I hope they pull something like the Emmys that’s really creative of them to make that work and even get interns to come to each nominees’ houses so the eventual winner can be given the Emmy live at their home.

1. Folklore, Taylor Swift
Folklore is best listened to alone, on a long walk at sunset, as the wind picks up and the memories and feelings rush in. You have to presume that was Swift’s intention. After exploring the upper reaches of pop maximalism on her recent projects, she makes a powerful about-face on Folklore, an album that’s as much an experiment with emotional delicacy as it is a lush take on the intersection of folksy storytelling and contemporary pop. Swift has been a public figure for well over a decade, but never before has she sounded so consistently vulnerable, so at home in her voice and so willing to play with sounds: hypnotic string plucks, angelic chorus hums, the unexpected gruffness of Bon Iver’s vocals on “Exile.” Her lyrics, meanwhile, are sharp and tinged with layered bittersweetness. Some trade on the nostalgia of adolescence, others on an imagined American mythology, but the best offer hazy, intimate glimpses into the messiness of relationships and their frayed endings: “I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace,” she sings on “My Tears Ricochet.” “No other sadness in the world would do,” she laments on “Hoax.” Folklore is Swift finding the beauty—and pop power—in stillness and reflection. Perhaps that’s the most we could hope to achieve in quarantine.—RB

I love how she doesn’t really have to do that much promo. She is doing a lot less but only the stuff that is truly worth it. I mean the Paul McCartney magazine was a big deal, this new movie is getting amazing reviews, Spotify numbers are going up, and she is likely to reenter the top 10 again for maybe a few more weeks. She is doing basically everything right!!

#7 YAY!FYC: future nostalgia, Sawayama, Hollywood’s bleeding
folklore Billboard 200 predictions (HitsDD)
#7 folklore (+23)
38,901 units (+105%)
folklore is rising on the Billboard 200 this week due to the folklore Target vinyl being released, Grammy nominations buzz, and partial buzz from the Disney+ folklore special which will also be reflected next week. It is not clear if the new deluxe version that features the live versions are counted here (or if it’ll chart by itself.) I think we could go to #6 once everything is said and one. Also she is the highest charting AOTY Grammy nominee. Future Nostalgia rises to #47 this week (up 11%) after Grammys buzz and the continued momentum of Levitating.
Folklore is rising to 1.897.000 units. Only 103k for x2 Platinum in US. Let’s get the plaque before the end of final voting.
The way Taylor elevated the three songs I enjoyed the least: my tears ricochet, seven and hoax. What a legend!

I think Billboard units are slightly lower than RIAA units so maybe it already is eligible
