Nah, she’s not going anywhere. If anything, I think folklore was an experiment for her. To see if she could leave the industry games and rollouts behind and pull an Adele. I don’t think she ever intends to quit music, but she will quit the media circus that is/can be the industry. Beyonce and Adele are proof that you can be powerhouses in the industry, releasing successful projects, without playing the game. Privacy IS possible. Taylor is still very early on in this “private life” thing. Three years of privacy is relatively short considering how long she has very publicly lived her life. It will only get more private as people realize oh, ok. This is new Taylor. This isn’t just a phase. We aren’t going to see every aspect of her life. Intense scrutiny will end. Intrusive speculation will end. People will adjust to her “new normal.” She’s in her “experimentation” phase of her career. She will play with new sounds, new methods of release, and will start to put out projects that don’t demand as much media attention.
