C_Colstead Posted February 23 Posted February 23 I'm a Swift anti, but why people are upset about this is baffling to me. Nobody - literally nobody - is forcing you to buy every single variant she puts out.

I think she should focus on 9 other spots before the #1 Edited February 23 by WildHeart 2
woohoo Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Jesus Christ don’t buy it. Those songs will all be on Spotify for free eventually. Pick your favorite cover and shut up. . If one comes out you like better than what you had ordered, cancel the order or wait until you can grab your favorite second hand
unclefloprry Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Every fandom gets what it deserves. They showed her that they are able to buy recordings of her farts. I don't know why they complain about that now. 3 1

She must be over then. Since her stans are apparently leaving in droves, 100K debut and flop streams are surely incoming... Right?

Sweetness Posted February 23 Posted February 23 I'm not a fan of Taylor but just because she released something doesn't mean they have to buy it, she's not putting a gun to their head. Plus how much you want to bet if her fans stopped buying all these different versions she wouldn't keep releasing them, same thing with the remixes, that's how you make a statement.
Pop Fan Posted February 23 Posted February 23 There are like a few hundreds comments. This is a loud extremely small minority. 99% of people dgaf about things like that. Imagine being hurt by things like this. Those people don't have anything going on in their real life lmao. and all of those fans that are cancelling orders will be buying multiple variants she puts all of the 4 variants on her store 2 1

I’m only going to buy one version of TTPD, I’m waiting for all of them to be out to decide. With folklore I only bought 3 of the 8, with 1989 I only bought one of the 4, with Midnights I only bought 2 of the 5… Yall seem to think we are helpless and manipulated by our fav when we are rational adults who spend accordingly.

I resent this thinking, because I didnt buy every Spice Girl product and there was many, that I wasn't a real fan. At some point in time you have to have common sense and know when to stop, that's not being a fan but being overly obsessive.

The people complaining are people either new to the fandom or people with poor financial health. Same they thought they were doing something with that comment. I've been a stan since the Fearless era and have never bought multiple variants of Taylor's albums and never had the desire to do so. In fact the only variants I have of any of her albums are the Taylor's Versions and the OGs. Guess I must not be a true stan then 1
Pop Fan Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Can someone explain me what's the point of her making each variant an "exclusive" item that you can preorder only for a limited time. She could just reveal all of the variants in 1-2 weeks and have them all available on her store untill the album release. The backlash would be way smaller. Most people are mad that she's marketing the variants as limited and exclusive items but all variants are sooner or later available on her website and in Target. This is just stupid and it's also a problem cuz if you want all 4 variants you have to buy each individually and you have to pay the shipping four times insead of once. I just dont understand this
Pop Fan Posted February 23 Posted February 23 I'm a huge fan, Taylor's music is very important to me but I have never bought more than 1 version of an album. I own a few CDs and that's it. I don't understand why would someone "need" all 4 variants. I get that some people like to collect things like that owning a physical copy of an album with all of the extra content is very important to fans. But this backlash is idiotic, me and my Swiftie friends are just happy that we're getting extra content (photos, bonus tracks and posters) and that we can choose which version to buy. This backlash is so forced and so cringe. Swifties never fail to surprise me, some of zhem are so fragile and so entitled. They are legit feeling offended and think that they're the victims LMAO I would understand the backlash if buying an album would mean that you get advantages when it comes to tickets or fan events.That would actually be kinda problematic since fans would feel like they have to buy all variants to be able to get to see her live.

BrandNewBrandon Posted February 23 Posted February 23 (edited) Can a Taylor stan (or even anyone else) please explain to me why she needs to release different versions with a different bonus track for a limited time? Like, what's the purpose artistically? Does it tell a different story of the concept of the album? Does it change the message of the album? Why isn't she releasing all these bonus tracks on one version? Why the need to release all these variants? And I don't care who else is doing it other than her, I want to know what the intention of such action is? Edited February 23 by BrandNewBrandon
