So I wanted to show you something. Okay. What do we got? We got a briefcase. Yep. Mitt Green with TS on it. Yep. What's in it?

This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl. TS12. Now, ladies and gentlemen, that was the Big Tea, not the other one, but the real big tea in the land. As you already know, when it comes to champion somebody as the biggest gangster in the music industry, we already know that Taylor Swift is one of them. But then you know what that being said, ultimately putting respect on Taylor Swift's name is going to happen on this podcast for the foreseeable future.

As you already know, when it comes to the notorious mass effect, you see the banner that I use and then who is that over in the top left? Analytic Dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because right now I'm currently showing my banner which has Taylor Swift on it as far as the notorious mass effect now ultimately the reason why I showed you that is because putting respect on Taylor Swift's name is something that has to happen because if you don't know Taylor Swift dominating why I say dominated I mean ultimately dropped all type of bombs on the music industry as far as the top artists four times in a row and then the the the torture

Poets Department topping Billboard 200 for 17 weeks straight and then of course you have 2.6 million units sold the decades the decade the decades biggest debut and then of course she placed 11 albums on Billboard 200 with 1989 the Taylor's version and torture Poets department at number one and number two and then ultimately Taylor Swift won 10 Billboard Music Awards, which I think is the most objective award show as far as gauging consumption amongst the musicians in the industry. So ultimately, when we get into Taylor Swift, she's dropping all type of bombs left and right. And when you look at it in 2025, she hasn't been as active. But obviously that doesn't matter as she still has not one, not two, but three albums.

I mean, not singles, albums in the top 50. So when it comes to the tortured poets department, that is currently her second most popular album currently, as is the 27th most played album in the world. And then you have folklore, which is the 26 most played album in the world. And then, of course, you have her album lover,

which is currently the 50th most played album in the world. Now, of course, the reason why I go over all those numbers is because she just announced a new album, as you just heard with the Travis and Jason Kelsey Pott. I think it's, well, now I think it's called New Heights. So as far as that podcast, she essentially announced her 12th album since debuting in 2006 and her title is the life of a showgirl. Now, with that being said, you already know she did not give a release date because best believe she is going to drop on whoever she deems is the biggest competition in the music industry, right?

Morgan Wallin currently in 2025 is putting BTA on the whole music industry. K-pop demon hunters is playing up some of the most phenomenal numbers we've seen on the soundtrack since Disney's Encanto. As far as other albums, the more newer as far as in the top five. But those are the

albums that's had some stand power, which lets you know those are the real projects that are basically driving, engaging in the masses to a point where now that is unequivocally, some of the most successful projects from an analytical standpoint that we've seen in quite some time. Because of course, I gauge consumption.

But at the end of the day, I have to repeat the fact that just because you sell a lot does not mean you make the highest quality. And just because you don't sell anything does not mean you make an absolute garbage. The two do not correlate. Sometimes it does. With Taylor Swift, I would like to think that the quality is at a level that the engagement and consumption equivalates to. So I think it's a correlation with Taylor Swift.

with as far as quality and consumption because I think she makes high quality music. Now, with that being said, with this 12th album and especially debuting the project and announcing the project's name, announcing what it looks like on her boyfriend's podcast and of course his brother, Jason Kelsey's podcast, this is coming out tomorrow, I believe. Yeah, the full reveal is expected during the New Heights episode, August 13th, 7th,000. p.m. Eastern time as far as Eastern Standard time, as far as the huge Taylor Swift fans that want to be there as soon as it drops. But you can, as you can see right here, as far as her announcement, well, as far as the podcast platform, essentially, you can go to Taylor Swift.com to pre-order. It literally says pre-order

now at Taylor Swift.com. I ain't never seen pre-pro order on my life, but I'm just assuming that means you get the album saved before it comes out officially. So with that being said, with the album title, The Life of a Showgirl, Taylor Swift is continuing her streak of just complete fire album titles. And of course, y'all going to say I'm glazing, but so what? You guys. See, that's the problem. So sometimes you just have to give it up as far as talking about the ghosts and showcasing how if you put up phenomenal numbers and needs to be respected amongst the masses because if you're going to get into an art form where you're trying to market and you're trying to roll out your material safe to say it would behoove you yes i said behoove 25 gone on 80 right

here it will behoove you to ultimately look at the top impactors of the masses as far as in your field and look at how they roll out certain material right you would think that oh her boyfriend's podcast is the only reason they acquired this reveal. Well, I would say that maybe Taylor Swift was a little, I'm not going to say Kardashian-esque, but she was definitely knowing who she was getting involved with because, of course, Jason and Travis, and I'm looking at the page right now, the podcast page,

so Analytic Dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. Jason and Travis Kelsey's podcast have had everybody who's an A-lister on their podcast. As you can see right here, you see LeBron, And then as you can see right here, you have Caitlin Clark. I mean, those two in general. There's a reason why they pin Taylor Swift, LeBron, and Caitlin at the top. They're letting you know we've been doing this as far as super A-list guest, right? So Jason, Travis must have huge respect in the industry already, especially with the podcast, to have not only them, but if we scroll down a little bit, you see Patrick Mahomes.

So now you have to go to NBA. I wouldn't say the go of WMBA, but you. you know, as far as analytical and consumption, Caitlin Clark is the goat when it comes to that in the NBA. Patrick Mahomes, arguably the goat in the NFL right there. You're already shooting for the top. So now, who else could you get as far as the go of the respective platform? Ladies and gentlemen, Taylor Swift.

You? Yes, I know. It's the color of your eyes, sweetie. That's why we match. So wow. We're about to do a podcast. So that's essentially the second promo clip they put up for Taylor Swift. So as you can see right here, such a nice color on you. Yes. She out here just flirting

obvious, just being a straight extrovert as far as showcasing her love for Travis Kelsey. Now, ultimately, when it comes to that, you know, that's a whole other discussion as far as who Travis Kelsey was with versus who he's with now. And that's more for the Red Peele conversation or the relationship type podcast. I focus on straight music. It's just that she did so happen to review or she just so happened to put up her album reveal on her boyfriend's podcast. But like I just showcased, the podcast holds a lot of esteem as far as certain guests. Now, when it comes to being a guest-based podcast, they basically had the cream of the crop.

So now I'm interested to see who else they could get as far as the goat of the respective craft, right? And I'm talking about goat from just a straight analytical perspective. And then in some cases, a quality standpoint. because like I just said earlier, it doesn't correlate all the time. But some of the other information as far as this particular album, the artwork was blurred in the teaser. So I would assume that the full reveal will come on the episode, once again, August 13th, 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. And with that being said, I would say that there's definitely going to be vinyl.

I mean, Taylor Swift is like the king of selling vinals. For some reason, Taylor Swift and her fan base prefers the vans. vinals to play in their respective house apartment dorm you never know so they prefer the vinals when it comes to the torture poets department already talk about how that was a phenomenal success on the charts and how it was 17 weeks at number one six time platinum as far as r i double a certification safe to say that taylor swift is one of the more lucrative artist you can ever get on any platform right her tour as far as the errors tour grossed $2.2 billion.

$2.2 billion over two years and five continents' highest grossing tour in history. So like I keep saying, the big T, not the little one, dropping bombs everywhere. As far as analytical success, she has that. As far as qualities, in my opinion, I feel like she puts out high quality music

to the point where y'all think I'm joking, but I have a whole playlist where I like to listen to up-to-day music of like what came out this particular year. So I have a playlist which you can, you know, shameless plug on my link tree. I literally have a spot at the bottom that says what I'm listening to. So you can already know there's no cap in my rap. If you go to Fresh Fire 2024, type in Taylor Swift, guess what? All type of tracks are popping up.

Some of my favorite tracks from the Torture Poets Department as you was probably thinking to yourself. This is the perfect demo to figure out what was his favorite tracks off of the album. Because guess what? I'm probably not the first demo. or demographic that she thinks of targeting. So, you know, I'm pretty sure this is great research data for somebody in her camp. So anyways, I actually, I actively listen to the Torture Poets Department. I really enjoy it to the point where my favorite tracks off of that album is down bad,

the smallest man who ever lived. I'm going to get you back. I'm not going to live. I really like that chorus. I'm not, you know what I'm saying? I may get my rap card taken for this whole review for Taylor Swift's past album. But guess what? I liked it.

I'm going to get you back as a phenomenal chorus, in my opinion. And then So High School, those are my four favorite tracks off of the album. Like I said, I like the track. I like the album in this entirety. But of course, those are my favorite tracks off of the project. So I'm definitely not Swifty. You know what I'm saying? I feel like in general, my favorite artist is still Drake.

It would forever be Drake. You know what I mean? I pause, you know what I have to. You guys. See, that's the problem. But ultimately, I put a lot of respect on people who have perfected the marketing rollouts for their respective craft. Because, you know, with me being in more of the marketing lane, as far as realizing people marketing strategies and disseminating it to the public, I really like pinpointing and highlighting the ones that have obviously worked.

If you say that the marketing strategy for Taylor Swift and for Drake hasn't worked, then, you know, you're just a hater. That's it. You know, you're just a hater. No long, drawn-out explanation. You're just a hater. So with that being said, it was something else for Taylor Swift. She had a huge milestone as when it comes to May 2025, she announced that she purchased her full recording catalog from Shamrock Capital, originally via the big machine squatterbron, and then now was at Shamrock. And then so she bought it from, she bought her full catalog from Shamrock.

And this is her first new project since regaining complete ownership of her music. So as far as that, in music industry and ownership, got to drop a bomb. for that one because when you look at it not a lot of artists are out here just owning their music in the landscape because of the way that major conglomerates are set to make lifelong and a multiple lifelong money off of your catalog which is why when you sell it to them they give a ginormous front because the whole brand is going to outlive a single person right that's why they pay so much at the beginning for your rights so anyways that's basically you know i could go on forever as far as just giving Taylor Swift her kudos and her, oh, my fall, I played it again.

I could go on forever as far as giving Taylor Swift her kudos and just highlighting how she's just consistently dominated the music industry. The same praise I give for Drake is the same type of praise I have for Taylor Swift. So ultimately, with that being said, August 13th is the date to remember 7 p.m. Eastern State. What, is it p.m? Let me make sure. I don't want people mad at me. Yeah. August 13th, 7 p.m. Easter standard time is when she's going to reveal the cover and probably more details about the album as them highlighting it like them highlighting it like this essentially showcased that her interview is going to have a little bit of her new album details in it. So with that being said, click my link tree in my bio. Let me know one of my social media is. What do you think about the big T showcasing her new album artwork and a blurred image?

And obviously, are you going to be checking out the full. new heights episode featuring Taylor Swift when it comes out August 13th 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
