But I'm co-signing this. At least she is making the effort to make the variants worthwhile with alternative covers and back-covers. I particularly find the Midnights clock to be truly imaginative.

Michael196 Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 the mfers at bb couldn't wait, they already did their usual bs with the vinyl record article The sales of 1989 (Taylor’s Version) are enhanced by its availability in 15 collectible physical formats: five color vinyl variants, eight CD editions and two cassette editions. Of the five vinyl variants, Target carries a color variant that includes one bonus track (“Sweeter Than Fiction”). The album is also available to buy in two digital download editions: a standard 21-song version and a deluxe 22-song version (which adds a re-recorded version of the album’s “Bad Blood,” featuring Kendrick Lamar). meanwhile, the rolling stones and this is all they had to say The album’s sales were enhanced by its availability across more than 30 vinyl variants (totaling 36,000 sold), two deluxe boxed sets (with either a branded shirt or a hat, plus a CD), a digipack CD, a CD/blu-ray box set and a standard CD and download album. 2

Starchild Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 3 hours ago, Cleanromantic said: It will never stop being weird to me how people only seem to care about variants when Taylor releases them. Like the selective outrage is so blatant and unhinged . Same as the private plane stuff, while it is the only thing she's ever done that she deserves to be dragged for, 99% of these drags are coming from people who don't give a crap about the environment and are only using it to target her. Like certain pockets of the internet legit act like she's single handedly destroying the galaxy all because they hate her . Anyways, Suburban Legends is a career highlight. thank you! I'm not going to take that dumb "cupcake swifties can't take criticism" post seriously, why is every other fanbase allowed to defend their favorite artist, buy all their 20 variants, cry about them on this forum, etc but swifties are the only ones that are "kissing Taylor's ass 24/7" for just.... liking her? That's the reason she has so much hate on here, because of fans like that that encourage she gets dragged for the dumbest crap imaginable. I like her because she ISN'T as shitty as other pop girls but to her fans she is apparently some awful person that shouldn't be "scamming her fans" (this one is particularly stupid sorry) or "using a jet at all" even tho every other celebrity does. These people are just as annoying as the"cupcakes" they complain about because at least cupcakes don't give into the hate she gets simply to look like some martyr 3
Peak Now Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 I agree, the need for certain people to prove that they don't like Taylor Alison Swift, but they just happen to like her music a lot is just weird. I suspect it's low self-esteem. 4
Kyle-x Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 I like collecting the different variants (if they have different covers mostly). She's actually pretty conservative as far as variants go. Even folklore, which had the most, doesn't hold a candle to 70% of the other artists on major labels' variants. Then you have Lover, evermore, Fearless TV, Red TV and Speak Now TV which only had 1 single cover and 1-3 colored vinyl record variants. The people that go crazy about her doing it puzzles me, like they must have 0 context of what the current landscape is. She really could be exploiting the market 5x as much as she currently is, but with how frequently she's releasing I think her team has done a good job of picking which releases to go hard for as to not oversaturate the market. Her merch drops can be a little eye-roll worthy but I don't think they produce mass quantities of them that just sit there. I think most of the time they do a pre-order window and make a little more than what the demand is based on existing orders. With how popular she is, it's not like she could do limited edition small sustainable drops using local artisans or something without the price being like $150 for 1 t-shirt which would get her skulldragged even further dddd. Ariana is another one of my fave artists, but her team has been e-mailing me about new nostalgia merch drops what feels like every other month and she's not even been in an era in years. I don't see the heat for her.

People were extremely excited about that title and made up theories about the song being a mega-banger like Blank Space or even a straight up sexual song. It's not Taylor's fault that you guys made up those theories in your heads and hyped yourselves up that much just to be disappointed. I've said it before many times: NEVER judge a song by its title, it doesn't mean anything I mean many people already decided the song was gonna be bad the very moment they learned it was a ballad, even before they actually listened to it. That says it all really. 1. Taylor was the one who hyped up the vaults and called them "insane" 2. Taylor was the one who added the exclamation mark in the title "Slvt!", which was misleading because it wasn't a shouty upbeat song at all 3. Taylor was the one who purposefully left out "Slvt!" in the Google vault track reveal and had its own vault video for it on Instagram, having special treatment compared to the other ones 4. "Slvt!" was released as a standalone single on iTunes right when the album dropped I love "Slvt!" and that song has become my second fav 1989 vault track, but what you said is very wrong.

Kyle-x Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 SIut! going viral on Tik Tok too this vault was tailor made to smash
fra Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 Lately miss Swift's been writing history like it's her diary 2
Peak Now Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 No promo no MV just pure talent Spoiler and with a single choice that was shipped back... but we don't talk about that 5
siegetheday Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 Holy ****. Taylor just keeps making history. She is just... incredible.

(Notably, Swift did not offer an autographed edition of the new album to purchase, as she did in time for the first weeks of her last three No. 1s: Speak Now [Taylor’s Version], Midnights and Red [Taylor’s Version]. Signed editions of her albums are a major sales driver.) slamming words together just to add length to the article and making **** up in the process that Halsey tweet, but switch p4k for bb... anyway... 1989TV vs Midnights SPS: 1.653M - 1.578M Pure: 1.359M - 1.140M Vinyl: 693k - 575k CDs: 554k - 395k digital sales: 112k - 161k Streams: 375M - 549M 1989TV vs 1989 Pure: 1.359M - 1.287M CDs: 554k - 647k digital sales: 112k - 640k 1
jaredtbh Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 Now That We Don't Talk started off as my favorite vault track but now it's Suburban Legends. It's so single worthy.
