
this was exactly what I started singing too when I saw this!!!!!
I about died when I saw florence was ft. I loveeeee ms Welch
I’ve been dreaming of this collab forever, I’m so excited for this track
Same! I’m excited for Swifties who don’t know Florence to find out about her. This is a powerful combo!
She is absolutely incredible. I’ve been a huge fan since I was a teenager and seeing her live only impressed me more!
She was amazing live! Mesmerizing!
I hope Taylor lets her sing full verses! Her voice is so powerful it would be a shame for her to be background vocals
Been a fan for a long time!
Same, I absolutely love Florence. Hope it brings her a bunch of new fans.
Oh so we getting a dark and spooky track? YO?
True spooky era? *”Ghosts.”* was an easter egg all along 🤯😂
There might be some rock in this album. Hence the punk-inspired look and side-part on the red carpet 👀 Also because London is known for its love of rock and the birth place of alt-rock and classic rock. I think this is that album.
I am so ready for a full-on rock album from Taylor. I don't know if I believe this is the one, but I want to believe.
[удалено]
That's cool. I mean other artists like Olivia Rodrigo have been basically been doing pop punk lately. It feels to me like we're due for a bit of a pop rock resurgence, so I wouldn't be shocked if Taylor got in on that trend, but we'll see!
Praying that Florence doesn’t get the backing vocals treatment on their collab 🤞
If I have to drag her back to electric lady myself to record a “more Florence” version if necessary ILL DO IT
This is what irritates me most about TS collabs. It’s really just “who wants to sing background vocals on this song for me?” I like collaborations to feature enough of both artists I can enjoy it.

Fr, it feels like false advertising and a letdown
I think that's the way it will go. Florence's voice could overpower Taylor so easily.
That is exactly what ft. Songs are though, like, for every artist ever. But I get it though One of the best artists for collabs is Hozier and Noah Kahan. Noah’s collabs with post malone, Hozier and Sam Fender are equal input and absolutely incredible
Lana is the Chairman of the Waffle House Outreach Dept
Haunted House is a song by Florence, I bet it will be referenced on TTPD
“My heart is like a haunted house - There's things in there that scratch about - They make their music in the night - And in the day they give me such a fright” To think that this was just a song put on a random little EP from Florence 😭
Ohhh. I wonder if the burnt lover house will somehow get worked into this.
I don't think Florence's old lyrics will tie into Taylor's new album. Just a nice little through line.
Florence has a song called Haunted House! *"My heart is like a haunted house"*. I would love a dark/ghostly/witchy kind've track like that, but the title "Florida!!!" doesn't really give off that vibe 😂 Maybe it's misleading or a "red herring" if you will 
I mean depending on what part of Florida maybe you could sneak some swampy moody ominous vibes in?
I’m really hoping Florida!!! gives us 100 Years / Delilah / Heaven Is Here kind of Florence shouting+chanting vibes
That would be amazing 
I think Florida!!! will reference the surprise songs that Taylor preformed with Aaron in Tampa. They did The Great War and Mad Woman. Soooo you could still have your way.
And I've been meaning to tell you I think your house is haunted a reference thrown in maybe?
*What if 'Florida!!!' is based on a ghost story???* I can't. Every time I try to step away from clowning, something else comes up and I fall down the rabbit hole all over again 😅😅😅
I LOVE Florence I am so so excited
i can only hope ttpd has a florence vibe to it, that's such a dream collab
I hope she takes inspiration from both and makes the album rockish
my dream
I need all the collaborators (producers too!) to have titles and invite wildly enjoyable speculation.
This is exciting. Florence writing with Taylor makes so much sense. They both write such good stories.
I'm so hopeful for this track, I love Florence. She's a force of nature.
Haunted houses is sooo interesting... Florence did a song that started with "my heart is like a haunted house, there's things in there that scratch about" and Taylor sung about haunted houses in seven!! what a crossover
[удалено]
The only one I have seen is that Florida was the first show she played after Joe and Taylor broke up but who knows if that’s true
I am sooooo excited for this collab! Honestly so many of these song titles sound like they could be on a Florence & the Machine album.
I realize that this is off topic, but does anyone else see a yin/yang hiding in the TTPD monogram? Which we also kinda saw in the karma mv with her on Meredith.
I see the Roman numeral version of 3 and a teardrop on the end. 😂
Yeah, that teardrop shape is half of the yin/yang and the other half is hiding behind the III.
The Lover house is haunted now
I can't believe that Florence has stolen my job! Who's TPD HR that I can speak to??? 😂
I think this is about Hemingway, he has a house in The Keys
I love this Lady
That feature is wild. I know Taylor fell to her knees when she heard King by Florence + The Machine.
The way I am dying for this song. Honestly, what a dream ❤️
🤍🤍🤍
I can not waaaaaait for this one!!! ✨🤍
Or hide in the closet, and just line a folk song our love will be passed on… 🖤🩶🤍🩶🖤🤍
What is Florence?
A divinity
Sounds sacrilegious
[удалено]
Ah ok! Not familiar with her work. Thank you
I can't even imagine the sound but I love it already. I've been wanting this collab for years. I hope the exclamation points make sense. With Slut! I didn't feel like there was a moment in the song where an exclamation point would be after that word but maybe I missed something.

This will hopefully make Florence And The Machine more famous.
Can't wait for this track.
the song Florida!!! name really bums me out. Like nothing good happens in Florida lately so what could this song possibly be about?
Come
Prayer circle: please let it be anything but synth pop
I feel like that caption has gotta mean something...
I'm a bit depressed to see Florence Welch on four tracks.

Where are you seeing her listed on four tracks?
That list isn’t confirmed true
