I think the most unauthentic thing about these specific variants this time around is how she’s all about the availability and freedom of art and respecting the artist but is gatekeeping her fans from having the complete experience of the album unless they can afford to buy multiple copies lol

This. People are still frustrated that Love Me Right isn’t widely available and that was a very minimal case: available at both Target in the US and via one deluxe edition internationally AND announced in advance

yes, in selected territories to drives sales in that particular region and they're still very much for sale

these taylor albums are timed exclusives

To do what? Drive sales. Record Companies & artists wanting to maximize sales. Where‘s the huge difference?

Can I ask a stupid question? Why do fans buy all these albums, do the different versions not get uploaded to Spotify/Apple Music? Or are they purchase only?… I’m confused

because this an extreme version of that which preys on exploiting FOMO within the fans, they've taken the concept way too far

apples and oranges tbh

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 

Yeah, I mean, I have liked what she has released but I feel she really needs to try something new. It's also sad to see how 1989 and Speak Now TV's were impacted by this and not true to their original versions.

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. 

Yeah but she's announcing variants BEFORE THE LEAD, LIKE GIRL?

LG7? CANCELLED

She's still not making anyone do anything they don't want to do, though? The more interesting question is why are some fans so willing to spend so much money buying the same thing over and over again.

I think what is amiss that Taylor is starting to get criticized for is it’s a money grab and Mcdonaldization of her music, it’s just greedy consumerism. Taylor wants her fans to pay more to get all of her songs, It’s blatantly obvious and far from subtle. You can’t even buy a vinyl edition of Midnights with all the songs on it yet. 

No, she’s not making anyone buy the music, but she has so many young fans who are malleable enough to do it. For some it’s their allowance, their after school job money, their savings. No it’s not her responsibility for what fans buy, but she is making it obvious she’d rather horde that extra money from them.

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 say the opposite is true.

At least theirs were JUST different colours and cover, that doesn’t warrant multiple purchases. You pick your favourite one, or you seek out the rare finds. Vinyl has always been about that.

Different variants with different songs is so much more annoying. The point of an album is to have the songs, if you can’t get that without buying multiple, that’s egregious.
