I know there were different vinyls but idk, changing the cover itself to create this kind of false regional exclusivity feels cheap and greedy no matter who does it. Guess that's just the business now though. Just saying...there's an awful lot of people who were dragging Taylor for doing this exact thing who are now scrambling to find out how they can get their hands on a low effort fuzzy pic with a colorful vinyl inside Lemme take my negativity to private spaces, I know collectors don't have time for me to be on my soapbox nostalgic for a time when artists made music just to make music I'm just like 🧍♂️ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm obviously happy with +20 new songs from the girl who releases new music every 5 years 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of these are so good WHY are they all alternates Expand because none of these are main cover worthy. Can you imagine this one on a Billboard on Times Square or wherever ? People wouldn't know it's her, would think she became old and lame af, and would NOT bat an eye. They're not fit to represent a whole era imo. Even tho the original cover is simple, I still prefer it over these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melodean 8,242 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I WISH there was an option on streaming platforms to be able to change the album art to any official cover https://open.spotify.com/track/7q1GGm2mBlC9hPWige0C6e?si=6b5319d0e3b44fa6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 108,696 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 And just to make it clear These 2 variants are Australian exclusive and 2 more are UK exclusive so they will have absolutely 0 boost to her chart position in the US Billboard chart. While Taylor focused her variants almost exclusively on the US Billboard charts. His fart felt like a kiss 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
