Damn. I legit thought the thread title was a joke. 10 is a bit much. 

[Tinnitus15 48,759]

And some of you cried cuz of Taylor’s 4 variants 

[Rhiannon 1,365]

Not even a different cover for each edition 

 

This is tragic  

 

We, the consumers, are trully taken for cash cows and this is sad

Okay? by that metric, Dua's album has the cassette, lenticular CD and regular CD so it's 13. 

CD, vinyl and cassette are different markets so it makes sense that Taylor put each of the 4 editions on all formats. Each edition has unique content, visually and with the bonus tracks. She's not just slapping the exact same record on every humanly possible color of PVC

Taylor also has Target exclusive so it's 13 and Dua doesn't have regular CD, only lenticular

Dua fans can just choose the color they like the most, while Taylor fans have to buy multiple versions to get 1 bonus song.

I blame Taylor for these type of scams, she made them popular

Dua's fans get the same songs on each variant, Taylor's fans have different songs on each variant

I mean for me Taylor’s doing it better. If you have different variants at least put smth new. Not like Dua 

[Chesescake 3,407]

Might as well just make some alternative covers.

[Juanjo 1,254]

Girl gotta ge them numbers, but this is getting out of hand. Also, are these 180 gram? I highly doubt it, since color vinyl usually isn’t. 😭 Is there a standard, black, 180 gram version, for people who actually care about/listen to vinyl? 

[Ricardo 7,653]

I mean you don't have to buy every color right? I don't see the problem 

[Schizophonic 5,270]

So u buy one variant and still have all the content and „all“ artworks.

 

better than u need to buy 4 to have all the music.

But fans really don’t need to buy any more than one edition in this scenario to own all the songs, it’s solely a cosmetic and collector choice at this point. That’s why you can’t give Ariana, Olivia, etc. flack either. Taylor’s fans had to buy four different versions if they wanna own every song from their fave’s new album
