DELICATE

summary: after an ongoing online scandal, you come out with a new album. during an interview, you talk about your inspo :)

warnings: this fic is an excuse to write this fic again that i made for joe since i wrote it months ago and for evan instead with reputation since i think its one of the best albums ever made! link to actual genius article for everyone :)

GENUIS!

“Three years after the release of their 2014 album, and following several public spats with celebrities, Y/N Y/L/N aims to clear their name and inaccurate public image on Reputation. At a fan event that took place in June 2018, Y/L/N described the record as a story of “finding love throughout all the noise,�� referring to how the album transitions from discussing her persona to falling in love with American actor Evan Peters.”

*VIDEO STARTS*

“Is this thing on?” you looked at the camera crew and laughed as they held up a thumbs up. “Hi! Im Y/N Y/L/N, I’m here with Genius and I’m here to talk about my new album, reputation.” you smiled at the camera. Evan, sitting alongside the crew, read out the cards they had handed him. “So, how many tracks are on the album?” he asked. “Well, theres fifteen tracks” “Can you list them out for us?” he smiled warmly.

“The album starts off with Ready For It, End Game featuring Ed Sheeran and Future, I Did Something Bad, Don’t Blame Me, Delicate, Look What You Made Me Do, So It Goes, Gorgeous, King Of My Heart, Dancing With Our Hands Tied, Dress, This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, Call It What You Want, and the album ends with New Years Day.” Evan softly smiled, reading off the next card. “Is there anything you can tell us about each track?”

You laughed softly, “So, Ready for it is pretty much just diving into what the rest of the albums gonna be like, referencing past songs, kinda lightly digging into the whole situations thats been happening for a while.” you quickly moved onto the next track.

“End Game is just about my reputation and how this effected my outside relationships. I did something bad is pretty much about the same thing, but its a more direct approach.” You took a glance over at Evan, a small smile painted across his face as you carefully explained each track.

"Delicate is about my current relationship, as is Don't Blame Me, I'd definitely say it's one of my more vulnerable tracks." You smiled at Evan, who was already smiling as you started explaining. "My reputation wasn't the best when we first met, which obviously lead to me questioning a lot of it at the start. I didn't think someone could love me in the way he does after everything was going down, it felt like the whole internet was against me but he loved me for who I am and not who I was painted out to be."

As you finished going through each track Evan's smile only grew wider. "What's your favourite track off the album?" You clapped excitedly before speaking. "That's a really hard one but right now I'd have to say either New Year's Day or Dress, both songs are special in terms of relationships." "Do you have a favorite lyric from them?"

You nodded, "For Dress I'd have to say the bridge-" You watched as Evan looked down and smiled before looking back up at you. "Because it really touches on another vulnerable thought I had for a long time. He saw the best in me in my worst time. And for New Years Day probably the bridge as-well for the same reason.

Evan carried on the interview, you wandered questions about the album before closing off. "Well, I'm Y/N Y/L/N and this was my genius interview! Make sure to listen to Reputation on all platforms." You waved at the camera with a small smile on your face before they cut.

You stood up from your chair as the crew around you started speaking. You walked over to Evan who had put the cards down and opened his arms for you to walk into. You wrapped your arms around him as he gently kissed your forehead. "So I'm your muse hmm?" You let out a laugh and nodded before gently kissing him letting out a soft 'mmhm' You looked at him before slightly tearing up. "Thank you for loving me" He smiled softly before tightening his grip on your waist, "I'll love you for the rest of my life."

A/N: hi friends! I decided to finish this because after hearing delicate live and seeing this in my drafts I needed to finish this so badly.. live laugh love taylor swift!

Starter's Guide to DIY Musicianship

Are you in a band with recorded music and unsure what to do next? Remember to treat your band as a business – make a plan, be professional and stay focused. Here’s a guide to help you get started!

I have personally used and back CDBaby. It’s a one-stop shop where you can have your material copyrighted and distributed to all major music purchasing and streaming sites. Click here for more information on what they do and how it will benefit you. Listen to their DIY Musician podcast to become a diy musician pro (I’m really just a podcast nerd and this is one of my favorites)!

Create social media sites:

Make Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube pages. Create a handle that is or encompasses your band name. Make sure you provide links that direct your fans to an iTunes, Spotify or Bandcamp page where they can purchase or stream your music.

Get a logo made:

It’s 2017. There’s no excuse for having an unprofessional looking social media page. Be sure to get a logo made. Check out Fiverr to get one made on the low. For this website and for my band’s logo, I went through user ajenxris. I’d suggest opting to pay the extra to get the source files, so you can altar the color schemes/sizes to better fit the designs you come up with for your digital content.

Create digital content:

Check out your favorite band’s Instagram, Twitter and Facebook profiles. Take note of what their posts looked like during their last single/album release. I don’t know who’s behind A Story Told’s instagram page, but they’re good at content creation and digital marketing. The posts pertaining to their album release consist of uniform color and font schemes, which correlate with the album cover. Keep in mind that you’ll want your imagery to reflect the sound of your music.

Canva is super easy to use to create profile pictures, headers and image posts. You can use their preselected dimensions for the graphic you’re making or input your own (see below). Upload a version of your logo that has a transparent background to add to your posts. Either create your content on a solid color/textured background that they provide you with or use royalty-free stock photos (pexels, unsplash, pixabay).

Twitter Banner – 1500px by 500px

Facebook Cover Photo – 828px by 315px

YouTube Channel Cover Photo – 2560px by 1440px

click this link for an in-depth guide to dimensions for all major social media platforms.

Create lyric videos with iMovie or Windows Movie Maker. This is something that you can search Fiverr for, but lyric videos aren’t hard to make, and it’s a good skill to have. Download some stock videos (pexels video) of landscapes, moving textures, bokeh, moving lights, whatever. If you use Final Cut Pro X, check out Ryan Nangle’s YouTube channel for inspiration, how-tos and some cool effects you can download for cheap or free. I’d suggest YouTube searching whichever program you’re using, followed by “diy lyric video tutorial,” or something along those lines. Create teasers or short versions of your lyric videos to post.

Get professional promo and live pictures taken:

Talk to your friends who are in bands and see what photographers they use, and hit one up. Whatever you do, don’t approach the situation as if you’re doing them a favor by “building their portfolio.“ Even if someone offers to take your pictures for free, throw them $20 or something. It takes hours between driving to locations, taking the pictures and editing them. Keep any watermarks on the photos and link your photographer’s instagram/facebook/twitter page (respectively) to show credit. Make sure your photographer is alright with you cropping and adding logos to any photos to use for promotional reasons (facebook/twitter banners, etc).

Create an EPK:

Keeping with the theme of being professional, take an hour or so to create an electronic press kit, or EPK. An EPK is a document that best showcases your band that you can send to promoters.

Create a file or webpage specifically for your EPK. Include a short biography, high-res pictures, links to your website/streamable music/social media accounts. Get some EPK inspo and in-depth explanations of what to include here and here.

Book a show:

Check out some local venues you’d like to play at and find their contact info for the promoter on their website, Facebook page or indieonthemove. Send them your EPK, and if you have any specific dates you’d like to play. Once you have a show booked, create some good lookin’ content on Canva to promote your show on your social media sites. Hustle and sell as many tickets as you’re able to – but be genuine and be careful not to come off like a used car salesman (no offense, used car salesmen).

Showtime:

Practice more than you think you need to, get to the venue at load-in time, thank the promoter, respect the sound guy/girl and high-five the other bands that are playing.

some tips:

Draw lines between songs on your set list where the vocalist is going to speak to the audience so the entire band is on the same page

Use earplugs so you can hear yourself and band a little better. I like to use Earasers.

Stay for all the bands to finish out their sets! It’s a respect thing. If you do it for them, they’ll do it for you. Sneak a granola bar in one of your cases if there’s over 4 bands playing, it’s easy to forget to eat and get hangry in the midst of packing a car, getting to the venue, playing and staying for a bunch of bands.

Look into getting some merch to sell at your shows. If I am digging an opener on a show, chances are I’ll buy a physical copy of their CD. Download cards for singles or albums are popular, which you can also get through CDBaby here.

After the show:

Sweet, you made it! Discuss high and low points of your set with your band and keep looking for ways to make your show better and more engaging for the audience. Keep on implementing the marketing strategies that worked for you and think of ways you can improve your posts to create more drive to your page and click-throughs to iTunes so you can generate some sales!
