And how many variants of those 10 albums?

She has given me the permanent ick. I used to love her prior to Midnights and she has just gotten tackier since then. 

She is no longer an artist - Taylor Swift is a (republican) billionaire corporation with no integrity and a skill for manipulation.

Yes, I'll know who my friends are. Those who show up with this shitty ass Christmas present are the ones I'll be cutting ties with

Actually eleven vinyls.

Four albums and the rest are variants.

Anyways I did some research online and evermore without bundles and billions variants sold 329K copies first week and 165K copies second week. Says a lot about how she depends on these cheap tactics to inflate her numbers

tloas did 522k from streaming alone with only 12 tracks while most artists can't even make half of it with physical copies.

i get it goes towards album sales but girl... ornaments, wrapping paper, figurines, so many fun ways you could make money instead

well.. I checked and she does have ornaments already lmao some of them are cute but not $25 worth for moi. I am so frugal with merch

Genuinely great question. I often find myself wondering how greed comes so easily to some people.

Despite the apparent common knowledge, greed is inherently antisocial and inhuman so Taylor is yet another loathsome creature, a parasite suckling on capitalism's teet  

Far from the worst offender but an offender nonetheless  

"NEW very limited-run"

Ok, snake  

Your manufacted scarcity means nothing when consumers realize there are as many of these made as you sell, "limited" is a lie meant to manipulate and abuse your fans

I'm lowkey high but I stand by this  

Her fans should get high more often and maybe that would help them realize this bullshit... I didn't even feel the need to get the MAYHEM variants/all of them, I got one I liked and that was it. Plus, once an album is released you don't need to keep prolonging the hype by pulling this.

It gives such "pick-me" energy and that poor woman is clearly already having a hard time realizing monumental success is finite and she is clearly scared of not being on top of the charts/world for the rest of time. And that alone is such a greedy goal, and I can't fathom feeling proud when you've essentially cheated your way into the top of charts by playing with your fans that way and having to constantly keep releasing stuff. Its like she knows her albums really do have a short shelf life lol.  I'd feel sorry for her if I was capable of more empathy I guess.

I've never liked her and so seeing all the stuff people are now saying is like when everyone finally starts catching onto the reason you've never liked someone.

Is she like.... okay??? lol especially with rising costs of everything I don't understand the blatant greed when she knows people are gonna bankrupt themselves for this ****. 

 

The faster the Swifties bankrupt themselves, the better  Maybe one day they'll stop mass buying all these. She's scamming them (mostly with the variants including voice memos lol) and they keep buying

Including these three we now have 11 vinyl variants of TLOAS.

Mayhem also has like 10 different vinyl variants. Yes, the marketing is different, but the absolute amount of variants is nothing special. TwentyOne Pilots had 21 vinyl variants by release week...

I just ever understood the appeal of collecting/buying ALL variants and why artists have to make so many. Like, a standard vinyl, and alternate cover, and a picture-disc/some cool vinyl are the only ones necessary and then people could just get the one they want and all 3 if they are so horny for it. But I guess knowing vinyls are just collected and displayed gives reason for artists to do it, and also merch is how they make money. It just seems excessive and as if you'd wanna put out different kinds of merch to make money. But the cost of merch anywhere is so excessive.. lol nothing below $20 it seems, and that will get you a sticker
