I'm being serious. She should teach a business class. She could record it once and her fans will pay to watch the same video 500 times apparently if she's in it lmao. Most fans don't. I'm a lifelong Taylor fan to the extent that everyone in my personal life knows me as such; I have one vinyl copy and one CD copy, both just being Target copies I picked up casually last night. The kind of Taylor fan that buys every single possible variant is a far rarer breed than you might expect, and an extremely small proportion of her sales figures. Those who do, I imagine it's more about having collectible items from an artist who honestly makes your favorite music, and a bit of a sense of community with other fans. I do think all people who are enthusiastic fans of music artists do take a little pride in their favorite artist's success, though. That's part of why sites like this are a thing in the first place. It's just cool to see something you love getting positive attention from a lot of other people, isn't it?
