In the same way that you can go on Instagram and figure out what your high school friends are up to right now, so can we as regards any topic or event in the news.
The Debate About Thursday Night Football
As mentioned, one of the main reasons why Taylor Swift decided to release her album on November 10 instead of some other date is because of the ongoing debate about whether or not to continue broadcasting these Thursday Night Football games. And even though this is an issue that has been debated for quite some time now, it is gaining much more traction and importance in the past few weeks. The issue revolves around the players’ health, as many of them get severely injured during the games. To make things worse, the games are played on Thursdays and are broadcasted on both cable and regular TV. That means that millions of kids are watching them, which is problematic because the games are really violent. The controversy is such that it has even prompted the President of the United States to take a stand and state his opinion on the matter. And, as one can imagine, he is not in favor of continuing to broadcast these games.
Taylor Swift and Reputation: What We Know So Far
Although Taylor Swift is yet to release any details about the new album and has not commented on the release date controversy, fans have kept a close watch on all the happenings around her. And with all the buzz around the release date, they have come up with quite a lot of theories as to why Taylor decided to release her album on November 10. One of them is that this will be the first time that an artist releases an album on a Thursday since the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s album came out the same week in 1967. Another theory is that the release date has been strategically selected to coincide with the NFL’s Thursday Night Football games. And the reason for that is that this controversy about whether or not to continue broadcasting these games will be more important than ever around that time. As per this theory, releasing her album on the same day that the NFL games are to be broadcasted would either force the league to change the date of the games or risk having millions of fans tune in to hear Taylor’s songs instead and thus harming their ratings.
Taylor Swift’s Reputation: Why It’s Important To Her Brand
If this theory is correct, then releasing the album on November 10 is a very smart move on Taylor’s part and proves that she is very aware of the state of affairs in the world right now. Because the album’s title, Reputation, indicates that she is in fact very aware of everything that is going on and is using it to her advantage. First of all, there is the fact that the word reputation is a very powerful word. It is something that everyone cares about, regardless of what they do in life or what they are trying to achieve. Everyone from the President of the United States to a small business owner in a small town somewhere is interested in having a good reputation. And if they don’t, they are often keen on improving it. And this has been proven by a study that was published earlier this year by Michigan State University, stating that people who care about their reputation are more likely to behave ethically. So, by naming her new album Reputation, Taylor is basically saying that she cares about her reputation and wants to be seen as an ethical artist.
Bottom Line: How Taylor Swift and the NFL Are Connected
And since the main controversy surrounding the NFL is whether or not to continue broadcasting the Thursday Night Football games, releasing her album on November 10 is a move that actually connects Taylor with the NFL in a very significant way. Because if this theory is correct and she aims to gain some leverage against the NFL by broadcasting her album on the same day that they are supposed to have their games, then Taylor will be visually connected with the NFL. And that is a good thing because as is proved by studies, people tend to like brands that are visually connected with other brands they like. So by releasing her album on November 10, Taylor Swift will become connected with the NFL, and thus a much more attractive brand for her fans, especially kids. And in the process, she will also be sending the message that she cares about her reputation as an ethical artist.
Conclusion
As is proved by the article above, there are several reasons why Thursday Night Football is vital to Taylor Swift’s new album. And while we can only speculate as to whether or not this controversy will actually force the NFL to change the date of the games, one thing is certain: It is a significant date for Taylor and her fans. And one thing is certain: It is a very important date for Taylor and her fans. And if you are a fan of Taylor Swift’s music, then you will probably want to mark November 10 on your calendar, because that is the day when her new album Reputation is due to be released.
