I don’t see whats wrong with this… 

Maybe because she's basically scamming her fans and inflating her numbers by 4?

You might say fans are not forced to buy it but you know damn well that fans want to have access to all the tracks. And instead of releasing 1 standard version and 1 deluxe version she's releasing countless versions so fans buy again and again and pay the price of a full album for 1 additional song.

Why y’all lashing out on taylor when rina’s hold the girl had more than 15 variants, and olivia’s guts had more than 10 and many more artists and their albums… 

at least taylor is releasing new songs in them and it’s not JUST a different cover or a different colored vinyl :ohwell:

I’m a Taylor fan!! I love her. But this “variants” seems super lazy and basic  to me. Im Not judging fans for buying them, I personally won’t get any vinyl this time. I just wish the art work or the variants where more exciting or cool, they are meh

I'm not a massive critic of multiple vinyl variants just because I understand the variances in vinyl record owners' tastes etc 

But this is the laziest roll out yet by anyone. 
3 variants now, no guarantee of the ltd ed track being purely containted to the edition. All a shade of the same bland colour. Meh album art. A
And if the previous roll outs are the standard for this one - the "ltd edition" thing is a cheap selling tactic and a week or so before release every single variant will be made available online and at *all* outlets. 

This is pure vulture capitalism at its finest. I'm surprised there's no digitally printed T.S. signature edition yet. 
That said, her prices aren't showing the same level of profiteering on vinyl's resurrgence other acts have been doing so for anyone looking to buy a single copy of the album they are better off compared to fans of other acts are atm.

I do agree with the covers issue not gonna lie. 1989 alternative covers were good but these ones are boring for sure :franminervini:

exploitation of fan loyalty

I'm not even her fan but she's just being a smart businesswoman. It's her fans who need to question their values in their lives.

She really wants to break Adele’s record at the expense of her fans.This is just pure greed and capitalism.Her obsession with numbers is really scary at this point.

I just checked the swiftie reddit and they are pissed.

She’s currently the most successful artist in the world and she’s using the same photographer, same producer and same art direction since 2019. It’s just getting boring to me. I hope she shakes things up for the next album

Variants that are purely visuals are one thing. When each variant has a unique song that is not part of the other album variants in addition to the visuals, that is when I have a problem.

There are now 4 versions with 4 different tracklists for this album.

She does not need this ****. She is on top. Why pinch out sales from your fans for this album this way?

Listen I love TS, but b*tch how about a single? This is just so transparent and not about the artistry

Lol this is so messy but who am I kidding. I’d have loved if Gaga did this with ARTPOP and released Tea, Temple, Brooklyn Nights as bonus tracks too.

I love her but she is going to end up becoming known as Taylor Alison the con artist I fear. Anyway I won’t be buying :vegas:
