Do you actually listen to Taylor's version?

I really love Taylor and appreciate what she did with the re-releases to own the right of her music, but honestly I have never enjoyed these re-released songs at all because imo the original version of theirs were so much better and het voice fitted perfectly at the time. Plus I don't like the idea of remixing or rerecording a song, one flawless main studio version is enough for me. What do you think? Which version do you listen to when you look for an old Taylor song?

Taylor's Version, because all of the others are Stolen. Why listen to an artist's stolen art when they're giving you something objectively higher quality? Continuing to stream Stolen versions of her songs while Taylor's Version already exists is not a good practice and doesn't do anything to support Taylor, nor the hard working artists and talents that put together her productions.

I have been putting all the new songs, plus songs from the deluxe version of the og and the randos (TWAF, Ronan) into Side B’s, and keeping the ogs :ohwell:

I’m tired and angry but somebody should be

How is the quality objectively better when I genuinely prefer the ogs?

I don't stream music, I paid for her CDs, and I listen to the stuff I bought, to me the original version has higher quality. This thread is not about the practice or supporting whatever , just wondered which version you guys liked better

Because the file is a higher quality file, and your preference does not speak on the quality of the recordings. They're larger files. It's 2021. You truly think they had the ability to master things the way they are able to now, back in 2012? Or 2008? No.

They have been recorded in higher quality, Dolby, etc, it’s just facts. I find that I still prefer the sound of some of her OG recordings, but because I am a fan and appreciate her as an artist, I’m going to stand by her and I have swapped out every song I enjoy that she’s rereleased

Taylor's versions of course. They sound way better than the OG and the changes are minimal like someone said. Also, they are hers.

Kindness rules all.

nothing is flawless, habit is a huge factor. The old songs have flaws, the new ones have flaws. The more you listen to one version, the more used to it you get. I tend to listen to Taylor's Version because the quality of the mastering is better and ultimately even the tracks I preferred in their original form I end up getting used to in the new form as well. Plus it gives less money to Scooter Braun, so a win across the board.
