Taylor's Book?
So a friend of the pod dropped an email from a publisher off in the discord a couple weeks ago and we've been privately speculating that it's a Taylor project since then.
Details of the email include:
A book is coming. It will be released on July 9th and announced officially on June 13th. The hardcover will cost $45 and they think it'll sell a million copies quickly and then will print more. It's 544 pages (5+4+4=13).
It is a "fun, celebratory memoir for a younger millennial and gen z audience with global appeal. It will have massive publicity."
They compare it to Matthew Perry's memoir and Spare by Prince Harry in terms of how much they think it'll sell.
Last night Taylor announced Speak Now which of course is SELF WRITTEN and in the announcement said DEAR READER and mentioned July 9th.
It's also worth mentioning that July 9th is a Sunday and it's VERY unusual for books to come out on anything other than a Tuesday. From the friend of the pod:
1. it's weird like it never ever happens. I think HP on the weekends for midnight release parties is the last time I remember books launching outside of a Tuesday
2. this is because the NYT bestseller list reporting closes each week on Tuesday. launching something not on a Tuesday means they think it will sell enough copies to hit the NYT Bestseller list before even being out for a whole week
But of course, Taylor is such a weirdo about dates and July 9th is one of "her dates" so the release could make sense. And of course, Taylor knows she will wreck the bestseller list and doesn't have to worry about needing any cushioning for that.
You guys know I'm not one for clowning but I am in full makeup and clown shoes right now. I am not always the one to make bold predictions and who's to say for sure if this mystery book is a Taylor memoir and that her Speak Now announcement included hints about it but that is where I'm at right now.
No idea if she'll come out in it or not I'm not getting my hopes up for that but like we said after Toe broke up... all bets are OFF. (She does mention the word pride in her announcement...)
